FAQ

Q: How can I be sure this turbocharger will fit my excavator?
A: Please verify the OEM part number stamped on your current turbocharger. This unit is a direct replacement for part numbers 49179-02340, 287-0049, and 5i-8018, which are specifically designed for the Cat C6.4 engine found in E320B, E320C, and E320D models. If your part number matches one of these, the fit is guaranteed.

Q: What is the recommended installation procedure?
A: Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic. Key steps include cleaning all oil feed and return lines, using a new gasket kit, and pre-lubricating the turbocharger bearing with clean engine oil before starting the engine. Failure to prime the oil system can lead to immediate turbocharger failure.

Q: What maintenance is required to prolong the turbocharger’s life?
A: The most critical factors are using high-quality engine oil and air filters, and adhering to the recommended oil and filter change intervals. Allowing the engine to idle for 1-2 minutes before shutdown helps cool the turbocharger and prevents oil coking. Regularly inspect the air intake system for leaks or restrictions.
