Turbo Size Calculator — Find the Right Turbo for Your Engine

Turbo Size Calculator

Calculate the optimal turbo size for your engine based on displacement, RPM, target boost, and other factors. Find the perfect turbo for your performance goals.

Understanding Turbo Sizing

Proper turbo sizing is critical for achieving your performance goals. A turbo that’s too small will choke at high RPM, while one that’s too large will have excessive lag. This calculator helps find the optimal balance.

About Volumetric Efficiency

Volumetric efficiency measures how effectively an engine can move air through its cylinders. Modern engines typically range from 80-95% efficiency. Lower values are common for older or modified engines.

Airflow vs Boost Pressure

Turbo Sizing Formula

Airflow = (Displacement × RPM × VE × PR) / 5660

This formula calculates the required airflow in CFM (cubic feet per minute) where PR is the pressure ratio (atmospheric pressure + boost pressure / atmospheric pressure). Actual turbo selection should consider additional factors like turbine housing, compressor maps, and application specifics.
