My VF52 isnt as small as the TD04 and man it hated being pushed. My tuner knew this very well and made my car into a torque monster and tapper off at redline. Not worth pushing your small turbo for big power, on any car, it just makes it into a hair dryer on steroids. Got bigger turbo now, pushing same boost but made more power. I havent had issues in this heat wave so far, I know my vf52 would have been causing a lot of knocks. My injectors are maxed so this turbo is hardly doing any work right now. From a recent article "Run a Bigger Turbo Believe it or not, but a bigger turbocharger is a great upgrade for engine durability. For Subarus running 18+ PSI, the larger compressor wheel and housing will produce the same boost pressure at a lower temperature. The bigger turbine and turbine housing also improve the ability for the engine to expel exhaust gasses. Overall it is a great upgrade for any Subaru running more than stock boost pressure."
no, he still said 1 bar BOOST. not an absolute output pressure. so 1 bar in and 1 bar boost = ratio of 2...0 .9 bar in and 1 bar boost is 1.9 bar ratio of 1.9 i.e less...
Great video man. Can you please refresh my memory on how to plot the points on that compressor map, that show your different RPMs using the Volumetric efficiency formula at 1000rpm increments... I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's basically to determine what you're saying about being on the surge zone or efficiently working the turbo matched to the engine performance
If the pressure at the inlet is less, than atmosfere the pressure ratio is more not less and turbo is working hader to provide that 1 bar or wahteser is set to
Increased pressure ratio if you start lower but end at the same, no? So obtaining the pressure ratio is pretty straight forward, but for corrected air flow you need to know the actual engine airflow then adjust for temp/pressure, but how do you get the engine's air flow? It's pretty vital to using this map.
MrSlowestD16 Agree 100%. Without working out the approximate air mass your engine is expected to be consuming, these maps arent gonna help you choose a turbo. But with some info on engine size, max boost, max RPMs and such, you can pretty easily guestimate the amount of air your engine will roughly use at various RPMs and various boost levels. First step would be to try and get an approximate amount of air mass that your engine will consume. There are plenty of online calculators available that will give you an approximate value if you punch in a few bits of info. Displacement, boost, RPM and sometimes volumetric efficency. (Some online calculators are very detailed and allow for temperature and elevation aswell.) If you work out the approximate airflow you expect your engine to consume at certain RPMs and at certain boost levels, you can then plot that info onto a compressor map of a turbo you are considering and that will then help you best choose a turbo. You can see what RPMs the turbo should be at peak efficiency on your car. And what rpm and/or boost it will start to fall off the efficiency islands. But these maps are only half the story. They are only compressor maps, and they have no consideration to turbine size or AR. And how that will effect things. For example Garrett fo a gtx3076 and a gtx3576. Both have the same compressor, but the 35 has a larger turbine. These maps will not explain any of this to you. But you can use some guesstimation and assume the one with the larger turbine will be slightly slower to spool, but support a little more horsepower. This is exactly the steps i used when choosing my last turbo. And once fitted, the characteristics very closely matched my predicted calculations.
When calculating the estimated air consumption of an engine. Some things are gonna be pretty easy. Dispacement, boost and RPMs are pretty easy to punch into an online calculator. As is temps aswell. But they will sometimes ask for a volumetric efficiency (VE) figure. Which is gonna be difficult to know. But you can make a pretty good guess for this. Most 4 valve per cylinder dohc engines are gonna be up in the 90s these days. Cars with big cams may push this out a bit further and/or later into the rev range. Other breathing mods like performance exhausts and intakes, and especially things like cylinder head porting and such willl also generally net better VE. (Its why mods like that make more power) With that info, you can then plot the points over the top of a turbo compressor map and this will then give you a pretty accurate estimation of how the turbo in question will perform.
Had a doubt. You said when the RPM increases the operating point goes horizontally to the right to the current RPM curve. However, shouldn't the boost ratio increase as well and the operating point actually shift diagonally?
The Y axis only contains the pressure ratio. If your boost holds 1 bar above atmospheric and your turbo has a very good intake without losses, you're very close to a 2.0 pressure ratio. You will stay at 2.0 pressure ratio unless you start asking your boost controller for more or less boost across the rpm range.
Hello, with which of the 2 wheels I have the best performance, both wheels have the same average TD04HL 45.65/52mm 5+5blades turbo wheel/ turbine shaft&wheel for MITSUBISHI TD04HL 45.65/52mm 9 blades turbo wheel/ turbine shaft&wheel for MITSUBISHI
1 bar of compressor pressure is 2 bar absolute pressure so 2bar absolute divided by 1 bar ambient pressure equals pressure ratio of 2 or 14.7 psi of boost pressure is 29.4 psi absolute soo 29.4 psi of absolute divided by 14.7 psi ambient equals... you guessed it pressure ratio of 2
Hi ,nice video. Would you please help me ? I have a compressor wheel. On it,27/2227L is written. And I need to find compressor map for this one. Please helps. Thank you.
Daniel Napast that's the point of my question ik most hemi's last between 200,000 to 300,000 and I want to test what might make it faster strong with a bit more torque so when I drop in the new engine ik what setup I can put in without destroying it this is the first engine and I plan on making the second engine last as long thanks.
Either I'm an idiot, or I'm looking at this the wrong way. Isn't "reading" that map like looking at a Contour map? I'm just reading that like I'd read a map of an area, so the less contour lines the easier it is to walk along. Or in this case, the less contour lines, the more efficiently your turbo will be working inside a defined area?
You want the air flow to be in that center island were the efficiency is best and never outside the map. However that isn't easy. It has to do with the size of the engine, rpm, boost level, and few other things like volumetric efficiency.
Ok, so I've kinda got that. Can the other side of the Turbo be mapped as well? Map how effective the Impeller is? And can you then look at both of the maps and work out the best impeller for the best compressor for the application you're looking for? I think I need to find a good book.
jack black I believe he said it was a basic idea of how it works, he's not going to do a uni course on explaining it.... Find an engineering explained video if you want that
jack black Agree. As the others have said, this is a very complicated topic, and way more than you could expect to cover in a short You tube video. But at the very least i would have liked to see him explain how to calculate the estimated air mass consumption of a engine for a given RPM and boost. Without this piece of info, looking at compressor maps is basically a waste of time. But once you have calculated the estimated air requirements of your engine. You can then plot that data over the top of a compressor map. And this will fairly accuaretly be able to tell you how the turbo would be expected to perform on your engine. And allow you to best choose a turbo for your application. This should have been covered in the video, as without this step, what is even the point of looking at a compressor map? It means nothing to you if you cant relate where you engine will be operating on the map.
thanks for yet another video of an explanation that didn't teach me anything. there has got to be a way to explain how it works in terms that are easily understood. I guess what im asking for is a video that takes an engine and multiple compressor maps and clearly defines what each line is and how you can equate the pressure ratio to something tangible ie: max boost pressure you want to run. then have a corresponding line show rpm and where that engine is in those efficiency islands as it accelerates. then take each map and show how the every day person can get the best turbo matched to their engine. I mean isn't that what people look at the maps for anyway? I know each engine is very different due to how the exhaust and intake flows but can you take a base line measurement like liters and show how this turbo would be bad because it has too much displacement? then show us what turbos come close to being fully efficient for most of the rev range. That would show me a more practical use for the maps other wise I don't see a use. there has to be a common denominator that each person can use to pair the turbo properly.
The issue is that static displacement only tells you part of the story, and every turbo is going to react differently on every engine, yielding a near infinite number of combinations, each incomparable to another, even with similar turbos. You can't just list boost, because atmospheric pressure plays a role, as does the pressure at the inlet of the turbo in the case of vehicles where you're limited on plumbing. You just can't list this out with hard numbers unless it's for a very specific combination with all parts being known. 1 Bar on a 2L four versus 1 bar on a 4.6L eight is going to have VERY different airflow requirements, with no turbo able to efficiently accomplish both. Hell, even hitting 1 Bar at 3000 RPM versus being at 1 Bar at 7000 RPM on the same engine is going to have a major difference in what you're going to be asking of the turbo because of differences in airflow and cylinder filling. A SOHC 2.0L engine with a crap head and restrictive manifolds is going to move less air than a DOHC 1.8L with really high flowing heads and manifolds, RPM being equal. This is why turbo manufacturers use compressor maps rather than anything else. The charts are relatively simple, you just have to know how much air your engine moves at the RPM you want peak boost at (you can ballpark it and still be fine), and how much boost you want. At sea level on a calm day, you'd see 1 Bar of atmospheric pressure, so if you wanted 1 Bar of boost, you'd want a pressure ratio of 2. With the vertical axis being pressure ratio, that tells you how much pressure, relative to the barometer, that the turbo will be happy at and the horizontal tells you how much airflow it'll be good with. In the map shown, that turbo will be happiest with between a pressure ratio of 1.75 at 20 lb/min of air, and 2.75 and 32lb/min of air. That would have a 2L engine pretty happy at 1 bar at 4000 RPM, or it would have a 4.6L engine making the same boost at 2300 RPM nearing the top of this turbo's highest efficiency island, if I have my math right. That 4.6L engine would be so far beyond the compressors choke point at 4000 RPM that neither it or the turbo would be long for this world. Short answer: This is as simple as compressor maps can be explained and not just turn into armchair racing with potential for huge inaccuracy. TL;DR: Just get whatever the forums says works for your car and power goals.

Fernando C FYI, they don't teach compressor maps in engineering in Ontario. So yes, RUclips isn't just a source of entertainment it is a source of education. Inquiring minds can now purchase books for the rest of the maths, like fuelling requirements. I wouldn't bother with a certificate, if you're intelligent enough you can figure it out on your own; I know I have and there are certainly smarter people out there.

nice addition to the channel imo
that graph shows the turbo working best at 2.25 about and 2.6 = the most efficant area of performance in the middle of the spinnacre ! graph !
If the pressure at the inlet is less, then the pressure ratio has increased.
That assumes output pressure has remained unchanged
Yes I'm saying he errored at 1:17.
oh gotcha
Yep. I agree.
no, he still said 1 bar BOOST. not an absolute output pressure. so 1 bar in and 1 bar boost = ratio of 2...0 .9 bar in and 1 bar boost is 1.9 bar ratio of 1.9 i.e less...
Never really thought about the calculations behind this sort of thing. Really cool video :)
I'd like to see how you work out choosing the turbos for Compound set up!!
Thanks for the great info once again. Can the next vid be on how to correctly match a turbo using the map like you have just shown.
good idea for a video guys, most people with turbo's don't even know what a turbo map is, let alone how to read one

Intercooler psi drop is also a part of pressure ratio calculations
well it's important for the engine power but the talk in the video is about the turbo efficiency itself.
If the pressure at the inlet is less, than atmosfere the pressure ratio is more not less and turbo is working hader to provide that 1 bar or wahteser is set to

YAY! Bret took my suggestion thanks man. I'm still a little confused tho 😕
1 bar of compressor pressure with 1 bar of atmospheric intake pressure makes a pressure ratio of 1, not 2.
Mishellis gauge pressure versus absolute pressure.
1 bar of compressor pressure is 2 bar absolute pressure so 2bar absolute divided by 1 bar ambient pressure equals pressure ratio of 2 or 14.7 psi of boost pressure is 29.4 psi absolute soo 29.4 psi of absolute divided by 14.7 psi ambient equals...
you guessed it pressure ratio of 2

NOT BY WATCHING RUclips ROFL .there's trade certificate involved mate
Fernando C FYI, they don't teach compressor maps in engineering in Ontario. So yes, RUclips isn't just a source of entertainment it is a source of education.
Inquiring minds can now purchase books for the rest of the maths, like fuelling requirements. I wouldn't bother with a certificate, if you're intelligent enough you can figure it out on your own; I know I have and there are certainly smarter people out there.
Never really thought about the calculations behind this sort of thing. Really cool video :)
