Thank you for purchasing the S2T Performance Kubota L2501/L3240 Bolt-on Turbo Kit. We hope that this Turbocharger system enhances the enjoyment and performance of your Tractor for years to come.
S2T Performance recommends purchasing and installing a Pyrometer (EGT probe) and EGT gauge prior to the Turbo Kit installation to monitor and record EGT and combustion temperatures before installing this Turbo Kit.
Disclaimer: Any risk associated with the installation of the Turbocharger system on a tractor are solely that of the tractor owner and S2T Performance Products is not liable for loss of warranty or any damage incurred to your tractor.
Installation;
Always refer to the OEM Kubota L2501/L3240 service repair manual and operator manual for proper procedure and torque specifications.
1). Remove Front Loader (per factory manual) if equipped.
Disconnect the negative batter terminal
2). Remove Hood (per factory manual)
3). Remove Engine Bay side panels
4). Remove muffler and exhaust pipe (retain factory muffler bolts as those will be used later in the installation of the Turbo Adapter Pipe).
5). Remove air cleaner Intake hose and clamps
6). Remove PCV hose (located on intake manifold and engine valve cover)
7). Remove Oil Pressure Sensor on left side of engine block
8). Replace Oil Pressure Sensor with the supplied 1/8" NPT 4AN Fitting and install into engine block (add small amount of high temperature Teflon sealant to threads)
9). Install supplied 4AN 90 degree Elbow Fitting to 4AN fitting on engine block (add small amount of Teflon high temperature sealant to threads)
10). Install Oil Pressure Sensor in supplied 4AN Sensor Port Fitting and connect to 90 degree 4AN elbow (add small amount of high temperature Teflon sealant to threads)
11). Attach Turbocharger to Turbo Exhaust Manifold Adapter using supplied bolts (add small amount of anti-seize to threads) and OEM gasket (pre-assembled by S2T)
12). Attach Turbo down-pipe/exhaust to Turbocharger using supplied bolts (add small amount of anti-seize to threads) and OEM gasket (pre-assembled by S2T)
13). Install the complete Turbocharger assembly to engine exhaust manifold using OEM muffler bolts removed earlier (add small amount of anti-seize to threads) and the supplied OEM gasket. On L3240 tractors, remove the lower radiator hose shield, turn it upside down and reinstall. Then attach downpipe bracket.
14). Install supplied steel braided 4AN oil feed hose assembly to Turbocharger and 4AN sensor port (add small amount of high temperature Teflon sealant to threads). We found it best to route the hose through engine lift hook
15). Remove oil plug from left side of engine block on L2501 Tractor (L3240 Tractor see below)
16). Lubricate the S2T Turbo Drain pipe with clean engine oil and install the Turbo Drain pipe (tap with a rubber mallet if required). Install new stainless steel 6AN hose from the Turbo to the S2T Drain pipe (add small amount of high temperature Teflon sealant to threads). The L3240 Tractor will require minor grinding of the frame for proper fitment of the S2T Drain pipe (see below)
XX). L3240 Tractor Modification: Using a Die Grinder clearance the frame so the S2T Turbo Drain pipe can be installed securely in the engine block (to avoid any metal shavings from getting into the engine, we recommend using a vacuum or compressed air to clean up any debris before removing the engine block plug and installing the S2T Turbo Drain pipe).
17). Install supplied PCV cap on intake manifold
18). Attach supplied PCV hose to engine valve cover using one OEM clamp from original PCV hose
19). Install Turbo Intake pipe to OEM air cleaner using supplied silicone hoses (Part #2726 & #2706) and clamps (Part #2788 & #2791). You may need to trim silicone hoses for proper fitment
20). Connect supplied PCV hose to Turbo air cleaner Intake pipe reusing OEM hose clamp. You may need to shorten hose for proper fitment
21). Install Turbo Charge pipe to intake manifold using supplied silicone hoses (Part #2700 & #2708) and clamps (Part #2787 & #2792). You may need to trim silicone hoses for proper fitment
22). Check and make sure all bolts and connections are installed correctly and are tight. Disconnect the top Turbocharger feed AN hose and add a small amount of engine oil to the Turbocharger for the initial start-up.
23). Reconnect the negative battery terminal and start the Tractor and let idle. Check for leaks
24). Remove 6AN drain hose from engine block and ensure oil flow from Turbocharger. You may want to have a small container to trap oil flow from Turbocharger. Turn off Tractor. Reinstall 6AN fitting/hose to engine block
25). Reinstall hood and hood side panels. Reinstall Loader (if equipped/needed)
26). Remove plug from Turbocharger Adapter and install an EGT probe to view and monitor your exhaust gas temperature
You will be expected to continue to monitor your EGT temperatures while the Turbo Kit is installed on your tractor. Engine health and engine tuning is your responsibility!!!
Your new S2T Performance Products Kubota L2501 Turbo Kit is now installed.
Congratulations!!!
