I did the exact same thing.... was on SS for a yr before buying my M923A1. I got mine off GL in Indy... 120 miles recovery. I took my pickup with my step-dad, who had been a truck driver for 50 yrs, took extra fluids of all sorts, emergency hose wrap, goop fix a flat, and $500 cash. I've driven...

Are there any events around Dayton OH? If not, would anyone around Dayton be interested in doing a monthly, bi-weekly "cruise-in"? I used to go to the Quaker Steak and Lube bike night or car cruise-in night weekly... was a lot of fun! If we get some guys interested, I'd be happy to go talk...

Cycletek, You by no means sound like a jerk.. in fact, I'm very curious to see what type of path you end up going with Vortech. That's the thing I was trying to say is that there are many way to Hot Rodding... that's the coolest part (at least to me) is seeing how each guy puts his creativity...

Yep, agreed there are challenges to consider.... like I said, I research variables, and go from there. Heat can be dealt with in many fashions... (aka water or alcohol injection, charge coolers, heck even ceramic coating the pistons... or switch motors completely. The thing I don't see much on...

For me? Well it's about wondering if I can... trying something different.... or just making it what I want. Playing with blowers isn't expensive when you have 4 or 5 different blowers sitting under the work bench, and access to CNC mills, plasma cutters, mig or tig welders, tube benders...etc...

Never said just bolt on a turbo to get the 100hp... and actually, getting another 100hp (more important is a 100ftlbs of torque), is a guess at a minimum it will take to get this truck to where it will really function. I am perfectly fine with fabrication, modding, tinkering, or completely...

palskidoo, what class do you run your tractor in? I've grown up in the 7,200lb modified tractor and 2wd modified truck classes with my family. My dad currently runs a tripple BB chrysler modified tractor. The thing I like about the pulling sport is that you get to see a thousand ways to solve a...

There are several classes of supercharger... major classes are attached (such as roots style, Eatons, Whipples, KenBell, etc) and non-attached (Paxton/Vortech, etc) The Vortech are like a belt driven turbo. The pros of the Vortech over a turbo is you don't have the exhaust restriction, no...

WELL SAID Cycletek!!! I too have been into Tractor and truck pulls, drag racing, SCCA racing, go-cart racing for 40+ yrs. I was racing go-carts at 5yrs old, and learning to fabricate on it from them on. My dad has been into truck and tractor pulls forever.. and has anyone ever looked at a...

I know a few guys in the pulling world that are into the Super Stock tractors running 1,500HP twin and tripple turbo diesel tractors.. crazy stuff. I talked to one this evening and he got a little too excited to play with my truck.. I told him I wanted to keep the auto trans, and not looking to...

Nice specs... Keep me posted on the progress of this project... Turbo's are ok, but I'll take a blower anyday!! Just curious if these NH250's can hold up. Since I'm not planning to do any max hauling or towing with it, the drivetrain should be ok.. it would be nice to amp up the HP and Torque...

Holy crap... what kind of airflow did that big boy have??

And when looking at our specific application... aka.. low RPM power and torque... Nothing beats a blower. So it seems it would be a great fit. Now, I don't know these NH-250 motors weaknesses, hince my question. I've read a few posts on here about guys puting a turbo on the NH-250 and running...

LOL.. ok thanks for the lesson, but I've been around blowers on gas engines since I was 10 yrs old.. running on pulling tractors, pulling trucks, drag cars, street cars.. we even built a blown lawn mower once out of spare parts just for kicks! lol I've owned blown and turbo cars all my life.. I...

Anyone ever try to put a supercharger on the NH-250?? In the gas world, I've put blowers on all kinds of engines, and typically like that kind of lowend power MUCH better than turbos... seems it would suite this application well so long as you didn't go nuts with the boost. Thoughts??

WOW... thanks Hasbeen... Much appreciated! I just got my 923A1, and am finding it a bit gutless to say the least. I've driven big trucks most of my life, even up to running 10,000 gal Jetfuel trailers for the Navy. I've also worked on all kinds of gas engines. Just never had the need to crack...

It would great to see a parts list it took to do your Turbo conversion..... I am wanting to do this on my 923A1 as well. Awesome truck you have!!

VERY curious to see how your install goes... Keep up posted with progress pics!!! :)

Do you have any documentation on how to do this? I have tons of experience modifying all sorts of gas motors, but have zero experience playing with big diesel motors... Definitely a newb with these, but always willing to learn!

How much are the Turbo kits for a 923A1.....??
