Turbochargers for Detroit Diesel 12.7L Engines

Detroit Diesel Turbo for Series 60 12.7L – New (380 to 470 HP)
This turbocharger is engineered for Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines producing between 380 and 470 horsepower. It features a high-efficiency compressor and turbine design that maintains optimal boost pressure across varying engine speeds. Built to OEM specifications, it ensures smooth acceleration, reduced turbo lag, and dependable boost control.

The 380–470 HP turbo configuration is ideal for long-haul applications where maintaining consistent pulling power under load is critical. Manufactured from heat-resistant alloys, the unit provides long service life and reliable oil seal integrity, even under extreme exhaust gas temperatures.

Detroit Diesel Turbo for Series 60 12.7L – New (470 to 500 HP)
For higher output engines, the 470–500 HP turbocharger offers improved turbine flow and enhanced compressor efficiency. It’s designed for applications that demand sustained high performance, such as heavy-duty freight transport or high-demand vocational uses. This model ensures the right balance of boost pressure and air volume for full-throttle reliability, while also optimizing exhaust back pressure for improved engine response.

Both turbos come fully assembled and ready to install. Diesel Pro Power ensures every turbo is tested and balanced before shipment to eliminate vibration and ensure optimal air compression performance.

Turbo Installation Components and Hardware

Turbo Riser Gasket
The turbo riser gasket seals the joint between the turbocharger and exhaust riser. With inner dimensions of 2 inches by 3.75 inches and outer measurements of 3.75 inches by 5.5 inches, it is designed for exact fitment on the Series 60 turbo mount. Constructed from high-heat resistant material, it prevents exhaust gas leaks that could reduce boost pressure or efficiency. A new gasket should always be installed whenever replacing or reseating the turbocharger to ensure a tight seal.

Turbo Oil Return Gasket
The oil return gasket is designed to ensure proper sealing between the turbo oil drain port and the engine block or return pipe. Measuring 3 inches in width by 1.5 inches in length, this gasket prevents oil leakage and contamination. Proper oil return is crucial for maintaining the turbo’s lubrication system and preventing premature bearing wear.

Turbo Clamp (5.75” Diameter)
This heavy-duty clamp secures the turbo connection, maintaining tightness under thermal expansion and vibration. Measuring 5.75 inches in outer diameter, it’s designed for the Series 60 turbo housing assembly. The clamp’s reinforced design prevents air or exhaust leaks, ensuring consistent turbo pressure and optimal engine breathing.

Turbo Mounting Nut
The turbo mounting nut ensures proper fastening of the turbo assembly to the mounting studs. It’s built from hardened steel to resist heat and vibration, maintaining torque integrity over time. Always replace turbo hardware during installation to ensure proper clamping load and to avoid loosening caused by exhaust heat cycles.

Turbo Mounting Studs (1.5 x 44 mm and 1.5 x 50 mm)
Two stud lengths are available for the Detroit Diesel Series 60 turbo mount, providing flexibility for different turbo housings or configurations. The 44 mm and 50 mm studs ensure precise alignment between the turbo and exhaust manifold. These studs are manufactured from high-tensile materials to handle continuous thermal stress and vibration.

Washer for Turbo Mount
Turbo washers are designed to provide uniform pressure between the nut and mounting flange, reducing the risk of loosening under vibration. Using new washers during installation ensures a consistent seal and prevents warping of the turbo flange surface.

Turbo Air Pressure Sensor
This sensor monitors boost pressure within the turbo system, providing critical feedback to the engine’s ECM (Electronic Control Module). A malfunctioning air pressure sensor can result in incorrect fuel-air ratios, reduced engine efficiency, or loss of power. The replacement sensor offered by Diesel Pro Power ensures accurate data transmission, supporting proper engine tuning and emissions control.

Ensuring Long-Term Turbo Performance

Proper turbo maintenance involves regular oil changes, use of clean air filters, and inspection of gaskets and clamps for leaks. The Detroit Diesel Series 60 12.7L turbo system is highly sensitive to oil quality; using contaminated or low-grade oil can cause bearing wear or seal failure. Always allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before shutdown to cool the turbo, preventing oil coking and extending the life of the turbine bearings.
