2. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

   [28] [29] Some turbocharger designs are available with multiple turbine housing options, allowing a housing to be selected to best suit the engine's characteristics and the performance requirements. A turbocharger's performance is closely tied to its size, [30] and the relative sizes of the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel. Large turbines ...

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. Intercooler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercooler

   Front-mounted air-to-air intercooler Top-mounted air-to-liquid intercooler (the silver cuboid-shaped part) on a BMW S55 turbocharged engine. An intercooler is a heat exchanger used to cool a gas after compression. [1] Often found in turbocharged engines, intercoolers are also used in air compressors, air conditioners, refrigeration and gas ...

5. 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 ...

6. Chevrolet Cobalt SS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cobalt_SS

   Both stage 1 and 2 kits increase the engine redline to 7,000 rpm. [12] The Stage 3 kit consists of a smaller, 76 mm (3.0 in) supercharger pulley, a 2‑pass intercooler end plate and a customizable replacement ECU. The Stage 3 ECU allows for the use of a 50‑shot of nitrous, 100 octane fuel and an adjustable redline from 6,750 to 8,000 rpm.

7. 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 .
