I'm no deisel mechanic, just a farm boy with wrenches...couldn't you just overbore the block, or stuff a larger block in there? I farm with old letter series Farmalls, and that always works out for me. Just an idea. Mike
Hate to burst your bubble Frank, but you can easily get that much just with simple governor and fuel delivery (injection pump timing) adjustments. That's the basic difference between the 254 and 284 versions of the Y385 engine. It's becoming unclear as to where your actual priorities lie: in obtaining a viable horsepower increase - or just plain old bragging rights.Mega_Me said:According to a few compressor maps I've found, that I would increase from 24hp to 28hp with only 3-4psi of boost.
greg_g said:Oh, and you calculated something wrong. The Y385 displacement is 93.5 cubic inches. See http://ruralking.com/netflyer_web/Tractor%20Project/25HPSpecs.htm

Understand, and thanks for the clarification. Perhaps the content of that post will be of some use to the OP then. SorryMega_Me said:Actually, I was referring to MY New Holland which is a 69ci or 1.130L Perkins/Shibaura engine. I've just been following Frank's post as I share the same interests in terms of the end results.
