Thinking of putting a turbo on my 8210

[Thomas5060]

Evening everyone, so have been thinking lately of turboing my 8210 and have been wondering what turbo will suit and if I will need any other parts. Would a turbo from an 8340 suit? Or even from an 8360? Any advice Is appreciated

It's the same engine as a TW albeit with different pistons I think?

So would a turbo off a TW suit then?

That would be the easiest option.

Lynd tractor parts in co.tyrone does a complete turbo kit for an 8210, bolts straight on apart from a few hoses that have to be adapted, man I worked with put one on his 8210, I never really saw that big of a difference power wise, she did run a lot cleaner as far as smoke went, to be honest we thought that it would have made far more of a difference for pulling power, a year later she was replaced for a nh 8560, which is about 10 years now, and it can pull!

Are TB turbos finished ?? i put one of them on a 100 90 they are good turbos.

Not looking to get loads of power, would just like to make the most of the fuel she is using, if I had her at around 130/135 I'd be happy, hopefully I could get that power for the same amount of fuel I'm using atm

If you have lots of black smoke at the minute, it might well do what you want?

Yes lots and lots of it, so thought turbo might make most of my fuel instead of throwing it into the air

Anything else restricting it from getting plenty of air in, at the minute?
You should try it with the flexible inlet pipe off, just to see if it would clear.
Not for long though has you'd have no air filter ........

Don't think this 8210 complies with any emissions regulations!

Powerstar conversion? The battery has been moved to the cab steps so I don't think it's an 8210 engine

I don't think it's the original engine
It's hard to see but I think it's a powerstar out a TM or maybe a 70 series as it doesn't look like a 40 series injection pump
Do all 8210s not have the battery under the step?

If you'd are on facebook have a look on the ford 6cylinder page, there was a video put on on Sunday of an 8210 turbo, it's what I hope I to achieve

That could be the original position for the battery, I've never driven an 8210. Looks like it makes the cab steps on that side a bit pointless.

 

[Thomas5060]

Looks like a bigger battery than standard, maybe a cold country so bigger battery? The battery is under the steps on an 8210
