This is the BorgWarner 169012, a new S400 turbocharger (S400S010), not a rebuild, for the Detroit Diesel Series 60 11.1L. It is BorgWarner’s replacement for Garrett 466998-0001, 466998-0002 and 466998-0009, and it replaces Detroit 23508405, 23508406, 23515894, 23518695, 23521167 and 23528029 and Navistar 2585835C91. The catalog description covers 300 to 350 hp engines, and two catalogs list the Garrett turbo it replaces on the 350 hp 11.1L. Older catalogs show the same turbo as Schwitzer 169012.
Not every 11.1L takes this turbo. Engines built with the Garrett TV5101 (Garrett 466838 or 466245, Detroit 23503732 or 23507908) take BorgWarner 167736 instead, and the 12.7L takes other turbos again. Heavy truck turbos are matched by the number on the turbo tag, so read the tag on your old unit before you order. Oil in the charge pipes, shaft play, a noisy turbo or low boost are the usual reasons for replacement.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
This turbo is for Series 60 11.1L engines. Your old turbo tag should read Garrett 466998 or Detroit 23508405, 23508406, 23515894, 23518695, 23521167 or 23528029. If it reads Garrett 466838 or 466245, you need BorgWarner 167736 instead. This turbo has a V-band clamp exhaust outlet, so compare it with your old one. Send us the tag number and the engine serial number and we will confirm the match. Call 530-668-0818 and we will confirm the exact match at no charge before anything ships.

Two catalogs list this turbo as supplied with its installation gaskets, so check the box before you start. Prime the turbo with clean engine oil before the first start and replace a restricted or coked oil feed line. Compare the exhaust outlet and the oil line positions with your old turbo before you fit it, and find out why the old turbo failed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the BorgWarner 169012 fit a Series 60 12.7L?
It is listed for the Series 60 11.1L, not the 12.7L. For a 12.7L, look at BorgWarner 171701, 171702 or 172743, depending on the number on your turbo tag.
What does the 169012 replace?
Garrett 466998-0001, 466998-0002 and 466998-0009 (466998-5001S new, 466998-9001S remanufactured), Detroit 23508405, 23508406, 23515894, 23518695, 23521167 and 23528029, and Navistar 2585835C91.
My 11.1L has a Garrett 466838 or 466245 turbo. Is this the right one?
No. Catalogs send those numbers, the Garrett TV5101 (Detroit 23503732 or 23507908), to BorgWarner 167736. The 169012 is for Garrett 466998-0001, 466998-0002 and 466998-0009. Call 530-668-0818 with your tag number and we will check it.
Is the 169012 new or remanufactured?
It is a new BorgWarner S400 turbocharger, not a rebuild. Older catalogs list the same turbo under the Schwitzer name.
