What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo retains a suitable turbocharger design for to receive internal components or specific machining operations. Depending on the modification, changes may relate to the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the casings, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ d’air to meet needs dengine tuning. A hybrid turbocharger is therefore not defined solely by the design of its impeller, but by the consistency of its mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput dair. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d’origin’.

An MFS wheel Performance may have a geometry suited to the purpose for which it is intended, in particular in terms of its diameter, profile or blade configuration. A standard MFS wheel can be just as shiny as an MFS wheel Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more dair.

A flow rate d’Higher air pressure can enable the engine to produce more power with the right set-up, although this alone is no guarantee of success’.

Why does the geometry of the blades affect the flow rate? d’air ?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air fed to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor. The right geometry can move more dair under certain operating conditions.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine section, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may affect response time and range doptimal use.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° bearing stop, as documented in both training courses, helps to ensure a better distribution of axial forces. However, it does not exempt one from d’proper lubrication, d’a meticulous edit and d’appropriate management of overeating’.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This procedure is designed to minimise vibrations and mechanical stress, but does not protect the turbocharger against a lack of lubrication, a foreign object or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine management system needs to be adjusted for make the most of the features of this hybrid turbo. Mapping, boost pressure, fuel delivery, the exhaust system and cooling must be checked or adjusted depending on the level of preparation.

The wastegate must be adjusted during fitting and remapping. The transmission and other vehicle components must also be checked in accordance with the required configuration. A hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power boost without proper preparation.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d…the original and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer’s specifications in this data sheet. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, the assembly period and the engine code.

An identical engine does not always guarantee compatibility, as there may be several different configurations depending on the vehicle version.
