My GT kohler swap with turbo!!!!

[Nitrobanshee 0]

I thought I would share My wheel horse mods with yall.

My buddy gave my the tractor with no motor in it, I had a kohler V-twin laying around so her it goes.

List of mods.

extended frame

V-twin kohler

26x12x12 rear tires

small turbo

Custom tow hitch

I broke the trans after the swap, so I made a spool for it.

Broke Spider gears

Turbo mock up

Custom pull hitch

Extended hood due to extended frame

All finished making 5PSI of boost

Thanks for looking

I think you need some mudflaps for your turbo horse.

Nice work...was it a salvaged turbo or something you ordered.

What kind of mods need to be made to the carb to handle the pressure.

How about a sound clip? :thumbs:

We need a vid of this thing!

Are you running oil to the turbo bearing or running it dry?

What a great 1st post!!

The turbo came from another friend, it needs a rebuild.

As far as the carb. belive it or not all I did is cut the needle off of the electric cut off and cut channels for the bowl vents into the venturie.

sorry I cant spell.

Pressurizing the float bowl makes the gas get in there under boost.

I will get a video up soon.

Ok let me see if my vids work. Oh I missed, the turbo is oil fed.

The kohler has a pressure oil system in it.

This first video is pre turbo but still funny. This is how the rear end broke the first time. Click on the pic to watch.

This video is a walk around while its running with turbo.

Thanks for all the welcome!

Hello and

With that monster you might want to go with a tranny that has the 8 pinion with 1 1/8" axles. Looks very fun.

I still make my horse do work, that is why I kep the original rear in it cause of all the gear options. The way I have my pulleys set up right now it does 20mph according to my GPS. It gets there in no time, it feels like 80mph because it gets a little twitchy up top.

Check this photo out, look for the horse sticker. Pretty cool!!

[bitten 134]

It is still an 8 speed just like the one you got, just a little more beefy.

[TT-(Moderator) 1,145]

Pretty cool!!

Speaking of which..........

Don't you think installing the flywheel fan and blower housing would be a good idea? :thumbs:

I want to but all the rules Ive seen around here is no power adders. Does not make sense to me because you can have a 2300CC motor in the unlimited class but not a turbo kolher.

I need to work on weights on it, it likes to spin to much. If you seen the farmall in the vid or pic, it ran out of gas down my driveway and I pulled it back on loose rocks after airing down the rear tires.

It would be awsome if I could find them, the motor did not come with them and the flywheel magnet does scare my badly. I beat on it hard and my head temps did not get over 200deg.

I put my wideband O2 on it the other weekend and got the fuel dialed in.

I had to plug up one of bowl vents, this left it with just one bowl vent in the carb. Plugging that one bowl vent made it run lean everywhere, this is what I wanted. So now that I had it running lean all I had to do is open the power jet to .026. This put my air fuel at 12.8 at 5-6PSI. Just cruising around it runs at about 11.8 but what can you do with a carb that was made to run at one RPM all the time.

Here is some more wheely action

[Cody 276]

Wow now that's impressive!!! Looks like a blast to drive.

I forgot to add the pic and video of my home made power jet. I call it red neck fuel injection. I was unshure how good it would work, it turned out pretty good.

I made it out of a dry nitrous fogger and I use nitrous jets to tune it.

here is the pic

This is it in action click pic to watch.
