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.

Such an underrated channel, here's to 10k by the end of the year!

Dude, you filled in so mamy small details that had been perplexing me for so long! Other tutorial videos and articles gloss over so much. You manage to cover it all, in less than 15min! All those little missing details, so appreciated!

All that information in about 13 minutes, unbelievable. Thank you for the straight to the point information and congratulations the channel!

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

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!

This content is gold. High quality information, no crap, all functional and delivered in a clear and concise manner. Big +1 to this.

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 🙏💯

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!

Awesome explanation. I'm an engineer and followed this every step of the way. Very nice.

Wow... what a great video. I started gathering informations to get to do my first diy turbo project. This video is the light I needed for many questions I had. THANKS!

I'm trying to get around 650 wheel horsepower from my 2jz gte vvti, so I am looking for the correct turbocharger for my setup. It is going into my Volvo 940 which of all the cars is the one I love (driving) the most. 😁 Thanks for this video I will soon sit down and calculate if the turbo that I was gonna buy is the right thing for me. Cheers from The Netherlands!

Love the video, the equations make this much easier. I’m turbocharging a 2003 Lexus IS300 with the 2JZGE VVT-i engine. Sitting in front of a W55 5 speed for now, eventually swapping for a 6 speed CD009. It’ll be a street/drift build!

This was actually very helpful in finding out how big of a turbo I would need in some cars and some physics on how to get certain horsepower. You definitely need more recognition

Appreciate your content - exceptionally made and thank you very much for your efforts!!! Would love to see more! FYI: CALCULATION ADJUSTMENT: Die Volumetric Efficiency rate of your given values 95% should be added at respective 0.95 (not 95) --> or you have to calculate the result again with *100 which makes it more bulky.

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 . . .

My apologies for the ignorance, but I’m not able to get my final equation to work out… I DID PEMDAS 😂😂😂, I’m getting like .13…. Any help is appreciated

Great video, I've watched a lot of videos on selecting turbo size, this one was by far the easiest to understand!

I'm fixing to turbo my 2003 Ford focus zx3 . You just helped me a bunch with this video ! Thank you

8:47 Volume Efficiency is 0.95** when doing the formula :)

WOW. Thank you so much MZ!! I just learned something ill never forget, took mad notes as always, damn dude, cant thank you enough I'm doing R&D on my LF 2.0 Sonata to build it :)

I wanted to turbocharge a honda city s 2009 1.5l 119hp to 220hp I thought this was going to a normal confusing for me but you actually explained it enough to make me understand thx! Deserve a sub

Ive been involved in engineering turbochargers for over 55 years, basically race cars (Road Racing Porsche) drag boats (Big Blocks). This guy is giving you one on the best quick overviews I have ever heard. I have heard a lot of theory and this is close to a good start.😊

Instant follow. Holly smokes and I found this channel after finishing my 2.0 Stroker 20VT in a beloved VW MK1

Great informative vid! I think I've watched tons it turbo related vids now and definitely learned a whole lot in this vid about actually selecting the right type. Despite watching so many vids on this topic, I still have a hard time understanding how to set up the different gauges with the wiring, where to tap into what etc. Hoping you go into as much detail as you did with this vid when you get to that part of the build!

If this was school you’d be the cool teacher because you’re so easy to learn from. Just subbed 💯

Bruh, as an engineering student in my senior year... this video is how I wish my instructors taught each course. No beating around the bush, just absolute knowledge. *Chefs kiss* P.S. My turbo E30 sends its regards.

Hands down the best automotive channel I ever found wtf how does it only has 23k SUBS, it's more informative than donut media.

No BS straight to the point. No wasting time. but aimed at the avid enthusiast with a little more than average experience.

F 150 5.0 stock. 85 mm jet proformance throttle body. Pulling a 23 foot trailer. West coast to East coast. Up hills and mountians. What a great channel U have . Thank You.

Turbo Charging my RB25DET 240SX😅. This video was so helpful. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this is going to help me😊

Just ran across this video. Thank you. I am now enlightened (and picking a turbo for my car)

How do you only have 32k subs!? The KZfaq algo really needs to ‘turbo charge’ this channel…see what I did there😅 You are a gifted teacher, my friend. There world needs more of you! 🙏🏾

Looking to put a turbo on an old 2.7l diesel tractor to bump it up to around 60-70 hp at 2200 rpm. This was very helpful in helping select a turbo on such a one off vehicle.

After watching this I'm going to sit down with your video and a spreadsheet. I'm trying to turbo my 1.3L JB33 Jimny

Amazing!! I’m turbocharging an ex show car pulsar gti sedan, been thrown so many different turbos to use , now I can pick the best one!

Gonna be swapping a Peugeot xu10j4r/s in my 1983 Peugeot 505 and turboing it, so just Doing my research and getting an understanding on turbocharging and engine modifications

Turboing an 09 harley. This is exactly what I needed for the math side of things! Thanks

Im a beginner car enthusiast and im trying to get as much horse power out of a 2000 toyota corolla LE id LOVE all the help i can get. This video was very in depth and actually really easy to understand.

Finally a great video on how to pick your turbo!

I'm trying to turbocharge a 5.0L coyote, not sure on what I want to slap it on but for now it will be my project motor and this video definitely helped ❤️

I just wanted to leave here an appreciation message for all the work you do. You make the automotive space understandable for everyone. I deeply appreciate the way you explain things, using drawings and graphics to make sure the viewer knows what you are talking about, also you are able to make those math related videos entertaining. I wish you well and keep doing your best:)

This is the most educating car video ive seen ever, idk if you still read these but i watched this for a future idea. I don't have a license yet, but im building a 1982 Citroën 2CV. After thats done, my plan is to get a 7th gen Toyota Celica, and thats the one i wanna slap a turbo in

This is the single best turbo video I've came across on youtube. 10/10. I'm not a mechanic, but I am aiming for a 500hp+ 1jzgte build. This is going straight in the favourites. Thank you

This has got to be one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. It’s detailed and entertaining at the same time. I’m trying to turbocharge a 2012 Toyota Venza, yes I know, mid-life crisis.

Imma have watch this video like 10 times and take notes ; so much details. Thanks for the video.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up pleasantly surprised. Solid video.

Finally someone that teaches the technical stuff

Actually reached boost enlightenment watching this. Awesome video

the greatest thing is the miata has the same engine as my car so i have all the math done 😂😂 you’re amazing man. great channel. keep it up😤💪🏻

I feel I can go into a project confidently and will be accurate on it. Enough knowledge here, in detail,very short and straight to the point

Best explanation of how to size a turbo I've heard or read ever. I've seen several other KZfaqrs try to explain it and not get it this well executed. Maximum Boost's publisher should ask you to write the next book for them.

Im tyring to turbo my 09 civic si. Got everything I need from this video

Been wanting to turbocharge my 04 grand am with a 2.2. your channel has been a god send

This was an awesome explanation. You did a really a good job explaining the why.

94 RHD supra. NA. Pulling out the GE for GTE vvti. I'm dropping the twins and going single. Different watching this again as reference. Thanks. I've been a wrench for almost two decades. I guess I finally ready to build my own drivetrain.

not long not boring very informative easy start to understanding turbo chargers

By far the most helpful explanation so far. How would the math here change for a twin turbo setup?

This content is 24k gold....bravo dude....🙏

youre a really good teacher , what you teach is right and detailed , which is hard to find nowadays

This, and the video before this one, was an awesome video! I’ve been wanting to turbo my 05 Mustang GT, and this helped me a lot with where I need to start!

Good information from this video! Really helps with trying to figure out which turbo i need. Only thing i need to figure out now is how im gonna set it up. Trying to reach around 360hp with my Forester XT

Older video but always relevant- walked away from this video, cheers brother 🍻🤘

Bro thank you so much. For the last idk how long i have been racking my brain thinking "how is it possible for people to spit flames out of their down pipe. This just showed me that after 5ish years of learning about cars and engine and physics of everything, I had either not learned or had forgotten basic turbo anatomy. I feel dumb😅

This is the best explanation of turbocharger terminology I've seen on video. As for what I own that is turbocharged; a few Audi's, Beechraft aircraft, Ford Truck. What I might turbocharge in the future, Jeep and a Big-block Buick. Now where are the keys to the GNX???

Great stuff,thanks for the knowledge. Still helping ppl with this video today

I recently got into cars and am taking a class on maintenance and light repair, and I have always wanted to turbo my car but now I feel more confident that I won't have to ask a thousand questions.

Excellent Video! I'm going to be boosting a Chevy 250 Inline 6. It's been built with flat top Ross Pistons, lump ported head, Offenhouser intake and split manifold exhaust making 211 HP and 248 ft. lbs. of torque. My goal is 300 - 350 HP. Does this sound reasonable? My current compression ratio is 9.2:1. How do I determine how much boost my engine can handle before I damage anything? It'll be a street car with occasional trips to the track. I'm not sure how to apply all these amazing calculations at the moment. I'll have to watch your video a few more times. You're a turbo wizard! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Dont bite my head off, but my 2.0L dodge dart '16, road race went outta business so now im having to research as much as possible, and this...this was a font of knowledge

Brilliant explanation my friend,everything makes sense now with those calculations, before I did turbocharge with very low psi pressures for engine safety because I did not have the math to calculate the actual turbo speed lines. Now we are turbocharging a suzuki swift gti 1300cc, street circuit race car as we still race them in southamerica, when we live very far from real racing tracks. This year they change the rule book for this championship and they eliminated the 0 to 1300cc class that we used to race for many years , and put us into the 0 to 1650cc class with a minimum 970kg on the cars, wich is to much weight to add to an 750kg light car as ours. So the other option is to turbocharge the car and run the open class that has no limit on weight and we can even make the car a bit lighter and use full slick tires, I have a turbo kit that I had it from another suzuki engine with a Garrett AR 63 inlet turbine and a AR 60 compression wheel, but since it's being sitting around for many years I don't have the turbo lines graphics to check if is the proper one for this similar engine, we intend to get 250 crank hp and change the pistons because now we have 11,5 to 1 compression lower it to 8,5 to 1, I have MaxxECU so I can adjust for the turbo.I think the Turbo that you choose for the Miata it will work on mine as well ,the thing is that I still have to buy that one and I will like to find out if my Garrett it will be similar to that one before I do the purchase. Hopefully you have some experience with this Garrett turbo and can advise me on this set up.

I feel like a master tech at this point I learned it all with in 13 mins thank u btw I’m doing rear exhaust turbos on a 2014 c350 3.5 liter benz

1994 Ford Ranger 3.0l 183 Displacement .Target 300 hp. 13.92 Air pressure. 5000 Max RPM. No intercooler. 88 VE. According to your video. 2.83 PR. 33 mass flow. Could you verify? Your video is not boring. It's awesome.

Thank you. I just got the education I needed. Now I'll be able to get the correct Turbo. K20A2, K20 Head. Looking for 600-800Hp (depending on what the car will be doing.)

i dont even have a car but when i get my hands on one, i will watch this video again to get some help and calculate correctly. For now, im happy to understand better how choose the perfect turbo for my car, thank you so much

Hey man, just watched this twice now, I’m going to use that second turbocharger on my ‘23 Nissan Kicks. It runs only 122hp so I definitely need some serious power. Stay tuned!

And thank you so much for the effort to explain all of this I haven’t really found any KZfaqr that takes the time to break it down like that for those of us that know cars but don’t know in depth numbers like that

One thing is for sure, all that numbers look boring but necessary, but you have the way to make it look interesting.

I so love this video, watched it with my excel sheet in hand making my calculations for various HP figures

I’m currently trying to turbo my 05 scion xa. Thank you for the great videos your channel is amazing

Great job - Concise & Precise 👍💯% Biggest thing is volume levels & no distractions VW Golf MK4 Estate PD 1.9L using Volvo XC90R turbo 250ps 420NM 😁 More Smiles per Mile

Finally someone who knows how to explain turbo map selection, 4 ltr Aussie Barra 6 cyl

I genuinely am glad you made this I’m trying to turbo an 01 3.6 v6 mustang it’s a 5spd manual hard top bright red can’t wait to have it built I’ve got graphs drawn out and a turbo picked out already for it thanks to this vid keep the good content coming please

People doesn't want allogrimathic thing you know its so informative. I can't even bare these kind of information and i am almost quite the plan of installing the turbo in my car due to mathematical thing ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂... but you are sharing a bunch of information which people like me cant understand except some who has already information about turbos a bit...😂😂😂🎉🎉 great information thumbs up

I turboing a 2008 Yamaha road star warrior v-twin motorcycle. I appreciate the tech you put into your videos.

I'm looking to size twins for an Olds 455 in a 69 cutlass. this has been the most helpfull video i've come across yet

Watched quite a few videos on turbo compressor maps. Yours is without a doubt the best one. Thank you. And to answer your question - I am trying to pick the right turbo for my OM606 that will go into my Nissan Patrol Y61.

Bro i was expecting u to have millions of subscribers but u only have a few thousand... Underrated af

Wow thanks that's so kind hearted and comforting. Well you asked what it is one is turbo charging... I'd like to turbo charge a 1975 VW bug 1600cc single port. Hope I don't get no boo down. Thanks for the encouraging and "it can be done" video 👍🏾🙏🏾

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!

looking into a custom turbo setup for a 2013 dodge dart 2.4l mt this video helps alot now i look for a suitable turbo

MZ, I just stumbled upon your channel by chance. Oh my… you are one of the best thing out there on KZfaq for the car enthusiast community. 🙌🏾

This video is amazing, its going ot be so useful for me, im trying to plan a 700hp streetable Barra for my mustang and have been having a really hard time finding info on how to pick a turbo

this is just the second video i see and i already love you

I love this video! I am working on finding a larger turbo for my 2018 WRX with the 2.0 FA20F engine, but one that has the best balance possible between fast spool and power up to at least 8k. After watching your video, I FINALLY have a grasp on how to make some sense of compressor maps and use them as a guide to select my turbo!

I’m going to switch the turbo of my Z20LER Astra H and this video has been a save for me, as I’m pretty new to tuning, thanks a lot!

You lied... This video isn't long, nor is it at all boring. I've researched so much and here you go in 12 minutes just laying down all the math in plain english. I almost paid money for straight-forward information like this. Keep up the good work dude! ✌
