Hi Totally new here and to the world of turbos. What I need to do is get turbo power on my 1940 farm tractor its 152 cu in 4 cylinder runs at 1500 rpm when working . There is a guy in pa that sells kits but I figure I can fab manifolds. Been trying to study turbos ar and size. Recently bought one on ebay cheap to get the feel of a turbo me like. Cant ID it its a airearch stamped m24 ar 60 ar 48 on exhaust wastegate with vacum control water and oil cooled with plain brgs. What ar ratios wouuld I need for the slow rpm tractor can I just make a turn buckle to controll wastegate? Do i need to run coolant? Hope I dont sound like an idiot but I am a turbo Idiot thanks

you will need to find the turbo graph and do the calculations based on the compressor map, engine rpm and hp goal. without this information theres nothing we can do to help.

how big is the tractor engine? that turbo will probably be pretty well sized for your engine.

well Ive ID the turbo its a t3 ar 60 Ive found the map but dont know how to read it. Josh the tractor is 152 cu in which works out to 2.3 liters which is the size car motor it was on. Im just curious how the low rpm will work
