Default Could someone break down the parts of a turbo?

Hey guys, i read alot on the FI forumn and their's always terminology i'm missing.

I know what the manifold is, the turbo and what not. But what is a "flange"?
The down-pipe is the piping that flows from the turbo that follows to the exhaust?

I know there are other parts with names i can't recall that i only remember when i read them and think...what is that?

A picture with arrows pointing to the different parts would be best! But that would take some work. But hell, i'll make it if you can tell me all the parts and edicate to them.

someone can do that but then why would honda-tech need a search button?...If something yur stuck on just search and u shall find an answer then if u still just dont get it then ask a more less broad question, narrow it down to a question that is more technically related to a certain part u dont understand...like wastegate, bov, etc..and write what u know or think u know about it so we know what to tell u and better explain to help u out with the ?'s u have about turbo parts, It will help u out soooo much more

Ok well. I'm sure you know that only a select few know how to label thier topics appropriate to the content. If you have the knowledge share it.

I know what a xx and what it does:
Manifold
Intercooler
Wastegate (internal/external)
Blow Of Valve (BOV)

I don't know what a xx is and its purpose:
Flange
Down pipe
and other things i don't even know what they're called.

These are all the physical parts that make up the turbo.

Go to turbo basics after you get on this site. It was meant for 2nd gen integras but it has alot of good stuff for all honda applications.

Here you go check this site out and you'll find all of the beginner knowledge you need to know. Honda-tech tho sometimes helpful are full of people that would rather post a page on telling you how to use the search button rather than using that time to tell you what you need to know. What a waste of knowledge, everyone at one time didn't know it all.....once you know what you do than share your knowledge. Instead of being a jack *** and posting useless bullshit, either don't post at all or answer what has been asked!!

For one ******* half of us dont have time to sit and write what ever part to a turbo is and what it does and how it works....SO if you want to play night in shinning armor by all means type away...I was making sure he knew that if he narrowed things down and explained to us what he knows and what he doesnt then maybe we could help him out better from a standpoint of are we talkin to a no brainer or semi knowledgeable that just needs some guidence...There are so many topics wasted on info that can be searched, I wasnt being mean or didnt want to not answer his question but it was to broad and to much info to break down....I mean u dont have to be a total ******** and tell me that my post was useless...If u really want to be that guy then go for it but there is more people who probablly see it my way....To get info u need to have a slight background on the info you want obtained, thats how i work...Its like school you dont go and say teach me english i dont get it, the proff. will sit down and evaluate what u do know and what u dont then he will go from there and help out as much as he can.......But again if you want to spend all day wrinting to this guy all the turbo parts and there function by all means do it....but most of us arent like that, im sure someone will be backing me up.......I wasnt wrong with what i wanted to know from him, until u had to go and call me names and tell me i suck and im usless....blah blah *middle finger* peace

wow, i can see how you thought that post was directed towards you since you did post useless ****. But I was telling "issues4" how H-T in general was. By the way with you half page post that you posted it just validates my previous comment on Useless **** being posted on threads. I helped him out with a fairly short post. So i guess my armor is shinnier than yours. chillout man...you need to go get some booty!!!!!

to dainteg for bein' a plain ole good guy
to travsi for bein' a pompous a$shole who'd rather flame someone and waste even more time than just giving an easy answer or not answering at all.

issues4, do0d, the search button is VERY useful. use it. go0d luck on your future turbo endeavors and your turbo inquiries.

Thanks guys, when i get home i'm gonna find a good picture of a real turbo and do a little arrow pointing with names on it. Hopefully i'll get it all right.

That is definetely a very detailed breakdown.

Yeah, i wasn't sure what this he was all about. Basicly he just contridicted everything that he said and tried to make me seem like a dick for some reason. Eh...oh well.

nigel - DSaks acUra was trying to reply to "TravSi" not you and your broken seal remark!!!!

I didnt contradict ****.....I started off by telling him to search a little and read some stuff and obtain a lil knowledge on his own and then he could write more narrowed questions stating better what he wants to know, I mean seriously this is just not something you can easily answer....So i posted what i said first

Then u got me fired up with your remarks and well i get a little testy cause i was trying to be helpful in finding out maybe what he didnt know or what he did...Its truly hard to say since i dont even know him....He then answered:

I know what a xx and what it does:
Manifold
Intercooler
Wastegate (internal/external)
Blow Of Valve (BOV)

I don't know what a xx is and its purpose:
Flange
Down pipe
and other things i don't even know what they're called.

These are all the physical parts that make up the turbo.
So this tells me hmm ok he does know some parts that make up a turbo kit and what he needs clarification but by then u totally pissed me off cause i felt what i told him originally was not useless....Just cause i didnt give him the answers he wanted and wanted him to maybe do a lil searching and then make a question less broad, sory if thats so wrong but I have posted so many links and so many informational sites that can be found searching this web page....AND no i spent no time at all, im a fast typer... , You just fired me up thats all, no harm no foul...im over it, get over it.....So im done with that

Now that diagram is cool, but i dont think thats what he wanted to know totally...I believe he is lost at trying to figure out the parts on a turbo kit....Now a flange is something that u would use to connect say the wastegate to the manifold, downpipe to the turbine housing, bolting 2 exhuast sections together etc, You would weld yur dp to the "flange" and bolt to teh turbine housing....The Downpipe is what you bolt to the turbine housing which the routes the exhaust gases into the exhaust.....the otehr things you want to know i hav no idea where to begin, look at some pics of turbo kits from importparts.com or you can look at some pics on cheapturbo.com also they have some interesting stuff...roadraceengineering.com has some good stuff to look at and a few articles to read....Anyway sorry for flipping I just got really pissed cause i felt i was first trying to help by better knowing what he wanted to kno...I guess i was wrong i will for now not analyze people just answer the questions, I will no longer care what they know or what they dont to better help....Hope the end here i might have helped a little.....Peace

The seals in the center section are the ones that will go....which is why you get oil in the turbine or compressor housings....Probablly like the seals 22, 31, 27, etc...

Flange- Is that oval shape peice of metal on top considered a flange? even though its physically welded to the wastegate?

un-used exhaust from turbo - Little confused here. Is there not also a 2nd pipe leaving the bottom of the turbo and running to the exhust (aka. down-pipe)? The one i pointed to...does that connect up with the exhaust aswell?

Yes that is a wastegate flange, you have downpipe flanes, exhuast flanges, turbo flanges, etc...and yes you are correct that is the downpipe where it takes the gases out of the turbine and into the exhaust via the DP

Alright good stuff. So i just need to know if that piping coming out of the wastegate...if it goes to the exhaust or what it does. I kinda have to assume it does.

Oh and hey, in your info there...Tyrone? location? is that Tyrone in Northern Ireland?

the wastegate dump tube can be reverted into the exhuast or dump'd to atmosphere, dumping into exhuast will keep things quiet, a dump to atmospehere setup is loud when the wastegate opens....No im from Tyrone Pa USA
