HOW DO YOU CLEAN A TURBO?

**pajerokid** · October 29th, 2002 02:59 AM

mga boss::: I took down my intercooler assembly to wash the innards of my 4d56. Now, i noticed that there was some dirty oil in the compressor turbine. What i did was just get a lint free basahan and i just wiped away. However theres still a lot of oil i cant get to. Any ideas on how to clean this?

I was tempted to use kerosene, to be blown through an air compressor. But i dont have a clue on how a turbo would react to such a treatment. Thanks in advance!

Don't use kerosene. Bad as it will harm the oil seals.

Just take it off and lcean it manually, using WD-40 or other lubricants, and/or flush the oil out on your next oil change. I stick a compressor in the engine and flush out as much oil as I can for about 5 minutes.

rs sprint::: Thanks pre! Pwede kaya yung pan linis ng intake? yung nasa spray can?

Di ata ako familiar dun sa sinasabi mo, sorry.

What oil do you use ba? I'm awaiting delivery of a TD pick-up and am finicky about the il on my cars so dun din sana sa diesel ko gusto ko pumili ng OK then experiment from there.
