Introduction
Turbo-diesel refers to any diesel engine equipped with a turbocharger.
Turbo-diesels in automobiles offer a higher refinement levels than their naturally aspirated
counterparts.
In power boosting of engines, the application of conventional turbochargers could realize only a
limited improvement because it is effective in a narrow flow range.
One of the main handicaps of turbocharged diesel engines is their low dynamic response, in the
low speed range, compared with spark ignition ones.

Objective and Solution Options

Improving the dynamic performance of turbocharged diesel engine, by energy saving in the
turbocharger acceleration by engine performance modelling during transient operation with
individual exhaust configuration.
The possible solutions
Supplement the usual exhaust-driven turbo with another turbo driven by an electric motor.
Using variable-nozzle or twin-scroll turbochargers
Using a turbocharger spool valve to increase exhaust gas flow speed to the turbine.
AFE Intake
Exhaust Manifold Remodeling.
Our Solution Remodeling the existing exhaust system as an individual exhaust manifold in
collector configuration.
