The turbocharger is a device which increases
engine output by sending a greater amount of air-
fuel mixture to the engine than under normal con-
ditions. Engine output depends upon the amount
of the air-fuel mixture ignited per unit of time.
Therefore, to increase engine output, the most
effective method is to send a greater amount of
air-fuel mixture into the cylinder. than usual, engine output can be increased by
.
increasing the average combustion pressure with-
out increasing the engine speed.
Superchargers are either turbocharger type
(using exhaust gas to turn the turbine) or
supercharger type (using the engine crankshaft,
etc. to mechanically turn the pump, etc.). For the
Supra 7M-GTE engine, the turbocharger type has
been adopted.
In other words, by installing a special tur-
bocharger and providing more air-fuel mixture

Operation of the Turbocharger
Waste’Gate
Valve Intercooler
Air intake
Chamber
Exhaust gas.acts on the turbine wheel inside the
turbine housing, causing it to revolve. When the
turbine wheel revolves, the impeller wheel which is
located on the same shaft also revolves, com-
pressing the intake air which has passed through
the air flow meter from the air cleaner. When
expelled from the compressor housing the com-
pressed air is supplied to the cylinders. When the
engine speed increases, the exhaust gas volume
increases and the turbine wheel revolutions
increase (approx. 20,000 rpm - 110,000 rpm),
thus the turbocharged air pressure grows greater
and engine output increases.
I, Waste Gate Valve
Although on the one hand high output is
achieved by turbocharging, if the turbocharged air
pressure becomes too high, knocking occurs and
on the contrary, a reduction in engine output is
caused. If the turbocharged air pressure exceeds
the prescribed air pressure, the flow of exhaust
gas bypasses the turbine, controlling turbine wheel
revolutions and turbocharge air pressure. This by-
pass valve which controls the quantity of exhaust
gas flowing to the turbine is called the waste gate
valve.
When the supercharged air pressure exceeds
the prescribed pressure, the actuator operates, the
waste gate valve opens and part of the exhaust
gas by-passes the turbine. This causes a drop in
the turbine revolution rate and controls the
supercharged air within the prescribed limits.
Intercooler
The intercooler cools the turbocharged air
(intake air) put out by the turbocharger, thereby
increasing the air density. As the air intake efficien-
cy increases, the gas temperature in the combus-
tion chamber falls and the occurrence of knocking
is suppressed, giving an increase in engine output.
The Supra 7M-GTE intercooler is an air cooling
type located at the front of the vehicle, utilizing the
vehicle windstream to cool the turbocharged air.

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM - Troubleshooting TC-5
TROUBLESHdOTlNG
NOTE: Before troubleshooting the turbocharger, first
check the engine itself. (Valve clearance, engine compres-
sion, ignition timing etc.)
INSUFFICIENT ACCELERATION, LACK OF POWEk OR
EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION
(Possible Cause)
I
1. TURBOCHARGING PRESSURE TOO
LOW
t
’ (Check Procedure and Correction Method)
Check turbocharging pressure. (See page TC-8)
Turbocharging pressure:
M/T 0.39 - 0.53 kg/cm2
(5.5 - 7.5 psi, 38 - S2 kPa)
A/T 0.34 - 0.42 kg/cm2
(4.8 - 6.0 psi, 33 - 41 kPa)
If the pressure is below specification, begin
diagnosis from item 2.
2. RESTRICTED INTAKE AIR SYSTEM Check intake air system, and repair or replace

3. LEAK IN INTAKE AIR Check intake air system, and repair or replace
parts as necessary. (See page TC-7)

4. RESTRICTED EXHAUST SYSTEM Check exhaust system, and repair or replace parts
as necessary. (See page TC-7)
Check exhaust system, and repair or replace parts
as necessary. (See page TC-7)
6. ERRATIC TURBOCHARGER
OPERATION Check rotation of impeller wheel. If it does not turn
or turns with a heavy drag, replace the turbocharger
assembly.
Check axial play of bearing shaft. (See page TC- 14)
Axial play: 0.13 mm (0.0051 in.) or less
If not within specification, replace the turbocharger
assembly.
