  2. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    Inside the wastegate actuator, a spring acts to open the wastegate, and oil pressure acts to close the wastegate. On the oil output side of the wastegate actuator sits the density controller, an air-controlled oil valve which senses upper deck pressure and controls how fast oil can bleed from the wastegate actuator back to the engine. As the ...

  3. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    Wastegate - many turbochargers are capable of producing boost pressures in some circumstances that are higher than the engine can safely withstand, therefore a wastegate is often used to limit the amount of exhaust gases that enters the turbine; Blowoff valve - to prevent compressor stall when the throttle is closed

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    Hiereth et al. [48] show operating lines for various applications such as a full-load operating line for a passenger car engine, the effect of an uncontrolled turbocharger on a truck diesel engine and wastegate control on passenger diesel and gasoline engines, and the effect of altitude on a compressor operating line.

  5. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.

  6. GM L3B engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_L3B_engine

    The BorgWarner developed turbo can produce up to 27 psi (1.9 bar) of boost thanks in part to its unique dual volute turbine housing and an electrically actuated wastegate. Instead of two side-by-side exhaust passages like on a regular twin-scroll turbocharger , in this design the two exhaust passages are concentric and allow for better use of ...

  7. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    This design has a lower flow rate compared to VNT types so a wastegate may be incorporated with this design. [5] VGTs may be controlled by a membrane vacuum actuator, electric servo, 3-phase electric actuation, hydraulic actuator, or pneumatic actuator using air brake pressure. Unlike fixed-geometry turbines, VGTs do not require a wastegate. [6]

  8. Pontiac 301 Turbo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_301_Turbo

    The Pontiac 301 Turbo is an engine that Pontiac produced for the 1980 and 1981 Trans Am.It was a V8 engine with a displacement of 301 cubic inch which produced an officially factory rated 210 hp (157 kW) and 345 lb⋅ft (468 N⋅m) of torque in 1980.

  9. Howmet TX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howmet_TX

    The wastegate was designed to eliminate the lag between the driver pressing the accelerator and the turbine increasing its revolutions. Once the turbine was at its maximum revolutions, the wastegate helped regulate the flow of hot gas from the core to the power-turbine, thus increasing or decreasing the power output to the gearbox far quicker ...
