Perkins Phaser Series - Engine Identification

10 GENERAL INFORMATION
Engine identification
The Perkins Phaser and 1000 Series engines have
been designed for specific applications, as shown
below:
• Phaser for automotive applications.
• 1000 Series for agricultural and industrial
applications
Each series consists of both four and six cylinder
engines, each of which will have four basic engine
types - naturally aspirated, compensated,
turbocharged and turbocharged/intercooled.
There are different models in each series.
Phaser engines are named according to their
approximate power output, for example:
Phaser\110T - four cylinder engine rated at 106 bhp
"T" indicates that the engine is turbocharged.
Phaser\210Ti - six cylinder engine rated at 210 bhp
"Ti" indicates that the engine is turbocharged and
intercooled.
1000 Series engines are identified by a system of
numbers and letters, for example:
1006-6TW - six cylinder engine of six litres
"TW" indicates that the engine is turbocharged and
intercooled.
In this workshop manual, the different engine types
are indicated by their code letters. These are the
first two letters of the engine number as indicated
below:
