  • B3 Turbo and a Lawnmower

    Ok so I got this turbo and have it mounted on the exhaust but I think the radiator crossmember is restricting my turbine outlet. What should I do to fix this? It pulls really hard at 15lbs. The manifold doesn't make the air filter all that hot unless I'm in traffic.






    I started out putting this thread in the turbo section of the forums but when I was in photobucket the next group of pics below was of my lawnmower project so I'm sticking it on here.

    I need an engine then the racemower can start to take shape!

        Cool!

        Where'd you get that Craftsman Nanocompact car? Gonna put a trailer hitch on it to carry a passenger or two?

        As for your turbo, I'd cut out the front top crosspiece for more room and run a high quality garden hose to it from the side of your house. That should solve any cooling issues!

          Just direct the turbo exhaust right through the radiator, and then you can just remove the radiator fan completely! Think of the weight savings and the money you'll get $elling the fan on e-bay, you could have packaged it up with the injector harness! (You posing by that field isn't too corny).

              I think you could get a B3 in that mower with a little extra reinforcement.

                Aiden wants your tractor, he said it would look good with his. He said he would ride his up and tow it home. his has been lightly modded, we installed a later steering wheel, retrofitted a 3.5HP Briggs Quantum off a pushmower, and installed a key in the left rear wheel so it has posi, it pushes like a dumptruck in the turns but it keeps him from spinning to many doughnuts in my yard.
