The Perfect Turbocharger? Porsche Did It First

The whiteboard's back! I think arguably electric turbos are up there as the best (like what's used in F1), but it's of course a much heavier solution, adding a large electric motor and battery to the mix. As a more mechanical solution, this seems pretty ideal; what do you think?

Turbos don’t suck, they blow the comp away! I’ll take a turbo over any charger. The right build coupled with the correct converter is hands down the best setup!

My f80 m3 is twin turbo and has no lag

You could get a variable vane turbo in a Shelby-Dodge CSX in 1989z

So, they just use variable guide vanes. I wonder if they got this idea from Gas Turbines.

You should see how Porsche created the variable intake manifold valves. It a very very brief description, they use valves inside the intake to circulate the throughout each of the cylinder’s. This creates a “turbo” effect.

It’s funny that you referred to the displacement of the Porsche engine and mentioned rounding down because of the 4 in 3.745L, but the 5 at the end rounds that 4 to a 5, which would instead round up to 3.8L. 😅

too much lubricant is always bad

not the first car with a variable turbine

Unauthorized use of a dad joke! Thats a felony!

vtec for turbos (lol)

If I had teachers like you, I would have gotten a masters degree

Hey i understand this is cool but didn’t dodge did this with the late 80s dodge Daytona known as VNT and VGT ?

Can you please compare VGT of BorgWarner and Cummins?

it was not the first audi had it before

Jet engines have been using this tech for years. Look up “Variable Stator Vanes”

You have resting dad face. How can you not have 2 boys and a girl

3.745 rounds to 3.75, which rounds to 3.8

I’m so glad you exist. Thank you.

Ayo I live where you filmed this more towards becon rock but that’s dope

amazing technology on the turbo

Actually chrysler used a variable turbo back in 1990 I believe with the dodge daytona Shelby vnt intercooled turbo. Called it variable nozzle turbo but it was adjusting the exhaust flow across the impeller as your describing. Love your videos great information

Kinda true in oem but when u go aftermarket with head work cams cam timming is on point u can lower timming numbers down low to make the turbo come on hard and fast no matter how big it is when everything is pared correctly lag should be almost not noticeable down gear and floor it
Oem stuff has many other challenges that make having the most ideal high flowing setup not really plausible in a fuel economy and noise point of view

Dodge shadow used vnt turbos a while before porsche

In 1989 Shelby used a Garrett VNT in the Shelby CSX making it the “first “

Can you make a video on the turbo charged V8 engines from Ferrari?
They have been award winning for their responsiveness and torque delivery.
How do they eliminate turbo lag?

I'm sure I'm not the first, but I found it!
10.5lbs of PM2000, for only 200$.

Dang, that's still kinda expensive.

Dad joke nirvana

Thats for the dads out there :D hilarious

"I'm not a father" bit 10/10 do it more

Meanwhile in F1: "We put an electric motor between the turbine and compressor so the turbo can be constantly angry"

And I have a upgraded Borg Warner turbo on my diesel Volkswagen 50+ miles per gallon all the time and fun and I got to them

I was just about to say my diesel Volkswagen has a turbo like that

size matters

Also Alfa Romeo Tonale in 160 CV gasoline engine version has VGT

An EV is faster than this Porsche. Get with the times.

So vtec turbo

Actually the first production cat to use a VNT was the Dodge SHADOW C/S (Carrol Shelby)
That had a VNT turbo, and a couple of other Production Dodge and Chrysler vehicles.
So I am surprised they made this claim.
Eitherway, another great detailed Video!☝️👍

Ford uses these VGT's as well and they have a lot of reliability problems. More complex == more things to break and fail.

Hey EE, study CHRYSLER'S Variable Nozzle Turbocharger.....from 1989 and 1990.

Blasphemy! Haha

The little 1.5 TSI engine in the VW Taos has VTG now

Excellent video as usual

YADA YADA YADA , TURBOS deliver the best bang for your buck ... yes you have to do a little homework to get power over the neutered OEM ... 300/4.9L ford is a fine example of OEM restrictive ports that respond well .

NA ❤️

"It's really clever."
OK, how reliable is it? You never talk about reliability.

Chrysler did it first in 1990 with the Shelby CSX and Daytona using a VNT turbo

That turbo reminds me of the swash plate used on helicopter blades. Pretty cool
