You can get them down to the 3hp range, for like a snowblower, mower, etc.

What kind of project are you coming up with?

Well I'm sure if has been done before, I just haven't seen it yet. I was thinking of putting a diesel motor into my golf cart, with some stacks or something. I am working on a Dodge body for the cart, so I figured I would try to put a diesel in it.

Also was wondering was the smallest turbo diesel was?

That would once again be the little nitro R/C cars, correct? Don't they make little aftermarket turbos for them?

Sorry guess I should have clarified a little better, Since I found out the R/C planes and cars, have diesel motors then I don't need the smallest, it does have to fit in a golf cart and make it run around the course.

Kubota has some little turbodiesels that might fit into a golf cart.

I have a 7.7hp Kubota liquid cooled diesel motor I will make you one hell of a deal on, I bought it to build a small generator with but I ended up finding a Lister 2 cyl diesel to use
