April 12, 2019 No Comments
Multiple Award Winning Kompact EM

The Turbosmart Electro-Mechanical Blow Off Valve has earned another performance industry award at the 2019 Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association Innovations Awards. This is the second massive industry award that the Kompact EM has received in less than a few months, with the product also gaining the prestigious SEMA Street-Performance Award for 2019.

The AAAA Innovation Awards was no small feat, consisting of complete entry submission and weighted on a marking system of objectives, solutions, innovation, and the result of the product on both the market it services and impacts the Turbosmart business.

The whole team is excited to receive yet another industry award of this calibre for the Kompact EM product range. We have worked hard on this product and are quite proud of it. It is more than just a new solution for our customers, this symbolises our passion for keeping pushing forward and forging innovations for the industry, and that’s really what this award embodies and what it means for our business.

The Universal Kompact EM-BOV allows for seamless integration into vehicles which require actuation of the BOV to be controlled via the engine ECU without compromising flow or performance. The new universal Kompact EM BOV range flows at higher levels than existing compressor cover solutions and provides an alternate option where hybrid turbochargers demand more flow to prevent the compressor falling into surge with rapid load changes.

 

The Kompact EM-BOV Story

The Turbosmart Kompact EM-BOV was born out of a company-wide philosophy that sees the business determined to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to adopting and implementing new technologies that can service the demands of the ever-changing automotive industry. As the modern turbocharged engine was moving towards electronic technologies, so too did the aftermarket accessories needed to support it!

During data-intensive rounds of R&D, Turbosmart’s Engineering Team found that OEM valves are commonly built from sub-par materials to speed up their manufacturing process and reduce production costs.

“Due to the use of the nature of their design and materials used, OEM products can fault throughout normal use, but in particular, during periods of increased load when boost pressure is raised during the tuning of a vehicle. This can cause valve leaks meaning that the vehicle can not maintain a controlled boost pressure level for maximum performance. Ultimately this can cause the OEM ECU to register a fault which causes the vehicle to go into ‘limp mode’ by decreasing the boost pressure to protect the vehicle”, stated Christopher Doumbos, Turbosmart Head Engineer.

With this knowledge, Turbosmart went about sourcing significant amounts of OEM data, physical turbocharger units, and whole vehicles to develop the product. Using Turbosmart’s unique pressure control system from existing product ranges, Turbosmart quickly implemented the same technology found in their long-standing and successful range of Kompact products with their all billet construction and high-temperature o-rings.

While fitment and construct is something that Turbosmart has long perfected, determining how each vehicle ECU would respond to the solenoid required for the electro-mechanical response was a whole new challenge. Turbosmart wanted to make a unique product that required as little possible input from the user; a true, world-first, plug-n-play solution.

This required significant amounts of fine-tuning to the product to make sure that introducing a solenoid system to the top chamber of the valve responded in the same way across a range of vehicles and offered the customers a hassle-free solution. Again, the R&D department went to work on testing the solution across a range of scenarios, including dyno testing and road testing prototype units under different conditions. With each simulation and test, the product was refined to ensure seamless integration.

Eventually, the Turbosmart Kompact EM-BOV was developed as the world’s first aftermarket replacement Blow Off Valve for both direct fitment and universal replacement. To see the full range of Turbosmart Kompact EM-BOVs, visit www.turbosmart.com today or speak to your local Turbosmart distributor.

Anti-Lag Valve Explained

February 14, 2019 No Comments
TS-0552 1402 ALV40 Flow

The all-new addition to the Turbosmart line-up is the fresh air ALV40 (Anti-Lag Valve). They are designed to create a broader market for motorsport applications.

The anti-lag valve provides a means to maintain turbine speed, eliminate lag on gear changes & deceleration. This is achieved by allowing incoming charged fresh air from the turbo to be diverted safely into the exhaust manifold pre-turbo with the throttle at low opening angles to allow for safer spooling of the turbocharger, without the potentially damaging throttle based late combustion event style anti-lag that can induce high engine stresses and break connecting rods. 

When the ALV valve is active, boost pressure is diverted around the engine (instead of going through it) into the exhaust manifold. Combined with fuel and ignition strategies (from the ECU), the turbo speed is maintained, and more importantly, a useable boost is ready for when the throttle is opened again.

TS-0552-1402-ALV40-flow-diagram

ALV40 Features

The ALV40 features a 40mm valve diameter, a purpose-designed actuator housing with a sealed twin-chamber design and the top port being the primary control port. The spring is designed to open under vacuum conditions to allow the air to bypass the exhaust manifold. The lower chamber is utilised for twin-port control methods to control the valve irrespective of manifold pressure. The shaft seal allows for leakproof operation. Also, multiple fittings are supplied for ease of fitment and fabrication.

Developed for a variety of engine configurations; an outlet weld flange is required to be purchased separately to the correct application. The outlet system you require will depend on how you intend to plumb your ALV40 to your exhaust manifold. There are options to suit virtually all internal combustion engines either by plumbing into each cylidner runner, every 2nd cylinder runner or even into just 2 seperate turbocharger scrolls. Outlet flanges to suit multiple outlets (listed below) will need to be purchased seperately

For custom outlet plenums, use Single Outlet  (TS-0550-3101) to allow for the fabrication of your own solution.

Inside the box you will find:

  • Turbosmart GenV ALV
  • Valve Seat
  • Inlet & Outlet V-Band Clamps
  • Inlet Hose Adapter 1-1/2″ OD
  • Inlet Weld Flange 1-1/2″ OD
  • Collar Tool

Anti-lag | Do you have the best boost Response?

Engineered to Win!

Anti-lag is already a well-proven option to improve boost response on turbocharged engines, but Turbosmart has a new way to implement it via their Anti-lag valve. Traditionally anti-lag is operated via the throttle body, whereas Turbosmarts ALS valve does things a little differently, as explained by Andre at the 2018 Performance Racing Industry trade show.

Turbosmart and North Shore Toyota Join Forces for D1NZ Pro-Sport 2019

January 22, 2019 No Comments

Turbosmart and New Zealand distribution partner, North Shore Toyota, have joined forces to take on the sponsorship of Pro-Sport (Pro-Am) for the 2019 season of D1NZ.

Turbosmart & NST have not been strangers to the event in the past, with Turbosmart stepping on board in 2018 to sponsor last years series. However, 2019 saw the opportunity for the two businesses to work more closely together and use their combined talent to partner on a deal to close out the class sponsorship for the amateur round of the NZ drift series.

“NST has been an amazing partnership. From the outset, this relationship has evolved from strength to strength as we continue to better serve our customers in the NZ market. We are really thrilled with what Peter, Nick and the team at NST have been and continue to do for our customers in that market. Going into this sponsorship together is an evolution of that trust”, says Brendan Lee, APAC Sales Manager, Turbosmart.

Looking back on 2018, it was a big year for Turbosmart in the D1NZ. It saw the introduction of new sponsorships for Turbosmart with Cole Armstrong Drift and Team Jenkins joining the family. While both teams remained staunchly competitive for the season, Armstrong managed to secure a back-to-back championship win after a rough start to the regular season, narrowly sealing out Darren Kelly’s 331 points, to lengthen the margin by 7 and win with 338.

“2018 was a big step for us, but the right one. The goals of D1NZ and the vision that Brendon White has for the series was moving in the right direction for Turbosmart. With the 2019 series, we had an opportunity to take it even further and adding the weight of NST into the mix to partner up with them on this was another step forward for all involved”, remarked James Horton, Global Marketing Manager, Turbosmart.

2019 will also see the introduction of another two Team Turbosmart drivers with both Darren Kelly and Matty Hill stepping into the fold. Both drivers will have their eyes on the prize focusing on the Pro-Championship series.

The 2019 D1NZ tournament kicked off its first round last weekend at Baypark in Tauranga with its Summer Smoke Out Round. NST was on site to catch all the action under the Turbosmart stand, and even unveiled the new livery to their own demo car, a Toyota Verossa, running a 1.5JZ with 455kW at the wheels.

Make sure you stay tuned to the D1NZ Facebook page for event details and live streams!

D1NZ Event Calendar:

RD2 Feb 15/16 – Max Motors Speedway – Wellington

RD3 Mar 16/17 – Hampton Downs – Waikato

RD4 Mar 30/31 – Pukekohe Raceway – Auckland

Turbosmart Introduces New Award Winning Anti-Lag Valve

November 2, 2018 No Comments
Turbosmart wins award at SEMA 2018

THE NEWLY RELEASED TURBOSMART ANTI-LAG VALVE WAS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT Product AT SEMA 2018

The ALV40 (TS-0552-1402) is designed to bring a typical high-end motorsport application to a broader market for the racing industry. It generated so much hype that the product was welcomed with two separate media awards from different publishers worldwide and the Best New Product Award for Performance Street with the Turbosmart Universal Kompact EM Blow-Off Valve.

The anti-lag valve provides a means to maintain turbine speed and eliminate lag on gear changes & deceleration. Boost pressure from the turbo is diverted around the engine on these closed throttle situations and combined with a fuel and ignition strategy (from the ECU), ensuring the turbine speed is maintained. A usable boost is ready when the throttle is opened again. The Air the turbocharger pressurises is diverted around the engine directly into the pre-turbo exhaust manifold, igniting a flame that continues to drive the turbocharger.

Chris Doumbos

Chris Doumbos, Turbosmart Head Engineer, the pioneer behind the Award Winning Universal EM BOV, explains a little about the Anti-Lag Valve.

“The fresh air valve allows for incoming fresh air to be diverted safely into the exhaust manifold, pre-turbo with the throttle closed to allow for safer spooling of the turbocharger without the potentially damaging combustion event style anti-lag that can induce high engine & turbo stresses, even break connecting rods”, states Doumbos.

“The fresh air ALS valve is a sealed twin-chamber design with the top port being the primary control port; the spring is designed to open under vacuum conditions to allow for the air to bypass into the exhaust manifold, the lower chamber for twin port control methods to control the valve irrespective of manifold pressure and shaft seal allows for the leak.”

Fresh AIr Anti-lag Valve

The all-new addition to the Turbosmart lineup is the fresh air ALV40 (Anti-Lag Valve). We feature a 40mm valve diameter, a purpose-designed actuator housing, and an inverted diaphragm and are supplied with multiple fittings for ease of fitment and fabrication.

Distributor orders can be placed from December 2018.
