Okay, now we are getting somewhere. It is a v2403, very popular in europe and in kubota mini excavators. I am wondering if it is a bored version of the 2203t-e block. If that is the case again I go back to the original statement that the parts for a turbo conversion are already available from the v2203. I will look into this. perhaps you can find out from the dealer if it is same block as the 2203-t-e. I will get back to you later. By the way kubota usually stamps, in raised numbers, the engine model on the side of the engine block.

Okay, I think I got some decent news for you. Kubota does make a V2403 in a turbo version, output is 61 hp. It can be found in the Bobcat t190 skidsteer.
Actually, a friend of mine owns this model bobcat. As I recall, the bobcat used the MHI TD03 turbo. I was looking at it the other day to see the turbo set up as I am going to be turbocharging a kubota engine in the near future. Anyway, you can go to your local bobcat dealer and take a look at the T190(it is a new model) and check it out. The turbocharger will have a metal plate with id numbers so you can get the right one. Bring a flashlight because the turbo is bolted to the exhaust manifold which is behind the motor so it is dark in there. Good luck.

Yes indeed!!
I was not able to locate the block # but it is also snowing quite heavy today. I will be able to do it better tomorrow. I also have a bobcat dealer about 5 miles from me so I will go there tomorrow.
BTW Thanks Mikeyd for your help!!

They would be pretty high hours.
I thought of looking for a used one but my thinking is to have one tractor that can do with what I need. It is still not out of the question, But I would also need a different trailer to tow a 14,000# tractor.

Do the turbo setups on these tractors use an intercooler like on my powerstroke?
