  2. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    An external wastegate requires a specially constructed turbo manifold with a dedicated runner going to the wastegate. The external wastegate may be part of the exhaust housing itself. External wastegates are commonly used for regulating boost levels more precisely than internal wastegates in high power applications, where high boost levels can ...

  3. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.

  4. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases. It uses this energy to compress the intake air, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement .

  6. GM L3B engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_L3B_engine

    The BorgWarner developed turbo can produce up to 27 psi (1.9 bar) of boost thanks in part to its unique dual volute turbine housing and an electrically actuated wastegate. Instead of two side-by-side exhaust passages like on a regular twin-scroll turbocharger , in this design the two exhaust passages are concentric and allow for better use of ...

  7. Turbopump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump

    Part of an axial turbopump designed and built for the M-1 rocket engine. A turbopump is a propellant pump with two main components: a rotodynamic pump and a driving gas turbine, usually both mounted on the same shaft, or sometimes geared together.

  8. Automatic Performance Control - Wikipedia

    The white area on the left side of the scale shows manifold vacuum under normal driving conditions, the short white dash is atmospheric pressure (engine off), the orange scale is where there is safe turbo boost, the red scale is boost above 0.5 - 0.7 bar where the wastegate may be opened or a fuel cut due to overboost may occur.

  9. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    This design has a lower flow rate compared to VNT types so a wastegate may be incorporated with this design. [5] VGTs may be controlled by a membrane vacuum actuator, electric servo, 3-phase electric actuation, hydraulic actuator, or pneumatic actuator using air brake pressure. Unlike fixed-geometry turbines, VGTs do not require a wastegate. [6]
