TURBO
Norsk



• Use oil that is intended for turbos, and change the oil and oil filter sufficiently often.
• The oil filter must be changed every time you change the oil.

Turbo

   An engine without a turbo must suck in the air it needs for combustion, while on an engine with a turbo, the turbo will push a larger amount of air into the engine. This gives the engine more power.
   A large turbo (T1) will only start to work well after the engine has reached a certain speed (needs time to spin up to speed). A smaller turbo, on the other hand (T2), will start to work at lower revs, as it has less mass. It will spin up speed faster.

   When you park, it is very important that the engine is allowed to idle for half a minute, so the turbo has time to cool down. And if you have been driving at high revs for the last few minutes before stopping, you should wait at least one minute to switch off the engine, so that the oil has time to cool down the turbo.

Function                                


   The turbo consists of two turbines on a common shaft. One turbine is driven by the exhaust, and the other pushes air into the engine.
   The axle is supplied with oil under pressure, for lubrication and cooling. The temperature can be very high.
   If the pressure is too high, the wastegate valve opens. Thus, the pressure can only reach a certain height.
   On the turbo 2, there is also a intercooler, a kind of air radiator that cools the air from the turbo to the engine.
