BB Turbo Installation
Mounting Position
The Axis (refer Figure A) of the Turbocharger Turbine Shaft should be within 10 of
horizontal
Avoid loads imposed by misalignment, vibration, shock and thermal expansion when
attaching or connecting items to the Turbocharger
The Turbine Housing and Compressor Housings can be repositioned to suite different
applications by loosening the Clamp Bolts, V band or Circlip/Retainer that secure each
Housing and rotating the respective Housings to the position required
When altering Compressor or Turbine Housing positions on a Internally Wastegated
Turbocharger greater care should be taken, first disconnect the Actuator Rod End from
the Wastegate Crank Assembly on the Turbine Housing, once moved or disturbed the
Wastegate Actuator Assembly will require re-calibration, relocation of the Actuator
mounting point may be required. (if not re-calibrated correctly engine damage may
occur)
Once the Housings are positioned as required it is important that the Clamp Bolts, V
Band or Circlip/Retainers are re-tensioned correctly, to prevent miss-alignment of
Housings DO NOT attach any hoses or pipping until the re-tensioning process is
complete
Water Cooling
To minimize the effect of Heat Soak and enhance Turbocharger durability Water
Cooling must be connected
The cooling process continues after engine shutdown through the Thermal Siphon effect
associated with a correctly connected Water Cooling System, this means the water
supply should come from the cold side of the vehicles cooling system and the return to
the hot side
