ET18
- Cooper 2 & 4-cycle engines (1,500 7,000 Hp) - One turbo supplies air for ~ 1,500-3,000 hp on a 2-cycle engine - Most 4-cycle LSV engine that use ET18s only require one turbo
ET13
- Cooper GMVH-6 and Superior 825s 12 & 16 cylinder
CB13
- Cooper GMVH-6C, GMV and GMW CleanBurn Conversions - One turbo supplies air for ~ 800-1,500 hp on a 2-cycle engine
HPO90
- Cooper GMW/GMWA-10 w/ HPFi
C13
- Ingersoll-Rand (KVT512) - Worthington - Nordberg
C10
- Nordberg
Resolution New air specification created Upgrade turbocharger components based on air spec Build and test turbocharger Field installation and testing
Results
Increased air flow rate Maintain waste-gate margin of 19% at all operating conditions at 100 deg ambient Increased reliability
Ambient horsepower up-rate available at 100 deg F Large operating range available
80-100% RPM 70-100% Torque
Summary
Proper turbocharger match is essential to maximize engine performance High efficiency Turbochargers are required to meet demands of modern engines Critical steps to success Air specification Turbocharger design Testing before installation
