CNN tells us about turbos.
 

I find their commentary and knowledge to be overwhelmingly good.


F1 goes back to the future: Return of the turbo-charged 'teapot' - CNN.com

Is there anything left to misrepresent after that article was done? I lol'd@100kg of fuel.

Close enough. :dealwithit:

I want some of these power belts she talks about.

NAILED IT

:dealwithit:

my turbo has it's own exhaust.

I'm having second thoughts about turboing my Miata now. I don't want to make it heavier so I better just stick to NA.

yeah and the weight of the car makes it much bigger.

But turbo makes you grip at steep angles better.

yeah, and that might shred tires.

Well it's either power from exhaust steam, or power from belts. You pick. I've made my decision and i'm all about the steam, baby.

Sounds like the turbo engine will lose that driveshaft belt....haha

No wonder water injection makes more power, it creates more steam!!

Finally found a new sig.

So it was true all along!

Isnt that partly true though. Obviously there is the octane boost/detonation prevention, but I also read water injection makes a turbo spool faster, something about adding mass to the xhaust stream or something like that.
