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 course, the preparation may involve the compressor wheel, the casings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing and balancing.

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 geometry of the components and the overall coherence of the unit are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’ and refers to a wheel machined from a solid block. This technology describes its 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 can be configured with a profile, blade height, width or diameter suited to the preparation task. On this product, the wheel shown is made of forged aluminium; it is lighter, larger and taller than the one d'as originally intended, with a claimed 15 per cent higher compression'.

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 help to generate more power when combined with appropriate engine tuning, although it does not, on its own, guarantee results.

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'air displaced under certain operating conditions'.

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

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop, as documented in each module, distributes the axial forces around the axis. It helps to adapt the turbo to the stresses of tuning without making it insensitive to poor lubrication or incorrect fitting.

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

Engine remapping and tuning

Appropriate engine management is required for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Depending on the level of preparation, it is advisable to check whether or d'adjust the mapping, fuel injection, boost pressure, exhaust system, cooling system and other relevant components'. The wastegate must be adjusted when the ECU is remapped. A turbocharger on its own does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d'origin', then compare the OEM and manufacturer part numbers. Also check the make, model, version, engine type and power output of 82 hp, the assembly period and, where available, the engine code. Having the same motor does not always guarantee compatibility.

If in doubt, please contact our team, quoting the reference number clearly visible on your turbocharger d'origin'.
