Warning
Maintanence or Service procedures which if not correctly followed will result in personal injury or loss of life.
Note
Holset turbochargers can be remanufactured using recovered parts. Where it is necessary to dispose of
components or whole turbochargers, an environmentally responsible process such as recycling should be
used, with due regard to local laws.
Note
Holset Service receives many turbocharger returns that are no fault found. Before assuming the turbocharger
is not performing to specification always refer to the engine diagnostic system and the troubleshooting
diagnostic procedures of this manual.
Warning
Turbocharger surface temperature during operation can achieve 700°C (1300°F). The HC5A/HX80/82/83/85/
HT4B/4C/80 turbochargers weigh up to 60 kg (132 lb) and turbine housing weight is greater than
20 kg (45 lb).
Caution
This turbocharger has been manufactured using piece part and rotor balance processes and MUST be check
balanced on rebuild.
If you intend to overhaul/repair a rotor balanced turbocharger, ensure that all the rotor parts have co-relation
marks prior to disassembly so that they can be reassembled in the same relative positions.
Balance limits for turbocharger rebuild are shown on Holset’s Service Data Sheet. with the exception of HX83
which requires a unique balancing process available through an approved Holset agent.
It is important to note that operating a turbocharger with a rotor or core balance level greater than the
published limits could cause turbocharger or engine failure. If you are in any doubt regarding the balancing
process, please contact an approved Holset agent for assistance.

HC5A/HX80/82/83/85/HT4B/4C/80 Service Repair Manual Introduction
Installation Data
1. Holset Service receives many turbocharger returns that are no fault found. Before assuming the
turbocharger is not performing to specification always refer to the engine diagnostic system and the fault
finding chart of this manual to make all the recommended health checks.
2. It is important that intake and exhaust systems are fitted in accordance with the recommendations of
the Equipment and Engine manufacturers. Limiting mass inertia loading is critical to turbocharger wholelife
operation. Maximum engine vibration input must not exceed 10g.
3. The air filter must remove particles greater than 5µm at an efficiency of 95% and be of sufficient capacity
to match the air consumption of the engine. Recommended filters should always be used with a pressure
drop indicator. Intake systems must be capable of withstanding depressions up to 6.9 kPa (1.0 lbf/in2).
4. Hose and clip connections of intake manifold systems must be capable of withstanding the turbocharger
pressure ratio. V band clamps are preferred and must be used above 3:1 pressure ratio.
5. Exhaust systems must be capable of operating at exhaust back pressures of up to 10 kPa (1.5 lbf/in2).
This limit is increased to 13.4 kPa (2.0 lbf/in2) if a catalytic converter is fitted. Exhaust brake applications
are permitted to impose 450 kPa (65.3 lbf/in2) back pressure.
6. Oil should be filtered to 10µm with efficiency of 60% TWA (Time Weighted Average) /20 µm with efficiency
of 85% TWA. Efficiency assessed using ISO Standard 4572/SAE J 1858.
7. The oil quality must be as specified by the engine manufacturer and will be a minimum API SE - CD
(MIL - L - 2104C) specification. Improved life can be obtained by using super high performance diesel
(SHPD) oils, particularly in industrial applications which use extended oil drain periods.
8. Normal oil temperature is 95+/-5°C (203+/-9° F). It should not exceed 120°C (248° F) under any operating
condition.
9. Any pre-lube oil must be clean and meet the minimum CD classification.
10. The orientation of turbine housing, bearing housing and compressor cover is fixed according to
application. During installation, do not attempt to rotate these components. Inclined turbocharger
installation is not recommended. If an installed angle is necessary, oil inlet centreline must be +/- 10
degrees from vertical and rotor centreline +/- 5 degrees from horizontal.
11. Holset permits oil return pipes to decline at an overall angle of not less than 30 degrees below horizontal.
All turbocharger applications require a pipe of internal diameter greater than 25 mm which has integrated
connectors. To ensure oil returns into the engine under all operating conditions, the return connection
into the engine sump must not be submerged and the outlet flange of the turbocharger must be 50 mm
above the maximum oil level of the engine sump pan. Crankcase pressure should be limited ideally to 0.8
kPa (0.12 lbf/in2) but 1.4 kPa (0.20 lbf/in2) can be accepted by reference to Holset.
12. Oil pressure of 150 kPa (20 lbf/in2) must show at the oil inlet within 3 - 4 seconds of engine firing to
prevent damage to turbocharger bearing system. A flexible supply pipe is recommended. Recommended
oil pressure at full load/ rated speed is 300 kPa (44 lbf/in2) although 600 kPa (88 lbf/in2) is permitted
during cold start up. Under idling conditions pressure should not fall below 70 kPa (10 lbf/in2).
14. Recommended oil flows for the turbochargers are 3.5 litre/min at idle and 5 - 6 litre/min above maximum
torque speed.
15. Do not use liquid gasket substances or thread sealant as any excess can enter the turbocharger oil
system to obstruct flow.
16. Recommended coolant flows for the turbochargers are 6 litre/min at idle and 13 - 19 litre/min above
maximum torque speed.
Note:
100 kPa = 1 bar (14.5037 lbf/in2 =psi).
