Forced Air Induction.

Has anybody ever tried the use of force air induction on their tractor? I am in the process of having our local machinest build, a "blower" for me to mount to my carb. I know that I am going to have have to "work over" the fuel intake to compensate for the new air... any other remarks that I may take into account?

Some head cleanup work to reduce pre-ignition (knocking) might be needed if you get a really strong boost out of this. High-octane fuel, too.

You might need bigger carb jets to put more fuel into the mixture, and possibly an electric fuel pump to overcome the higher pressure in the venturi flow.

Was running a JD A or G (don't remember) used a Auto carb and a small Turbo. Looked like he made all his own plumbing. Did a real neat job. Didn't see him pull but it looked real neat.

If this really worked, don't you think that every automaker in the world would have this in production?

I would be more than happy to eat my words, IF you could post ACTUAL documented dyno results from say, a respected implement dealer (who would be willing to put their name on the document to certify the results). Heck, if you could find a dealer to do this, I would even pay for the cost of testing (I have got a great marketing idea for this system!).

Please elaborate (anonymously!) on the specific parameters that are altered and in turn cause the engine to make more power when you "flip the switch"...

Please contact me to setup the dyno day, time, and place. I will be there with bells on. BTW, if you fail to show any power increase, you owe me for the wasted time and travel expenses. I should also require payment for pain and suffering for having to hear of this ridiculous concept more than once!

Waiting anxiously,

P.S> I will let the rest of you know of the time and place of testing when it is setup. In case you would like to witness as well...

• Previous thread on this craziness is here...

Electrical system would be easy... its not like you would run it all the time.. just while pulling.. so it would have a low duty cycle... just have to have a decent alternator and some good cables.... Intresting concept.. a little quiter after the pics of the parts for sale on ebay... JDGnut

I would personally like you to know that it is a shot in the dark. I am always looking for ways to make my tractor improve, WITH OUT stroking it. It is not stroked, nor will it ever be. I remember reading a post along time ago that stated that the two cylinders are deprived of air. This is due to the stricken'd intake. Its just a shot in the dark.

I would like to draw your attention to a certrain tool called a velocity stack. Do you get the magazine called THE PULLER? If so, look at page one. Right inside the front cover. Notice the cruisin mule, the object that partrudes out the side of his IH is called a velocity stack. I have a friend that works at a major company in a city close to my town. The company is a refrigeration supplier. He is a machinest that works on the air induction into their units. He has spent countless hours, and company money on the research of the veloctiy stack. This fullels the air into the cooling chamber as he would call it. Just as it is funneled into the turbo inlet. Where does this apply to me? All I am trying to do is make it easier for the tractor to get the much needed air to perform at its peak, which is at our around an estimated 80... 85 horse. I know there is going to be some major fuel issues involved, thats why the carb is being workd over... tinkered with. By a person tractor master.

Dealing with the issue of rules. I have pulled against and beat in certain situations Oliver 88's. Yeah its sounds pretty same-o same-o. But, these Olivers had 1850 block inside of them. BIG DIFFERENCE. Oliver pullers, o my god, what a lucky group of people you are. I wish my 6030 could bolt into my G.. lol. Also, I would like to say that the tractors that I pulled against were some of the sharpest looking (different shade of green) and coolest sounding tractors that I have ever had a chance to watch (exception to the alchol burners at Tomah... wow). All I am saying is, im just trying to compete with you. With my 2 cylinders.

In conclusion. Im not angry, upset, any that dosent apply. Im just trying another idea. If it works, ill help any others that want some ideas dealing wtih it. Until then... its time to kill until the first pull of the year when I can take my tractor back to stalk and go another year.
