I have a 16hp 3 cylinder diesel garden tractor. I am turboing it. Anyone ever done this or have any suggestions?

I have thermocouples on the exhaust manifold pointing into the head exhaust ports and I am getting a digital tachometer for the engine.

There is a "govonor" screw like all the old mechanical diesels and I am thinking all I need to do is turn this up a little to get some more fuel into the engine.

Its a little guy:



Larger one for initial mockup:



And the theromcouples:



I know this is off topic, but I figured a bunch of you would know some stuff about this. If there is a better place to ask let me know but we will start here.

 

Good luck but i want to see video of this little bastard strapped to a dyno

 

Im Damn Interested To See How It Does.... What Compression Are You At Right Now?? Will The Engine Bottom End Handle The Pressure?? What Shape Are The Cylinders, Rings In?

 

DAMN THAT LOOKS ABOUT BIG ENOUGH FOR MY 4.8
