Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) technology enhances turbocharger performance by using adjustable vanes to optimize exhaust flow against turbine blades across different engine RPMs. This innovation addresses the limitations of traditional turbos, providing improved response without changing maximum boost pressure. The first production car to feature VTG was the 1989 Shelby CSX-VNT, showcasing its effectiveness in turbocharged engines.

Variable Turbine

Geometry
technology is the next
generation in turbocharger
technology where the turbo
uses variable vanes to control
exhaust flow against the
turbine blades.
The problem with the
turbocharger that we’ve all come
to know and love is that big
turbos do not work well at slow
engine speeds, while small
turbos are fast to spool but run
out of steam pretty quick. So
how do VTG turbos solve this
problem?
A Variable Turbine Geometry
turbocharger is also known as a
variable geometry turbocharger
(VGT),

or a Variable Nozzle Turbine (VNT).


A turbocharger equipped with
Variable Turbine Geometry has
little movable vanes which can
direct exhaust flow onto the
turbine blades. The vane angles
are adjusted via an actuator. The
angle of the vanes vary
throughout the engine RPM range
to optimize turbine behaviour.
The first production car to use these
turbos was the limited-production
1989 Shelby CSX-VNT, equipped
with a 2.2L(2200cc) Chrysler K
engine. The Shelby CSX-VNT utilized
a turbo from Garrett, called the VNT-
25 because it used the same
compressor and shaft as the more
common Garrett T-25. This type of
turbine Is called a Variable Nozzle
Turbine or Variable Geometry
Turbine.
Below, you can see the vanes in a angle which is
almost closed. Variable vanes are highlighted.
The VGT vanes look like when they are open.
In this diagram, you can see the direction of exhaust
flow when the variable vanes are in an almost closed
angle. The narrow passage of which the exhaust gas
has to flow through accelerates
the exhaust gas towards
the turbine blades,
making them spin
faster. The angle of
the vanes also
directs the gas to
hit the blades at the
proper angle.
Diagram shows the exhaust gas flow when the variable
turbine vanes are fully open. The high exhaust flow at high
engine speeds are fully directed onto the turbine blades by
the variable vanes.
