IHI Corporation, formerly known as Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., is a Japanese engineering corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan that produces and offers ships, space launch vehicles, aircraft engines, marine diesel engines, gas turbines, gas engines, railway systems, turbochargers for automobiles, plant engineering, industrial machinery, power station boilers and other facilities, suspension bridges and other structures.
The IHI Turbocharger VL38 serves as a dedicated model for enhancing the performance of 1.4L petrol engines found in various Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia vehicles, including Alfa Romeo 147, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Alfa Romeo MiTo, Fiat 500, Fiat Bravo, Fiat Doblo, Fiat Grande Punto, Fiat Idea, Fiat Linea, Fiat Multipla, Fiat Punto, Fiat Scudo, Fiat Sedici, Lancia Delta, Lancia Lybra, Lancia Musa, Lancia Phedra, and Lancia Zeta.
Turbochargers play a critical role by introducing additional air into the engine's combustion chamber, thereby enhancing combustion efficiency and boosting power output. It is crucial to highlight that, when considering a turbocharger replacement, ensuring compatibility with the specific engine model and associated components is paramount. The VL38 is intricately designed for the specified vehicles, emphasizing the necessity of using the correct replacement part to achieve optimal performance.
Utilizing an inappropriate turbocharger for a given engine or vehicle may result in subpar performance, heightened wear on engine components, and potential damage to the turbocharger itself. Consulting with a qualified mechanic, turbo reconditioning specialists, or referring to the manufacturer's specifications is strongly recommended to guarantee the proper fitment of the turbocharger.
To ensure the longevity and efficient operation of turbochargers, routine maintenance is imperative. Adhering to manufacturer-recommended service intervals and conducting regular oil changes are essential practices.
For additional assurance regarding the compatibility of the turbocharger with your engine, it is advised to verify part numbers and OE numbers on the turbo. If uncertainties persist, do not hesitate to reach out for assistance at 07702 737 718 or 01323 301 999.
