I have something to ask about turbo charging. I want to know how it works and on my VN S2 what and why a tubo manifold is different to the original. I have looked at cars on this site which have a manifold which looks that same i.e 3800 across the top but understand why you need to change it could someone explain this to me? pics would be helpful 2 if u can be bothered
So the top is the same, injectors,fuel rails,throttle body position etc. just the exhaust has the turbo in it? does that need the manifold to hang on or something?
lol. The turbo uses the exhaust gases to spin the turbine which inturn sucks in and compresses air from the air filter which goes through an intercooler which cools the air down making it more compressed before it comes out the other side of the turbo and into the throttle body. The used exhaust gas is then put out the waste gate and if you have a blow off valve this is what sets it off.
Are you ****ing serious? Sorry, but thats the only thing that came to my mind after reading that. Cooling the air cant possibly compress it more. Colder air = more dense = more power. And once its compressed it cant re-enter the turbo, which doesnt make sense anyway because you just cooled through your compressing intercooler. Used exhaust gas goes straight out the exhaust. A wastegate is to regulate the exhaust pressure feeding the turbo. Blow off valves are activated by a change in throttle vacuum.
Lol, I think the only part you got right was the bit about the exhaust spinning the turbine, rest = Fail.
Thanks that was very helful. To turbo my vn i will need an turbo,inter cooler,piping,turbo manifold,bigger injectors,better fuel pump, already runs a MAP sensor, different computer. what else do u need?
turbo, manifolds, supercharged injectors 36Lb's,2 bar MAP sensor,intercooler and pipe work ,if the turbo has an internal wastegate you wont need and external one,blow off valve,new chip for in the ecu, fuel pump with more flow
roughly how much. What do think of this turbo on once side black piping into the inter cooler sprayed black and run up inside the standard air box into the throttle body for full stealth. would this be possible?
well it wont really be stealth cause theres gonna be a whopping great tubo in there.like clints wagon bit hard to hide that sucker :whistling
Why do you want to hide it? Anyone who knows what they are looking for will see is straight away anyway
you rekon cos I'm on my P's lol. As soon as they see the pipes they will follow it and what's the penalties?
3 demerit points and up to $1100 bux in fines. Edit: That's for any "Performance" mod to any P Plate car.
crap that's tuff man. maybe just do up my V6, i still have 3 years ahead of me as i get my license on Tuesday. Just picked up today a vn with a stage 2 cams and stage 2 shift kit on the auto with cooler. want to change it across. what u guys think of that
Until you really know how to drive, leave the power mods on the shelf. A VN is risky enough for a novice driver - the last thing the roads need is another inexperienced driver with a modified VN loose. Christ, you don't even have your license yet and you're asking questions about how to turbocharge a car and hide it from the cops. What an idiot!
