Komatsu: The World’s Second-Largest Construction Equipment Manufacturer — and a Global Turbocharger Market Leader
Komatsu is the world’s second-largest construction and mining equipment manufacturer, with a global installed base spanning every continent and virtually every application in the construction, mining, quarrying, and forestry sectors. The distinctive yellow machines — PC-series excavators, WA-series wheel loaders, D-series bulldozers, GD-series motor graders, and HD-series mining haul trucks — are powered by a lineage of diesel engines that includes both proprietary Komatsu powerplants and Cummins-sourced engines across different equipment generations.
Komatsu’s turbocharger aftermarket is one of the highest-volume segments in the global construction equipment parts industry. With millions of PC200 to PC400 excavators operating globally, the demand for replacement turbochargers — particularly the Holset HX35W for the SAA6D107 engine in PC200-8 / PC210-8 / PC220-8 machines — represents one of the largest single aftermarket SKUs in the entire heavy equipment world.
At PEÇAS HHX, we supply turbochargers for the full Komatsu engine platform range — from compact SAA4D95LE engines in mini excavators, through the dominant SAA6D107 / SAA6D114 mid-size platform, to the massive Cummins QSK35 powering Komatsu PC3000 and PC4000 mining shovels.

Why the SAA6D107 HX35W Is the World’s #1 Komatsu Turbo
The Holset HX35W for Komatsu’s SAA6D107 engine holds a unique position in the global construction equipment aftermarket. Three factors combine to create the highest absolute replacement volume of any single Komatsu turbocharger SKU:
- Installed base size: The PC200-8 generation excavator is the world’s highest-volume 20-tonne class excavator — with more than 500,000 units produced since the PC200-8 launch in 2007. No other excavator model comes close in installed base size.
- High turbocharger failure rate in field conditions: The SAA6D107 operates under sustained high-load duty cycles in hot, dusty environments across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia — conditions that significantly accelerate turbocharger bearing wear versus manufacturer service life estimates. Average replacement interval in these markets is 3,000–5,000 hours versus the OEM target of 6,000+ hours.
- Critical machine dependency: A PC200-8 excavator with a failed turbocharger is completely non-operational — there is no safe mode or reduced-power operation. The urgency of replacement drives a large aftermarket demand for in-stock units at competitive prices.
SAA6D107 Turbocharger: Key Specifications
- Turbo model: Holset HX35W
- Komatsu part numbers: 6754-81-8190 / 6754818190 (primary) / 6754-81-8090 (early build)
- Holset cross-reference: 4038597 / 4038288 / 4038210
- Compressor wheel inducer: ~60mm
- Bearing system: Journal bearings, oil-lubricated
- Boost pressure (rated): approximately 160–175 kPa (gauge)
- Oil inlet: Banjo fitting, M10 (top of centre housing)
- Oil drain: Flange mount (bottom of centre housing)
Installation Checklist for Komatsu Turbocharger Replacement
- Drain and replace engine oil and filter — mandatory before installation; metallic debris from a failed turbocharger destroys new bearings within hours
- Replace oil feed line and banjo bolt — the small orifice in the banjo bolt is easily blocked by oil coking; the new line eliminates this risk
- Check and clear the oil drain line — PC200-8 drain line routing is prone to kinking with age; a partially blocked drain is the most common cause of repeat seal failure
- Pre-lubricate through oil inlet port — pour approximately 50ml clean engine oil and rotate compressor wheel by hand before fitting
- Prime oil system before first start — crank with pilot cut-off solenoid disconnected for 10–15 seconds to build oil pressure before starting
- Idle for 5 minutes on first start — do not operate any attachment functions until oil temperature begins to rise
- Inspect full intake tract — replace air filter and inspect all ducting from pre-cleaner to turbo inlet; any damage or bypass allows dust ingestion that destroys the new compressor wheel
