M44a2 engine mods

[IMA944T]

Looking at buying a 1971 M44a2 and it's the non turbo model and would like to know if anybody has any tech spec's or knowledge on installing a turbo from the turbo model engine? Have heard that non turbo model could be different in CI displacement poss.
Have found pieces it would take, but need to know if there are any spec's on what turbo engine has injector timed at etc. Also if there is any differences in the two engines other than turbo. Like the compression, injector sizing, bore stroke etc. Would also like any help on other web sites that may help on this issue.

Welcome to this group and the very best source for info regarding Multifuel engines (and much more)!
There is a nice search function, just start with Multifuel turbo install... You'll find http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index....storder=asc&highlight=multifuel+turbo+install

Have fun!

Thanks for the info, It was more than I've recieved after several emails. I wonder if you could use a after market style turbo for better performance? Would like to be able to run 60 mph and maybe 50 on hills if poss. Going to look into some hub lock outs and hopefully some other stuff if people will reconmend for gaining slight improvment in highway speed. Not really worried about what it does loaded. Anybody know how much boost turbo engine gets in stock form? I need a Gale Banks rebuilt performance turboed diesel engine. Something that would spin 3000 to 3200 reliablly, Yeah Yeah thats what I need.

Check out this multifuel diesel if you want to repower.

Westech runs his deuce 60 MPH everywhere he goes. I'll do mine up to 60 for short periods of time but feel better at 55 and even better at 52

Beleve it or not the stock turbos will put out more CFM's than the engine can digest. I'm working on a "d" model here at work and have gotten it to push 618CFM at 11PSI on the test bench. When i got it it produced 523CFM at 11PSI. I've done alot of machine work to the charge air casing and exaust gas casing. The orignal air filters are only rated for about 390CFM. And with out some serious porting of the intake and heads i dout the engine could ever move more than 400 CFM. My truck can easily pull redline in high gear climbing the toll bridge here. And i'm running the stock "c" turbo on it for now. Although i do have the fuel rate turned up alot.

Whats the easy way to tell the diff between C and D turbo? 11 pounds of boost seems real low for a desiel engine even if it's a older one. Where is a good place to learn about the different turbos and other stuff for engine.

Could not get the mrvint page to open up may be something wrong with my computor.

thats not really a low boost amount, my 6.2L for example can only handle about 14psi MAX. the banks kit puts out 9-12psi.

11 PSI is a happy medium we use for flow testing. It's not at idle and not at max output.
The easiest way to tell a C from a D is to look at the tag. But if you have heard one before you can hear a C wistle from very long distances. Some love the wistle and others can't stand it. The D model is quieter and is better built. It has a internal heat shield that alowes it to handle more abuse. I'll post you some pics soon.

I just checked the link I posted and it opened here fine. It is a PDF file with a newer multifuel engine being used for a robotic boat.

Has anyone tried a better flowing air cleaner and ram air? Since the increased air flow is really only needed for pulling hills at higher speeds ram air might be very effective for little money. Or is the real limatation in the head?
At my altitude 9400 ft lack of air is alway the biggest problem.
Test ram air pics later today.
