your channel is so underrated, you dont only explain turbochargers in detail but display graphics to better understand them in detail i havent seen anywhere else on youtube, i really wish you the best man and thank you

By far one of the most informative turbo videos I've seen. I'm looking to upgrade my 2004 Honda Civic with a custom turbo setup, and I learned more in these 13 minutes than all of the hours and hours I've spent scouring the internet for information.

O.K. 25 years ago I bought a book and read through it and for me it took some time, this guy explains it so quickly and accurately, he did skip the exhaust housing size, but they are easy to swap, one of my cars I went from a 0.86 to a 1.02 A/R and gained a lot top end and lost very little at lower RPM. Current build is a N54. I'm a full time dyno tuner and a mechanic for 37 years and this was a great refresher

Never understood compressor maps from any other YT explanation.
You are a gifted teacher.
Went through the math with you (using my numbers) and can't thank you enough.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

I just want to share my personal lesson learned from sizing a turbo using this exact method - which resulted in lazy/laggy setup for street driving. I learned that you don’t need peak compressor efficiency at max RPM. It’s actually okay to be tapering off to the choke point at max RPM in a street application, which is what most factory turbocharged cars do. It is better to optimize peak compressor efficiency for the RPM range where you want to make power. With that in mind I would do the calculation at various engine RPM levels and compare the plot - looking for max efficiency at, for example, 5k RPM. It’s a good sanity check to plot the max RPM too, but not the number I’d care the most about.

I just found you recently and I know that I’m late to the party, but your videos are amazing. Short and straight to the point. I’m interested in trying to turbo charge my 2011 Lancer ES as my first project car.

An underrated informative channel if i may say so myself . . . I learned something new about turbochargers . . . Keep it up, and I'll keep watching for sure . . .

I just want to say your channel has seriously helped my knowledge of vehicles!!! Honestly dude you are my favorite content creator and I can confidently say you might be the best out there!

[shinowhitlock]

It's just so easy to listen to you, theirs no BS, it's just stuff I need to learn. Thanks man. I'll be watching your videos from now on for my studies!

[Chris-bnbn]

Dude, anything that educates a true power enthusiast truly enjoyed your condensed video. The only thing I regret is that it ended! I'm subscribing, keep up the great work!

You're an absolute LEGEND for posting this type of information and making it so easy to understand. My brothers and I recently picked up a Z32 twin turbo and we plan on converting to single turbo for power numbers around 550-600whp. Now I can figure out exactly what turbo would be best for our goals with this car. Thanks bro :')

Keep up the good content!

[nitrospann]

I love the way you put stuff into detail, I was studying how to choose the right turbo to make my rb25 hit 350hp to 400hp

[TheChikyChiky]

I really do appreciate this video. While I may never build a turbo engine, I had often wondered what went into picking specifications.

[flamingviper]

I’m trying to turbocharge my 02 rsx type s and your video has made it more clear for me to choose a turbo, I also want to learn how to tune as a dream job! Thanks so much for these well informed videos 🙏💯

[conmantheoriginal]

Thanks this was really helpful for understanding turbos and how to choose one, im gonna try to turbo a nissan 1996 pick up with a KA24E the Brother of the KA24DE

[jasii]

Amazing video, this helped me learn tons about which turbo I will need to use on my G37 coupe street build, ill keep coming back to this video just to make sure I get the right one in the near future!

Just showed up in my feed. Saw the video, instant sub. Great and simple video of a topic often left behind. Greetings all the way from Argentina!
