Whatever the real compression ratio is, it's
low enough to make a turbo work well. You
have to be really careful turbo-ing a high CR
diesel (21-22:1) so as not to build up too
much cylinder pressure. FYI, K.B., the
intercooler I have laying around is too big to fit
anywhere on my tractor, but I think there is
room to build a bracket in front of the grill and
install the right sized one there (with its own
grille). I'm gonna run mine a while before I go
that far. It runs well but has a fair number of
hours. I'll have to decide it its stout enough to
boost safely. I'm gonna run a compressrion
and CLT test on it this fall after planting.
