Description
This listing is for a reconditioned Garrett GT18V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Nissan Almera Tino 2.2 dCi (YD22DDTI engine, 136HP) manufactured between 2003 and 2006. As a variable nozzle turbine (VNT) unit, it delivers precise boost control and efficiency across the engine’s RPM range. This particular turbocharger is a common component in many Nissan applications and is known for its robust design when properly maintained. Common issues with this specific turbocharger often stem from the variable vane mechanism seizing due to carbon build-up, leading to over-boosting or under-boosting and triggering engine management lights. Electronic actuator faults are also frequent, causing erratic performance, limp mode activation, or complete loss of boost pressure. Additionally, like many turbos, the central housing rotating assembly (CHRA) can suffer from bearing wear, typically due to prolonged oil starvation or contamination, resulting in excessive shaft play, characteristic whining noises, and oil leaks into the exhaust or intake system.
What this turbocharger fits
This Garrett GT18V turbocharger is a direct fit for the following vehicle:
- Make: Nissan
- Model: Almera Tino 2.2 dCi
- Engine Code: YD22DDTI
- Horsepower: 136 HP
- Fuel Type: Diesel
- Year Range: 2003 – 2006
The Original Equipment (OE) part number for this turbo is 727477-5006s, with an alternative Nissan part number of 14411AW40A. When replacing your turbocharger, it is crucial to match these numbers precisely to ensure correct fitment and optimal operation for your Nissan Almera Tino.
At Gap Turbos, we offer this unit as a reconditioned exchange, meticulously rebuilt to meet or exceed OE specifications. Our comprehensive reconditioning process involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning of all components, inspection for wear and damage, and replacement of all critical worn parts, including bearings, seals, and thrust components, with new, high-quality replacements. The central rotating assembly is then dynamically balanced to extremely fine tolerances to ensure longevity and smooth operation. We also offer new exchange units for certain models, and our Birmingham workshop provides professional fitting services. This service includes a vital pre-installation inspection of the vehicle’s oil system, exhaust, and air intake to identify and rectify any underlying issues that may have contributed to the original turbo failure, such as blocked oil lines or DPF problems. A thorough system clean is always performed. All our work is backed by our robust warranty for your peace of mind.

Vehicle fitment
- Nissan Almera Tino 2.2 dCi
Common faults & troubleshooting
- Loss of power or limp mode: Often indicates a seized variable vane mechanism or a faulty electronic actuator, preventing correct boost pressure.
- Excessive smoke from the exhaust (blue/grey): Suggests oil ingress into the exhaust system, typically from worn CHRA bearings or seals.
- Whining or grinding noises from the turbo: A clear sign of internal bearing wear or impeller contact with the housing due to excessive shaft play.
- Engine management light illuminated with boost-related fault codes: Points towards issues with boost control, such as a sticking VNT mechanism or a failing actuator.
- Oil leaks around the turbocharger connections: Could be due to failed seals within the CHRA or blocked oil return lines causing pressure build-up.
Fitting notes for this unit
- Always replace the oil feed pipe and all associated gaskets and seals when fitting a new or reconditioned turbocharger to prevent oil starvation.
- Ensure the engine’s oil system is thoroughly flushed and a new oil filter is fitted to remove any contaminants that may have caused the original turbo failure.
- Prime the turbocharger with clean engine oil through the oil feed hole before starting the engine to ensure immediate lubrication upon first start-up.
- Carefully check all vacuum lines and electrical connections for the electronic actuator; even minor leaks or poor connections can cause performance issues.
- When tightening the oil drain pipe bolts, ensure they are torqued correctly to prevent leaks, but avoid over-tightening which can strip threads.
- After installation, run the engine at idle for several minutes without revving to allow oil pressure to stabilise and the turbo to fully lubricate.
