What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo utilises a suitably adapted turbocharger design for to receive modified internal components. Depending on the design, modifications may relate to the compressor impeller, its dimensions and the geometry of its blades, the casings, the turbine impeller, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air to meet the engine's requirements'. A hybrid turbocharger is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the combination of components and their mechanical compatibility are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This term describes the manufacturing process, but does not in itself guarantee an increase in throughput d'air'. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'.

An MFS wheel Performance may use a geometry suited to the preparation objective, for example a specific diameter, profile or blade arrangement, where these characteristics are documented.

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 d'air'. A higher flow rate can enable the engine to produce more power with the appropriate engine tuning, although this does not guarantee a performance gain.

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 the blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air within certain operating ranges'.

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

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop, documented for each stage, helps to distribute the axial forces acting on the rotating assembly. It does not exempt d'proper lubrication nor d'a compliant assembly'.

The rotor is balanced at high speed – up to 150,000 rpm – on a Cimat VSR test bench, in order to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not protect against incorrect installation, contamination or a fault d'oil supply'.

Engine remapping and tuning

It may be necessary to adjust the engine management system for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Mapping, boost pressure, fuel supply, air cooling d'The intake, exhaust, clutch and gearbox must be checked, depending on the vehicle and the level of modification'.

The wastegate must be adjusted during the fitting and remapping of the ECU. A hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power boost without the appropriate engine set-up.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d'origin and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers listed on this sheet'. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, theYear the mounting code and the engine code, where available. Having the same motor does not always guarantee compatibility.
