AIR FLOW SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
TURBOCHARGER
The turbocharger is installed on the exhaust mani-
fold This system utilizes exhaust gas energy to
spin the turbine wheel which
is directly connected
to the compressor wheel The compressor supplies
pressurized air through the throttle chamber into
the intake manifold Thus, the turbocharger in-
creases charging efficiency and thereby increases
power and torque.
To prevent an excessive rise in the supercharging
pressure, the turbine speed
is maintained within a
safe range by controlling the amount of exhaust
gas that passes through the turbine This system
consists of
a by-pass valve which allows some of
the exhaust gas to by-pass the turbine and to flow
directly into the exhaust tube

EMERGENCY RELIEF VALVE
To prevent an abnormal rise in supercharging
pressure, and possible engine damage, in case
the
by-pass valve fails to open properly, an emergency
relief valve
is provided as a safety device on the
intake manifold
