Turbocharging a 6V 53

badhabit · Jan 3, 2010

Does anybody have information on putting twin turbos on a 6V 53? I am putting this engine in a 1900 Oliver. I took a 453 out and want to put this in. This tractor is used strictly for tractor pulling. Any information would be appreciated.[/b]

There is a Two Stroke Detroit Diesel group over on yahoo.com. Those guys pretty well know every trick in the book.
Compression ratio, cam timing, turbo size and exhaust temp control are all critical. Water injection downstream of the turbo's and perhapes even intercooling will be vital.
A silver series 6V53TI would be a good base engine to start with.
