Doosan DX340LC-7 Turbocharger HX40W (P/N: 2834180 / 2834181) – Heavy-Duty Power for DL08 Engine

Description

The Doosan HX40W Turbocharger, compatible with part numbers 2834180 and 2834181, is an absolutely critical component designed to maximize the performance of your heavy-duty excavator. Specifically engineered for Doosan machinery equipped with the powerful and reliable DL08 / DL08TI engine (7.6L), this turbocharger dramatically enhances overall engine output. It achieves this by utilizing the energy from the engine’s exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor. This compressor forces a larger, denser charge of fresh air into the engine’s combustion chambers, allowing for a more complete and potent fuel burn. The result is a substantial increase in horsepower and torque, along with improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.

These turbochargers (2834180 and 2834181 are often interchangeable or alternate OEM part numbers for the same application) are broadly compatible with a range of Doosan and older Daewoo excavators that rely on the DL08 engine, including models such as DX300LC, DX300LL, DX340LC, DX350LC, DX380LC, TXC300, and TXC340. This makes them the precise and highly suitable components for your Doosan DX340LC-7, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. The HX40W model is renowned for its robust design and suitability for heavy-duty applications.

Manufactured to stringent OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications, this turbocharger is constructed from high-grade, heat-resistant alloys like K418 high nickel casting alloy for critical components such as the turbine shaft wheel. It features precision-machined internal parts, including meticulously balanced turbine and compressor wheels, ensuring smooth, vibration-free operation at extremely high rotational speeds. The internal bearing systems are engineered for exceptional durability under the intense temperatures and mechanical stresses of forced induction, receiving continuous lubrication from the engine’s oil system to guarantee reliable performance and an extended lifespan.

Symptoms of a failing or worn turbocharger can include a significant loss of engine power, excessive and abnormal exhaust smoke (often black or blue), increased fuel consumption, or unusual high-pitched whining, whistling, or grinding noises emanating from the engine bay. These indicators signify compromised engine efficiency and can lead to further, more severe engine damage if not addressed promptly. Replacing a faulty turbocharger with a high-quality, OEM-standard part like the 2834180 / 2834181 is crucial to restore your excavator’s original power output, enhance fuel economy, reduce emissions, and prevent costly downstream engine repairs. This component is an essential replacement for maintaining the high-performance and reliability of your Doosan DX340LC-7.
