is it possible and how much hp gain whould u get by adding a turbo to a old john deere diesl. it would have to sound wicked at an idel with the turbo spooling up and down every time it fired just wondering if any one had tried this or has seen one i think my 70 diesl may be a test model who knows maybe john deere should have tried it to keep the number serios going

There is a 70D down in southern md. with twin turbos. It runs wicked.

I don't think it's twin, but, he does run a turbo with a beer keg and a pop off valve for the excess boost. His name is Bill Grimes, very nice and very smart fellow. He also built an A with a turbo years ago for his class project.

you,d be better off putting a turbo on a briggs & stratton, and as far as the overall out come you,d be better off playing with yourself!

The turbo isn't going to spool up and down every time it fires, unless it's drastically undersized. It takes exhaust volume and heat to spool up a turbo, even at high idle speed, a turbo can be producing very little boost. This has been discussed several times on this board, and apparently some guys have done it successfully, but it's going to take some work and engineering to make it viable.

In your statement, "It takes exhaust volume and heat to spool up a turbo...", why do you say "and heat?" I understand needing exhaust volume because that's what drives the turbo. I also understand that you get heat from the exhaust, but why would heat be necessary? Cooler air would actually drive the turbo better wouldn't it? It's more dense that hot air. Curious?

I turbocharged a continenal f162 in my M-H model 20. There's a lot of figuring to do. The biggest problem I would find would be getting a turbo with a small enough, and efficient exhaust housing that could spool up at low rpms. In turn, the intake housing would have to be huge in comparison to the exhuast side in order to get the volume of boost at those low rpms. I would consider giving Garret Turbos a call and discuss your engine characteristics with them and they should be able to tell you if they have something that will work in your application, or they may tell you to not waste your time. I can see a progressive twin turbo set up being doable because the pressure made from the first turbo feeds the second, almost fooling the second turbo that the motor has more performance than it does. Lots to think about, and be prepared to try several different set ups until you find one that works for you.
