Different Turbo options
Hi folks.
What can i install in place of my damaged TD04HL-13G turbo unit for my 1996 Volvo 855 AWD 193bhp car (B5254T Engine)? What other options are there for me? currently taking it out of the car and wondering if i should have it rebuilt or go for something more interesting? Cheers Bren |
Current Turbo installed is: TD04HL-13G
TD04HL-13G
With Serial Number 6070802 MFD 49189-01360 Part # 1275089 Made in Japan 13432. What alternatives' are out there for replacing it with to gain more HP? |
You can replace it with any turbo
If you want a straight swap look for other Volvo turbos, just has to have the same exhaust housing, straight flange, conical flange or angled flange I wouldn't go overboard on the size, a 15g or 16t at most |

when you say "any turbo" does that mean if i have (which i have sitting in the garage) a KO3s Turbo from an Volkswagen, that it should work, if it fits? Curious - as it allows upto 260bhp when remapped... could be a cost saving venture if so.. bren :) |
Yes, any turbo at all will fit
Whether it is suitable for your engine is another matter It may also require a lot of custom fabrication It would be much more sensible to go with a Volvo turbo. I am 99% sure you need a straight flange turbo, I would suggest a 15g or 16t Make sure you get new copper washers for the banjo bolts and a new oil return seal (possibly new oil return pipe) I would also service the prop and transfer box while you are in that area |

thanks a mill for the info. have you any literature to that effect - prop servicing and transfer box? can't located anything in haynes. cheers bren |
Prop servicing:
Unbolt either end and centre support Check the centre bearing for play, if it has play I would send it away for refurb CV joints remove, clean, regrease and ready to refit the prop Transfer box, remove, drain oil, check input and output shaft seals, replace if necessary, refill with oil and refit. The sleeve from the gearbox output to the transfer box input could be worn as could the transfer box. Two options here, replace both or weld the sleeve to the transfer box input shaft |
