What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo is based on a specially adapted turbocharger design for to receive internal components that differ from the configuration d’origin’. Depending on the service, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the casings, the thrust bearing system and the balancing of the rotor.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ dair. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of its components and the overall coherence of the unit determine its performance.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This technology describes a manufacturing process and does not, in itself, guarantee an increase in throughput dair.

A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to the original. An MFS wheel Performance may be designed with a geometry suited to the application, with a different blade profile, height, width or diameter where such modifications are specified.

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. The wheel described here is made from forged aluminium and features a lighter, larger and taller design than the one d’original; the technical data sheet states an additional compression capacity of 15 per cent.

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 result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee a better result and may affect the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° bearing stop distributes the axial forces over a surface area suited to the rotor’s operation. It provides equipment for the three documented training courses.

High-speed balancing, carried out at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench, is designed to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, it does not protect the turbocharger against incorrect fitting, inadequate lubrication or the presence of da foreign body.

Engine remapping and tuning

The farm dA hybrid turbo requires appropriate engine management. Mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, the exhaust system, cooling and, depending on the vehicle, the transmission must be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted when the ECU is remapped. Fitting the turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d’origin, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, generation, engine type, power output, theYear installation and engine code. The same engine can be fitted with several different turbo set-ups.

If in doubt, please contact us, quoting the reference number clearly visible on your turbo’s nameplate d’origin’.
