Turbo Charger Working Of Turbo Charger In Car Helpful Information To help regulate the air intake pressure a device called a waste-gate is designed to release boost at a measured pressure point which limits the amount of boost the engine receives, if the engine receives too much boost it can cause internal engine failure. Easy guide on how an automotive turbo charger works, this information pertains to all turbo charged engines. A turbo charger utilizes the expanding gases due to heat and pressure from the exhaust system to spin an impeller at a high rate, in turn turning an intake impeller pressurizing the air intake system of the engine. Turbo Charger Cutaway The turbo intake system brings air in through the intercooler which is connected to the air cleaner, once the air charge is pressurized its moved into the intake system increasing the power of the engine.

Ecoboost Explanation Know About Ecoboost/ Turbocharger Ecoboost is the name given to a group of turbocharged and direct injected engines made by Ford Motor Company. This family of engines is distributed all over the world and in a wide variety of vehicles. The engines equipped with Ecoboost give more power and more torque to keep up with larger displacement engines, even though they use less fuel and produce less greenhouse gas. Originally launched in 2009 Ecoboost has proven itself to be a reliable and effective way of getting maximum efficiency of fuel without the need of an expensive hybrid system. The way it works exactly is the engines have forced induction and direct injection. Since there are many Ecoboost engines we are going to focus on one in particular, the 3.5L V6 that is put into the Ford F-150. Let's first start off with the forced induction, while sounding complicated; the technology was originally patented in 1905. In reality it is just a fancy way of saying...
