Alright so I have about 6 weeks to for my final project. The project is for my Engineering class and i decided to make a big 16g turbo on Pro Engineer Wild Fire 4.Has anyone ever attempted to do this? because i can use some help if there are any Pro Engineer users.<br>

Like is there a website with all the specs and stuff this would make it alot easier than just measuring everything myself.<br>

Also I will be posting some pics of when i have some work done:D
 
Im sure it would be easier if you had one right in front of you to look at. I took one semester in Pro E but never got real good at it. I always felt like the software was outdated and prefered to use inventer. Good luck though. Post up picks of the progress
 
I've used a lot of 3D modeling, but never used PE (I know, it's like the biggest one, so it doesn't make sense).

I don't know for sure if anyone has any technical drawings, but normally companies don't release drawings with all dimensioning on them. Generally they will release installation drawings which only show dimensions from mounting points. You can measure one out, but that would be very tedious depending on how detailed you want to get. You could probably easily make a model that looks like one, but it most likely won't really be very accurate at all.

I've modeled firepumps (very similar turbine setup) before for a company I worked for, and they are extremely time consuming if you want them to actually be correct.

My suggestion would be just measure some of the outside dimensions yourself of one and just build a model that looks close.

Good luck!
 
yea I used inventor but pro e has some nice features and we only use pro e and solidworks and I know alot of people like solidworks better but I got pro e for free and don't have $150 for solidworks. And I have a 16g in front of me to look at and I have to make it pretty accurate like take it all apart and make all the components.
 
Hey man. I'm only experience with Inventor and AutoCAD. This is an engineering project? What are the requirements? I'd probably just make basic parts such as both cold and hot sides, a shaft housing (nothing special) and then a shaft/rod and 2 rotating turbine blades that go on the end. To get all of the exact dimensions of any turbo would be a headache. But it also depends on how much time you have. I thought about doing this but I haven't had any free time in class because of this F1 Comp we're doing.

yea this what I had in mind too but yea what's hard is getting all the dimensions and was wondering if there was a webpage with some dimensions and I have about 6 weeks and I have an A- in the class so I need a good grade on it :)
I'm gonna start the shaft housing today and I will post some pics later:thumb:
 
What's the goal of your final project? Just a drawing?

LOL. The guy had 6 wks to do this. This was back in April. He probably graduated, started a career and retired, it was so long ago... ROFL
 
I did a compressor wheel back when I was a freshman.

Looks more like a turbine to me; perhaps a TD05HR like an Evo 4-9 turbo uses?
 
This reminds me of an anecdote:

When I was younger my dad had spent 2 years measuring and building pretty much every bolt, washer nut and mounting hardware he would use. That way when he made stuff in the computer, he could use realistic parts to figure out if it would bolt up. Pretty awesome work on Autocad.

Right up til I used the computer. Ever hear of a game called Chips?

I had loaded it, and then tried to delete it. Using the DOS command line. Yes. I typed /delete Chips

Needless to say, the computer, and my dad's hard work were both grenaded.
 
Are there even turbos made (that we'd use) with a 12 blade compressor wheel?

If I'm not mistaken, I think that all the tdo4/5/6 turbos use 12 blade turbine wheels similar to the one pictured. As far as a 12 blade compressor wheel, any double blade 6 blade wheel has 12 blades, but just not full height. Garrett just released a new line of compressor wheels (GTx-R) that use all full height blades that could possibly be 12 full height blades, right now I just know that they have 11 full height blade comp wheels.
 
Good luck with this project.
I use Wildfire 4 daily, and this will not be an easy task by any means.
Especially if you don't have a turbo to pull apart and reverse engineer it.
The hardest part is making the swept blends for the compressor blades.

And yes, the images above look more like a Turbine Wheel to me as well.

Well, come to think of it, you might me able to build the compressor wheel with Surfaces.

I never model using Surfaces, it's my weakest functions in Pro/E.
 
I would really like to get at least an engine bay that's 90% accurate for part mockup and such.
I'm in the cad/cam program now. I just figured some of you may have some files floating around, I understand the value of the files, but unless its part specific its fairly useless unless your trying to do something new with it.
Anyone know where I can get the 2x 4g63 1g that was made with solidworks? I emailed the guy but haven't seen a response, this was months ago.

SoooOo.... anyone have some files I could snag? true dimensions or anything of the sort?
