Turbochargers, Kits & Accessories

Turbocharger kits for motorsport vehicles are comprehensive packages designed to enhance engine performance by significantly increasing air intake through forced induction. These kits typically include a turbocharger, intercooler, blow-off valve, wastegate, and necessary piping and hardware. The turbocharger, driven by exhaust gases, compresses incoming air to increase its density, allowing for more fuel to be burned and generating higher power output. Intercoolers are essential components in these kits, cooling the compressed air to prevent engine knock and maintain optimal performance.

Blow-off valves and wastegates are crucial in regulating the turbocharger's boost pressure. The blow-off valve releases excess pressure when the throttle is closed, protecting the turbocharger from damage and reducing compressor surge. Wastegates, either internal or external, control the exhaust flow to the turbine, ensuring that the boost pressure does not exceed safe levels. This precise control of pressure is vital for maintaining engine reliability and performance in high-stress motorsport environments.

The piping and hardware included in turbocharger kits are engineered to withstand high pressures and temperatures. These components ensure efficient airflow and minimal pressure loss, which is critical for achieving the desired performance gains. Additionally, many kits come with upgraded fuel delivery systems, such as high-flow injectors and fuel pumps, to ensure the engine receives the necessary amount of fuel to match the increased air supply. Advanced engine management systems may also be included to provide precise control over the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing, optimising the engine’s performance and reliability.
