I am wondering how much would it take to build a super smoker tractor. I am looking at either a 1066 or a 1466. I know that the skies the limit but I am on a budget. I am wanting to know some good little cheap tricks. Would you install a different camshaft. People tell me these tractors are fairly competitive with just turning up the fuel. Thanks in advance.

Call HyperMax, get a big turbo, and injectors, and set up your pump. If you don't increase your cid, your rotary pump will supply all the smoke you want. You might want to get a Hypermax TA, because the stock TA's don't seem to take real well to increased Hp. one of my friends, just got a bigger turbo, and changed his pump set up, and increased his RPM's drastically, and was getting around 250 on the dyno. Ofcourse that's not very much by turbo standards. If you beef up your 1066 or 1466 alot, you might want to consider a Machined Flywheel, so as to not sling one out the side when you are cranking 5 grand on the tach. It's only an extra thousand dollars. Do what you want, but turbo class tractors, in my oppinion, are nothing but money pits, that only get worse as compitition becomes stiffer. I don't think you can poor boy it and be satistied with your results. Get an 806, or a 966, and pull in a Natural asperated farm class, and save some serious dough. Good luck though, Greg H.

You might have to expand a little more on your definition of a "super smoker tractor". What class do you want to pull? Farm stock? Hot Farm? Super Stock? I can guarantee that you're not going to be able to run with the big boys by simply turning up the fuel, regardless of the cam shaft. It doesn't matter what diesel engine you're dealing with, more fuel only gets you so far - until you reach the airflow limits of the engine. Once you start putting in more fuel than you can burn, all you get is black smoke. That's where bigger turbos, compound turbos, stroker cranks, oversize bores, head porting, bigger valves, intake mods, higher lift camshafts and the like start helping. An off-the-farm tractor simply isn't going to be as competitive as you want with a simple pump turn-up job, unless you're running in some sort of farm tractor dyno class, where every tractor is checked for horsepower.

i think he means a mod turbo which actually a friend and i are really considering building ourselves one or purchasing a local one, i would figure on a cam, stroked crank, bore bore bore, pistons, rods, head work, valve work, and the list goes on, even before you play with the fuel system or turbo
