Nagpur 440016, India Accepted 22 April 2017, Available online 25 April 2017, Vol.7, No.2 (April 2017) Abstract The project is about installation off-delay timer unit in earthmoving turbocharger machine. In this type of live project we use off-delay timer as medium to increasing the efficiency of engine as well as turbocharger. Basically, our project had been done on excavator XYZ 450 Z-AXIS. As we had find out the problem in excavator that when the operator start the machine for performing some kind of work as the excavator as widely used to perform for heavy digging jobs in mining industries so it consist of turbocharger as a main mechanical component because of it the high torque as well as large amount of power output is generated. So, after the work done the operator turn off the machine immediately without keeping the engine idle running for certain minute (2 to 3 min) as engine get shut down but still the turbocharger get rotating at high rpm approx.. 2,50,000 rpm and due to that the highly back pressure of turbocharger get strike on engine and thus the efficiency and life span of the same get hampered. Thus by introducing off-delay timer unit in earthmoving machine i.e.
