Turbo kit question.....

[Absent Minded Farmer]

Wasn't there someone making a repro M&W turbo kit or did I dream it?

Thanks! That's the one.

The website does not come up & Ag Talk seems to indicate they've been gone for about a year.

Figures.

Keystone is also a company that builds turbo installation kits. Their website seems to be a bit antiquated and some weird links appear in it at least on my iPhone. On the bottom of the linked page is a phone number, probably be a good place to start. Keystone turbos

Unfortunately, they don't have diesel kits.

They do have a compromised website, so I'll have to give them a call when they open.

Looks like a newer site. That must be their old site that got hacked.

️You getting turbo for the 560 ? How much booster do you want?

Been thinking about it. I have to go over the engine with a gasket set anyhow.

How much do those engines get boosted? 8 - 10 lbs?

I have the boost waste gate set at 10 PSI on my 560D. You CAN go higher but then risk popping the head gasket if you do.

Having been into turbo charged diesels,the one thing I've seen is oil jets shooting oil under the pistons for cooling, these were 3.9 liter Cummins engines

In the case of his D-282 in his Farmall 560 he will just have to grin and bear it there is no option to add those at least not without some serious modifications. I don’t think he will burn up his engine farming his 2 acres. I suppose he could start doing some custom farming.

No piston cooling oil jets on older engines means don't get too greedy with the max fuel setting.....

kinda curious as why u need a turbo, ? if its 560 just put a 660 pump on it. or crank up the rpm. turbo's are not the answer on them engines that the head gasket is already the weak point. plus all these replacement gaskets are not like the old victor gaskets.

He doesn't even need the 660 pump, just speed up the pump he has. BOTH the 560 and 660 pumps have the SAME MAX FUEL SETTING, AND LOAD advance, only difference is the static timing and the governor spring.

I expect the exhaust temp rises correlated to increased boost. Heat kills. gm

All depends on how greedy Billy Joe Jim Bob Bubba Junior gets with the Max fuel setting increase. The exhaust temp will go DOWN in some turbo installations.

Don't diesels run fairly cool to begin with, compared to gassers?

Does the turbo cause the engine to strain less under a pull?

Yes, until you bump up the fuel. Generally, the more fuel you put into a diesel, the more heat is generated. (until you get to pulling tractors.)

No. Since the turbo is forcing more air into the engine, combustion pressures are higher, therefore putting more strain on pistons, connecting rods, cranks, etc.

Adding a turbo kit should involve installing higher pressure valve springs too. A pyrometer is required unless you don't mind replacing melted valves and seats, as valve begin to soften at 1,380°F.
