What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo uses a specially adapted turbocharger design for to receive modified internal components. Depending on the course, the preparation may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the casings, the thrust bearing system 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 their mechanical fit 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 close to its original state. An MFS wheel Performance can be configured with a profile, height, blade width or diameter suited to the preparation task. On this product, the wheel is described as a forged aluminium wheel, which is lighter, larger and taller than the one d'as originally stated, with a claimed 15 per cent additional 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 contribute to power output with the right engine tuning, although this alone does not guarantee a specific result.

Why does the geometry of the blades affect the flow rate? d'air?' ?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air intended for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air under certain operating conditions'.

The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better handling and may affect the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop – as documented for Each bearing helps to distribute the axial forces acting on the rotating assembly. It does not exempt d'proper assembly nor' d'proper lubrication'.

The assembly is balanced at high speeds, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This procedure is designed to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, but it does not protect against incorrect installation or a fault d'oil or the presence d'a foreign body'.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine management system needs to be adjusted for make the most of the features d'a hybrid turbo'. Mapping, boost pressure and wastegate settings must be checked during remapping.

Depending on the configuration, the systems d'injection, d'The exhaust and cooling systems may also need to be checked or adjusted'. The clutch, transmission and other vehicle components must be assessed in light of the planned modifications.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d'original', then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer's specifications in this data sheet. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, theYear the mounting code and the engine code, where available.

An identical motor does not always guarantee compatibility, as there may be several different configurations for the same vehicle.

If you are unsure about the fitment, please contact us, quoting the full part number from your turbocharger.
