Regular filter maintenance is the key to a healthy turbine charger system, offering a host of benefits that keep your engine purring like a well-oiled machine.
Step 1: Before Replacing A Turbo
Step 2: Before Replacing A Turbo
If the engine diagnostic check does not uncover any obvious cause,
The following steps must be strictly followed.
Always consult the workshop manual for instructions which are specific to your engine or vehicle.
Step 3: Turbo Installation
Step 4: Turbo Installation
Step 6: Turbo Installation
It is recommended that you use new air, oil and fuel filters and clean engine oil to the engine or vehicle maker’s specification.
Step 7: Turbo Installation
Before installing the turbo, ensure that all air hoses connected to the turbo are totally clean and show no sign of any damage.
Step 8: Turbo Installation
Step 9: Turbo Installation
Step 10: Turbo Installation
Remove any old gasket material from the exhaust manifold and pipe.
Step 11: Turbo Installation
Position the turbo onto manifold or engine block using the correct new gasket or O ring, and then reconnect the exhaust pipe.
Important Note for Steps 12-15 Pay special attention to oil feed and drain lines, which must be totally clean and have no damage to ensure unrestricted oil flow. Make sure that flexible hose liners have not collapsed internally and that the oil feed line is not too close to source of heat which may have damaged the oil feed line internally. This is common on some vehicles and difficult to detect without cutting the pipe! For this reason, we recommend fitting a new oil inlet pipe when installing the new turbo.
Step 12: Turbo Installation
Next, install oil drain line to the turbocharger.
Step 13: Turbo Installation
Pour new engine oil into the oil inlet hole of the turbocharger.
Step 14: Turbo Installation
Next, fit the new oil feed line.
Step 15: Turbo Installation
Install inlet and outlet air hoses to turbocharger compressor housing.
Crank the engine for 10 – 15 seconds without starting the engine.
Ideally, we also need the turbo part number. The location of this turbo part number, on the turbo as a component, can vary, by turbo/vehicle manufacturer/vehicle marque. To assist you in having this information, readily available, when you call our technical sales staff, we identify below, by turbo manufacturer, where this part number can be found on the turbo component.
It is preferable if you can supply us with the make and part number of the actual turbo fitted to your car (See below for general guidance). If after following the guide you cannot find these details, your main dealer may be able to assist you.
Failing that, we will probably be able to identify the type of turbo you require from the make and model of your car and your registration number. We will need to know:
• Make, eg Audi
• Model, eg A4
• Chassis Number
• Registration number / date of manufacture /model year eg. 2008
• Size of engine, eg 2-litre
LACK OF POWER
NOISY PERFORMANCE
EXCESSIVE SMOKE OR OIL CONSUMPTION
Turbo wheel damage, caused by small objects entering the turbine or compressor housing at high speed, leading to imbalance.
Turbo fatigue cracking and material transfer created by metal friction and high temperatures as a result of oil inlet supply restrictions, incorrect gasket placement and use of liquid gaskets or poor quality lubricants.
Turbo bearing system damage caused by a high concentration of carbon suspended in oil, created by extended oil change intervals or poor maintenance. Bearing damage caused by a steel shot suspended in oil following a major engine overhaul.
Turbo damage caused by working beyond its designed parameters or outside the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Maintenance problems, engine malfunction or unauthorized performance upgrades can push turbo rotating speeds beyond its operating limits, causing fatigue failure or compressor and turbine wheels.
In the world of turbine charger systems, there are three main types of filters that keep everything running smoothly:
1. Air Filters
Air filters shield the system from dust, dirt, and debris, ensuring only clean air enters the combustion chamber for efficient engine operation.
2. Fuel Filters
Fuel filters act as gatekeepers, preventing contaminants from clogging fuel injectors and causing engine misfires or reduced performance.
3. Oil Filters
Oil filters keep the engine well-lubricated by trapping impurities that can cause friction and wear, extending the life of the turbine charger system.
.
Filters in turbine charger systems play a crucial role in keeping the system healthy and happy. They act as the first line of defense, trapping dirt and debris before they wreak havoc on your engine.
* Function of Filters in Turbine Charger Systems
Filters are the unsung heroes that prevent harmful particles from entering the system and causing damage. They ensure only clean air, fuel, and oil make their way into the turbine charger system, maintaining its efficiency and longevity.
* Impact of Clean Filters on System Performance
Clean filters are like a breath of fresh air for your turbine charger system. They allow optimal airflow, prevent contamination, and help the system perform at its best, maximizing power output and fuel efficiency.
