More air equals lower temps with a diesel.

One of my twins went bad, so I pulled that setup, and I'm now running the same turbo as FTE. The only time that I need to keep an eye on the heat is under 1800RPM. The turbo doesn't get into the efficiency zone on mine until a bit over 2000RPM. I'm working on a setup to address that.

Hey RED, have you tried that larger I/C yet?

No, it's going to require all new I/C plumbing. I'm replacing my radiator next weekend, so I might get to it then.

What is the weight of a Kubota V2203 dry? What is the weight after all of the accessory brackets have been installed? I am wondering if this would be an option is something a little more aerodynamic like an F Body Camaro or even a Vette?

I didn't weigh it but I did take a before and after ride height and it wasn't any different than the 2.3 4cyl that it replaced.

Welcome to Diesel Bombers.

But it would be nice if you would go here and Introduce yourself. Diesel Bombers Introduction - Diesel Bombers

Then pay attention to what the thread is about and post helpful information or ask a question.

Otherwise please by all means start a new thread.

I think the advertised weight from Kubota is 396lbs. I think that is alternator only. NOT the Carrier configuration. And that is the newest model year. I will have a weight on mine in the next day or two I will let you all know

I am still very curious of your findings.
