However, if it is capable of heating the air to improve burning in cold weather (when fed with hot water), it is equally capable of cooling the air.... IF... you feed it with cold water. Perhaps the coolant passages could be rerouted so that the coolant jacket is fed by a separate water system...

Good luck, and let us know how your engine rebuild goes ;-) -Chuck

These are very basic turbos. The exhaust drives the turbine, and the compressor is plumbed directly to the intake manifold. There is no waste gate or bypass controls whatsoever. The fuel control, and the governor are the only things that keep the turbo from making excessive boost. Remember...

I think they should be able to do 200K+, .... but what I think has little to do with how they actually perform. The government was expecting these to be used in VN line haul duty, which had them running more than 2000 mile per month mostly on unimproved roads, and they were breaking at 10,000...

That would be the LDS-465-2 engine. They did all of those modifications so they could turn up the fuel for another 50HP over the unmodified LDT-465 engine. Continental easily got 200HP continuous power out of that same block at 2100RPM, and with an 18 to 1 compression ratio. MF, with its...

The problem with raising the power in a deuce all comes down to the same issue: The engine has a 22 to 1 compression ratio. If you up the fuel, you are going to up the exhaust volume. If you up the exhaust volume, you are going to up the turbo speed. If you up the turbo speed, you are going...
