Evening chaps. Is there somewhere I can either purchase a kit for, or scavange the bits for turboing one of these?

Good article in last months Classic Tractor Magazine about a guy who fabricates just what you’re after.
February 2020 edition I believe.

[emoji23][emoji23] It would Bob every now and again anyway dependant on what was on the linkage

The 6 cylinder engine is not known for the strength of its crankshaft, and a good number of naturally aspirated ones seem to have given up prematurely. A lift in power is not going to help its longevity, and last i heard, they were an unobtainable part

The 94s cranks were fine it's the batch of dodgy oil pumps that were fitted that are the problem.
I think the 1690t and the 1694s had turbo pistons tho

Turbo piston are already fitted to 1594 Tractors. not sure if they have Turbo exhaust valves fitted or not. oil cooler is a must either air to oil or water to oil . Has your tractor had a engine oil pump during its working life if not then I recommend you remove to see if it has the hardened gears fitted. You need to remove the sump anyway to remove swarf when you drill the block to fit oil return .
I would also rebuild the heads cut seats and replace head gaskets with some good quality ones. Timing also need altering along with a turn of the fuel screw. Makes a huge difference when turbo is fitted . turns a lazy engine into a complete animal.

You need to put up that video of the one you started up in your little toy box shed and show everyone what a animal is ?
