Turbos.....
-
I know that turbos can be Programed to kick in at diff rpms... but is it actually possible to turn it on and off with a switch/button????
-
dun think so? MAYBE u can do that for a supercharger. doubt so for a turbo.
-
maybe you are toking abt the bar boost??
-
Of course. But why would you want to do that?Originally posted by mad.obsessionz:I know that turbos can be Programed to kick in at diff rpms... but is it actually possible to turn it on and off with a switch/button????

You drive a turbo car and your knowledge is at best pathetic.Originally posted by HENG@:dun think so? MAYBE u can do that for a supercharger. doubt so for a turbo.
No you cannot do it for supercharger as it is belt driven. -
yes it's belt driven, but u're not thinking deep enough. it runs off the engine. If u could fit a a sort of clutch system between the supercharger itself and the engine so that a break can be created, instead of linking them directly via a single belt, then it IS possible. dun anyhow call others pathetic when you dun wanna think deeper.Originally posted by spec:You drive a turbo car and your knowledge is at best pathetic.

NOT in camp again? so good one ah NS nowadays.Originally posted by AE86tofu:dun care abt him la...u know it yrself tt u are studying engineering..... -
anyways u dunno about him, he might be an engineer also, it's just that he thought from a point of view about an existing mechanism instead of viewing from a design point of view.Originally posted by AE86tofu:dun care abt him la...u know it yrself tt u are studying engineering..... -

You always have to defend your mistakes. Who has ever run this sort of clutch system you mentioned? You might as well say, put in a bigger belt with an additional switchable gear pulley to lower the boost by pressing of a switch.Originally posted by HENG@:yes it's belt driven, but u're not thinking deep enough. it runs off the engine.

Think deeper? I think your 1st answer clearly shows you don't think hard enough or you simply just lack knowledge or BOTH. This is the truth whether you accept it a not. The 8000rpm thread is another clear example.
Do what you do best, joke and create limericks.

Actually on the neutral side of view here. Heng here is correct. The Toyota 4A-GZE engine is running a magnetic clutch supercharger unit (roots type) and the magnet of the clutch would engage when there is a change in the TPS position. If you were to hold the your throttle constant, the magnet will gradually dis-engage itself (free-spining). This is for fuel consumption reason as well as preventing an increased wear and tear by running the supercharger unit full-time.Originally posted by spec:You always have to defend your mistakes.

So it possible to actually do up a switch to engage magnetic clutch full-time or off it at your pleasure though I can't think of any good reason why would one want to do a switch to off it.
How I know? I used to drive one with the transplanted 4A-GZE. -
i guess u gotta go read more. read above post.Originally posted by spec:You always have to defend your mistakes. Who has ever run this sort of clutch system you mentioned?

wonder who's the one making the mistake here in e 1st place?
as for the 8000 rpm, that was just me remembering wrongly. hey everyone makes mistakes now and then and i did admit in that thread that i'd remembered wrongly. now lets see if u'll admit to your mistakes too. -
hmmm i agree, no reasons to switch it off really, because, if u have a forced induction engine, u will have a lower compression ratio, and that's gonna cause a pretty horrid lethargic feeling in the engine.Originally posted by JDM_Junkyard:Actually on the neutral side of view here.

hey prince not so bad wad. then u want me to call u the boi boi formerly known as prince? -
hehe, heng@it again
think supercharger need that sort of free play (on/off) coz the means of propulsion is permanently associated with the engine via a pulley. lots of wear and tear if it was "on" all the time.
i tot turbo can use the waste gate to constantly alter the amount of boost? ie, even to the point of no boost if the waste gate fully open? slap me if i'm wrong on this. i'm an idiot when it comes to turbos

ayoh u dun say again la. make me sound so bad lidat. -
To prevent a turbo from boosting, either adjust the wastegate duty or just take out the compressor bypass/dump valve. That's all there is to it.

and all i know is that turbos LAG if its big...sueprchargers are moer effective IMHO but mroe on the ex side....and tailslide....u seen the new integra??? quite gd leh...I kinda like it....
