Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) Systems

VGT systems, otherwise known as Variable Geometry Turbo Systems and Variable Nozzle Turbo boost control systems have been installed to a majority of diesel engine vehicles since the beginning of the 1990's. One feature of the control system is the variable turbo boost control, this has been designed in order to minimise "turbo lag" and to also provide a nearly constant turbo boost pressure at all engine speeds. The turbocharger in the boost control system has been fitted with a finned diffuser piston which in turn is operated by a vacuum controlled capsule, this allows you to achieve and obtain the turbo boost control effect.

Developed to increase the speed of the exhaust gases which strike the exhaust turbine at reduced engine speeds, the finned diffuser piston can also be changed to minimise the speed of the exhaust gases which strike the exhaust turbine at excessive engine speeds, this is done by changing the angle of he finned diffuser on the exhaust turbine.

At low engine speeds, the diesel engine management system control module (PCM) provides a control signal to a vacuum solenoid valve, this valve then opens which allows vacuum to be applied to the controlled capsules; this then leads to the finned diffuser piston being pulled towards the boost pressure control piston. When this takes place, the cross-section area between the exhaust gases and the exhaust turbine is closed, allowing the exhaust gases to pass through narrow cross-sectional areas before passing through to the exhaust turbine. Leading to an increase in the speed of the exhaust gases passing across the exhaust turbine, which in turn also increases the speed of the intake air turbine and increases the rate of boost pressure at  low engine speeds.

However on high speeds, the vacuum is released  on the vacuum controlled capsule. The finned diffuser is pushing open due to the spring tension inside the vacuum controlled capsule. When this happens, the cross-sectional area between the exhaust gases and the exhaust turbine is fully open. This then allows the exhaust gases to pass through a much larger cross-sectional areas before passing through to the exhaust turbine. This reduces the speed of the exhaust gases passing across the exhaust turbine, which in turn reduces the speed of the intake air turbine and reduces the rate of boost pressure at high engine speeds.

A Bus Company in China teaches it's Drivers not to Crash into Supercars

Bus drivers in China have been instructed explicitly not to hit supercars, and to that end have been shown posters featuring the badges of various supercars... to help them remember.

Yep, according to Car News China, the average bus driver in Jinghua couldn't tell a Ford Focus from a Ferrari F40.

But now they have no excuse, because they officially know what the badges look like and how much the cars are worth...

This means that prior to deliberately accidentally squeezing through a ridiculously tight space, the driver can think, 'but no, this car is worth five million yuan...I'll hit that Kia instead.'

Car News China says that the insurance policies usually only cover a fraction of the cost of a typical supercar, leaving the remainder of the bill with the guilty party. It means that, were a bus driver to sleepily trundle into a Bugatti Veyron, the bus company could end up with a liability running into millions.

To educate their drives the bus company has filled their offices with posters explaining to their employees “Not what to hit”

The posters were hung on the walls of the company’s offices and serve as a warning to the bus drivers to be very careful when they see a supercar coming around. On the poster the logo’s of various supercar makers and the price of their automobiles. The drivers were called in a meeting and literally educated like a bunch of children on the financial dangers from a bus-supercar crash.

Luckily in the UK, Bus drivers and motorist are a little more careful with their driving, but just in case you come across the occasional idiot, Megavaux will give you the peace of mind that you can repair your Vauxuall cheaply and safely.

The price of replacing car parts...

Aston Martin admirers should take note of this story and possibly feel glad this didn’t happen to them.

A £175,000 Aston Martin DBS lay broken in one of the most exclusive areas in London after thieves targeted the luxury car’s wheels. The car was left stacked up on bricks in Eaton Square, Mayfair earlier on this week.

However, it seems as though the thieves’ scheme to take all four wheels from the car was foiled as pictures show the driver’s rear wheel was left on the car with a rather contorted jack poking out from underneath the car. The metalwork around this wheel was also left damaged.

An Aston Martin expert estimated that the damage could cost up to £30,000 to fix, with the wheels are tyres alone easily costing £4,500 to replace. The body repair work could cost up to £3,500 and as the car was not properly suspended when the wheels were unceremoniously removed, there could be damage to the brake discs which could cost the owner several thousand pounds to repair with one newspaper suggesting a figure of up to £20,000.

In spite of wishing we could afford a posh car like the Aston, at Megavaux, we’re pleased that the Vauxhall parts we supply are available at a less heart-stopping price!
