What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger design that has been adapted to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the modification, changes may relate to the compressor impeller, its dimensions, the casings, the turbine impeller, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ dair to meet the requirements of the preparation. A hybrid turbocharger is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the consistency between the components and their mechanical compatibility remains a key factor.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This designation describes the manufacturing process, but does not in itself guarantee an increase in flow rate dair. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d’origin’.

An MFS wheel Performance can be designed with a geometry suited to the intended application, particularly in terms of the profile, height, width or arrangement of the blades. 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. This additional flow rate can only be utilised with a suitable engine configuration.

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 all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more dair under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may affect response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The documented 360° bearing stop helps to distribute axial forces around the axis. The rotor is balanced at high speed – up to 150,000 rpm – on a Cimat VSR test bench in order to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for incorrect assembly or a lack of lubrication.

Engine remapping and tuning

The farm dA hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping, boost pressure, fuel supply and air cooling d’intake and exhaust’. The clutch, gearbox and other components must also be checked, depending on the vehicle and the level of modification. The wastegate must be adjusted correctly. Fitting the turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger dthe original, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer’s part numbers listed on this sheet. Also check the model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, the assembly period and the engine code. Having the same engine is not always enough to confirm compatibility.
