holset variable geo. turbo

wrong picture, I have a better one someplace that shows the vanes moving....I think they came standard on some dodges a few years back....


Neat video.....time to stop off at 7-11 tonight for a Lotto ticket.......

The designers that "werked" on that flash project did a really good job. I wonder exactly how that VTG "werks".

OOO...MAN!!! i got chills when the new 911 was introduced!!!

Oh. Wait. It's all coming back to me now. For some reason I was thinking of some system where the vanes swiveled. Nevermind.

But thats an excellent pic. Your the best, Mueller.

There's some animation on it, and it looks like some kind of valve that rotates at different RPMs to get more boost at lower range while opening up more at higher RPMs.

here's one of two clips i copied....

and the 2nd:

ah i see how this VTG works...it's created to try to eliminate turbo lag. By creating a smaller circular chamber on the exhaust side to spool up the turbine quicker, and as RPMs increase the fins open up to take full advantage of the entire turbine.

The Gayman is much more beautiful, if not a little gay.. (hatchcrack)

The car is cool, but the wheels kinda look like they belong on an IROC-Z
