The truth about turbos By Bohr Contributing Editor A Track are hot in more ways thin one With gasoline in ample supply and prices stable new car buy ers have been looking less at high fuel economy and more it high perfor ma nee Automakers have nothing agilnst V8s hut if they sell too many big engines the federal government slips them with gas guzzler taxes Automakers turned to turbos In an attempt to both satisfy ear buyers mands for performance and fuel efficient cars The boost of a lur bo added to a or fi cylinder engine provides some of the V8 s pep without Its thirst An engines power come from burning a mixture of fuel and air The more of this mixture that can be picked Into the engine chambers the more power the engine will produce The engine has a turbine thai In the system Exhaust gises whoosh out from the engine and spin the turbine The spinning turbine Is ittarhcd to a compressor that squeezes the fuel mixture and fortes il i chambers Because it is in hi I gases a lurbo operates at very high temperatures I degrees II also spins at astronomically high rotational speeds rcvu per minute stem to last more than or miles before they expire from working under such difficult conditions One admits that turbos should be considered consumable components like brake pads or spark plugs al belt expensive A to bill to replace a tired lurbo I unusual Proper is critical in out the maximum life of a lur bo oil and filters should be changed twice as often is they would be on a ear without a The fuel system and ignition be kept correctly adjusted if not ex haust temperatures can become too high and harm Ihe turbo Turbos cm dusty air so frequent or replacement air filters is necessary Driving technique can also prolong a turbo life It takes i few moments for oil to reach i turbos internal so the engine should never be raced Immediately after starling Be f ire you shut the engine off it s good to let it idle f r several seconds while the turbine spins down All this fuss tan be tiresome and it safe bet thai many owners of cars don l bother with it Thit an important point lor used ear shoppers lo remember as older ears come on the mar in greitcr numbers II you buy a turbocharged tir with miles or so on Ihe speedometer you d better figure new turbo into your budget Compared lo a a small turbo- charged engine has another draw back Wl en you pul the pedal to the metal in a car with a big engine you get instant response Bui with a turbo charged engine there a moment of hesitation before the turbo kicks In have yet to effectively eliminate this lag Turbochargers arc i clever way lo put more punch Into a small engine But with all the problems auto mikers ardor for turbos is beginning lo cool Other technologies that in crease power including engines with four valves per cylinder will probably displace in the future For now if you really more ponies under the hood without compll and are willing to bear higher fuel costs skip the lurbo and
