The longest race ever attempted by the IPG Race Team was a huge success. 6 Hours of road racing takes a toll on the car, drivers and crew but the IPG Team managed to run the entire race and actually finished in great position. The event was the annual PBOC Winterfest 6 Hour Enduro at Sebring Intl Raceway. (January 12th, 2012) A tough qualifying session put the team in the back of the pack in 42nd place to begin the race. But endurance racing isn't always about where you start, it is about consistency and reliability. Drivers Louis Murphy, Russell...

Courtesy of www.TurbobyGarrett.com Getting a little more complex here. Trim is a common term used when talking about or describing turbochargers. For example, you may hear someone say "I have a GT2871R 56 Trim turbocharger". What is 'Trim?' Trim is a term to express the relationship between the inducer* and exducer* of both turbine and compressor wheels. More accurately, it is an area ratio. * The inducer diameter is defined as the diameter where the air enters the wheel, whereas the exducer diameter is defined as the diameter where the air exits the wheel. Based on aerodynamics and air entry...

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....
