350Taco is absolutely correct, I have found with my Detroit and its addition of a Turbo, it gets better boost if I lug the motor a bit making it a little less efficient to build boost earlier. I even changed the gear drive ratio on the blower to try to follow the Turbo output better, so it...

I find it interesting that you "assume" that I am going to blow it up. You know there are people out in the world that probably have a whole bunch more experience modifying things than perhaps you do. You have no idea what I do and since you all think because you own something your way is the...

I have turbos, I have two fresh rebuilt ones for my Coach as spares........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqkY8GB9VW8 This is an example of going a little too far, this is Mike Harrah, he is one of my customers. Mike is a property developer here in southern California and he has A LOT of money. But this is a Diesel using supercharged boost successfully........

Actually I have built a Detroit Diesel and added a turbo and wet intercooled it in a 40,000 pound combination, so I have experience in power adding a heavy vehicle. The 8V71 I built was not a t motor either, so I was conservative with the boost only 7-9 pounds of boost depending on ambient...

Like M16ty said you may need a motor with more behind it, I got my M813 because I used to have a built Chevy C4500 with the motor up powered to about 850 Hp and the Allison built to handle it. I pulled a 48 foot trailer with it and ran it fairly hard. It was prone to breakage in the axle and...

First of all there is not too much resistance in the rotation of a geared Vortech Supercharger, secondly the pulleys are all light now and use a multi rib belts. I am looking at a modest torque increase just like my Detroit I built for my 32,000 pound bus. It pulls a 25 foot Stacker Trailer with...

Which ever method you use to move air through a motor, either one will be able to do it. One uses the exhaust power to turn the compressor and the other uses the mechanical power to turn the compressor. I know all about Detroits, I have one in my 40 foot Bus has a 8v71 I built, I added a turbo...

That big boy on the table has a 4 inch in and a 4 inch outlet, just what the doctor ordered![thumbzup]

I was just thinking about this very thing myself, I was at a Dyno Event that a friend of mine was putting on last Saturday. The people at Vortech were there and I was talking to them about putting one of their large belt driven Superchargers on my NHC and an adjustable waste gate, with a EGT of...
