HE341Ve Service Manual Introduction
Description and Operation of Turbocharger
1:2
General Information
A turbocharger is a mechanical device which uses the engine’s 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 Variable Geometry Turbochargers
The need for Variable Geometry
The turbocharger on your vehicle’s engine is of a very advanced type, which varies the effective size of its
turbine in response to the driver’s demands. Under all conditions of driving, the turbine is electronically
controlled to change the amount of air supplied to the engine, to ensure maximum performance, lowest fuel
consumption and minimum exhaust emission levels.
When rapid vehicle acceleration is required, the turbocharger will produce air for the engine more quickly than
a conventional unit, thus eliminating turbocharger lag and giving improved vehicle drivability. As the engine and
turbocharger run in, and eventually start to wear, the combination of the variable turbine and its associated
electronic control, will change its characteristic to keep to the original performance and emission levels over a
wide range of ambient temperatures and altitude.
The importance of correctly installing a V ariable Geometry turbocharger
The bearing housing of your turbocharger and the variable geometry actuator both contain an internal liquid
cooled jacket. The purpose of these is to reduce the operating temperature of the housings, to improve the
operating environment of the position sensor and DC motor and reduce the high soak temperatures produced
when the engine is switched off after being heavily loaded. The addition of liquid cooling has meant that there
are two pairs of pipe connections to the turbocharger, to bring coolant to the housings and to take it away. It is
important to observe the correct installation of these pipes, so that the circulation of the coolant is in the correct
direction, or the effectiveness of the cooling system will be lost and severe damage may result.

HE341Ve Service Manual Introduction
1:3
The advantages of a Variable Geometry (VG) Turbocharging system
You may already have experience of the effect of a Wastegate turbocharger on the performance of your
vehicle.
The advantage of Variable Geometry over a Wastegate system is that all the exhaust gas flows through the
turbine wheel to increase net turbine power output. In addition, turbine power can be set to provide just
sufficient energy to drive the compressor at the desired boost level wherever the engine is operating. Speed,
actuator position and pressure sensors feedback information to the Engine Control Module to provide the
necessary control. As the name suggests a Wastegate turbocharger allows exhaust gas to by-pass the turbine
wheel. This by-passed gas contains energy which is lost to the turbine wheel. Wastegate turbochargers have
no feedback controls.
The Holset VG system works by controlling the width of a nozzle guiding the gas flow into the turbine wheel.
Control is achieved using an electric actuator powered by the vehicle system. The Engine Control Module
continually senses the position of the actuator mechanism, engine operating condition and driver demands. It
signals the actuator DC motor to move the actuator rod to a new position which slides the nozzle ring and
blades relative to the fixed shroud plate. This movement varies the area through which exhaust gas enters the
turbine wheel blades.

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
Maintenance or Service procedures which if not strictly followed, will result in damage or destruction of the
turbocharger.
Warning
Maintenance or Service procedures which if not correctly followed will result in personal injury or loss of life.
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 700°C (1300°F). The designated
turbocharger weighs up to 18.3 kg (40.5 lb) and is fitted with external parts that are sensitive to manual
handling. They include electrical wiring and connectors.
Caution
This variable geometry turbocharger has been factory balanced using the core balance process.
Service overhaul/repair must be carried out by Holset Engineering to ensure the variable geometry system is
correctly rebuilt. It is important to note that operating a turbocharger with rotor or core balance level greater
than design limits could cause turbocharger or engine failure.
Warning
Some parts are manufactured in fluoroelastomers (eg Viton) or similar that require special treatment in the case
of repair and service after fire.
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.
Caution
Orientation of the turbine housing of a variable geometry turbocharger is factory set. Any attempt to
re-orientate the housing can cause severe damage to the VG mechanism and may void warranty.

HE341Ve Service Manual Introduction
Installation Data
1:5
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 10g.
3. The air filter must remove particles greater than 5μm 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/in
2
).
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/in
2
).
This limit is increased to 13.4 kPa (2.0 lbf/in
2
) if a catalytic converter is fitted. Exhaust brake applications
are permitted to impose 450 kPa (65.3 lbf/in
2
) back pressure.
6. Oil should be filtered to 10μm with efficiency of 60% TWA (Time Weighted Average) /20 μm 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. 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+/-5°C (203+/-9° F). It should not exceed 120°C (248°F) under any operating
condition.
9. Any pre-lube oil must be clean and meet the minimum CD classification.
10. The orientation of turbine housing, bearing housing and compressor cover is fixed according to
application. During installation, do not attempt to rotate these components as it may affect the operation of
the variable geometry actuating mechanism and may void warranty. 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 19 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 50 mm
above the maximum oil level of the engine sump pan. Crankcase pressure should be limited ideally to 0.8
kPa (0.12 lbf/in
2
) but 1.4 kPa (0.20 lbf/in
2
) can be accepted by reference to Holset.
12. Oil pressure of 150 kPa (20 lbf/in
2
) 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.
13. The minimum oil pressure when the engine is on load must be 210 kPa (30 lbf/in
2
). Normal maximum
operating pressure is 500 kPa (72 lbf/in
2
) although 600 kPa (88 lbf/in
2
) is permitted during cold start up.
Under idling conditions pressure should not fall below 70 kPa (10 lbf/in
2
).
14. Recommended oil flows for the turbochargers are 2 litre/min at idle and 3 litre/min above maximum torque
speed.
15. Ensure recommended coolant flows for the separate turbocharger and actuator circuits are achieved:
Turbocharger: 3 litre/min at idle and 5 litre/min above max torque speed
Actuator: 1 litre/min at idle and 3 litre/min above max torque speed
16. Do not use liquid gasket substances or thread sealant as any excess can enter the turbocharger oil
and coolant systems to obstruct flow.
Note:
100 kPa = 1 bar (14.5037 lbf/in
2
=psi).
