00:00 - There are a number of causes for turbochargers failing, and one of them is actually the process of installing a new turbocharger. Terrain Tamers has developed an extensive and comprehensive turbocharger kit that instil confidence in changing out the turbochargers, ensuring minimal warranty comebacks.
00:26 - When a mechanic changes a turbocharger, the oil supply line often needs to be moved out of the way. This makes perfect sense, given that the flexible line is exposed to the heat of the exhaust. However, there's a potential issue. The oil flowing through this line can build up choking on the inside. If the line is moved during installation, it disrupts the coke. Starting the engine can then cause this coke to travel into the turbocharger bearings, potentially leading to the destruction of the brand-new turbocharger.
00:57 - As an interesting side note, in the five-cylinder Ford Rangers with their number one bearing journal, there is a filter in the supply line to the turbocharger and timing chain gears. If this filter clogs up, it can result in common turbocharger and timing chain failures.
01:17 - Another area of concern is the air filtration side. Dust particles, if they bypass the filter or pass through it, can impact the compressor wheel, causing abrasion damage. Additionally, if the filter blocks airflow, the compressor can't get the air it needs. This may lead to drawing engine oil from the seal into the intake system, inevitably causing damage to the motor over time.
01:45 - Low-quality air filters present another common cause of failure. Filters that either allow too much dust and particulates in or don't allow enough airflow through them can result in issues. Using good quality products ensures better performance and longevity for customers.
02:05 - Failure to clean out the air ducting from the filter to the compressor is also a common issue. Terrain Tamer addresses these concerns by using Garrett turbochargers in their kit. Garrett has advised that turbochargers can fail from overspeeding, which may occur if there's a crack or failure in the intake ducting post-compressor. To avoid this, Terrain Tamer provides a comprehensive kit that includes a new filter.
02:35 - Customers putting aftermarket tunes into their engines can cause problems if the tunes don't have the correct fuel-to-air ratio. This can lead to issues like overheating, cracking, and warping of the turbine housing. Ensuring the vehicle has an appropriate tune is crucial for the longevity of the turbocharger.
02:55 - Garrett recommends shortening oil change intervals from the standard manufacturer's procedure to around eight to ten thousand kilometres. They also suggest considering turbochargers as serviceable items, not expected to last the entire life of the engine on the vehicle.
03:15 - The Terrain Tamer kit is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for various vehicles. For more information, check out their website. Stay safe on the trials with Terrain Time, a company with a 50-year-old promise to deliver quality engineered four-wheel drive parts.Close
