6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
[1] TURBOCHARGER
A turbocharger consists basically of a centrifugal compressor mounted on a common shaft with a turbine driven
by exhaust gas. The compressor is usually located between the air cleaner and the intake manifold (or intercooler; if
equipped), while the turbine is located between the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
The prime job of the turbocharger is, by compressing the air, to force more air into the engine cylinders. This
allows the engine to efficiently burn more fuel, thereby producing more horsepower.
In applications where the boost pressure is relatively low, the turbocharger is capable of reducing the smoke
concentration, the concentration in the cylinder, fuel consumption, and deterioration in performance at elevated
terrain by increasing the amount of air into the engine cylinders.
In applications where the boost pressure is high, the turbocharger is capable of providing a large increase in
engine output by increasing the amount of air into the engine cylinders.
