How to check the pressure of the turbine

In the internal combustion engines of some vehicles installed with the turbocharger. Its role is in the forced air delivery into the engine cylinders, increasing the quality of the combustible mixture, which leads to an increase in power. Turbine is a very fragile mechanism, as it operates at very high temperatures. Often the cause of breakage of the turbine is the pressure drop in the system.

You will need

• Hoses, adaptors and pressure gauge.

Instruction

1. Determine the maximum pressure of the turbineusing the manufacturer's documentation. If information is missing, use the Internet and find out the allowable pressure from the manufacturer.
2. In most cases, to measure pressure can be from the intake manifold. Insights on it are closed by special plugs. Or connect a hose to the nipple of selection pressure. Make sure the header is connected after the throttle.
3. Make sure that the hose does not touch moving elements of the engine. Route the hose into the cabin and connect to the manometer.
4. Start the engine. Warm up the engine to optimal values of the coolant temperature. Do not rush the process of warming up, the engine needs to warm up gradually. It is desirable to warm the fluid to operating temperature on the go.
5. Choose a flat stretch of road. Loosen the engine up to 3000 rpm in 3 or fourth gear. Maintain the engine speed so that the tachometer value does not exceed 3000 rpm To achieve the result, use the brake pedal.
6. Pedal fuel supply to the end and check the indicators on the gauge. If the pressures are at odds with the documentation, perform adjustment of the turbine , or contact a specialized center.
