1) Before you begin to remove the turbo, it is recommended that you allow the engine to run until it is at the functional temperature, before turning it off and draining the engine oil extremely carefully (due to hot temperatures).
How do you drain oil from a blown Turbo?
Oil typically drains into the #2 and #3 cylinders after a blown turbo because of the shape of the intake pipe. Pull those glow plugs before even LOOKING at that ignition key! Turn that motor one rotation, and you will have bent the rods. -Remove the glow plugs and PULL THE MOTOR THRU BY HAND.
How to replace a turbo?
When you replace the turbo, make sure you replace the oil feed lines as well unless you want to be replacing the turbo again very shortly. As Turbo Noob said, it’ll be stuck on quite good. Don’t use too much force and also you may want to just accept that you’ll snap a couple bolts and possibly need to drill and tap the threads.
What happens if you put too much oil in a turbocharger?
As the turbocharger is still supplied with oil from the engine circuit, the oil then escapes to the turbine or compressor. • If the engine is supplied with too much oil, the oil can no longer flow back out of the oil return line into the oil pan (Fig. C). The crankshaft also splashes up the oil.
What happens if a turbocharger is not heated?
• If the oil used is not sufficiently temperature-resistant, the oil supply line of the turbocharger and the oil bores in the bearing housing of the turbocharger can become carbonized. • If the engine was turned off while hot, the oil supply line can become carbonized, which means the turbocharger is no longer supplied with enough oil.
What can damage turbocharger?
Most failures are caused by the three ‘turbo killers’ of oil starvation, oil contamination and foreign object damage. More than 90% of turbocharger failures are caused oil related either by oil starvation or oil contamination. Blocked or leaking pipes or lack of priming on fitting usually causes oil starvation.
What should you never put in a turbocharger?
Such items include loose bolts, injection nozzle fragments, compensator bellow bits, welding electrode stumps, wrenches and screwdrivers, rags or any other foreign objects. Due to the extreme service speed of a turbocharger, even minute particles may damage vital parts and lead to severe damage.
Can sand damage a turbocharger?
You can imagine that at those speeds, damage accumulates incredibly quickly. Since the tips of the blades move at a speed of around 2000 km/h, any object that enters the turbochargers, even as small as grains of sand, can damage a turbocharger enough to make it perform incorrectly or fail instantly.
What happens if you put oil in a turbocharger?
This will cause the remaining oil in the turbocharger to “soak” the heat increasing the likelihood of oil coking which means that the oil will burn and leave particles in the bearing system and on the shaft. This will damage the bearings and the cartridge could become noisy due to this. TIP!
Does oil have to be changed when replacing turbo?
If your turbo is damaged and needs replacing, it is quite possible that the oil has become contaminated and you should always change it and the oil filter before fitting a new turbo.
How often should I change my engine oil?
Depending on vehicle age, type of oil and driving conditions, oil change intervals will vary. It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
What happens if a turbocharger is not lubricated?
As a result, not only the engine, but also the turbocharger, receives an inadequate oil lubrication and oil cooling. • If the oil used is not sufficiently temperature-resistant, the oil supply line of the turbocharger and the oil bores in the bearing housing of the turbocharger can become carbonized.
Why does a turbocharged engine need a lot of oil?
In turbocharged engines, the oil serves two purposes—ccleaning and lubricating the engine and ensuring the turbocharger is working smoothly. For this reason, many turbocharged engines require more oil than naturally aspirated engines. Using too little oil in a turbocharged engine can damage both the engine and the turbocharger.
Is it time to replace turbine oil?
Replacing turbine oil is expensive and carries risk. Understanding what conditions determine the end of life of the fluid ensures that its life is optimized without exposing your equipment to damage by using the oil for too long.
