SERVICE MANUALis delivered to the combustion chamber, a greateramount of fuel is required to obtain the correct air-fuelmixture. This increased consumption of fuel at thecorrect air-fuel ratio results in increased power output.Fig. 5. Air and Exhaust Flow In Turbocharged Engine1. Air Intake2. Turbocharger3. ExhaustSERVICE PRECAUTIONSRegardless of their rugged appearance,turbochargers are to be handled with extreme care. Theinternal parts are manufactured to close tolerances andare very sensitive to accumulations of dirt, nicks andscratches.Care must be taken to prevent damage to thecomponents while they are on the workbench.The turbine wheel, compressor impeller, shaftand related parts form a balanced assembly whichrotates at very high speeds.Bending of the turbine or compressor vanes or removalof any vane material during servicing could cause aserious out-of-balance condition which could quicklydestroy the turbocharger.The greater air flow requirements of aturbocharged engine makes it extremely important thatthe air intake system be kept clean. The air cleanermust be serviced at recommended intervals to avoidpower loss due to air cleaner restriction and to preventpossible entry of dirt into the turbocharger and engine.Turbocharging an engine is more than merelybolting on the turbocharger and driving away. Theinstallation must be carefully engineered to provide thebest performance and avoid "overcharging" which couldbe destructive. Also, the engine must be designed tohandle the greater air and fuel flow, higher pressuresand temperatures, and increased torque and poweroutput.After assembly, all openings in the turbochargershould be capped or taped closed, or the entireturbocharger should be encased in a clean polyethylenebag to prevent entry of foreign material. Keep openingscovered until the unit is installed on the engine.To prevent damage to the bearings, theturbocharger must be prelubricated at installation or if theengine has not been operated for a long period of time.To prelubricate the bearings, place 4 to 5 ounces ofclean oil into the turbocharger oil inlet opening.GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CLEANINGPROCEDURES1.Prevent the entrance of foreign material bycovering or plugging all openings into theturbocharger when handling or assembling theunit. Covers must remain in place until theturbocharger is installed and all connections aresecured.2.All connections to the turbocharger (manifoldsand piping) must be clean and free of foreignmaterial, since serious damage to theturbocharger or engine could result. Allconnections must be airtight.3.Exhaust stacks of extra long length and otherfixtures must not be rigidly attached to theturbocharger.4.For initial running when installing a new or rebuiltturbocharger or after the engine has been instorage for 30 days or more or when engine oilfilters have been changed, it is recommendedthat 4 to 5 ounces of oil (same type and grade asused in the crankcase) be put into the oil inletopening in the turbocharger with a squirt can.This will provide sufficient lubrication for theturbocharger bearings until normal engineCTS-4104Printed in United States of AmericaPage 5
