Turbo Chargers and Parts for Mitsubishi Starion

The Mitsubishi Starion is a two-door sports car with a hatchback and a wide-body or narrow-body style. Turbo chargers and parts for Mitsubishi Starion vehicles are designed to enhance the engines performance. Here is an overview of turbo chargers and how they work.

What is a turbo charger?

This is a device that adds force and efficiency to an existing car engine using a series of fans and the exhaust gas. In regular engines, fuel mixes with air in metallic cylinders, which causes a small explosion. This pushes a piston in the cylinder, which causes the wheels to turn. These mini explosions happen repeatedly. The turbo charger is designed to push more air into the cylinders, which increases the power of the explosion, giving the car more power.

A turbo charger consists of a few integral parts, as described below.

  • The turbine is the first metal fan and sits in line with the exhaust air that is released after the explosion in the cylinder.
  • The center hub rotating assembly is a metal shaft that connects the two fans, which are the turbine and the compressor. As the exhaust gas turns the turbine, this piece rotates, thus turning the compressor.
  • The compressor is another metallic fan that is designed to push air back into the cylinders to increase the amount of air available for the next explosion in the cylinder.
  • The heat exchanger sits between the compressor and the cylinder and is designed to cool the air down before it goes into the cylinders, thus increasing the efficiency of the engine.
What is a boost controller?

Mitsubishis are designed to have the ability to link a handheld device to the turbo charger to allow the driver to adjust the settings on it. These include things like turning the turbo on and off and adjusting the amount of pressure in the cylinders. The boost controller uses a manual or digital system to operate.

What is included in a turbo kit?

The major parts include the actual turbo charger, the exhaust manifold, the intercooler, controller, timer, and pressure regulator. Along with these key components, the kits typically include the mounting hardware like the tubing, gaskets, piping, bolts, and filters. Most kits come with directions.

What is an intercooler?

The intercooler is a type of heat exchanger that is designed to cool off the air as its pushed into the cylinders of an engine by the compressor. The device is also designed to help push a consistent amount of extra air into the cylinders for each mini explosion to enhance engine performance.
