Before Installation
● Understand why the turbocharger needs replacing, determine the cause of any failure and rectify it before fitting a replacement unit.
● Ensure that the turbocharger is fitted to your engine, or the warranty will be invalid due to the wrong application.
● Ensure the engine intake/exhaust systems are clean and without foreign objects (free from oil, gasket pieces, dust, dirt, carbon or other debris). Replace air filter if necessary.
● Ensure the oil inlet and outlet flanges are clean and free from obstruction, internal carbon and sludge. Replace the new ones if necessary.
● Replace the oil & filter, ensuring that only OEM recommended parts and specified oil are used (oil level ≥ 40CF).
During Installation
● The orientation of the end housings may need changing in order to align correctly with all other connections. If so, ensure all fastenings are tightened to the specified torque.
● Mount the turbocharger on the exhaust flange, check that the turbine inlet gasket fits correctly to give a gas tight seal.
● Fill the turbocharger oil feed hole with the clean oil (see Figure below), and slowly rotate the rotor by hand to make the oil reaches to all the bearings.
● Start the engine and idle checking that all air, gas and oil connections are tight and free from leakage.
Attention
● Never take the turbocharger wastegate brackets as the lifting handle during transportation or installation.
● Where wastegate brackets are connected to the compressor cover, the orientation of the end housings relative to each other, must not be changed.
● Avoid any foreign objects into the turbocharger, during removing and installing one unit.
● Start the engine, idle for 3-5 minutes before loading up, to make sure of good lubrication of turbocharger.
● Turn off the engine after idling 3-5 mins, to avoid overheating, oil coking and bearing damage problems.
● Regular inspection and good driving habits can effectively extend the lifetime of a turbocharger.
