Turbochargers force more air into an engine
and allow it to burn more fuel, this means you get a lot more power
from an engine once it has been turbocharged. NASP engines use the
vacuum created in the engine to pull in air. Our friends at car tuning
tips gave us some tips and pointers on fitting a turbo to your NASP engine
We talk about volumetric efficiency, where the engine uses it’s capacity to contain air and fuel and burn it. A NASP engine is only around 60% efficient.
Can you just bolt on a turbo?
Not really, this is just a myth you see in computer games and in the movies. Your turbo needs a supply of oil otherwise it will burn out. You also need to make sure the intake can handle the extra pressure.
Compressing air also produces heat and as hot air cannot carry as much oxygen as cold air you will lose some of the potential power gains. An intercooler will help to drop the intake temperatures after the turbo to acceptable levels. Read More: TopCarsPicks.com
