Turbocharger Installation Rules
Safety rules:
- During and after work, the surfaces of the turbocharger are hot, do not touch them during this period. Allow time for the turbocharger to cool after an operation.
- Handle the turbocharger with the appropriate care, only lifted by the end housing. Take extra care when handling electronic actuator turbochargers. These can be damaged easily through impact.
- Do not disconnect the air intake pipe whilst the turbocharger is in operation.
- Do not touch rotating parts during operation.
Turbocharger installation rules:
- Before installing a new turbocharger, diagnose the cause of the failure of the previous turbocharger to avoid the same failure in the new turbocharger.
- Failure to follow the installation guidelines will void the warranty.
- Make sure all turbocharger air hoses and air filters, and housing are clean and undamaged.
- Make sure the breather system is clean and functioning correctly.
- The exhaust manifold and pipe must be cleaned of the remains of the old gasket. The surface under the seal must not be damaged.
- Remove the plastic caps/plugs from the turbocharger prior to installation and make sure there is no debris at the end housing and oil supply/outlet. Prevent objects from falling into the housing.
- Before assembly, prime the turbocharger with oil. This will ensure the proper level of lubrication during start-up. Turbochargers can fail in seconds if not properly primed. Rotate the compression wheel a few times to allow oil to flow into the bearing system. Slight radial movement is normal.
- Use appropriate new gaskets on every installation. Gaskets must not restrict oil drain/feeds. Never use a liquid gasket, especially on the oil inlet/drain. Use the correct nuts and bolts and tighten them properly.
- It is recommended to replace the oil supply and drain lines. They must be clean, undamaged, and unobstructed.
- Keep the oil supply lines away from heat sources.
- Change all filters: air, fuel, and oil. Change the engine oil.
- The engine oil level must be checked, overfilling of the engine oil may cause leaks.
- Make sure oil feed and drain hoses are properly installed.
- Reconnect all other external components to the turbocharger.
- Run the engine crank for 15 seconds without starting the engine to prime the oil feed without starting the engine.
- Start the engine idle for approximately 3 minutes. Check for leaks in air, oil, and exhaust systems before applying load after installation. Turbochargers can leak a small amount of oil on idle due to a lack of pressure in the end housing.
- Make sure actuators are functioning properly.
- Stop the engine and check the oil level (it should be between the minimum and maximum levels).
