What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo utilises a suitably adapted turbocharger design for to receive modified internal components. Depending on the course, the preparation may involve the compressor wheel, the casings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing and the balancing of the rotor.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air'. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the dimensions, geometry, machining of the housings and the overall balance of the unit are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This technology describes its manufacturing process and does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput d'air'.

A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'. An MFS wheel Performance adopts a geometry suited to the intended purpose. For this product, the wheels are described as being made of forged aluminium; they are lighter, larger and taller than the original ones, with a claimed 15 per cent higher load-bearing capacity.

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 contribute to an increase in power when the engine has been properly tuned.

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 its aerodynamic behaviour and the amount d'the volume of air it can move depending on the operating mode'.

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

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The documented 360° stop helps to distribute the axial forces around the axis. It helps to adapt the bearing to the stresses of the preparation process, without making the turbocharger insensitive to faults in assembly or lubrication.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. The aim of this operation is to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses during rotation.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine management system needs to be adjusted for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU.

Depending on the level of preparation, the fuel injection, exhaust system, cooling system, boost pressure and transmission must also be checked or adjusted. The editing d'A hybrid turbo alone does not guarantee a power boost'.

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, engine type and power output in hp, theYear the mounting code and the engine code, where available.

The same engine can be fitted with several different turbocharger set-ups. The vehicle’s registration details do not, therefore, replace the check against the reference number.
