Your dream is that the car you’ve been with so many with accompanies you for a long, long time? Especially in this period, in which the future of the sector is not very clear and changing cars can be a difficult choice, prolonging the life of one’s vehicle is very important.
But before you start, if you don’t know us and this is the first time you hear about CENTRO TURBO, it’s really time to introduce ourselves!
I am Manuel Andreini, owner since 2017 of Centro Turbo S.r.l.
Centro Turbo is a company with over 30 years of activity and specialized in the repair, regeneration and overhaul of a turbo throughout Italy. Our customers are workshops and small-medium enterprises in the sector that deal with repairs and customer service for engine problems of their cars, motorcycles, fireplaces, tractors or boats.
In recent years I have made significant changes to the company, which have allowed us to grow a lot and differentiate ourselves from all the other similar realities in our sector, as I have found a way to reduce costs and improve the production mode without lowering quality.
In this way I managed to be much more competitive both as prices and as production and delivery times.
Well, let’s go back to our turbo…
Turbochargers use dynamic gaskets that need to be periodically controlled…
The turbocharger use dynamic gaskets, wich guarantee the influx of oil to the central part of the turbo while preventing the liquid from ending up in the intake part (compressor) or in the exaust part (turbine).
Every stress helps the wear the gaskets: motors that are always pushed to be maximum can suffer more quickly damage to the gaskets and consequently to a decrease in the quality of performance.
A check every now and then is the best way to prevent these situations from occuring: if you notice traces of oil in the turbocharger or if you see that the seals are damaged, entrused to authorized workshop and always request guaranteed spare parts.
The turbocharger draws a lot of air but it is important to avoid the ingress to dust or small objects..
To work properly, the turbocharger sucks a large amount of air.
Although it is not a very frequent occurence, it can happen that dust or small objects are suckerd into the turbo. If it is simple dirt, periodic cleaning is enough to avoid problems.
In case they are solid objects, such as a small stone, bolt or piece of metal, then the damage could be greater.
If you have ever heard noises other than those of the usual compressor exercise, better to do an accurate check.
It is important to use a good quality oil and frequent control of its level..
Engine oil is essential to make your car work best. Poor quality oil or a decrease in lubricating fluid will case damage, even serious. The most common is undoubtedly the grip of the bearings, resulting in the engine’s lock.
If the oil contains impurities, the deterioration of the performance will be slow but inexorable. Frequent control of the oil level and careful programming of the replacement of the lubricating liquid help to extend the life of the turbo and the entire engine. Also remember to check filters: they will help protect the most delicate components and make the travel safely.
Avoid this considerable stress at the turbo of your car..
If you’re passionate about the world of tuning and love performance cars, you’ve certainly heard of surging.
Surging is a phenomenon that happen when you push the gas pedal until the end of the stroke and then lift your foot quickly. The compressed air trapped in the suction system does not find a way out; at this point it goes back following the same path brought it inside, but on the contrary.
The stress suffered by the turbo is considerable and in the long run can cause damage to the trust bearing. In short, even if surging has a certain charm, it better to limit it to a minimum not to cause harm to your beloved car.
High speed levels and maintained for a long time damage the turbo…
Each engine component, including turbo, is designed to withstand the stresses given by a certain maximum speed.
Every intervention carried out on the engine, if it has the purpose of increasing it, creates an imbalance between the parts that compose it. The problem is exacerbated if the speed reached, too high, is maintained for a long time.
Even in the racing environment, you must take into account the risks to wich the engine is subjected when changing the original set-up. An increase in performance is possible and is legitimate, but always within certain parameters and especially if carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.
