Thread: VNT Turbo Setup??

Guys, take it to thread on drag or aerodynamics. I would rather we get back to VNT tuning.

ok if it takes 20KG of force to move the wing though the air to generate 15KG of lift then there must be 5kg of drag.

what has this got to do with VNT turbos, well quite a lot.

a std turbo translates LIFT into rotation. same thing difrent aplication.

A VNT turbo can modify its lift from a lot to little.

so low lift = low drag, therrefore needs high speed ( gas) to make rotation

so high lift= high drag, therefore for the same rotation it needs slower
speed ( GAS)

sa gas speed increases so will rotation untill and at some point more drag is being produced than rotation.

VNT can change the angle of atack of its wing to reduce lift and drag. but since drag is reduced gas speed in incresed compensating for the loss of lift.

Are we off wings and back onto VNT tuning yet?

Things are a bit quiet on the Irish front, still in recovery from 17 Mar!

Yeah, I'm hoping Mike is far far away from a computer enjoying himself

what do you think are inside a VNT turbo. Hamsters??

Vanes, not wings. They are there to direct flow (create more/less swirl), not create lift.

BBQ hamsters??

I think there is a turbine and some vanes to direct flow or as Bush 65 says, to reduce the cross sectional area to increase pressure and heat. The turbine takes energy from the gas flow, transmits it via a spindle/shaft to the compressor.

Some magic occurs and then you replace the hamsters and you're ready to go again.
