3D Turbocharger
Been a while since I posted, got a reminder email lol. Currently, I'm building an Oil Free Turbo in 3ds MAX. This is for the Hardcore Modeling Contest #18 on CGTalk.com. The theme for this is "Cutaway".
Here's a link to my WIP thread on CGTalk----> HCM#18 - Turbocharger Started out with the basic shape of the housings and CHRA . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...bo_working.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ut_expload.jpg Built the impellers and bearings... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...o_working3.jpg Since my original shapes were symetrical, I had to go back and correct the housings. Here's the updated compressor housing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...using_wire.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...3d/turbo_2.jpg Then I just had to do some cutting and add the compressor outlet and exhaust inlet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...3d/turbo_8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...3d/turbo_9.jpg Then I started on the Foil Air Bearings that are used in this particular turbo. From left to right - Sleeve, Bump Foil, Top Foil, Journal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../FABearing.jpg Here's a close up with some materials. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ng_closeup.jpg Someone on cgtalk gave me the idea to do an external wastegate. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../wastegate.jpg Just have to connect the wastegate to the uppipe, finish a few other little things, and I think I'll be done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...d/turbo_12.jpg Micah |

WOW!!!!!!!! thats soo good! I wish i could do that, you've done a really good job
|
Wow man, thats unreal. I like the external wastegate idea too. Nice work.
|
thats badass! i'm trying to work on a turbo in solid works atm
|
Thanks for all the comments guys:) I'm pretty happy with it all things considered. It's a little rough in some areas due to the booleans but that's the nature of that.

Nice, you should make a progress thread so we can see. I want to build a Garrett turbo and do the water/oil lines and such. Let me know if you need any help, I got some good reference pics that I posted in my thread on CGTalk, as well as more that I haven't posted. |
