how do turbos work?

[mellow]

so like, whats the black part i can attach things to for? like the exhaust part, i can attach it to other turbo to increase eficency or somthing?

if you mean the Inline Turbocharger, yes, it increases efficiency of a carburator, the more exhaust gases flow through it,
but you cant make an infinity loop, that should be patched if I remember correctly

so whats diference of normal and inline?
and exhaust gas only come from cylanidr? any come from turbo?

The dif between the two types of turbochargers is just the shape. You can direct gas in-to/out-of either connection at the black end. The connector at the white end must always connect to a carb. Either connector at the black end can connect directly to a cylinder (not optimal), or to a pipe (optimal with a lot of gas already passing through it), or directly to another turbo. The other connector at the black end will exhaust the gas.

When designing a turbo engine, I suggest gathering as much gas as you can in to a single pipe flow, then connect that to a chain of turbocharges connected to carbs. Doing this will increase the bonus on all the chain connected turbos.

Gas only originates from cylinders, but passes through pipes and turbos, and should flow to a pipe with a clear exit outside of the hull for best performance.

ok so i confused now, where to plug turbo in, to put gas into turbo from another pipe? cause i cant put pipe on white part.. so it confuse me

Here's an example. The green pipes gather the gas, the blue pipes route the gas through the turbo chain: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862257160

ok but how to get gas out of turbo after it goes in? cause there only one place to connect a pipe on a turbo

[Mortazel]

See the yellow pipes in this pic? Those are the two connections at the black end: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=888680646

but one end need to go in cylander so how you get gas back into it then?

[Mortazel]

Nope - like i said above...
Either connector at the black end can connect directly to a cylinder (not optimal), OR to a pipe (optimal with a lot of gas already passing through it), OR directly to another turbo. The other connector at the black end will exhaust the gas.

oh thnx i understand now :)

do amount of gas i put into a turbo stop making a diference after cetain amount?

[Mortazel]

Yes, the max turbo bonus is 3.93 per turbo.

[Mortazel]

How'd it go with making a engine?

[mellow]

oh like i figured out how it works but i used super charger + electric instead, super charger is 600 somthing power per fuel
i have 4 of them, 4000 power each but i set to 10% each (maybe i set to even less), with rtg the bateries almost stay full (i use for jet engines)

[Mortazel]

Superchargers work well at low RPMs, and are much easier to setup than turbochargers. Glad you got something to work for you! =)
