Abstract

Turbocharger is a turbine driven air compressor and forced induction device powered by
exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine. A turbocharger consists of two chambers
connected by center housing. The two chambers contain a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel
connected by a shaft which passes through the center housing. The response of the turbine to the
engine exhaust, dictates the response of the compressor and thus the engine air inlet. Turbocharger
response time (also known as turbo lag), is directly related to the size of the turbine and compressor
wheels. Small wheels accelerate rapidly; large wheels accelerate slowly. While small wheels
would seem to have an advantage over larger ones, they may not have enough airflow capacity for
an engine. So, to minimize turbo lag, the intake and exhaust breathing capacities of an engine must
be matched to the exhaust and intake airflow capabilities of the turbocharger.

For this project, a turbocharge system has to be designed and manufactured to fit an existing
gasoline engine. Students must have taken the Internal Combustion Engine Course and have a strong
background in thermodynamic & fluids. The students must show experimentally and numerically the
advantages of using a small turbocharger in terms of the following: Turbochargers deliver more power
output and a greater torque, which in turns improve their vehicle performance on the road. And main
Components of Turbocharge design system is: Turbine, compressor and connecting shaft Optional
requirements: Intercooling

 Chapter 1: Introduction

Project definition

How can turbocharge effect on the car engine? No one can deny that the turbocharge plays a big part
in engines world. First of all, turbocharge is a turbine driven air compressor and forced induction device
powered by exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine. As a matter of fact, we all known how the
engines saving and providing a time for a humanity also, doing a thing that hard and exact for human to
reach it for example, manufacturing, drilling, and production. However, one of the important engines in our
life is car engine which, can divided into many types depends on the engine capacity known by (CC) they
also give it another name defined by engine displacement. In addition, it depends on the number of
cylinders, piston and a lot of parts that could show which one to choose between them. Moreover, the
strength and type of these characteristics are also determined by their ability to modify and supply the
addition of the turbocharger.

On the other hand, in our senior project we chose one of many types of engines, which is a V8 car
engine. To demonstrate clearly, in this project we are going to add a turbo charge for the engine that we
chose, to improve the performance of the engine and obtain a high efficiency.

Objectives

The main objectives that we are looking for in this project are to:

 Increase engine performance and efficiency by installing a turbocharger

 Improve combustion with increased air delivery to the engine by the turbocharger
 Change the exhaust system
 Design the turbocharge system: Turbine, compressor and connecting shaft
 Quantify engine performance before and after the turbocharger

 Project specifications

When gas turbine is used to boost the pressure of air which is to be supplied to the engine, it is known
as Turbocharger. Kinetic energy of exhaust gases from the engine empowers Turbochargers. In simple
terminology, it can be termed as an air pump which is the form of the forced induction. It consists of a gas
turbine which is coupled to a compressor. At same shaft both are keyed. Compressor operates according to
the rotation of turbine. On gas turbine exhaust gases from the engine fall. Turbine rotates and initiates the
compressor. Air is compressed in compressor to be fed in the engine. If it’s petrol engine then it’s air, else
air-fuel as per diesel engine. Pressure of air or air-fuel mixture becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.
Output power of the engine is associated with increase in pressure fuels. In adverse situations smooth
operation of engine is smooth due to increase in pressure. Its working comprises of four steps i.e. Capture,
Spin, Vent and Compress. It can be divided into following parts:

1) Turbine Discharge
2) Compressor Discharge
3) Charge Air Cooler
4) Intake Valve
5) Turbine Inlet
6) Compressor Inlet
7) Exhaust Valve

Applications

The demand of the project is the Turbocharger which can work in congruence with already existing
gasoline engine. Usage of Turbocharger must be defended by students by high lightening its benefits such
as:

 Volumetric Efficiency of engine can be increased by it.

 Produced Out power can be increased.
 It takes less input of fuel or air-fuel mixture.
 In various adverse situations, it allows the engine to work smoothly.

 2 Chapter 2: Literature Review

Project Background

Zhang says “Transportation framework speaks to 20% to 25% of the CO2 in the environment and
this offer tends to increment. Enhancing the proficiency of vehicle inner burning motor power frameworks
assumes a basic part in the usage of worldwide vitality preservation and condition security techniques.
Turbocharging innovation is today considered as a promising route for motor vitality sparing and CO2
diminishment. Significantly more noteworthy accentuation of turbocharging innovation is being set on
scaling down the motors to expanding efficiency and decreasing CO2 outflows. Progressed turbocharging
innovation may decrease the motor dislodging volume while keeping a similar execution regarding torque
and power contrasted with the underlying bigger motor, and at the same time guarantee a change in motor
effectiveness. Amid the most recent couple of years, a few auto creators have introduced 1.8– 2.0 L
turbocharged motors. The exhibitions of these turbocharged motors are commonly like those of normally
suctioned motors with 2.5 L relocation. The lessening of fuel utilization is normally over 10%, with running
conditions nearer to the best proficiency territory. The turbocharging for the scaled back motor could
likewise reduce the grating misfortune. Motor turbocharging is the mix of an interior burning motor and a
turbocharger. A turbocharger configuration is a noteworthy test for motor execution change. Amid the
conventional motor advancement process, the turbocharger is chosen from accessible item records in light
of the trademark maps. The picked turbocharger is one of the arrangement items by the part provider, which
is outlined and created by the turbo-hardware specialists, and there is an absence of thought of motor task
conditions, particularly at the off-plan conditions. Turbocharger configuration ought to be a coordinated
method including changing the turbocharger qualities into determination of the motor execution to fulfill
the motor task necessities. The task of a turbocharger is on a very basic level unique in relation to that of a
responding motor, so a turbocharged motor has numerous unpredictable qualities. The turbocharged motor
execution is resolved in substantial part by the procedures collaboration amid activity of the turbocharger
and the motor, particularly at off-outline tasks. It might well be important to enhance the execution of the
mix by turbocharger plan and motor cycle advancements in the meantime, to incorporate new
contemplations, streamlining turbocharger outline and motor framework combination, with the thought of
general task execution.

12
 To encourage the turbocharger originator to proficiently produce the most appropriate outline, the
reason for this exploration is to set up another incorporated plan technique taking into air conditioning
include motor cycle necessities the turbocharger improvement process as quickly as time permits. The
turbocharger is coordinately planned based on motor cycle advancement and this outline will enhance motor
over execution. A 1.8 L fuel motor turbocharger was utilized as a case to represent the improvement of this
approach turbocharger through stream display, the geometry and the execution information will be moved
into the motor model for cycle execution reenactment. In light of a particular arrangement of motor
necessities, the approach will recognize conceivable turbocharger configuration yield parameter esteems
that can meet these prerequisites. An enhancing task methodology is then utilized to create plausible plan
choices, and after that the focused-on motor arranged turbocharger will be acquired”. [1]

 Previous Work and Comparative studies

John F. Schweikert and John H. Johnson says “Turbocharging, notwithstanding expanding a motor's
energy yield, can be adequately used to keep up deplete discharge levels while enhancing efficiency. This
paper displays the discharge and execution comes about acquired from a turbo charged multi cylinder start
motor with warm reactors and fumes gas distribution (EGR) worked at consistent state, part load conditions
for four motor rates. When contrasting a turbocharged motor with a bigger dis arrangement normally
suctioned motor of equivalent power output, the outflows communicated in grams per mile were moderately
unaltered both with and without EGR. Be that as it may, turbo charging gave a normal of 20% change in
mileage both with and without EGR. When contrasting the turbocharged and non-turbocharged forms of a
similar motor without EGR at a given load and speed, turbocharging expanded the hydrocarbon (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emanations and diminished oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emanations. With the
expansion of EGR, turbocharging expanded every one of the three discharges. When looking at
turbocharged and non-turbocharged motors of equivalent removal on the overwhelming obligation 133- -
mmooddee dynamometer cycle, turbocharging decreased CO discharges also, expanded the HC and NOx
discharges both with and without ERG great potential for decreasing discharges. Thomas (5) detailed on
the discharge attributes of a Volkswagen retrofitted with a turbocharger unit. The turbocharger
establishment appeared a slight decrease in discharges, in spite of the fact that whether this was expected
to the turbocharger or a distinction in carburetor change is obscure. The adjustments in street execution
contrasted with the stock vehicle were emotional. For instance, the turbocharger lessened the 50-80 mph
hanging loose from 30 to 20 s, however mileage under street stack conditions remained un-changed.
Turbocharging can likewise be utilized adequately to decrease vehicle fumes discharges from bigger
traveler autos or trucks It would permit an extensive relocation normally suctioned SI motor (400-450 in3
to be supplanted by a little uprooting turbocharged SI motor (300 inpro3duci)ng approach most extreme
control yield”. [2]

Also, Hiroyuki Sugihara, Yuzo Aoyagi, Shin Endo, Tetsuya Otani, and lsao Joko states that “The optimum
air quantity for minimizing BSFC was studied experimentally on heavy duty diesel engine under the
restrictive conditions of NOx emission, exhaust smoke and Pmax. Also, the performance characteristics of
the waste gate control turbocharging, variable geomeuy turbocharging, sequential turbocharging and two-
stage turbocharging were discussed.

The following conclusion have been obtained:

1) In the low engine speed range where the air quantity is insufficient, when the air quantity
is increased, Pmax does not increase due to retardation of injection timing while the smoke
concentration and BSFC can be reduced substantially. It is therefore advisable to maximize
the air quantity as far as possible. The methods to increase the air quantity in the low engine
speed will be the waste gate control turbocharging, the variable geometry turbocharging
(VGT), the sequential turbocharging and the two-stage turbocharging. As practical
methods, the waste gate turbocharging and VGT were compared with the conventional
turbocharging. The waste gate control turbocharging and VGT increase the air quantity in
the low engine speed over that of the conventional turbocharging. They are the effective
methods for torque recovery in the low engine speed.

2) In the middle and high engine speed ranges, when the air quantity is increased, the smoke
concentration and BSFC tend to decrease but its reduction effect is rather insignificant.
Over the air excess ratio 2 in the high engine speed range where the air quantity is
sufficient, the efficiencies of combustion and gas exchange work cannot be improved even
if the air quantity is increased. Moreover, BSFC tends to be worsened by an increase in
friction due to the increase of Pmax. Under the present technical limitations, the target
value of air excess ratio is around 2. It is therefore important to optimize the air quantity
while taking account of the smoke concentration, BSFC requirement and Pmax limit in the
middle and high engine speed ranges”. [3]

Design Constraints

In Saudi Arabia students usually faced a problem which is the lack of parts in the available markets
which is required in the projects. So, due to that, we could not be able to manufacture the turbocharger
itself. Also, our point of view is to keep the body of the car original. So, we faced a problem with the
location of turbocharger itself. It took from us some time trying to figure out the best location we can install
the turbocharger so based on that we can manage our design. Moreover, the same thing repeated in the
intercooler pipes as we want to do not cut and weld the chassis we found a solution to change the position
of the inlet. In addition, the turbocharger we decided to purchase it rather than do the manufacturing in local
markets. In fact, as you know if we try to manufacture it abroad it is going to be coastally so basically due
to the time limitation we will not be able to submit the project before the deadline these are constraints we
face it. In addition, turbocharger should be selected on how many hours power we want. Although, we
should put on our consideration the throttle valve inlet and based on that we can select the turbo size and
design the system itself. Our target is to increase the performance 100 horse power or more.

 Design Methodology

The design methodology for achieving the objectives of the project needs to experience a few
critical stages. The result will be founded on what has been utilized effectively in the design system to get
the final prototype of the project. To get the final prototype we need to take after the next stages:

1- Have a background on IC engines and a good relevant research to insure the first stage is
completed.
2- Design the drafts drawings of the system through SOLIDWORKS.
3- Selecting a turbo that is applicable for the selected engine which is 5.7 Dodge Charger Hemi.
4- Select of appropriate an intercooler due to the heat generated from the exhaust.
5- Manufacture and assembly the system parts.
6- Testing before and after the turbocharger by dynamometer to show the difference on the
performance and check if it is applicable.
7- Generate a future recommendation for turbocharge systems.

20
 Theory and Theoretical Calculations:

In this project, there are seven main objectives that need to be calculated before starting to install
the system of turbocharge. One of these things is the break power 𝑊̇ 𝑏, is the power output of the engine,
and measure by a dynamometer. Another thing is the Mach number that should be less than 1, because,
when the Mach number equal 1 it will be choked flow. The mean piston speed is the average speed of
the piston in a reciprocating engine. And also, will calculate the mass flow, the mass Airflow rate, the
critical mass and The Brake Mean Effective Prussure

The below calculations are from dynamometer test before turbocharge based on the following
figure.

 Product Subsystems and selection of Components:

Turbocharge Selection:

The selection of the turbocharger for a system is possibly the most important decision that there
in the entire process. A properly selected turbocharger with some nice features will wonderfully
compliment the engine while simplifying the system design and plumbing. However, a poorly
chosen turbocharger will do little to increase engine power while causing one headache after
another over the system design and plumbing. A turbocharger is chosen primarily based on its size
but there are several other desirable features to look for as well. The team went through a lengthy
turbocharger selection process marked by repeated compromises leading to the final decision.

5Figure 3.2 Turbocharge.

32
 Turbocharge Sizing:

There are two separate parts of the turbocharger that need to be sized correctly, the
compressor and the turbine. However, before either of these components can be sized, the
objectives of the turbocharged system need to be determined. While engine displacement and peak
horsepower are important pieces of information, a little planning needs to be added to this
knowledge before proceeding with the selection of a turbocharger.

6Figure 3.3: Sizing of Turbocharge.

33
7Figure 3.4 Parts of Turbocharge.

34
 Finally, the connections for all inlets and outlets should be looked at. The compressor
inlet and outlet will both likely be designed for a hose to be clamped on to them. If this is the
case, they should have a lip to assist in clamping. Their diameters should also be standardized so
standard sized hose can be purchased. The bearings section will have an oil inlet and outlet for
sure but may also have a oil inlet and outlet. These inlets and outlets should be examined to
determine how easy it will be to acquire and connect the right hoses for the oil and, possibly,
water. The oil inlet and outlet absolutely should not be on the same face. They should be on
opposite faces. The same should be true for the water inlet and outlets. If the inlet and outlet are
on the same face, the small size of the turbocharger can create major problems in fitting all the
necessary connections into that small area. The turbine inlet and outlet will most likely be bolt
on connections requiring flanges. Preferably the turbocharger manufacturing will produce
gaskets and flanges for the turbine, which saves the trouble of having to design and machine
custom ones. Thicker flanges and flange connections seal better and are less likely to fail under
the stress they experience.

Finding the Right Turbocharge for the Project

At the start of the project, the team was given an unused turbocharge. After reviewing the
rationale for our selection in our report, the decision was made to start the turbocharge selection
process from scratch. This decision was made after examining the airflow data that was used to
map the compressor. The data seemed to contradict itself and its source was not cited, making it
suspect. The plan for this year was to get the naturally aspirated engine running with a restricted
intake, and to then use an airflow sensor to experimentally acquire airflow data necessary to
properly map a compressor. An ideal compressor map was to then be constructed and used to
locate the most compatible turbocharger. Since the engine never successfully ran and the data
acquisition system was never completed, this experimental data was never obtained and an ideal
compressor map was never made. The turbocharger selection process thus had to proceed without
enough data to make a proper decision.

36
 In addition to the lack of data problem, a lack of choices problem also existed.
Further complicating things was the restrictor. The restrictor was going to cause the
engine to consume less air and produce less power than a normal 600cc engine. This
means that a turbocharger designed for a 600cc engine could end up being too large for
this system. The team decided to try to find the smallest turbocharger it could to try to
compensate for the intake restrictor. Since no empirical data could be gathered to
properly size the turbochargers, this seemed like as good a plan as any.

The search for small turbochargers thus began. One requirement, however, was
that any turbochargers that were found had to have a compressor map. Even though the
system could not be properly plotted on the map, being able to compare the compressor
maps of two turbochargers is enough to determine which is better suited for smaller
airflow rates characteristic of smaller engines. The team spent an extensive amount of
time trying to find alternative turbochargers. The internet was searched from auction
websites to turbocharger manufacturer websites to forums. Junkyards and motorcycle
shops were contacted. An old turbocharger found lying around the shop was even
investigated until it was found to have severely damaged bearings. However, after all
that, there were no viable alternatives. The closest thing to a feasible alternative was
the IHI RHF3. The IHI website indicates that this turbocharger is well suited for
engines as small as and handles airflows up to 222.5 CFM. A complete compressor
map could not be found for the RHF3, but Fig. 4.8 shows a simplistic compressor map
comparison between the RHF3 and other members of the IHI RH series.

37
 Manufacturing and assembly (Implementation):

Turbocharger

The Turbocharger is used by connecting it to the throttle valve where it will then be
closed using a flange. In addition, we tried our best to be accurate in the design and the
dimensions to ensure the airflow which pressurized do not lose it or get leaked. Also, the oil
Turbocharge will give a great output since and also the long-life term will be smooth of it
because it will reduce the scratches and friction for the bearings.

10Figure 3.7 Turbocharger

Wastegate

The wastegate is a valve small in size, which is used to control the how much of boost
the turbo makes. It opens once the airflow comes out of the manifold and once the boost reaches
the level we need directly the rest of the air will be discharged by the wastegate. In addition,
the goal is a daily usage of the car so the boost was 8 PSI. Also, in our project the Wastgate
will be external.

38
 Valve Spring

Due to the huge pressure that will became from the turbocharger so the original valve
lifter will be damaged. Furthermore, we had to change the valve spring and purchase a high
stiffness spring. To ensure the head of the chamber keep run smoothly.

11Figure 3.8 Valve Spring

39
 Intercooler

An intercooler, in general is a radiator designed to cool the hot "boosted" air coming
out of the turbocharger. Because compressing air raises its temperature. Intercooling goes hand
in hand with turbocharging always. We fabricate the inlet elbow to ensure and keep the car
original rather than a fabrication into the body of the car or the chassis. Also, we used an
aluminum to do the piping.

12Figure 3.9 Intercooler

40
 Blow of Valve

Blow of valve is small valve locate before the throttle valve to bypass the air once the
throttle is closed. So, we put the blow of valve in our consideration and it will be connected by
an aluminum pipe.

Dynamometer

16Figure 4.1 Dynamometer

As shown in fig 4.1 the dynamometer, or "dyno", is a device for measuring

force, moment of force (torque), or power before and after turbocharger. For example,
the power produced by an engine, motor or other rotating prime mover can be
calculated by simultaneously measuring torque and rotational speed (rpm). Also, the
device will be used to calculate the volumetric efficiency, pressure ratio, intake air
temperature and manifold absolute pressure. The specifications below will give a
detailed about the dynamometer. [1]

Blow off valve:

17Figure 4.2 blow off valve

Here’s how it works, a blow-off valve is connected to the intake tract. Inside the
valve’s main housing is a vacuum chamber with a spring, diaphragm and valve. The
diaphragm reacts to pressure changes and at a predetermined vacuum it’s pulled toward
the vacuum source compressing the spring inside the housing. (4) The spring is

47
connected to a valve that pulls away from its seat and releases the unwanted boost
pressure. On some BOVs, an adjustment screw lets you control at what pressure in the
intake system the valve is activated. It is also possible to swap the spring to change the
activation point. The location of the blow off valve is after the throttle body fixed on
the intake pipe. The specifications below will give a detailed about the blow off valve.

 The valve seal utilizes a Viton O-ring that is clamped in place to prevent the
possibility of sticking to the seat and pulling out.
 The valve stem and guide are Teflon-lubricated, hard anodize-coated for wear
resistance.

48
Waste gate:

18Figure 4.3 waste gate

A waste gate is a boost-controlling device that operates by limiting exhaust

gases going through the turbocharger, controlling the maximum boost pressure
produced by the turbocharger itself. A waste gate consists of an inlet and outlet port, a
valve and a pressure actuator. A pressure actuator, controlled by boost pressure
determines whether the waste gate is open or shut. In its resting position, a waste gate
is shut, and as the boost pressure builds, force is applied to the actuator. When the boost
pressure exceeds the spring value, the actuator will progressively open the waste gate,
bypassing some of the exhaust gases therefore maintaining the boost pressure at the set
level. To put it simply – a waste gate prevents the boost pressure from climbing
indefinitely and consequently blowing the engine. The location of the waste gate under
turbocharge fixed on exhaust pipe. The specifications below will give a detailed about
the waste gate. [3]

Inter cooler:

19Figure 4.4 inter cooler

The intercooler’s job is to cool down the air after it has been compressed by
turbocharge, but before it enters the engine. Turbochargers work by compressing
air, increasing its density before it reaches the cylinders of the engine. By
squeezing more air into each cylinder, the engine is able to burn proportionally
more fuel, creating more power with each explosion (2). The intercooler works to
counteract this process, cooling the compressed air to provide the engine with
more oxygen, and improving the combustion in each cylinder. In addition, by
regulating the temperature of the air, it also increases the reliability of the engine,
by ensuring the air to fuel ratio in each cylinder is maintained at a safe level. The
location of the inter cooler is in front center of the car as shown in the figure
below.

Results, Analysis and Discussion

Goals:
After this experiment, the main thing that need to be is to increase the power
and torque of the engine by using turbocharge. Also, the second thing is to
improving the combustion inside the engine to make it work smoothly and give
more power and make the engine more efficient. So, the purpose of this
experiment is to making the engine more powerful with turbocharge.

Experimental methodology
1- Measuring device: dynamometer is the main devise in this experiment
which is by dynamometer measuring the horsepower and torque before
and after turbocharge will be known.
2- Tuner: the main job of the tuner is to program the computer of the car
to make the turbocharge work well and to avoid any mistake that will
make damage on the system.
3- Blow off valve: it is work as a valve that release the pressure on the
pipes. When the throttle body close there is high pressure inside pipes
if it is closed the job of blow off valve here is to release this pressure.

51
 4- Inter cooler: to cool the hot air that comes from exhaust, then the hot
air enters to the cooler, then from the intercooler to the turbocharge.
5- Waste gate: the used of waste gate is to limiting exhaust gases going
through the turbocharger, controlling the maximum boost pressure
produced by the turbocharger itself.

System testing

Procedure:

In the beginning, put the car on the dynamometer and fix it on the dynamometer by
using ropes installed in the ground to prevent the car from sliding or deflecting from
the dynamometer. After that, connect the computer of the car by the tuner computer to
programme and put new set up for the car. Then, accelerate the car by passing the gear
until the fourth gear, on the fourth gear the tuner presses the entire throttle until the car
takes its maximum speed. Faunally, the maximum power and torque comes from the
engine will show up as a diagram with horsepower and torque number on the computer
like a figure 4.5.

Result before turbocharge:

After doing the dynamometer test, the results before insulting turbocharge on the
car will show up clearly in figure bellow. Moreover, the results will show and explain
very well in this section. Also, there are three graphs will show in this section which is
the horsepower, torque, and horsepower with torque versus rpm.

 20 Figure 4.5 Dynamometer before Turbocharge.

After run the car on the dynamometer without turbocharge Fig (4.5), there is as
shown in the figure that the two parameters which is the maximum horsepower and
torque versus rpm. Before insulting turbocharge the maximum horsepower is 347 hp at
5200 rpm, and the maximum torque is 380 ft-lb at 4250 rpm. In addition, after installing
turbocharge on the car there will be for sure big different in both horsepower and torque,
and that will be clear if the car takes run test after turbocharge.

Here in the Fig (4.13), explain the relation between the RPM and the pressure
ratio of the compressor. When the pressure ratio more than 1 the turbo charge will
start working. We choose Manifold Absolute Pressure because we do not have a
sensor to measure the turbocharge pressure. In addition, we divide the Manifold
Absolute Pressure by 14.7 PSI when it is the start point of the charging of the turbo.

After installing turbocharge on the car and after testing the system we observe
good results which is the horsepower and torque as shown in the figure5, it was
increasing. The results before turbocharge was horsepower 347 hp, torque 380 ft-lb,
and we got after turbocharge horsepower 483.3 hp, torque 552 ft-lb. the results were
very good because the different was more than what we expected.

Project Execution Monitoring

5.3.1 Meetings with Advisors:

To have a good work, we arrange with our advisor and co-advisors to meet them once
a week to solve the problems that we faced and be on the right side and avoid any mistakes
could be happened in the project at all. Moreover, our advisor Dr. Nader Nader helps us a lot
in the difficulties that we faced. In addition, sometimes we need also our co-advisors help us
so, we arrange with them to have a time with them one time in two weeks. However, we have
been chosen the right advisor and co-advisors for this project, because they help us a lot.

5.3.2 Team meetings:

As we mention in the Gantt chart, before we start working in the project we decide
between each us to divide the work by having a new style of teamwork which is, each one of
the group members take one chapter and chose one or more from the team members to be to
become an assistant for him in the chapter. To more explanation, by using this style we are
saving the time and arrange the work between us also, at the end of each week we arrange a
meeting between all the group members to negotiate and discuss the work that is done.

68
 5.3.3 Other activities:

Our project is containing three major important steps lies in the proper completion of
the project. The first step, prepare for the project by reading every single small point about it
and looking for the difficulties that might face us and find a solution for it. The second step,
find the charts and information about the car before modified to be calculated in chapter three.
The third step, test the car to make sure that the system works on the car successfully and collect
the data that need to be taken from the car after modified (with turbocharge). We tried to work
on all the steps carefully to accomplish the target.

Challenges and Decision Making

The most issue that we challenge us on it is the time conflict and how we can manage
the time between us to have a meeting each weekend. However, between the members, there
are no issues in attending all the meetings and do the work that required of him. In addition, the
second issues some parts when we order it we have a problem to make it fit in the engine of the
car that we chose so, we have to make a decision by modifying and fabricate some parts. The
huge problem that we faced in the parts we solved by fabrication such as:

5.4.1 location of the turbocharger:

The major part of our senior project is turbocharged, which the entire project is about
it. We faced an issue in the location of it how we can put it in a location inside the car with
caution from places away from the air and inappropriate to approach the car to work in the right
manner and the ideal way. Depends on that, we make our decision by finding the right place
for the turbocharger.

69
 5.4.2 piping of the intercooler:

This type of part is important in our project and plays an important part in our project
after the turbocharge; we faced that when we order the intercooler the inlet and outlet holes of
it were the same levels, which mean in the inlet is on the opposite side of the outlet. Regards to
this, we have to make one of two choices, either cut the chasses or change the inlet position so,
we make a decision by changing the inlet position.

5.4.3 car programming (tuning):

The issue here is the computer cannot read when the boost is high above 10Psi.
According to that, we solve this issue by putting the boost controller on 8 to10 Psi. After that,
the computer can read the amount of air that comes inside.

 6 Chapter 6: Project Analysis

Life-long Learning

There were many things that required us effort workmanship and patience to
accomplish it in the desired manner while taking into account the maintenance of time and
organization of work in the right manner. Based on this, the project requires some programs
that explain and explain the idea required of the project to deliver them in the correct way to
the listener and reader through some of the most important programs: Solid work, a program
that demonstrates how to manufacture and work and some pieces and the project in full. And
took from that program a lot of time to master some of the complex and difficult to clarify.
Also, we had to finish some pieces of the project at a specific time, then the pieces must be
assembled in full and presented in some way to clarify the full project work.

Contrary to this, in the project, there were many accurate calculations that need to be
reviewed and re-reviewed to obtain the required numbers that prove the validity of the theory
put forward from the beginning and is the basis of the project and the idea of the mother. In
addition, each of the members of the group was required to check and verify the correctness of
the matters mentioned in the main laws by going to the advisors and co-advisors.

73
 Impact of Engineering Solutions

In an essential feeling of our work, the thought is productivity. That is our key,
and that is what we have to accomplish. On the off chance that we can demonstrate that
present gear could be arranged to do much more than planned that would spare a great
deal of cash. The effect of the venture touches numerous parts of our lives from the
power going to our homes to the water we drink even the modern machines used to
transport all that we see. We need to expand the productivity of everything that warmth
exchange assumes a part in, and we begin with radiators since it is what we could bear
the cost of with the time we had. Warmth exchange assumes a part of the transportation,
control age, and even water generation. Expanding the productivity of transport would
diminish fuel utilization. On the off chance that the effectiveness of a ship that vehicles
merchandise is expanded, that implies it requires less fuel to run, and that makes it less
expensive, and that outcomes in more moderate products for all. In the event that we
make the trucks that move metal from mines more productive that would mean they
can work more and lower the cost of organizations making them ready to spend more
on different things like expanding compensation. On the off chance that we make the
autos we at present have run all the more effectively that implies we bring down the
fuel utilization, and by that, we decrease the carbon impression on the planet.
Expanding the effectiveness of energy creation would mean bringing down their effect
on the condition. Most power plants depend on the warm exchange and utilize water to
do that, which we have indicated is an exceptionally poor conductor of warmth.
Suspending Nanoparticles in the water would as it required the acquaintance of
ultrasound gadgets with suspending the particles and avert precipitation. That would
enormously cut the cost of energy since they can give a similar sum less fuel, and by
consuming less fuel we would lessen the carbon impression on the planet.

74
 Contemporary Issues Addressed

Our reality doesn't have a limited measure of assets accordingly we have to

do the most with the assets, we are coming up short on, and we additionally need to
deal with the planet that we are gradually murdering. With little changes to even
the current machines and framework we can accomplish this. With the rising fuel
costs, we can have our autos devour less fuel by making them devour it all the more
productively. We can likewise have control plants that are up and running get the
most vitality out of the fuel they devour, which will spare Saudi a ton of barrels that
could be sold on the open market. These have an exacerbated advantage in light of
the fact that the spare the earth. Therefore, turbochargers manufacturing companies
such as HKS, BorgWarner and ZAGE will benefit from using this project.

 7 Chapter 7: Conclusion and future recommendations

Conclusion

To conclude our work in some few words, our project is to design of turbocharge

system for an existing gas engine. That was to make a system that can make the

turbocharge work with engine by our chosen. However, this work was required from

us to be submitted in four months also, we have make all the calculation that is required

from us in details. To make it clear more, the work divided into two parts, one is along

the workshops that contain what is efficiency of the car before and after and the other

part depend on the calculation of the result that we have it from the workshops, that

mean the two parts each one is depends on the other. Moreover, we have also the hidden

parts which is, the reports work that each member of the group should done his job in

the right way. Depends on the previous, that’s way we have to work as team to finish

all the work on a good way and have the professionally work done also, to accomplish

this mission to the fullest.

77
 Future recommendations

The project can be developed in a number of ways that can help to strengthen

and improve project performance by adding another turbocharge which they call it

(Twin-turbo) by addition of turbocharger will significantly improve performance but

will increase the budget required to perform the project. On the other hand, most car

companies add the turbocharging to most modern cars from 2016 to 2019 by adding it

on a small engine to get high performance of the car while reducing the expenses also,

turbocharge on the display will change many of the calculations and numbers used and

will show the difference between the old and modern performance. In addition, the

project can be developed so that the type of materials used in the aluminum system

instead of the stainless steel is changed to maintain the heat and get the required

performance. The optimum form of completion will in turn become more expensive but

these additions ensure superior performance.

In the other hand, the size of the turbocharge and the engine plays as a the most

important things to improve the performance in the project so, the turbo charge too

much sizes each one depends on the engine that fit with to contain as much as possible

of air. However, the size of the engine also, should fit the turbo that have been chosen

to optimize the Format required.

78
 Finally, I think the future of the machines in the development in terms of all the

car companies to add the Turbocharge and Supercharge in most of its engine and this

is something special where they developed the old idea is to do the enlargement of

machines only with no consideration of other aspects that can improve performance

and save money and reduce the weight of cars And it is the right way.
