In Reply to: Turbo Kit for a BX2200? posted by David Byrum on Saturday, February 23, 2008:
Hey David,
What size is ur engine?
I have done a couple turbo installs on Kubotas.
The latest one was on my B7300 with a 722 cc engine.
I am running about 7 p.s.i. boost and increased my h.p. from about 15 pto to 21 pto.
It is a kubota turbo made by mitsubishi. I think
the kubota part # is 16881-17010. I can make sure later when I get back to the lab.
However, That turbo does not have published A/R ratios, trim, wheel dia, and all the other stuff you need to match to ur engine.
If ur engine is larger than 722 cc then you can possibly get more than 7 psi from this one. But it's about $1300.
There is a small turbo in this range I've been spying on in e-bay that has published specs.
It is a little Garrett GT 1241. ebay #180147153811.
That one would be a very good start with an engine size of around 800 cc to 1100 cc. And with those #'s you can figure which way to go with the ratios and trim to get what u want. And that little critter even has a gate.
You will still have to build your mounting and oiling system but that is part of the fun.
Theoretically you can calculate dead on which turbo to put on ur engine but you will need to pull the head off and slap it on a flow bench to get the volumetric efficiency #'s
Sometimes "try it and see" works. If it don't, then sell it and get another with the #'s you need.
Also get a baseline hp from the p.t.o. dyno at ur dealer before you start. Then you'll know if all that beer drinkin and parts makin is worth it.
Let us know how it works out. Good luck.
enuf blabbin fer now. tom
