Reverse turbocharger: the innovation in the field of performance improvement?

Reverse turbocharger are an advance in the world of turbocharging and bring next to one performance increase also technical innovations. But what exactly makes this type of turbo so special? A Reverse turbocharger differs from normal turbochargers in the direction of rotation. The innovation enables flow-optimized gas routing and makes it possible to build technically optimized biturbo systems. This is particularly useful for vehicles that require maximum performance and efficiency. The latest models of turbos, like that GTX-R Gen II from Garrett, have an improved compressor side, which produces up to 20% more power than its predecessors.

Reverse turbocharger: the innovation in the field of performance improvement?

A key feature of the new generation is the Aero-optimized high-flow compressor housing, which are tailored to the new GTX compressor wheels. The housings also have an integrated holder for optional Speed ​​measuring sensors, which leads to an expansion of the operating range of the compressor. The compressor (wheel) itself is made of a high-strength aluminum alloy, which gives the turbo a particularly high level of efficiency. The manufacturing process also ensures a particularly uniform wheel geometry, which reduces pulsation noise minimized. Storage Of course, it also plays a role in the performance and efficiency of the turbocharger.

Garrett relies on ceramic double ball bearings

The ceramic double ball bearings installed in the GTX-R Gen II ensure quick response, while the Water Cooling ensures efficient temperature control. As for the choice of material, the use of allows Inconel as a material for that turbine dealing with high exhaust gas temperatures. There are also various options for the exhaust side, including V-band, T25 and T4 inlets. In summary, reverse turbochargers deliver a perfect combination of performance, efficiency and technical innovation. As technology continues to develop, even more powerful and efficient turbochargers will come onto the market in the future.

Further details on the topic of reverse turbochargers:

  • There are other providers besides Garrett like AeroFlow etc.
  • A standard turbocharger keeps spinning right-wing (if you look from the compressor side).
  • “Reverse” is the English word for “the other way around”.
  • A reverse turbocharger rotates left-wingto suck in air.
  • Technical advantage of a reverse turbocharger: There are no direct technical advantage in terms of function.
  • Structural advantage: It allows for a more compact design in certain vehicles.
  • Some vehicles, such as the Golf 7R or GTI, use reverse turbochargers to enable a more compact design.
  • Manufacturers try to make everything as compact as possible to make room for other components or to shorten the exhaust path.
  • In motorsports, reverse turbochargers are often used as an upgrade for vehicles where the stock turbocharger is a reverse charger.
  • In V engines (e.g. V6, V8), the reverse turbocharger enables a more compact and symmetrical design.
  • The selection of standard turbochargers is larger.
  • The ability to mount the turbocharger in different positions allows users to choose the best installation location for their specific needs.
  • Reverse turbochargers can also be individually configured to meet specific requirements, including selection of compressor wheels, exhaust wheels and bearings. Photo credit/source: Aeroflow Performance Products
