Introduction
Description and Operation of Turbocharger

General Information
A turbocharger is a mechanical device which uses the engines exhaust gases to force more air into the engine
cylinders. Hot exhaust gas energy is used to turn a turbine wheel and shaft. At the other end of the shaft is the
compressor impeller (or compressor wheel), which draws in air and forces it into the engine cylinders.
Supplying increased air mass flow to the engine provides improved engine performance, lower exhaust smoke
density, improved operating economy and altitude compensation. The turbocharger has proven to be one of the
most beneficial devices for improving engine performance. It performs its job very well, as long as it is properly
cared for.
Introduction to Turbocharger Matching

The need for optimised matching over the engine speed range
A standard turbocharger can be perfectly matched to only one particular engine condition, eg maximum torque
speed or maximum load speed. At this engine speed, the turbocharger supplies the optimum mass of air to
give the required air/fuel ratio. At other speeds the air/fuel ratio cannot be held at the optimum hence fuel
consumption and emission levels worsen.
Engine emission legislations have forced manufacturers to improve their engine efficiencies, particularly at low
speeds where low air/fuel ratios cause high smoke levels.
The Holset turbocharger is carefully matched to meet the required engine characteristics during application
engineering. It is important that this match is maintained by using only Holset original turbine and compressor
parts.
The importance of correctly servicing the turbocharger

A turbocharger requires accurate assembly at point of manufacture. It is very important to adhere to setting
limits when servicing the turbocharger, as failure to do so could result in turbocharger or engine failure.
Effects of wrong match

Possible consequences if turbocharger boost pressure is too low: Engine runs fuel rich
Fuel consumption increase
Exhaust temperature increase
Smoke levels increase
Hydrocarbon levels increase
Risks of failing emissions tests
High cylinder temperature risks

damage to engine pistons
Possible consequences if turbocharger boost pressure is too high:
Engine runs fuel weak (lean)
Nitrous oxide levels increase
Excessive boost overspeeds

turbocharger
Turbocharger bearing failure and

wheel fatigue problems
Increased cylinder pressure risks damage

to engine head gasket, pistons and valves
Intercooler load increases causing engine

to overheat, risking piston damage

Introduction
Notes, Cautions and Warnings

Notes, Cautions and Warnings are used in this manual to emphasise important or critical instructions.
Note
Information which is essential to highlight.
Caution
Maintanence or Service procedures which if not strictly followed, will result in damage or destruction of the
turbocharger.
Warning
Maintanence or Service procedures which if not correctly followed will result in personal injury or loss of life.
Note
Holset turbochargers can be remanufactured using recovered parts. Where it is necessary to dispose of
components or whole turbochargers, an environmentally responsible process such as recycling should be
used, with due regard to local laws.
Note
Holset Service receives many turbocharger returns that are no fault found. Before assuming the turbocharger
is not performing to specification always refer to the engine diagnostic system and the troubleshooting
diagnostic procedures of this manual.
Warning
Turbocharger surface temperature during operation can achieve 700C (1300F). The designated
turbocharger range weighs up to 4.8 kg (10.6 lb) and is fitted with external parts that are sensitive to manual
handling.
Caution
This turbocharger requires a new standard of balancing process on rebuild using a proprietary vibration
sorting rig (VSR).
The turbocharger will not have any co-relation marks. If you intend to overhaul/repair the turbocharger, and
do not have access to a VSR machine, we recommend that you send the reassembled core in appropriate
packaging to protect the turbine and compressor blades to an approved Holset agent with VSR facilities.
As the results of vibration based tests are rig specific, the balance limits shown in Holsets Service Data
Sheets are advisory only. Refer to repair agent to warrant durability, noise and vibration level of the specific
VSR balancing process used.
If you are in any doubt regarding the balancing process, please contact the local Holset agent for assistance.
Warning
Some parts are manufactured in Viton that requires special treatment in the case of repair and service after
fire.

Introduction
Installation Data
1.
Holset Service receives many turbocharger returns that are no fault found. Before assuming the
turbocharger is not performing to specification always refer to the engine diagnostic system and the fault
finding chart of this manual to make all the recommended health checks.
2.
It is important that intake and exhaust systems are fitted in accordance with the recommendations of
the Equipment and Engine manufacturers. Limiting mass inertia loading is critical to turbocharger whole
life operation. Maximum engine vibration input must not exceed 8.9g.
3.
The air filter must remove particles greater than 5 m at an efficiency of 95% and be of sufficient
capacity to match the air consumption of the engine. Recommended filters should always be used with
a pressure drop indicator. Intake systems must be capable of withstanding depressions up to 6.9 kPa
(1.0 lbf/in2).
4.
Hose and clip connections of intake manifold systems must be capable of withstanding the
turbocharger pressure ratio. V band clamps are preferred and must be used above 3:1 pressure ratio.
5.
Exhaust systems must be capable of operating at exhaust back pressures of up to 10 kPa (1.5 lbf/in2).
This limit is increased to 13.4 kPa (2.0 lbf/in2) if a catalytic converter is fitted. Exhaust brake
applications are permitted to impose 450 kPa (65.3 lbf/in2) back pressure.
6.
Oil should be filtered to 10m with efficiency of 60% TWA (Time Weighted Average) /20 m with
efficiency of 85% TWA. Efficiency assessed using ISO Standard 4572/SAE J 1858.
7.
The oil quality must be as specified by the engine manufacturer and will be a minimum API SE - CD
(MIL - L- 2104C) specification. Recommended oil change intervals are 5000 to 10,000 km (250 to 500
h) depending on duty. Improved life can be obtained by using super high performance diesel (SHPD)
oils, particularly in industrial applications which use extended oil drain periods.
8.
Normal oil temperature is 95+/-5C (203+/-9F). It should not exceed 120C (248F) under any operating
condition.
9.
Any pre-lube oil must be clean and meet the minimum CD classification.
10. The attitude of turbine housing, bearing housing and compressor cover is fixed. During installation, do
not attempt to rotate these components. Inclined turbocharger installation is not recommended. If an
installed angle is necessary, oil inlet centreline must be +/- 10 degrees from vertical and rotor centreline
+/- 5 degrees from horizontal.
11. Holset permits oil return pipes to decline at an overall angle of not less than 30 degrees below horizontal.
All turbocharger applications require a pipe of internal diameter greater than 14 mm which has integrated
connectors. To ensure oil returns into the engine under all operating conditions, the return connection into
the engine sump must not be submerged and the outlet flange of the turbocharger must be 50mm above
the maximum oil level of the engine sump pan. Crankcase pressure should be limited ideally to 0.8 kPa
(0.12 lbf/in2) but 1.4 kPa (0.20 lbf/in2) can be accepted by reference to Holset.
12. Oil pressure of 150 kPa (20 lbf/in2) must show at the oil inlet within 3 - 4 seconds of engine firing to
prevent damage to turbocharger bearing system. A flexible supply pipe is recommended. Turbocharger
speed must not exceed 90,000 rev/min until 150 kPa (20 lbf/in2) is achieved.
13. The minimum oil pressure when the engine is on load must be 210 kPa (30 lbf/in2). Recommended full
load rated speed operating pressure is 350 kPa (50 lbf/in2) although 500 kPa (72 lbf/in2) is permitted
during cold start up. Under idling conditions pressure should not fall below 80 kPa (11.5 lbf/in2).
14. Recommended oil flows for the turbochargers are 0.4 litre/min at idle and 1.4 litre/min at maximum engine
speed.
15. Do not use liquid gasket substances or thread sealant as any excess can enter the turbocharger oil to
obstruct flow.
Note:
100 kPa = 1 bar (14.5037 lbf/in2 = psi).

turbocharger. The procedures for HX25W
turbocharger are identical although the detail design
of the actuator feed pipe spigot and the pipe run are
different.
4:15
Wastegate Mechanism Check

Carefully move the lever arm up and down. If the arm
moves freely by hand, then re-check for movement of
actuator rod.
Apply an air pressure of 300 kPa (45 lbf/in2) to the
actuator spigot inlet. If the rod does not move, replace
the actuator with a pre-set replacement kit (74).
If the lever arm is seized, the turbine housing will
require replacement. However, it may be possible to
free the lever arm.
Soak wastegate valve and lever mechanism in

penetrating oil.
Warning
Always wear safety glasses.
Some turbine housing options do not have open access

to the wastegate valve but, with care, soaking with
penetrating oil may still be possible.
Caution
Extra care must be taken when attempting to free the
valve mechanism. Any damage will result in the
replacement of the turbine housing.
Clamp a pair of mole (vice) grips to the lever and gently
apply pressure to rotate the lever arm in an arc.
If this process does not free the lever, pin and valve
mechanism, a new turbine housing must be fitted.
4:16
Caution
If the wastegate valve mechanism shows any fault, it
must be replaced. Using damaged turbine housings
will lead to inferior performance of the turbocharger,
and risk of irreparable damage to both turbocharger
and engine.
Radial cracks can occur around the valve seat when
the turbocharger has been abused or overheated.
Lever arm pin can be worn by partial seizure of the

valve mechanism. Scoring may be caused by arduous
local environmental conditions.
The same failure conditions can also lead to elongation

of the actuator rod bore which locates on the lever arm
pin. This must not exceed 0.5 mm (0.020 in).
Caution
If the actuator shows any fault, it must be replaced.
4:17
Wastegate Actuator Replacement

Caution
Contact your local approved agent for the correct
replacement actuator kit (74). It is important to quote
the correct turbocharger assembly number to ensure
supply of the correct pre-set actuator.
Note
When refitting existing actuator the end link will be
locked in the correct setting.
Thread new end link several turns on to the shaft of the

new pre-set actuator assembly.
Hold the actuator assembly with the spine of the spacer
piece upright. Rotate the valve mechanism lever arm to
close the wastegate valve (pushed towards the
compressor end). Fit end link over the lever arm pin.
Attempt to slide the actuator bracket over its retaining
lugs. If the actuator bracket fouls on the lugs or there is
significant clearance between bracket and lugs,
actuator rod length requires adjustment.
To adjust the length of the actuator assembly, remove

from the turbocharger. Rotate the end link to shorten or
lengthen the rod as appropriate. Re-fit, until the
underside of the actuator bracket will just fit over the
mounting lugs with less than 0.5 mm (0.020 in) gap.
Caution
Do not apply force to push the actuator on to its
mounting lugs.
The rod length setting is correct if, by rotating end link
clockwise by a half turn, the actuator bracket fouls on
the lugs.
4:18
M8 (12 mm)
Fit actuator mounting fasteners with washers and
torque tighten to the value shown in the
Service Data Sheet.
Warning
Always wear safety glasses when fitting wastegate
actuator.

Loosen spacer piece by turning jam-nut anti-clockwise
(counter-clockwise). Remove and discard tie wrap and
spacer piece.
Continue turning jam-nut in the same direction, and
torque tighten against end link to value shown in
Service Data Sheet.
New pre-set actuator kits (74) may be supplied with a

tamper resistant break off nut (143) instead of a jam nut
(128). To install a tamper resistant actuator:
1. Slacken the shear nut from the spacer spine
2. Continue to turn the nut until it contacts the pre-set
end link
3. Continue tightening until the hex flats break off
leaving only the cone section in tight contact with
the end link.
4:19
Refit the air supply hose with new clips (75). Clips
should be crimped closed using pinsers. Crimp gap will
vary due to spring back and hose type but will not be
less than 0.6 mm (0.025 in).
Suitable alternative hose clamps can be used.
Caution
Before mounting turbocharger on engine, check for
full and free wastegate movement.
Caution

Pre-set Wastegate Actuator Reassembly

Caution
Contact your local approved dealer for the correct
replacement actuator kit (74). It is important to quote
the correct turbocharger assembly number, serial
number and type to ensure the supply of the correct
pre-set actuator.
Note
When refitting existing actuator the end link (76) will
be locked in the correct setting.
