One main stay at IPG since the inception of the company is the 1992 Honda Civic VX Turbo B Series Race Car. Owned since 2002 and a dedicated race car since 2005 this car has won numerous events, a championship and gone through quite a few different setups. Always staying the path of a B Series Turbo powerplant but various Turbochargers and Transmissions have been mated depending on the event or class of the moment. Most recently the car was setup for the True Street category with a Borg Warner 67mm Turbo on it and a GForce transmission where it...

Courtesy of www.TurbobyGarrett.com On the exhaust side, a Wastegate provides us a means to control the boost pressure of the engine. Some commercial diesel applications do not use Wastegates at all. This type of system is called a free-floating turbocharger. However, the vast majority of gasoline performance applications require a Wastegate. There are two (2) configurations of Wastegates, internal or external. Both internal and external Wastegates provide a means to bypass exhaust flow from the turbine wheel. Bypassing this energy (e.g. exhaust flow) reduces the power driving the turbine wheel to match the power required for a given boost level....

The journal bearing has long been the brawn of the turbocharger, however a ball-bearing cartridge is now an affordable technology advancement that provides significant performance improvements to the turbocharger. Ball bearing innovation began as a result of work with the Garrett Motorsports group for several racing series where it received the term the ‘cartridge ball bearing’. The cartridge is a single sleeve system that contains a set of angular contact ball bearings on either end, whereas the traditional bearing system contains a set of journal bearings and a thrust bearing Journal Bearings Ball Bearings Turbo Response –...

HKS has released a GTII Series turbocharger upgrade for the Mitsubishi Evolution X, the GTII 7460. The special cast turbine and compressor housings of the HKS GTII 7460 allows it to be a true bolt-on upgrade for the Mitsubishi Evolution X by utilizing the OEM exhaust manifold. The HKS GTII 7460 is a twin scroll turbocharger allowing a shorter and straighter exhaust path to the turbine wheel while delivering the benefits of less restriction and increased boost response. This allows full spool and stable boost pressure throughout the RPM range. Intake and exhaust port designs optimize the flow area to...
