HKS Turbocharger Kit

HKS USA launches the first of its proprietary HKS GTII series turbocharger kits for the EVO IV through IX, incorporating a reverse-rotation turbine design with an Inconel wheel. The HKS GTII 7460R's twin scroll, reverse-rotation design allows for a shorter and straighter exhaust path to the turbine wheel, delivering the benefits of less restriction and increased boost response, while the ball-bearing center housing allows for a quicker spool and stable boost pressure throughout the rpm range.

Turbochargers

When people talk about race cars or high-performance sports cars, the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine's horsepower without significantly increasing its weight, which is the huge benefit that makes turbos so popular!
In this article, we'll learn how a turbocharger increases the power output of an engine while surviving extreme operating conditions. We'll also learn how wastegates, ceramic turbine blades and ball bearings help turbochargers do their job even better. Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They compress the air flowing into the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine.

In order to achieve this boost, the turbocharger uses the exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn spins an air pump.
