turbocharging a Kubota B7100

[rodnok]

I put a turbo on a tiny Yanmar 1110d tractor. Used a turbo off a Yamaha Seca motorcycle. The turbo was small enough to fit on your open hand. It was a fun projrct and only cost a few hundred dollars.

Could you give some details as to the power of the Yanmar before and after the Turbo install?

Good thread. Good information given here by a few experienced owners. Flanked by many naysayers. Some of which don't even know if their tractor has a turbo or not.

I'll stick with my comments and my happiness with admitting what I don't know. Some know everything.

If we assume the turbo provided a 40% power increase (big assumption here!) It would have brought it up to 15hp. I'll be honest, it felt stronger than that, but maybe it was the diesel. Was a bunch of fun mowing and blowing snow because it would keep on pulling.

Surprisingly, fueling wasn't an issue. I would have swore the pump would have needed a boost reference but even under boost it would still blow smoke.
