WH2D Service Repair 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 Wastegate Turbochargers
The need for wastegated turbochargers
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 integral wastegate turbocharger is a cost effective solution to this problem and for a small increase
in complexity, a simple variable flow turbine housing has been achieved.
Integral wastegate turbochargers have been available for passenger cars for many years. Holset has
developed
such a turbocharger with components designed for extended life equal to that of standard commercial vehicle
turbochargers.
The importance of correctly servicing the wastegate actuator mechanism
A wastegate turbocharger requires accurate setting 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 setting
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 bearing failure and
turbocharger wheel fatigue problems
• Increased cylinder pressure risks damage • Intercooler load increases causing engine
to engine head gasket, pistons and valves to overheat, risking piston damage

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 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 range weighs up to 21.7 kg (47.2 lb) and is fitted with external parts that are sensitive to manual
handling.
Caution
This turbocharger has been manufactured using piece part and rotor balance processes and MUST be
check balanced on rebuild.
If you intend to overhaul/repair a rotor balanced turbocharger, ensure that all the rotor parts have co-relation
marks prior to disassembly so that they can be reassembled in the same relative positions.
Balance limits for turbocharger rebuild are shown on Holset’s Service Data Sheet.
It is important to note that operating a turbocharger with a rotor or core balance level greater than the
published limits could cause turbocharger or engine failure. If you are in any doubt regarding the balancing
process, please contact an approved Holset agent for assistance.
Caution
Never remove the wastegate actuator or mounting bracket from the turbine housing, unless the actuator is to
be renewed. It is possible to leave the turbine housing, bracket and actuator as an assembly while servicing
the turbocharger.
Never adjust the link-rod of an assembled wastegate turbocharger. The link-rods are set by the O.E. supplier
to precise limits which must be adhered to.
Always check that the actuator and wastegate mechanism is still in good working order, before proceding with
disassembly of your wastegate turbocharger.
Warning
Some parts are manufactured in fluoroelastomers (e.g. Viton) or similar that requires special treatment during
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.

WH2D Service Repair Manual Introduction
Installation Data
1:4
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 wholelife
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. 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
). Maximum
permissible operating pressure is 400 kPa (58 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 3 litre/min at idle and 3.5 - 4.5 litre/min above maximum
torque speed.
15. Do not use liquid gasket substances or thread sealant as any excess can enter the turbocharger oil
system to obstruct flow.
16. Recommended coolant flows for the turbochargers are 3 litre/min at idle and 10 - 14 litre/min above
maximum torque speed.
Note:
100 kPa = 1 bar (14.5037 lbf/in
2
=psi).
