6F – 16 EXHAUST SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
036LV002
The turbocharger internal mechanism consists of the turbine wheel, the compressor wheel, and the radial bearings.
These parts are supported by the bearing housing.
The turbocharger external mechanism consists of the compressor housing air intake port and the turbine housing
air exhaust port.
The turbocharger increases air intake efficiency. This results in increased engine power, reduced fuel consumption,
and minimal engine noise.
The turbocharger operates at very high speeds and temperatures. Part materials have been carefully selected and
machined to extremely high precision.
Turbocharger servicing requires great care and expertise.
If reduced performance is noted, check the engine for damage or wear. If there is no apparent engine damage or
wear, trouble with the turbocharger is indicated.

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine
oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
c. Refer to the "Maintenance and Lubrication"
section of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the
"ADD" and the "FULL" marks on the oil level
dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the "ADD" mark on
the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added. 3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach
normal operating temperature (About 80C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
150 kPa(21.8 psi) at idle speed.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.
