I have a little Kubota 14.5HP (570CC) twin cylinder engine I have been playing with for a few years now. Its on a little pallet and I just run it for my amusement. I have just inherited this little turbo form a Mitsubishi truck and I got to thinking about fabbing up a manifold and mounting it to the little engine.

Do you think this turbo is too big? I know its too big to operate correctly or efficiently but I am wondering if it will work at all?

Also, if anyone knows how to crank up the fuel on this thing I would max it out and even possibly send out the injectors to get them hogged out as well. This is just a toy thing and it wont break my heart if it blows. It needs more smoke, it barely smokes on acceleration. If I can get this thing pourin' out smoke and have a turbo whining I may just have to find a golf cart or Cushman little truck to put this thing in.

 

I think you are crazy but should try it!

 

should be able to spool it i will ask around here at the shop and see if anyone around here knows how to make her smoke

 

Turbo too big??? Is that possible?? I'd say go for it.

 

I guess I should have stated it differently. I am going to mount this thing up, I guess I need to know how to crank her up. I will be sure to update with pics once I get everything going.

 

NOS? You're the big gas man, and you're not worried about blowing it, do some experimenting!!!

 

I need some fuel for the gas to work

I can find nothing on turning up the fuel to this thing anywhere. I know I am not the first person to think of turning up a Kubota engine.

I also wondered about putting a fuel nozzle in the exhaust before the turbo to put some fuel in there to burn and light the oversized turbo.

I have visions of one of these with 2 5" chrome stacks belching black smoke. They only came with 20-25hp engines, I bet that little Kubota could do that.
