Installing a turbocharger on a 9 n ford

[jt candycane]

Ok guys after reading up on rods, mains and turbos I have come to the conclusion that the turbonics t3 turbo I was looking at as feared would be too big for my Lil flathead tho is desighned for engines of the same displacement. Those engines flow way more air than I can cram into my flathead through mor volumetricly efficient intake and exaust ports and more rpms. But in my looking I have found a company that manufactures a turbo for 10 to 25 horse power engines and is generally used on Briggs and kholer engines. But is recommended for anything from 100 cc to 900 cc. Tho my engine is a bit larger given the lower working rpms and the airflow restrictions of the flat head desighn am starting to think is the better way to go. As for the rods and mains. The flat head v8s run very similar rods and mains if not the same from what I can tell and stock put out 100 horse power. So a load of 50 horse power should be applied to half those engines. Im not to worried about them being able to handle the little extra stress. I am wanting to do this vs getting a larger tractor because I have always thought the little n tractors where what a tractor should be. Parts for them are cheap, and plenty full. It amazes me that I can get more parts for my tractor built in the 40's than are still available for the 1210 ford I grew up on. As far as defeating the governor I want it to still function as a tractor and I need the power in the same range the tractor is set up for now. The smog pump idea isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Tho is an idea. I have always liked the sound and feel of the turbo spooling up. I have become fascinated with my little tractor. Is far more of a work horse than I ever imagined it would be. It has a few Lil quirks that I'd like to iron out is all. Thanks guys again for all the input. You all are great!

Are you sure you are not some computer geek who is trying to create an AI bot that searches out specific information? I would think that after being told multiple times how to find out if a member is currently active on these forums that you would quit asking questions to non-active members. Or are you as your user name suggests a “candy seeker” who sees some type of “eye candy” (I.e. turbo chargers) and simply can’t contain yourself as if it’s a caffeine hit?

You don't suppose he got blowed up in a turbo explosion?

 

[Kondoge]

wow this is an old thread, since then they now sell turbo kits for lawn mower engines. Jim I do suppose he got blown up it's a 50/50 chance. he probably tried it, plus if he wanted it turbo'd why wouldn't he just Cummins swap it?

Let's twin turbo the 9 N manly for the wow factor. We will run it from cyl 1 and 4 for turbo 1 and cyl 2-3 for second turbo. Reason being even spaced exhaust pulses. Now we need 2 small carburetors so we don't require waste gate to limit boost. Being this is an old post I hope 93699 Mopar isn't offended by the hijack. I mean it's been 12 years since last seen .

I’m not gonna lie why not four carbs and four turbos. Give it max power

I have not searched the article the late Dell mentioned. However I am a fan of belt driven power al low RPM's. Never blown a flathead myself, I just watch the fellows with money do it. Seems the best way to equally atomize fuel and overcome the choke points. Anyone running a 9/2N with the 454 smog pump supercharger?

up to 5-7 psi will work IF detonation is avoided. 94 octane fuel , richen the main jet , reduce timing advance at full rpm by 5 degrees. https://shop.phessio.com/product/vz21-turbo/

Actually I change my statement better plan, four turbos and a supercharger too we give it fuel injection and convert it to run on diesel too. Maybe give it some nitrous even, give that little four cylinder enough power to catwalk the tractor just from popping the clutch accidentally. Make it do burnouts too. Giver some really wide tires like most teenagers do to their trucks and some racing slicks on the back, she would move pretty well, we do this because why in the heck not. All this unless you get blown up like 96399 Mopar. I think the joke is getting worn out now,

Read up on Flatfire Ford V8 at Bonneville. 302 mph. I think with 3 main bearing still. Been awhile since I read about it. Estimated 700 hp.

That is insane

Not to be "Debbie Downer", but it is my contention that MOST N owners have no idea of what terrible condition their motor is in.
Just like the "12 volt overhaul", the idea of adding performance modifications is akin to white-washing gravestones.
Most Ns in use are shot and owners are blissfully unaware.
And why not? They start, usually. They run, poorly and bog quickly with the slightest load.
If most N owners were ever given the opportunity to start and operate a fresh machine, their eyes would pop out of their heads!
They would push the button and the engine INSTANTLY start. The crackle of the exhaust and bark when increasing throttle.
The slightest mower load causing a solid, confident engine response.
These tractors were made right. But unlike the words you hear often, "they last forever" they require maintenance periodically.
If you cannot remember the last time your N had a complete valve job, it needs one. Distributer and governor service; same thing.
Freshen up your engine and you will put all of those performance mods out of your mind.

The 9N is almost a 2 liter maybe the low rpm demand would turn the choke point into just right. There are online calculators that will get you close. I used one from a Mopar man. Forget his site. It got me close when scavenging for parts when I set up a little 352 tow rig. When I was looking for parts online comments and the word can't would come in from some. Just got to know what to over look and what to take seriously.

Can confirm Harry, I’ve been there and have a mindset of it starts it runs it’s working, the valves make tapping sounds and it sometimes tries to stall when I back off throttle but because it works I see no need to mess with things, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, a phrase that contributes to the issue
