  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. Antilag system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilag_system

    The anti-lag system (ALS) is a method of reducing turbo lag or effective compression used on turbocharged engines to minimize turbo lag on racing or performance cars. It works by retarding the ignition timing and adding extra fuel (and sometimes air) to balance an inherent loss in combustion efficiency with increased pressure at the charging side of the turbo.

  4. Start menu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_menu

    The Windows 95 Start menu. The Start menu first appeared in Windows 95.It was made to overcome the shortcomings of Program Manager in previous operating systems. [5] Program Manager consisted of a simple multiple document interface (MDI) which allowed users to open separate "program groups" and then execute the shortcuts to programs contained within.

  6. 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.

  7. Preload control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_control

    Multiple techniques exist for preload control to ensure that the tension in the bolt is close to the one specified in the design (some bolt-to-bolt statistical variations are inevitable): [1] torque-controlled tightening is a simple and most popular approach: the fastener is tightened until the torque limit is reached.

  8. Preload (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(engineering)

    Preload in such cases is important for several reasons. First, a tightened bolt experiences only a small fraction of any external load that will be applied later, so that a fully tightened bolt can (depending on the exact application) sustain a much greater load than a loosely tightened bolt.

  9. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    If the aspect ratio is too large, the turbo will fail to create boost at low speeds; if the aspect ratio is too small, the turbo will choke the engine at high speeds, leading to high exhaust manifold pressures, high pumping losses, and ultimately lower power output. By altering the geometry of the turbine housing as the engine accelerates, the ...
