1A-370 Engine Control System (4JJ1)
The turbocharger is used to increase the amount of air
that enters the engine cylinders. This allows a
proportional increase of fuel to be injected into the
cylinders, resulting in increased power output, more
complete combustion of fuel, and increased cooling of
the cylinder heads, pistons, valves, and exhaust gas.
This cooling effect helps extend engine life.
Heat energy and pressures in the engine exhaust gas
are utilized to drive the turbine. Exhaust gas is directed
to the turbine housing. The turbine housing acts as a
nozzle to direct the shaft wheel assembly. Since the
compressor wheel is attached directly to the shaft, the
compressor wheel rotates at the same speed as the
turbine wheel. Clean air from the air cleaner is drawn
into the compressor housing and wheel. The air is
compressed and delivered through a crossover pipe to
the engine air intake manifold, then into the cylinders.
The amount of air pressure rise and air volume
delivered to the engine from the compressor outlet is
regulated by a waste gate valve in the exhaust housing.
The position of the waste gate valve is controlled by the
amount of pressure built up on the intake side of the
turbocharger. The diaphragm on the inside of the waste
gate is pressure sensitive, and controls the position of
the valve inside the turbocharger. The position of the
valve will increase or decrease the amount of boost to
the turbocharger. (Except Euro 4 specification)
