What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo uses a turbocharger design adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the stage of the upgrade, modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing and the rotor balancing.

The aim is dto adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. However, the result depends on the overall configuration: impeller geometry, housings, boost pressure and engine settings. The appearance of the compressor impeller is therefore not sufficient to define the performance dof a hybrid turbo.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process alone does not guarantee an increase in air flow d. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that dof the original.

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. On this product, the documented MFS impeller is lighter, larger and taller than the d’original impeller; it is claimed to provide 15 per cent more compression. To make the most of this capability, appropriate engine tuning is required.

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. A suitable geometry can move more dair under certain conditions, but a larger impeller does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine mapping.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces around the turbo’s axis. The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not protect against incorrect installation, contamination or inadequate lubrication.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for to make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. This involves adjusting the mapping, boost pressure, injection, air cooling d, the intake, the exhaust and, depending on the vehicle, the clutch or transmission must be checked.. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU.. The turbo alone does not guarantee any specific power output.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number engraved on the turbo dthe original, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the vehicle’s make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output,Year and engine code. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
