A new aftermarket K26 marine turbocharger for selected Volvo Penta 41-series, KAD / KAMD42, KAD / KAMD43, KAD / KAMD44 and KAD / KAMD300 diesel engines.

🔌 Function

  

The turbocharger supplies compressed air to the engine intake and works with the mechanically driven supercharger on applicable KAD and KAMD engines to provide strong low-speed response and higher-speed boost.

  

Common signs of turbocharger failure:

  

• Reduced acceleration after the supercharger disengages

• Engine cannot reach rated rpm

• Black smoke under load

• Blue smoke or excessive oil consumption

• Turbo whistle, siren or scraping noise

• Oil inside the compressor housing

• Wastegate or boost-control problems where fitted

• Excessive turbine or compressor shaft movement

• Corrosion damage in the turbine housing

  

Installation considerations:

  

• Confirm the engine production date and original turbo data plate

• Check whether the engine is pre- or post-1993 turbo configuration

• Replace engine oil and filter

• Inspect the oil-feed and oil-return pipes

• Clean the charge-air cooler and intake system

• Check the supercharger, bypass flap and associated controls where fitted

• Inspect the exhaust elbow for corrosion or restriction

• Prime the turbo bearing housing with clean engine oil

• Replace mounting gaskets and oil-line seals

• Confirm boost pressure under full loaded operation
