6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Not Working

6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Not Working

If Your Powerstroke Turbo Is Not Working, Let Me Help You Diagnose the Problem. Is Your Turbo Blowing Oil Past the Seals Causing the Engine Exhaust to Burn Oil Out the Tailpipe, If so You will see White Smoke With a Blue Tint. The Exhaust Will Smell like Burning OIl and Not like Diesel Fuel. Your Blue White Smoke Condition Can Go Away When The Engine Warms Up. If Your Turbo Is Leaking Oil, then it Needs a Rebuild and Needs to Be Replaced.

If The Turbo Takes a long time to Build Boost, But Makes Great Power in Higher RPM, then the VGT System Needs to Be Cleaned. It is Necessary To Blast the turbine housing, Bearing Housing, and VGT Parts To Fix This Problem. The Reason Why the VGT System Sticks, is because The Bearing Housing Rusts and Makes the Unison Ring Stick To The Bearing Housing Which Will Not Allow the Turbo to Build Boost Effiecently. The Vanes can be Stuck In Open Position for High RPM or Closed Postion for Low RPM. If Stuck In Open Position the Turbo will Take a Long Time To Spool Up, But the Turbo will Perform Great At Higher RPM. If the VGT Is Stuck In Closed Position, then the Turbo Will Spool Up Fast But it will Run Out of Power at Higher RPM. If You Have This Problem, then the VGT System Needs a Good Cleaning, I recommend Sand Blasting in a Professional Media Blasting Cabinent with a Vacuum Filtration System, Then Painting to Prevent Rust.

You Have 2 Options, You Can Rebuild Your Turbo Or Buy a New 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo. Here “6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Rebuild” You can Learn How to Rebuild The Powerstroke 6.0 Turbo. And Here You can Buy a New 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Replacement.

Best Intercooler for GTR R35

The Alpha R35 GT-R Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) is one of the best performing and best looking intercooler upgrades you can buy for the Nissan GT-R and it has numerous 9 second time slips to back it up. This is the same durable, race-proven front mount intercooler used on our Alpha 9 GT-R package and is most effective for GT-Rs producing up to 1000HP.

This direct bolt-on intercooler has over 75% more internal flow area than its stock counterpart, works with stock piping and does not require any cutting or trimming! This intercooler bolts on so nice and clean you would swear it was an OEM Nissan piece!! To be used with STOCK OEM Upper Intercooler Piping.

We Do Sell a Rebuild Kit for this Problem. The Rebuild kit is Made of 304 Stainless Steel Just like the Original Material. Keep in Mind this was never a materials Problem, it is a design Problem with the long Travel Distance. BMW Does have a Updated Tune to Help Prevent this Problem, but Im not sure if it Permanently Fixes the Issue. I am Just Happy to be able to save people Money from Having to buy New turbos for about 1600$. We have saved Our customers over $500,000, Instead of Having to Replace the Turbos from the Dealership.

BMW N54 535i, 335i, and 135i Turbos the Same?

1 Reply

Are BMW N54 535i, 335i, and 135i Turbos the Same? Here is the Difference In the BMW N54 135i, 335i, and 535i Turbos.

The Difference is that the Rear Turbo of the 535i has a Different Wastegate Actuator and Compressor Housing Which i was told is Designed to Clear the Firewall. The X6 Also Has a Difference, the Difference in the X6 N54 Turbos Is that the compressor housing and Wastegate is like the 535i, but the Compressor Housings have Plastic Inlets in Both Compressor Housings, Which Make it Difficult to Upgrade.

How Much Oil Pressure To Run to Your Turbo

How Much Oil Pressure To Run to Your Turbo

Learn How Much OIl Pressure Your Turbo Should See. The Most Common Problem with Turbochargers Blowing oil is the Oil Drain Being Too Small. The Normal Factory Size OIl Drain is 14mm – 20mm. When Making an Oil Drain for a Turbocharger, it is Important to have as Large of and Oil Drain Possible and never use a Restrictor in a Journal Bearing Turbocharger.

It is very Common for a Turbo to Leak oil out the Seals if the oil Drain is 12mm or Smaller. Try and Use a 16mm Inside Diameter OIl Drain Fitting and a 5/8″ Hose.

Often a Turbo can Leak oil if the OIl drain has the Following Problems:

Oil Drain Diameter Too Small
Oil Drain Angle too Sharp Making it Difficult for the OIl to Drain Properly
Oil Drain Clogged
Turbo Center Cartridge Angle too Steep. (Do Not Angle More than 15 Degrees in Either Direction)
Oil Level Too High Inside of the Turbo (If the OIl level is too High Inside the Turbo, the Oil can Leak out if the Oil Level is Simply Sitting too High in the Cartridge
If Oil Weight is Thinner than 10w 30, the Oil can Leak Out of the Turbo Seals Even When The Seals are Still Good. Too Thin of Oil Weight Will Cause the Turbo to Wear Out Much Sooner, Use 10w 30 or Heavier Weight.

How To Do a Boost Leak Test

Leave a reply

Here I Teach How to Do a Boost Leak Test. This Is the Most Important Thing to Know How to Do If You Own a Turbo Car.

If Your Turbo Vehicle Has a Boost Leak It is Rob You of Your Horsepower, Fuel Economy, and Can Potentially Cause You to Blow Up Your Engine by Burning a Valve, Running too Rich and Washing the Cylinders, and Blowing Your Headgasket from Throwing off Your Tune.

Boost Leaks Will Cause a Rich Condition, The Car can Also Experience Stalling, Rough and High Idle, Loss of Power, Bad Fuel Mileage, and Loss of Turbo Spool up. This is the Single Most Important Thing that You can Learn About Turbochargers.

Here is an Easy to Read Itemized List of Symptoms of Boost Leaks:

Vehicle Lacks Power and is Slow
Turbo is Very Laggy, (Spool Up is Slow)
Bad Gas Mileage
Rough Idle
High Idle
Engine Stalling

Make Sure You Buy The Appropriate Boost Leak Tester For Your Application. (1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″ etc)

Here are Some Boost Leak Testers Already Made that You can Purchase.

Common Leaks That You Cannot See Are Often Found In Conditions Like:

Corroded Intercooler Pipe
Corroded Intercooler (Common for DSM)
Not Properly Sealed Intercooler Core. ( I saw this on a New Jeep Liberty Turbo Diesel Once)
Leaking Blow Off Valve (Common with Greedy, Blitz, and Factory BOV)
Holes in Vacuum Lines
Broken Seal Intake Manifold Gaskets
Dry Rotted Fuel Injector Seals

Steps Too Boost Leak Testing Your Car:

Install Boost Leak Tester On TurboCharger Inlet
Fill Up Boost Leak Tester Tire Valve With Air Chuck Until You Reach Your Boost Level (25 psi+)
Spray Soapy Water All Over Charge Pipes, Vacuum Lines, and Where Every Boost May Go.
Search For Bubbles to find Leaks
