The Home of Zero Turbo-Lag!
WHY is the
Aerocharger® 2.0 the fastest spooling turbo in the world?

Self Contained lubrication with ceramic ball bearings and VATN

The Aerocharger® 2.0  the fastest spooling turbocharger in the world because our ball bearings are rolling in a mist of special oil allowing for almost no resistance to rotation....that means virtually no Turbo-Lag.

Non-Flooded Ball Bearings and VATN:

  • Conventional ball bearing turbos fill the bearing cavity with engine oil. The flooded cavity restricts the rotation of the balls greatly increasing drag and creating Turbo-Lag.

  • The Aerocharger uses a fine mist of “turbine oil” specifically designed for high speed bearings. The fine mist offers little or no resistance to the rolling ball bearings.

  • Low rolling resistance + variable vane = ZERO Turbo-Lag.

Self-Contained Lubrication System:

  • Provides only a mist for the balls to roll through. Less energy is lost.

  • No high-pressure oil supply or seals to fail.

  • Vertical installations are possible.

  • No water or oil lines.

  • Cold start-ups and hot shut downs are not an issue.

  • Almost no oil leakage to the engine for reduced particulate emissions and no increase in emissions with increased hours of operation.

The above chart explains Turbo-Lag
The secret is out ... now you know why even conventional ball bearing turbochargers still have Turbo-Lag.

  • A 4" journal bearing is requiring over two horsepower just to turn the bearing.

  • A flooded ball bearing is still requiring almost one horsepower to push the balls through the oil.

  • The answer is the Aerocharger® 2.0.  It has balls rolling free in a light mist of oil allowing almost all the power generated by the turbine wheel to be directed to the compressor to make boost.
    Aren't you just a little envious?

  • The extra horsepower required to turn a bearing is coming from the turbine causing back pressure on the exhaust ... NOT good!

  • The bearing drag also means less power to the compressor for boost ... NOT good either!

The Aerocharger® 2.0
has less back pressure on the exhaust and more boost of the engine without noticeable Turbo-Lag ... life is GOOD with boost!

  • The Advanced Aerocharger®

  • Conventional Turbocharger

  • Positive-Displacement Mechanical Supercharger

  • Centrifugal Supercharger.

All the units ended at the same Max Horsepower . . . but one of them came on much earlier than the rest!
Questions: Which one finishes the quarter mile sooner?
Which one exits the corner quicker?
If you were on a snowmobile racing your buddies, who wins?
Come on guys, this isn't rocket science ... it's the Aerocharger®

Now this is a Trick Question . . . which one cost more?
Answer:  It depends - the Aerocharger® 2.0
turbocharger cost more, it has more parts, tolerances and specifications more difficult to manufacture to say nothing of the space-age materials. But what is the answer after you take out the waste gate, pop-off valve, oil lines, coolant lines and consider the ease of installation!

Reliability?
The Aerocharger has spent hours on the test stand (in the field), at high boost levels (ATVs), very dirty environment (Sand Rails), long duration at full throttle (Snowmobiles) and let's not forget the vibration test (H-D Motorcycles). I bet you didn't know the Aerocharger passed a 1000-hour endurance test by a major OEM or that it ran on a continuous duty cycle for over 2 years on a specially modified military piece of equipment.

     A customer melted his piston down. He was developing a kit and got the fuel mixture too lean (not recommended). This is one other reason not to build your own kit but to buy one from one of our dealers.
     Anyway, the piston melted and the engine through piece of molten aluminum at our turbo and it just kept right on doing it's thing without a hiccup. The customer knew that there might be a possible problem with the turbo so he sent it to us for inspection. Except for one slightly bent vane and a fresh coat of aluminum, it was OK.
     You melt'em - we catch'um...by the way there is no warranty for FOD (foreign object damage).

Robust!
