Rotary Turbos and Turbo bags!
So I changed out my turbo a while ago but never shared why I say
turbo bags are a kuuuuunt @!
on turbo rotaries, here is why....
Perfect tuning, egt never over 950deg C (front and rear same) on up to 36psi boost pressure, see EGT probes conditions after 3+ years and 30,000km of running at ~600bhp for most of this time
This is what will happen to a high nickel content turbine housing when insulated with a turbo bag! LONG TERM!
I appreciate not many people in the rotary don't have the ability/skills to run cars at high power like I do and over multiple years and 10's of thousands of kilometers
but so you don't have to read about it in a text book or some crack pot internet theory here is the proof from someone who actually has done this
Inconel turbine wheel fine, no housing warping
, but very high degradation of the tangential divider and inner and outer surface of the turbine housing as you can see in pictures.
