Turbo Controller Delete - Jeff Liot - 05-15-2017
Guys,
Desperately need some expert information:
Have a Soob EE20 diesel. It comes stock with an IHI variable geometry turbo.
I will only be using this engine in approx 3/4 power setting (around 2700 rpm).
I will never need a fast spool up un the turbo.
My question is: Can I successfully operate this engine with the turbo controller deleted (removed) and the turbo vanes locked in the fully open position? I am new to this turbo stuff and really don't know if I am getting into some sort of overboost situation.
Weird operation conditions are because the engine is going into my airplane.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Jeff

The theoretically best way to do it is to put the engine on an engine dyno and then let the dyno do speed control to 2700 RPM .. and then adjust the turbo vanes by hand (thus with removed controller) until you reach the desired power.
In my opinion, it is better to chose a simple turbo, without variable geometry. because complexity, more area for soot to collect, blablabla...
But it is an interesting question though
let's hear other opinions.
