Kobelco SK200-3 SK200-5 Turbocharger ME088488

ME088488 Turbocharger for Kobelco SK200-3 SK200-5 Mitsubishi 6D31 Engine

The ME088488 turbocharger is supplied for Mitsubishi 6D31 diesel engine applications, commonly used on Kobelco SK200-3, SK200-5 and related excavator models. It is selected for engine repair when the old turbocharger has boost loss, oil leakage, worn shaft clearance, damaged wheel blades or abnormal turbo noise during operation.

This replacement turbocharger should be matched by the old turbocharger number, engine model, machine model and removed sample. Since 6D31 engine applications can use different turbocharger versions depending on equipment configuration and previous repair history, the old turbocharger tag and sample photos should be checked before order confirmation.

Main Part Number and Ref Cross

The main part number is ME088488. Ref Cross numbers such as 49179-00240 and KZ000963 can be used for inquiry matching. Final confirmation should still be based on the old turbocharger nameplate, engine model and removed sample photos before shipment.

Application Matching Notes

For Kobelco SK200-3, SK200-5 and related 6D31 applications, the safest matching method is to compare the old turbocharger tag, Mitsubishi 6D31 engine plate and physical sample. Machine model alone is not enough for final confirmation because the same machine family can use different turbocharger arrangements.

Machine Check: Confirm Kobelco SK200-3, SK200-5, Kato HD700 or the actual equipment model from the buyer.

Engine Check: Confirm Mitsubishi 6D31 from the engine plate or service record.

Turbo Tag Check: Look for ME088488, 49179-00240 or KZ000963 on the old turbocharger tag or supplier record.

Sample Check: Compare compressor housing, turbine housing, flange type, oil inlet and oil return position.

Photo Check: Send clear photos of the nameplate side, compressor side, turbine side and mounting side before order confirmation.

Common Replacement Conditions

A worn ME088488 turbocharger can cause low boost pressure, black smoke, slow acceleration, oil leakage, abnormal turbo noise or excessive shaft play. Before replacing the turbocharger, the air intake, exhaust and lubrication systems should be checked to reduce the risk of repeat turbo failure.

Low Boost or Black Smoke: Check the air filter, intake pipe, intercooler pipe and compressor wheel for blockage, leakage or foreign object damage.

Oil Leakage: Check the oil feed line, oil return line and crankcase ventilation. A blocked oil return line can cause oil leakage at the turbocharger seal area.

Abnormal Turbo Noise: Check shaft clearance, bearing wear, wheel contact marks and signs of contaminated oil before installing the replacement turbocharger.

Inspection Before Installation

Before replacing the ME088488 turbocharger, inspect the air filter, intake pipe, exhaust manifold, intercooler pipe, oil feed pipe and oil return pipe. Turbocharger damage is often caused by dirty oil, blocked oil return, foreign object damage, exhaust leakage or poor air filtration.

During installation, fill the oil inlet with clean engine oil and rotate the compressor wheel by hand before starting the engine. After installation, check for oil leakage, abnormal turbo noise, black smoke, blue smoke, weak boost and unstable engine response during testing.
