Hello, everyone and welcome!  As you can see I am here with Charles from HubbleMechanic (Hello) .com (.com)

And we're going to be talking about 5 ways to prepare your car for turbocharging, because Charles

and we are going to be bolting up a turbocharger to it.  Super pumped, should see about a hundred horsepower to the wheel increase

With the turbocharger yeah, so I have a question for you charles

We're going to we're about five different things in order to you know get your car properly turbocharged, right?

What's probably the first thing you need if you want to turbo charge your car, so after you [have] your car, okay?

You got a car the next thing you need of course is....a turbocharger

[you] would need a turbocharger or it is really hard to boost your car with a

Turbocharger if you don't have a turbocharger, and so you've got this as a kit. Yeah, right this came all [as] a kit

This is a Garrett t3 T4 turbocharger which means it's a hybrid so the compressor inside is different than the exhaust side

okay, cool, [and] this would be quite a bit bigger than

Most most oem gas small engine turbocharged cars

And how much pressure are you looking to put in your 2.8 will probably be running?

About 10 PSI of boost so it's going to be low boost levels. I want this to be

I'm not trying to push it to the max of this or the max of the engine

That's what [Volkswagen] is known for pushing it to the max.

glad we got all those out. pew pew pew pew

It's the gangster wheel what about [when] I'm not that gangster you can work out. Maybe this one

The Charles what's next on the list so next up on the list is going [to] be upgrading fuel components in most cases?

The stock fuel components meaning fuel pump and tank

[high] pressure pump if it has one and fuel injectors are probably not enough to deliver the extra

Quantity of fuel that your engine's going to need we're pushing more air into the cylinder

And we need to back that up with fuel. Right, more power you need more fuel.

the oem are probably going to have something capable for you know maximum power obviously and then a

Rich Air fuel mixture if needed, but not much more than that

so you need to be able to have more flow and that's what these will do for you as well as the

[inline] fuel pump now the other thing worth mentioning about fuel is if you're going to be turbo charging your car clearly you know you're

Putting some money into it you might as well

use the best fuel out there you can buy the highest octane you can buy and reason being is because

So get good fuel in it get a higher octane fuel so you don't have to worry so much about pre-ignition or knock occurring

Common to have in these kind of situations--- right and some of this may be a little bit overkill for me and the amount of boost that I'm running

Do a little bit more than I absolutely need you know you might be able to run on stock injector stock fuel pump

But the last point you want to run out of fuel

Delivery is at the highest boost level right and then your lean and then all of a sudden you're getting pre-ignition

way big way bigger problems. They are problems like holes in pistons

Because of pew pew. Because of actually not bew bew more like beeeeww...bewwwww

The third thing we're going to need when we're adding a turbocharger [on] to our car is proper engine management

So the Ecm [and] monitoring, and we need a way [to] monitor will talk about the monitoring in a second

have a computer that can compensate for this increase in air and this fuel demand simply putting new injectors in it is not going to

Get it done in fact it'll probably in some ways make your car run worse on an old car [like] mine

It is actually a chip that gets installed. So you've heard people talk about chipping their car

That one literally is a chip if the car's more modern usually it just comes in the form of an Ecm tuned

do this like adding a ground wire is a really common [thing] or simply plugging into the [obd] and

Changing the mapping and letting the computer know that you are now going [to] be

Increasing [airflow] of course then [that] needs to increase fuel change timing perhaps it really depends on how much boost you're going to be

asking [for] from the turbocharger and in certain situations

You're potentially electrically controlling boost as well

So we need to have a computer that can compensate for all that stuff. Okay and so on the monitoring end

you're going to be looking at exhaust gas temperatures and

Wideband O2 sensor for your Air fuel ratio right right depending on how you're doing it

You know a lot of these things a lot of these

Turbocharger setups come as kit so it's going to come [with] a tune or may come with a whole new engine computer

That does make it quite a bit easier, but even though the Ecm is going to be tuned for it

we still want to keep an eye and make sure that we're not running too lean or our timings not way off or

When we haven't developed some kind of problem like a boost leak like a failing injector

So that we don't run the risk of doing damage to the engine the great thing about cars that come

Turbocharged [is] all those safety measures [are] [built-in] yup and good kits will have those safety measures, too

But monitoring exhaust gas temperature and really more importantly monitoring air fuel with a wideband o2 that's the key is a wideband

Is vital to make sure that you don't do catastrophic engine damage now charles [a] tool

I have found helpful over the years in explaining on how stuff works. [I] didn't know this was coming

Is this white board and so what I wanted to mention?

We're going to get the reflections out there we go

We go to the things basically you want to keep it safe and in order to keep it safe

You want to start with a really rich mixture because that reduces the chance of knock so you start rich and then you start leaning

Out that mixture while you're tuning it and eventually you know your power is going to keep increasing and then eventually that power is going

To start to drop and once it starts to drop you go back to where it wasn't dropping

You can get peak power or you can stay a little bit safe and go left of that

Same thing with timing so you're going to start with heavily retarded timing. That's safer

You're not going to run into knock issues or pre-ignition issues

And then you slightly advance that time you keep advancing it you'll start to get to a point. Where you reach peak power

You don't want to get into a point where you start to get knock

But basically you would you advance it as much as you can based on the fuel that you have

The other parameters of your engine that allow [for] that and then you can reach a peak power

But basically if you want to be as safe as possible

You keep it really rich you keep the timing retarded and then you play with that in order [to] you know have a car

But still reliable and I think it's really important to mention that this kind of tuning is

Usually best done on a Dyno to eliminate all of [the] other variables that would happen and not only it's a thousand times safer

But to eliminate all that stuff that could [potentially] happen if you did it in the back Street

Moving on to number four we're going to talk about cooling. So we've got three [different] things

We're going to talk [about] here our air. Yeah, oil. Yes, and water-ish right

We'll call it coolant. We'll call it water ethylene glycol. We'll call it coolant. Coolant G 13++ in this case

Yeah, so we are going to be putting more air

We want to you know one really common thing on most factory turbocharged cars. Is they have a charge cooler whether

That's air to air like this one or air to water like some other ones

Adding you know adding an intercooler or charge Cooler is not
