1.5L REVOTORQ ENGINE

No foreign particles (dust/dirt) should enter the
vacuum line.
Ensure the conditions of handling and installa-
tion of turbocharger/manifold are such that there
is no risk of shocks, dropping the turbocharger or
damage to the sealing surfaces (turbine housing
inlet and outlet surfaces, compressor inlet and
outlet, oil circuit), or damage to the actuator or
flow adjusting rod and screw which might lead to
the misalignment.
If the turbocharger is dropped, then it should be
inspected. If it is damaged, it should not be used.
Put few drops of oil during assembly and rotate
the wheel with finger. Look for free movement of
wheel with no wheel rubbing.
C. Catalytic Converter
The Close Coupled Catalytic Converter is a critical
element of the system used to reduce vehicle
exhaust emissions. The catalytically active element
within the converter lowers the activation energy
needed to selectively transform harmful combustion
products into less harmful gases. The catalyst
becomes active when it reaches a threshold
temperature.
Close coupled Catalytic Converter is physically
positioned very close to the engine exhaust ports to
enable quicker light-off. It also enables flushing out
of the carbon particles present in the Catalytic
Converter.
Benefits
• Positioned close to the engine exhaust ports for
fast light-off and reduced cold start emissions.
• Robust construction offers excellent durability.
• Internally insulated construction design enables
improved durability, reduced heat rejection and
lower noise.
D. Silencer
The main function of the silencer is to reduce the
amount of noise emitted by the engine exhaust
gases that flow out. It typically makes use of the
change in the cross sectional area which can be
made as a chamber to filter or reduce the sound
waves which the engine produces.
The silencers are divided into two main groups.
i) Exhaust Pipe Assy. with Pre-silencer
ii) Exhaust Assy., Rear (Main Silencer)
The silencer is typically installed along the exhaust
pipe as part of the exhaust system of the engine. It
has a resonating chamber, which is specifically de-
signed such that opposite sound waves collide to
cancel each other out.
