very interesting...

 

What is so interesting?

 

Fascinating.

 

wow that was really cool, i like the compressor surge

 

What is really interesting is, that even If you put the Nozzle as near as possible in front of the turbo, you cannot prevent water from laying onto the wall of the piping creating larger droplets that then can drop onto the blades.

So when it comes to erosion the size of the nozzle seems to play the bigger part than the nozzle location (way from the nozzle to the turbo).

Thanks for sharing!

kind regards Marc


btw. they used a really large nozzle for preturbo application.

 

That is what I was thinking exactly! All that build up of water on the TID walls must be a concern

 

so the blades wear out in couple yrs?

 

What about when you're driving in the rain with a turbo, condensation can form on the walls of the TID, same sort of scenario, just much less frequent. the compressor blades are moving fast enough that they'd probably vaporize the droplets before they were able to do damage. I still haven't seen a compressor wheel with damage from pre-turbo injection. I'd be a little worried about the fitting or the extension braking loose and getting chewed in the wheel before anything!
