Cummins QSX Parts - Turbo Section

Cummins QSX Turbo Parts Catalog

The turbocharger is one of the most critical components in any Cummins QSX engine, designed to deliver the power, fuel efficiency, and durability that heavy-duty operations demand. Whether your Cummins QSX engine powers a construction vehicle, industrial generator, or marine application, maintaining proper turbo system integrity is essential for maximizing performance and engine longevity. Diesel Pro Power offers a complete range of turbo-related components for the Cummins QSX, including gaskets, high-temperature sealants, and other supporting parts—each engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards and designed for long-lasting performance under the most demanding conditions.

Cummins Turbo Gasket for QSX Engines

The Cummins Turbo Gasket is a small but vital component that ensures a perfect seal between the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold or other connected surfaces. Designed to prevent leaks of exhaust gases, oil, or coolant, this gasket plays a major role in preserving turbo efficiency and maintaining proper boost pressure. A compromised gasket can lead to reduced engine performance, increased exhaust temperatures, and even turbocharger damage if left unchecked.

At Diesel Pro Power, the Cummins turbo gasket for QSX engines is precision manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures and high-pressure conditions typical of heavy-duty diesel systems. Constructed from durable materials designed for heat resistance and long service life, this gasket ensures a secure fit and reliable sealing every time.

Key Features and Benefits:

• OEM-Grade Construction: Matches original Cummins specifications for QSX and ISX engines.

• High Heat Resistance: Built to endure temperatures produced by turbo operation—often exceeding 600°C.

• Leak Prevention: Prevents exhaust and pressure leaks, ensuring the turbo system maintains consistent boost levels.

• Long-Term Durability: Designed for thousands of operating hours without loss of sealing performance.

• Easy Installation: Compatible with standard Cummins QSX turbo hardware for a perfect fit.

Common Applications:

• Heavy-duty construction equipment

• Industrial power generation units

• Mining and agricultural machinery

• Marine propulsion and auxiliary systems

Proper gasket replacement during any turbo maintenance or overhaul is critical to avoid performance loss. Diesel Pro Power provides only quality-assured components that deliver the tight seal required for maximum efficiency in Cummins QSX turbo assemblies.

762 High-Temperature Jointing Compound for Cummins and Detroit Diesel Turbos

Complementing the gasket, the 762 High-Temperature Jointing Compound is an essential product for turbo installations, ensuring perfect sealing integrity in areas where conventional gaskets might be insufficient or where additional thermal protection is required. This compound is widely used for both Cummins QSX and Detroit Dieselturbo assemblies, proving its versatility and reliability across major diesel platforms.

Formulated to resist temperatures between 550°C and 760°C, the 762 compound provides superior adhesion and flexibility, maintaining its sealing capabilities even under continuous heat cycles. It’s especially useful in joints exposed to extreme thermal stress, including turbine housings, exhaust manifold joints, and flanged turbo connections.

Technical Details:

• Temperature Range: 550°C to 760°C (1022°F to 1400°F)

• Packaging: 225-gram tube for multiple applications

• Usage: For sealing metal-to-metal turbo joints, manifolds, and flanged fittings

• Compatibility: Safe for use with Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and other major turbocharged diesel engines

Advantages of Using 762 Compound:

• Prevents Gas and Oil Leaks: Creates a strong, heat-resistant barrier to prevent leakage in high-pressure environments.

• Improves Gasket Performance: Enhances the effectiveness of turbo gaskets by filling microscopic imperfections between metal surfaces.

• Prolongs Component Life: Reduces corrosion, prevents blowouts, and minimizes wear on flanges and fasteners.

• Easy Application: Smooth paste consistency allows easy spreading on surfaces during assembly.

• Marine-Grade Durability: Used by professional marine operators for engines exposed to both high heat and saltwater environments.

When rebuilding or servicing a Cummins QSX turbo system, applying the 762 high-temperature compound alongside a new gasket ensures the best possible seal and optimal operating efficiency. It’s a trusted product in both OEM and aftermarket settings, valued for its proven track record of reliability.

Maintaining the Cummins QSX Turbo System

The Cummins QSX turbocharger operates at extremely high speeds—often exceeding 100,000 RPM—compressing intake air to improve combustion and overall engine efficiency. This process also produces intense heat and vibration, which can stress even the most robust components. To maintain performance and prevent costly downtime, regular inspection and maintenance of the turbo system are essential.

Key Maintenance Tips:

1. Inspect Gaskets Regularly: Replace any gaskets showing signs of cracks, warping, or carbon buildup.

2. Use Proper Sealants: Avoid low-temperature sealants; always use compounds rated for high-heat environments like the 762 jointing compound.

3. Check for Leaks: Any exhaust or boost leak around the turbo can cause power loss and potential engine damage.

4. Allow Cool-Down Time: After extended operation, allow the turbo to cool down gradually before engine shutdown to prevent oil coking.

5. Maintain Clean Oil Supply: Contaminated or degraded oil can damage turbo bearings and lead to premature failure.

By combining Diesel Pro Power’s turbo gasket with high-temperature jointing compound and following these maintenance practices, operators can achieve longer turbo life, consistent performance, and reduced downtime.
