Honor car at 99 the automobile 99 years Young is the theme of this years 51st International Auto show at which takes place from 12 to 22 at the Frankfurt exhibition Center it May come As a Surprise to learn that the automobile has been around for almost 100 years but the show at Frankfurt is stressing that fact with a great degree of Pride because the first workable automobiles came from while no one can claim instant invention of the Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz Are generally credited with creating and manufacturing the first Auto both men producing and patenting Gas burning vehicles in

half an hour from the German autobahn leading to the museum is open daily except tues Days from 11 to 6 Randy Barnett the citroen is is being honoured on its 30th anniversary All you want to know about turbocharging the Chrysler which produces a Large lineup of cars powered by Turbo recently released a report on the Turbocharger and its an swering questions along the heres the Are turbocharged engines reliable do they require special Turbo Oil should the Oil be changed More frequently is it necessary to keep a turbocharged engine idling after you Stop the vehicle Are turbochargers efficient what is Turbo lag Consumers Are asking these questions with increasing frequency now that nearly All manufacturers Are offering vehicles equipped with the Power boosting the answer to most of these according to Carroll Shelby is it All a former racing Driver and be mans designer and is director of the Chrysler Shelby performance Center in Santa be he says that most of today turbochargers function in the same an engines exhaust gases Are used to drive a Turbine wheel connected by a Shaft to a compressor the compressor in air and forces More of the mixture into each of an engines combustion thus increasing the Power produced by the discussing the Turbo Shelby Points out that not All turbochargers Are created equal and this causes confusion for the con the faster a turbocharged engine the faster the exhaust gases drive the sometimes up to revolutions a that can raise temperatures inside the Turbo housing to degrees its How the turbochargers handle the Shelby that creates All the questions about their special oils and if a turbocharged engine is shut Down the heat remaining in the Turbo housing is transferred to the turbochargers without the bearings stay hot enough to break Down the Oil for up to 20 the hot Oil cokes and forms a hard Deposit on the bearings that eventually destroys this is Why some manufacturers recommend More frequent Oil changes for a Turbo charged Why others say to keep the engine idling so that Oil flows through the Turbocharger until it cools and Why Spe Cial and expensive Turbo oils Are being pro Shelby along with another approach is to Waterpool the turbochargers Chrysler corporation uses water from the engine Cooling system to keep the Turbo Charger bearings Cool and to avoid any prob lems from the Oil turbocharging is an efficient Way to get More Power without increasing engine Shelby and since the Turbo really Only goes to work at higher speeds or the rest of the time you get about the same fuel efficiency As you would without Cost efficiency depends on How much you pay and How much you enjoy having the added surge of Power at your Shelby now for two Turbo Turbo lag this is the time it takes from when you step on the accelerator until the increased engine exhaust gases drive the Turbine faster and More air is drawn in to boost the engines Shelby says it is More talked about than real with mod hernday turbochargers and fuel injection systems because with a Good Driver and a Good there is no inter Cooling this is a method of Mak ing turbochargers More it is based on the fact that Cool air occupies less space that hot if the air being compressed by a Turbocharger can be cooled before it is fed into a combustion More air will fit inside the this Means More air and fuel can be combusted on each Cycle and that results in increased inter coolers can raise the horsepower of a turbocharged engine by More than 10 the inter cooler itself looks like a Small installing it is primarily a problem of finding space in the engine compartment where the inter cooler can Best do its Job of Cooling the air after the air comes out of the Turbocharger and be fore it goes into the Chrysler Turbo options
