As my background is in high performance vehicles, I am interested in seeing who can come up with the best idea for a K&N style air filter and air box for the Kubota B series tractor.
The stock air filter gets dirty fast and the air box and filter leave a lot to be desired as far as air flow goes. Yes I know 2600 RPM is the redline for the engine, but horsepower and torque can be improved at low RPM's, as shown by the Cummins modifications performed by their owners. (Redline at 3500 RPM)
And then I wonder about using the same size exaust pipe to finish the system as Kubota uses from the exaust manifold to the muffler, instead of the smaller step down exit pipe. And a high flow muffler also. (Flowmaster?) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Ahhh,,, and then a turbo. Kubota lists a turbocharged version of the engine on their web site. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif <font color="red"> </font> <font color="red"> </font> <font color="red"> </font> <font color="red"> </font> <font color="red"> </font>
