Introduction In the world of internal combustion engines, turbochargers have become a popular method of increasing power and efficiency. This gas compressor, often referred to simply as a turbo, is a form of forced induction that forces air into the engine, resulting in more power for a given displacement. In this blog, we will explore the inner workings of turbochargers and their impact on engine performance. The Components of a Turbocharger At its most basic level, a turbocharger consists of three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft connecting the turbine and compressor wheels. The turbine is located on the hot side of the turbocharger and is bolted onto the engine's exhaust manifold. As the engine runs, the exhaust gases pass through the turbine, spinning a fan called the turbine wheel. This spinning motion converts heat and pressure into rotational force, which in turn spins the compressor whee...
More often than not, an engine comprises of various moving parts, each of which rubs against the opposite to make both, friction and warmth. In order for the parts to stay working seamlessly, it's essential that this friction is reduced, and any kind of overheating is avoided. This task is best done by oil, which keeps the engines well-lubricated and absorbs any excessive heat. Given that car oils are available in different types, as a car owner, it is in your best interest that you have a fair knowledge about them so that car maintenance becomes as effortless an exercise as possible for you. Premium Oil This is the conventional oil that is available in different levels of viscosity. This type of oil is largely used in light-duty vehicles, and needs to be changed/replaced once in every 4 months, or at least twice a year. It is highly recommended that the oil is changed as soon as the oil-change indicator in the car lights up....
