What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo retains a suitable turbocharger design for to receive internal changes. Depending on the specific application, these may relate to the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the casings, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ d’air to meet needs dengine tuning. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’: the wheel is machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput dair. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d’origin’.

An MFS wheel Performance may use a geometry suited to the preparation objective, with a specific profile, dimensions or blade configuration where these elements are documented.

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 dair. A higher flow rate can enable the engine to produce more power with the right tuning, although this alone does not guarantee a performance gain.

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 the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor.

The right geometry can move more d’air under certain conditions’. The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may affect response time and range doptimal use.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop fitted to each stage helps to distribute the axial forces acting on the rotating assembly. It does not exempt d’proper lubrication nor d’a compliant assembly’.

High-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench is designed to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor. It does not protect the turbocharger against incorrect fitting, contamination or faults doil supply.

Engine remapping and tuning

Making the most of features dA hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping and boost pressure control. Depending on the level of preparation: fuel injection, exhaust, air cooling dThe intake, clutch or gearbox must also be checked or adjusted.

The wastegate must be adjusted. A hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power increase without appropriate tuning of the entire engine system.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the turbo part number dOriginal, OEM part numbers and manufacturer part numbers. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, the assembly period and the engine code, where available.

An identical engine does not always guarantee compatibility between two turbochargers.
