What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the specification, modifications may involve the compressor wheel, its geometry, its dimensions, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: its performance depends on its entire mechanical configuration.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This is d'a manufacturing process which, on its own, does not guarantee an increase in air flow rate d'air. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'of the original.

For this product, the high-flow MFS impeller is specified as being made of forged aluminium, lighter, larger and taller than the d'original' impeller. The product specifications indicate an additional compression capacity of 15 per cent.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as shiny 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 airflow can help to generate more power when the engine is suitably tuned.

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 the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour and the amount d of air displaced under certain operating conditions.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine, its housing, the boost pressure and the engine set-up. A larger impeller does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time as well as the range d of optimal operation.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The documented 360° thrust bearing helps to distribute the axial forces to which the rotating assembly is subjected. However, it does not eliminate the need d for proper lubrication or d for correct installation.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses, without compensating for any installation faults d, contamination or insufficient oil supply.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The wastegate must be adjusted during the ECU reprogramming.

Depending on the configuration, it is also advisable to check or d'adjust the fuel injection, boost pressure, exhaust system, cooling system, intake system and, if necessary, the transmission. Fitting d'a hybrid turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number on the original turbo d and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this fact sheet. Also check the make, model, generation, engine type, power output at hp, theYear and the engine code where available. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
