Turbocharger (T12)

Usage:

Disassemble Turbocharger (T12)

START BY:

a. remove turbocharger (T12)

1. Install the turbocharger on tool (A).

2. Put alignment marks on the housings for correct installation at assembly.

3. Loosen clamp (1). Remove compressor housing (2). Remove the clamp.

4. Remove bolts (3), locks (6) and plates (5).

5. Remove the center section from turbine housing (4).

6. Install tool (C) in tool (B). Install the center section in tool (C) as shown.


NOTICE

When nut (7) is loosened, do not put side force on the shaft. The shaft may bend.


7. Remove nut (7) that holds the impeller to the shaft and wheel assembly.

8. Install tool (D) with the center section on tool (E). Remove impeller (9) with an arbor press (8) and tool (F).

9. Remove shaft and wheel assembly (10), shroud (11) and spacer (13) from center housing (12).

10. Remove bolts (14), locks (15) and plate (16) from the center housing.

11. Remove collar (17) from housing.

12. Remove two bearings (18) and three snap rings (19) from the center housing.

Assemble Turbocharger (T12)

1. Make sure that all of the oil passages in the turbocharger cartridge housing are clean and free of dirt and foreign material.

2. Put clean engine oil on all parts of the cartridge assembly.


NOTICE

Rings (9), (11) and (15) must be installed with the round edge of the outside diameter of the rings toward the bearings.


3. Install snap ring (15), bearing (12) and snap ring (11) in center housing (10). Install snap ring (9) and bearing (8).

NOTE: Put 6V2055 High Vacuum Grease in the groove for seal ring (14) at assembly to one half or more of the depth of the groove all the way around.


NOTICE

Do not cause damage to seal ring (14) when the shaft and wheel assembly is installed.


4. Install shroud (13), and install seal ring (14) on turbine wheel and shaft assembly (16). Install shaft and wheel assembly (16) in the center housing.

5. Install spacer (7) and collar (6).

6. Put plate (5) in position on the center housing. Install bolts (4). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 4.5 ± 0.6 N·m (40 ± 5 lb.in.).


NOTICE

If spacer (3) is installed with its small inside diameter toward the center housing, it will cause a restriction in the flow of oil to the chambers and ring. This will cause a failure to the turbocharger.


7. Install spacer (3). Make sure the small inside diameter of the spacer is toward the impeller end of the shaft and wheel assembly.

8. Put a small amount of clean engine oil on the turbine shaft threads and compressor wheel face that makes contact with the nut. Install nut (2), and tighten it to a torque of 17 N·m (13 lb.ft.) to push compressor wheel (1) on the shaft. Loosen the nut, and tighten it again to a torque of 3.5 N·m (30 lb.in.). Tighten the nut an additional 120° of a turn.

9. Remove the nut from the turbine shaft, and put 6V1541 Quick Cure Primer on the threads of the turbine shaft and nut.

10. Put 9S3265 Retaining Compound on the threads of the shaft and nut. Install the nut, and tighten it to a torque of 3.5 N·m (30 lb.in.). Tighten the nut an additional 120° of a turn.

11. Install turbine housing (17) on tool (A). Install the center section in the turbine housing.

NOTE: Put the alignment marks that were made at disassembly in alignment to make sure the housings are in their original position.

12. Put 5P3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of bolts (21). Install plates (20), locks (19) and the bolts. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 20 ± 1 N·m (15 ± 1 lb.ft.).

13. Install a new O-ring seal (18) on the center housing.

14. Put clamp (23) over the center section. Put compressor housing (22) in alignment with the marks make at disassembly. Put the clamp in position over the housing. Tighten the clamp to a torque of 14 ± 1 N·m (10 ± 1 lb.ft.).

15. Put oil in the center section, and turn the shaft and wheel assembly.

END BY:

a. install turbocharger (T12)
