2. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

   Using a turbocharger spool valve to increase exhaust gas flow speed to the (twin-scroll) turbine; Using a butterfly valve to force exhaust gas through a smaller passage in the turbo inlet; Electric turbochargers [52] and hybrid turbochargers. A similar phenomenon that is often mistaken for turbo lag is the boost threshold. This is where the ...

3. Turbocharged petrol engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharged_petrol_engine

   Turbochargers have been used on various petrol engines since 1962, in order to obtain greater power or torque output for a given engine displacement. Most turbocharged petrol engines use a single turbocharger; however, twin-turbo configurations are also often used.

4. Turbo-diesel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-diesel

   The term turbo-diesel, also written as turbodiesel and turbo diesel, refers to any diesel engine equipped with a turbocharger. As with other engine types, turbocharging a diesel engine can significantly increase its efficiency and power output, especially when used in combination with an intercooler .

5. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

   Variable-geometry turbochargers (VGTs), occasionally known as variable-nozzle turbochargers (VNTs), are a type of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (A/R ratio) of the turbocharger to be altered as conditions change. This is done with the use of adjustable vanes located inside the turbine housing between the ...

6. Forced induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_induction

   A turbocharger for a car engine A supercharger (on top of a dark-grey inlet manifold) for a car engine. In an internal combustion engine, forced induction is where turbocharging or supercharging is used to increase the density of the intake air. Engines without forced induction are classified as naturally aspirated. [1]

7. Twin-turbo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-turbo

   In an internal combustion engine, twin-turbo is a layout in which two turbochargers are used to compress the intake fuel/air mixture (or intake air, in the case of a direct-injection engine). The most common layout features two identical or mirrored turbochargers in parallel, each processing half of a V engine 's produced exhaust through ...
