What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the re-profiling of the housings.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: its geometry, the associated housings, the balancing and the consistency of the modification are also crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This designation describes its manufacturing process, but does not in itself guarantee a higher flow rate. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that of the d original.

An MFS wheel Performance can be designed with a geometry suited to the tuning objective. For this product, a high-flow MFS wheel is documented for at Stage 1, whilst Stage 2 and Stage 3 explicitly use a oversized wheel with a re-profiled d intake housing.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as effective as an MFS impeller 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 help to generate more power with the right engine tuning, though it does not in itself guarantee results.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air sent to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement all influence its aerodynamic behaviour.. The right geometry can move more d air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the mapping.. A larger impeller can also alter the response time and the range d of optimal operation.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° bearing stop, featured on all three stages, helps to distribute axial forces around the shaft. However, it does not protect the turbocharger against a lack of lubrication, contamination or incorrect installation.

Each configuration undergo d ’ high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, whilst not replacing the essential checks carried out during assembly.

Engine remapping and preparation

Appropriate engine management is necessary for to make full use of the characteristics d of a hybrid turbo. Depending on the tuning package and the vehicle, it is advisable to check the mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust, cooling and transmission. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. No power gain can be guaranteed without a consistent configuration and appropriate tuning.
