WARNING
Do not inhale engine exhaust gases. Do not open
exhaust system while the engine is running.
Exhaust gases are highly toxic and could cause
severe personal injury or death.

WARNING
Removal of exhaust heat shields will result in
reduced service life on engine components. Disre- EXHAUST
garding this information could result in product MANIFOLD WASTEGATE
damage and/or personal injury.
Figure 2.35-1 Turbocharger, Exhaust Manifold And
The exhaust system consists of the following compo- Wastegate – 6 Cylinder
nents (see Figure 2.35-1):
EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S)
• Exhaust Manifold(s)
Each water-cooled exhaust manifold assembly is com-
• Turbocharger(s) posed of individual segments (see Figure 2.35-1). The
• Exhaust Wastegate(s) exhaust port of each cylinder head is connected to one
water-jacketed segment of the exhaust manifold.
• Exhaust Piping and Flexible Connections Water outlet elbows (see Figure 2.35-2) connect the
(Customer-Supplied) water outlet hole in each cylinder head with the
TURBOCHARGER(S) exhaust manifold segments.

A wastegate-controlled turbocharger is provided for EXHAUST

each cylinder bank (see Figure 2.35-1). The compres- MANIFOLD
sor side of the turbocharger is part of the air induction
system; the turbine side is part of the exhaust system.
When the turbine spins through the expansion of
exhaust gases exiting the engine, the movement of the
compressor wheel causes the air passing through the
air cleaner enroute to the carburetor to be com-
pressed.

WASTEGATE(S)
NOTE: The LT engines are equipped with a
differential pressure wastegate and do not require
adjustment for elevations up to 5000 ft (1524 m).
A water-cooled exhaust wastegate (see Figure 2.35-3,
Figure 2.35-4, and Figure 2.35-5) is mounted at the
outlet of each exhaust manifold. The wastegate is a
load limiting device. At a predetermined point, intake
manifold pressure counteracts the tension of a spring,
and a valve opens to bypass a portion of the engine
exhaust around the turbocharger turbine. In this way,
the air intake boost pressure is held within an accept-
able range.

Figure 2.35-5 Wastegate – 6 Cylinder

Exhaust gases driving (or bypassing) the turbocharger

turbine exit the engine through the exhaust tee (see
Figure 2.35-6). Exhaust gases passing through the
flexible exhaust connection (shipped loose) are
directed into the atmosphere through customer-sup-
plied exhaust piping.
