Turbo Size Comparison

Here's a comparison chart of turbo compressor wheel and turbine wheel. Not necessarily sorted by size and power.I did not list the horsepower rating of the turbos. It depends many variables. Only listed by compress flow in CFM. Some cfm listed are max flow. Others are listed at 2 pressure ratio (PR) or at 14.7psi at sea level. Note: some turbos come as a bolt-on kit. Some do not, marked by '*'. Specs are not limited to the chart listed below for those none-bolt-on turbos.

Disclaimer: Greddy modifies Mitsubishi turbos. Due to lack of factory data, all Greddy turbo specs here are referenced using Mitsubishi specs. It may not be accurate. This chart is just informational, use at your own risk.

a Apperantly some TD05-18G kit has just the bigger 18G wheel inside a TD05 compressor housing while other TD05-18G has bigger 18G wheel and TD06 compressor housing. 

b Pentroof of Japan offers kit for TD06 and 2835 for Z32s. Custom made to your specifics. 

c Escort of Japan offers streetable kit of HKS GT3037.

d HKS offers the 'R' version of 2835. 2835R has bigger 100mm compressor inlet. Also, there's a 'S' version of 3037. 3037S also has bigger 100mm compressor inlet. The Pentroof 2835 kit is the regular version with 70mm inlet. The pro version uses internal wastegates.


Volumetric Efficiency

     Actual CFM     

= Volumetric Efficiency 

Theoretical CFM

 

Volumetic Efficiency or VE, I will be using from this point, varies depending on temperature and pressure.

From that, we know a normally aspirited engine will have VE of 100% or less. And force inductioned engine will have VE of 100% or more.

The actual calculation of VE is done by ECU using measured amount of intake air, with Mass Air Sensor measuring at intake pipe or Speed Density measuring inside the intake manifold (close to intake port of the engine).

  • Theoretical CFM

theoretical cfm = rpm x displacement / 3456

  • Engine Flow Demand
Engine Flow= (engine displacement) X (volumetric efficiency) X (engine speed) X (manifold pressure)
 
You can see the key to increase engine flow is to increase engine VE (volumetric efficiency). Reduce intake charge temperature is the easiest way to help increase engine VE. This is where air/air, air/fluid intercooler and water injection come into play.
 
Assuming VE at 100%, 1 atmosphere pressure, we have the following table for a 3.0L engine flow( CFM) at various rpm and pressure point.
