The Best Approach To Covert A NASP Engine To A Turbo Engine

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

 

What Is A Turbocharger

A turbocharger is an air compressor which sucks air in and squishes it up. This compressed air will carry more oxygen so you would be able to burn more fuel.
The fuel and air mixture in an engine is vital and you can only run an engine when this ratio is correct.
Early pilots, especially in wartime needed more altitude and more speed. The issue was that the higher you went the slower the engine ran, and if you went too high the engine would stall completely. Early aeroplane engines were fuelled by petrol or ethanol and have a lot in common with the modern automotive engine. With aeroplane engines the problem was getting enough air into them at high altitude where the air is thinner and contains less oxygen. A way to compress the air was conceived. source on turbo history
The turbo has two turbines connected by a spindle. On one site it is spun by the flow of exhaust gases and this in turn rotates the other side, the compression part. This enables an engine to produce far more power and work in extreme environments. Read More: TopCarsPicks.com
