How to identify a 3K turbocharger

Look for the name plate of the turbo. In the old series like 3LD, 4LF you can usually find the identification name plate on the bearing housing of the turbo or on the compressor housing, held by 2 screws. Although in the K series the name plate usually appears on the compressor housing, and in the new series KP and BV the identification name plate only appears in the compressor housing.

Once you find the name plate there are several possibilities.

1. In the name plate appears the 3K part number, usually directly after the 'p/n' or 'part number' inscription, which already identifies the turbo for us.

   In some of the K0 and KP the part numbers appear abbreviated, see the examples below:

   • K03-011 = 5303-988-0011
   • K031-014 = 5303-988-0014
   • K04-001 = 5304-988-0001
   • KP31-002 = 5431-988-0002
   • KP35-000 = 5435-988-0000
   • KP39-007 = 5439-988-0007
   
   
2. In the name plate appears the O.E.M. part number ( that of the engine maker ), this is normally the case in CATERPILLAR, DETROIT DIESEL, JOHN DEERE, PERKINS y K.H.DEUTZ, therefore we have to search for the crossing using the search of this Web site, introducing the O.E.M. part number and searching by O.E.M. part number ( it should maintain the same style with spaces, hyphens, etc...).
3. In the event that the previous steps do not bring any results contact us by Fax or e-mail and we will attept to find the part number.
