Turbo Blanket part number wanted

April 30, 2019, 04:11:44 pm

I'm looking for a turbo blanket but can't seem to find one. Does anybody else have a turbo like mine that they've blanketed and have a part number?

Mine is a Holset model 11X40W.

Travelin man Google turbo blanket I think they come in about 3 different sizes so you can pick the one that fits your needs . I put one on our coach along with wrapping the exhaust to just past resonates helps keep heat out of engine compartment

We're the 3208 cats fully blanketed including the exhaust manifolds from the factory?

Rarely. Mostly done at my store. ATP was around the corner as it were. Dozens back then...

Check ebay as they have hundreds. Just have to know the physical size of your turbo. I think most 8.3 Cummins take a T4. $20 to $80 unless you want a brand name. Get the wrap too.

Why do we want to wrap the turbo, other than to reduce the heat in the engine compartment? In my feeble mind it would make the turbo and manifold run much hotter than normal, which can't help longevity.

On every eng I've worked on, in the tuna fleet and ocean going tugs, all engs have had turbo wraps and manifold wraps.

I'm skeptic about seeing any engine performance increase but I do know it helps with heat in the bay. I may be wrong about performance as well. I'm putting one on my Cummins to try and contain heat.

Goes faster and catches fire less often. The 3208 could heat the bed sheets for sure with the turbo high center mounted.

My Cummins gets the bedroom pretty darn toasty too Mike. I finished the bay's new insulation yesterday. I doubled the layers and it should help to some degree. Now I aim to have a turbo blanket and then I will have done all I can. Air condition would keep up with the heat last summer going across I 10 in August but there is no reason not to make the engine bay right plus it looks pretty darn ok too. Like you said less fires is a good thing.

I work designing engine installations for locomotives including the smaller (15 to 27 liter) engines used for generator power of passenger rail cars. Both Cummins and CAT no longer allow blankets on their new engines. Yes, it was common years ago but it's changed. I can't tell you exactly when this change took place or even if it applies to smaller engines, but it might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer with you engine VIN to verify.

The reasoning for this, if I remember correctly, is premature turbo failures. They now offer heat shields that go around the turbos and they are really just for personnel protection. The heat shields are just perforated sheet metal and are usually at least a few inches away from the turbo housing. Blankets immediately after the turbo are allowed and are what we do to keep the engine room heat down. Pipe wrap works quite well and we use it on CAC and coolant piping.

I've seen the heat shields

Turbo blankets and pipe wraps reduce the danger of diesel being sprayed onto the components and starting a fire. Only a lazy owner that won't fast idle to cool the oil can be responsible for shorter turbo life. Or use synthetic oil!

I'm sure Cummins is on to the fact that most owners don't do much other than drive the coach.

Our insulation from the bed was hanging down and starting to touch the turbo.

Hmmm... Replaced the barrel muffler and went to two resonators then used manifold wrap on the exhaust from the turbo and out..managed to lesson the heat in the bedroom drastically..Mebbe won't wrap the turbo ...
