TURBO CHARGER SYSTEM 5–3
INTRODUCTION
What is the turbocharger?
Turbochargers are based on gas turbine
engine technology, but operate under con-
siderably greater pressure.
The turbocharger consists of two turbo ele-
ments, a turbine and a compressor, both of
which are driven from the main center shaft.
The turbine rotates between 50,000~160,000
spins per minute and uses the energy of the
exhaust gas to drive the compressor. The
compressor, in turn, draws in fresh air which
it supplies to the cylinders in compressed
from.
As more fuel is drawn into the engine, out-
