Market

Growing Market

In an effort to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and improve performance, vehicle manufacturers have added turbocharged vehicles to their lineups at a rapid rate. 

  • Ford introduced their first turbocharged EcoBoost engine in 2010. They now produce 9 different turbocharged EcoBoost engines for their vehicle lineup and many vehicles are equipped with two turbochargers.

Service Opportunities

Service Opportunities

The GM 1.4L Ecotec engines may develop an oil leak around the PCV valve and plugs on the front engine cover. (GM Service Bulletins PIP5197/PIO957). The loss of oil can starve the turbocharger of lubrication, causing the turbocharger to fail prematurely.

  • Standard® Pro Training Tip: Before installing a replacement turbo on a GM 1.4L, carefully check for any oil leaks. It is likely that the original turbo failed due to lack of lubrication.

System Overview

System Overview

The turbocharger system converts exhaust gases into centrifugal force by flowing the exhaust through the turbine housing forcing the turbine wheel into motion. As the turbine wheel spins, the compressor wheel on the opposite end of the common shaft draws fresh air into the turbocharger, where it is compressed and forced into the intake system. As the intake air is compressed, it builds heat that must be cooled so the air flows through the intercooler before entering the combustion chamber. The result is more dense air entering the combustion chamber, so more fuel can be added, resulting in better efficiency and more power.

Tech Tips & Impact on Vehicle Systems

As experienced ASE-certified automotive technicians themselves, Standard® Pro Trainers are experts in turbochargers. Here’s what they say to look out for during a turbocharger service or installation.

When a turbocharger fails, the motorist will likely experience a lack of power and reduced fuel mileage. The engine may also begin to operate at higher temperatures.

A turbo failure can send oil and metal debris through the intake. The entire intake system, including the intercooler, should be thoroughly inspected.

Turbos usually don’t fail on their own. The primary causes of turbo failure are contamination and lack of oil.

Air ductwork must be sealed and perfectly clean.

Ensure there is proper lubrication and cooling at the turbo. Bleed fresh engine oil through the new turbo before starting the engine.

Install a new air filter along with an oil change and replace all applicable breathers.
