RA28 Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Twin turbo, 27L Motec injected V12 - in a tractor? - 1.5MB of pics Wed, 02 February 2005 03:37 Well, as Rubies of eventide (I've been hooked for a couple of days...) server is down, I may as well share this with you. It was at the tractor pull on the weekend at Wakefield. I talked a bit to the owner, he said it is the NA version of the Merlin engine (it's not called merlin) that was in a tank in WWII. He attached a couple of snails and lightened/balenced the bottom end (to add 1000 RPM making the redline - wait for it - 3600RPM!!). It's 27 litres, and he said that it was estimated to be making 2000HP on 20PSI before the injection (I assume it ran carbs) but now with better tuning, he's hoping to get 30PSI into it and make close to 3000HP. I got some pics. I wish I had more. I always get home from something and say, Why didn't I take more pics of this?! Also of note was the vast array of tractors which had more than 1 engine, including one running 2 13B's (no turbo's or ecu's in sight, unfortunately). Twin 13B's I think there should be some sort of law, disallowing this many engines powering one vehical without a turbo... Turbo conversions don't get much simpler. The oil was tapped on the top of the oil pump, fed into the top of the turbo, and dripped straight into the rocker cover... And here's one doing it's thing... Tim Disclamer: In no way do the photo's or information contained within this post mean I actually went to the tractor pull. I meerly, er, guessed.
