I watched this video just before going for a job interview at a big turbo manufacturer. They asked about my understanding of turbochargers which I wasn’t prepared for as i was going into machine maintenance. I have been working there for nearly a year now. Thanks Donut!
I will be honest, I like lag. Whenever you stomp on the accelerator it starts to goes then it's just throws you in your seat and I love that. No lag is good for pure performance but I prefer a few second before it final kicks in just for that suspense and thrill before the boost kicks in.
Race car drivers (like for those monstrously powerful 1980's turbo F1 cars) just anticipated the lag into their driving technique; they'd hold the throttle while braking on corners to keep pressure up so they wouldn't have any lag at the exit.
When your waiting for your lag to be over the other car next to you that your racing has his motor and turbo or turbos dialed in and his has hardly any lag smokes u in a roll start! Don’t get me wrong when the lag is over it’s cool when u see your passengers face
I can’t drive cuz I’m only 14, but I got to ride in my dad’s friend’s 2015 STi. And holy crap that was fun! We were merging on the highway and he kicked the rpms up to about 5000 and I felt like I was gonna go thru the seat lol

@@lucasbrien5008 i just got out of the military after 5 years as an aviation machinist mate. i didn’t know how a car or jet worked before i joined the military. i learned in aviation school right after boot camp how a jet works, 2 years after that, i find this channel and learn how a car works. let me tell you, i’d love to live through the entire process again
Am I the only person that likes having a bit of lag in a turbocharged car? The feeling of boost building up before you feel the car launch has always been satisfying for me.
Many people don't get how stickers work. They actually multyply the power of the engine at all rpm and conditions, so if your engine has more power and you have stickers worth of 50% power increse, you will make more use of them by having a more powerful engine. That's why race cars have both powerful engines and stickers.
do a video explaining the different aspirations of an engine (i.e turbocharging, supercharging, and natural aspiration) and the difference between them. i have a friend who still cant get the concept of engine aspiration.
In a normal naturally aspirated engine the air is sucked in like a vacuum from the piston going down during the intake stroke. Only so much air can be sucked in this way. The only way to get more air in is to force it in instead of letting it get sucked in. Turbochargers and superchargers do the same exact thing. They force air into the combustion chamber. It's just the way they do it is different. Obviously he explained turbo in this video. A supercharger does not use the exhaust to spin it. It's actually connected just like your air conditioner and alternator and spins from a belt so there is no lag because you don't have to wait for the exhaust to spin it. You get instant power, no lag.
Nim from what i understand. Superchargers are prone to belt slips among other things. Don’t know much about it myself but I feel that’s what im going to get.
@Nim superchargers rob hp from the engine to pull the belt to spin it, then the supercharger gives back the hp plus a little more. whilst a turbo takes longer, it uses exhaust gasses to power it. plus turbos are a little bit more tune able then super chargers
@Joshua Spengeman Roadkill managed to slightly gain power in their leaf blower charged Monza, but it was awkward, impractical, and the gains in a real world setting were negligible. Still hilarious tho.
Good for you, man. I'm already 20 yet I'm only learning how cars work since I really don't have any reliable resources to learn about em over the years. Then I found this channel and other goodies on youtube.

When I was an apprentice at VW, I got the chance to try to fix a broken variable geometry turbo, which was very interesting. You should have explained about those turbos too :D Loved the video!

Dude science garage was the best and so was Bart, I loved his energy and jokes. I keep seeing comments saying it wasnt profitable enough or he was started a family? Either way if donut could bring Bart back with science garage I'd be sooo happy
3:57 there is a way to kill lag by spinnin’ the turbo electronically although it might take a tall on the battery Look up on top gears review on the Mercedes Benz Amg 1
Another method that VW have done is to setup a twincharged system. Have an exhaust gas driven turbo for high end power with a mechanically driven supercharger to provide instant low end power until the turbo spools up
I think he means turbo setups that are common. That 2JZ Silvia was a one off car built in Japan. And the Veyron shares the quad turbo with only one other car, the Chiron.
lol V is the configuration to give extra power to the same amount of cylinders. V6 etc its just how many cylinders the car has and it's split in half for equal power hence V.
