It’s something we’ve all heard of, some of us used, and most find themselves unable to afford the insurance ramifications. A turbocharger is widely known as an application beneath the bonnet that greatly increases a cars performance, but just how exactly does it work?

A bit of history first folks: In 1905 the first Turbocharger ever made was invented by a Swiss born engineer under the name of Alfred Buchi. Buchi applied the turbocharger initially to diesel ships in the early 1920’s, which then eventually made its debut to the automotive industry shortly after.

A turbocharger operates by drawing in an increased amount of air, at a much faster rate allowing a quicker air/fuel mixture ratio. A turbo powered car may be recognisable by a badge placed to the rear boot, for example a TDI (Turbo Diesel Injection) or newly introduced TSI (Twincharger Supercharged Injection) from VW.

Now over to the tech spec side of things, non-mechanically minded people look away! Inside the turbocharger are a compressor and turbine linked together by a shared axis. The turbine inlet receives exhaust gases through the engine exhaust manifold, allowing the turbine wheel to turn around. With the turbine now turning, this then drives the compressor, compressing ambient air and sending it straight to the air intake of the engine. With the air compressed, this allows for the engine to take in a far greater amount of air than normal, thus meaning that with more air added, more fuel can be used too.
It’s said that most turbochargers take in 50 percent more air over a standard engine. The typical boost made by a turbo is in around 6 to 8 pounds per square inch. General figures would indicate that a turbocharged engine gives a further 35 percent increase in power over a naturally-aspirated engine, which in lehmans terms means greatly improved performance!

Hexatech F1 Simulator

Hexatech F1 Simulator

Racing simulators manufacturer Cruden announced the availability of its latest alternative to popular home gaming equipment for motorsport enthusiasts, the Hexatech Formula One simulator. With pricing for the base simulator package starting at 120,000 British pounds, Hexatech is a professional full motion simulator with six ‘degrees of freedom’ (6DOF), realistic g-Force simulation, seat belt tensioners and 100 per cent realistic steering feedback.

“Snooker rooms, swimming pools, gyms and cinemas have been done time and again. Now, enter the professional racing simulator,” says Frank Kalff, Cruden’s commercial director, in a statement for the press. “Let’s be clear: this is not a video game linked up to a steering wheel, race seat and pedals. Although easy to operate, this is the exact same equipment used by the top racing drivers and engineers to improve their race craft and evaluate new tracks and car settings. Our simulator and the software it uses cannot be bought in a store.”

Cruden’s simulator is said to be built to endure hundreds of thousands of ‘driving’ kilometers per year in almost constant use and lasts 10 to 15 years without major overhaul.

“Driving a real Formula One car is not easy and getting fast and consistent laps in the simulator isn’t either. The

simulator takes minutes to learn and enjoy but a lifetime to master, unlike most driving games which are conquered and then discarded before too long. The immense challenge of honing the same level of driving skill as a top racing driver is unbelievably addictive and satisfying,” explains Kalff.

The Hexatech is available as a three-seater and it is offered with a variety of software packages and competition settings to chose from. The simulator has a footprint of 2.3 m x 3 m, requires a floor loading of 1,000 kg/m2 and a minimum ceiling height of 3 meters.
