Turbo Or Not To Turbo An End673

[TakacsB67]

Hey everyone:

I was woundering is it do able to install a turbo onto a stock END673 Diesel or are there any special modifications needed to be made to the engine or the system? Woundering if I can juice up my B67 a bit.

You can just put the turbo on, but you'll need the pump redone to match to actually put the fuel needed to make power.

I've considered this, but don't want to screw up a nice running engine. The non turbo motors don't have oil cooled pistons and that adds to the possibility of scoring up cylinders.

Not that it can't be done, and survive, but I'll just hold out for a new motor.....someday.

Thanks for the advice.

I agree with Freightrain, you can do it, but there is more to it to make it "Right" I have heard that you may even need to change the injectors and reset the pump as well as changing pistons and adding piston oilers.
