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.

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.
