Subject: Turbo charger matching program

Some time ago, an individual wrote a turbo matching program that input variables so that you could somewhat pick a turbo from his included MAPS. It even has a box for rotaries, efficencies, etc. Have you critiqued this program, Paul? It is called TurboCalculator. Anyhow, messing with it, using a 20B engine, the attached turbo came up as shown, it is a Holset HX series Hx25hx25W, whatever that is. The second chart is at an atmospheric pressure of 8 psi, if I rememeber correctly. It allows intercooler performance effeciencies, pressure drops, volumetric efficencies, etc to be thrown in the mix. The dots are at different rpms of the engine......
