Is a hybrid turbo better than a normal turbo?

Is a hybrid turbo better than a normal turbo?

Firstly, you are making the turbo work harder/spin faster to make that extra pressure. The turbine is rated to rotate at a maximum reliable speed. A hybrid turbo, if designed properly, will allow the extra flow and pressure to be achieved at a safe and reliable turbine speed and at higher compressor efficiencies.

Is a hybrid turbo worth it?

So why go for a hybrid turbo? The answer is simpleā€¦ best performance with maintained reliability. The whole point of a hybrid is that it is designed to produce a greater mass of air at the same speed (boost pressure) and therefore you can add more fuel and get more power without increasing the speed of the turbine.

Can you put a turbo in a hybrid?

Yes, it is possible to put a turbo on a hybrid. Theoretically, it should not affect the hybrid in a too negative way. A turbo will increase some pollution, true, but with more torque coming from the petrol engine, it is possible to charge the battery quicker. Good configuration will be required though.

How much HP does a hybrid turbo add?

A turbocharger works with the exhaust system and can potentially give you gains of 70-150 horsepower. A supercharger is connected directly to the engine intake and could provide an extra 50-100 horsepower.

Do I need a remap for a hybrid turbo?

Yep you will need it remapped again to see any gains from the new turbo.

What is the difference between a turbo and a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbocharger is an electric turbocharger consisting of a high speed turbine-generator and a high speed electric air compressor. This design flexibility leads to further improvements in turbine and compressor efficiency, beyond a conventional turbocharger.

Does a hybrid turbo need to be mapped?

Can you remap hybrids?

Sophisticated computer systems control the electric aspect of a hybrid vehicle. Installing a small microchip that overrides the current settings would, in theory, make the car faster. This is the same process as remapping an ECU, adjusting the settings to improve power output.

What does a hybrid turbo do?

A hybrid turbocharger is an electric turbocharger consisting of a high speed turbine-generator and a high speed electric air compressor. The electrical motors run at speeds in excess of 120,000 rpm and when used as generators, generate electricity at up to 98.5% electrical efficiency.
