HAHAHAHA! It might be a tight fit, but do it! You'll probably need to upgrade your tranny though.

Not excatly the High Revving type of engine you might be use to. But definaly more powerful!Turbo it? This is the largest one I can find, I don't think it'll do much.

These engines are already turbocharged - they are two stoke diesels and must be turbocharged or supercharged (sometimes two stoke diesels will get both). When the piston approaches the bottom of the cylinder the exhaust valve opens and the piston uncovers ports in the bottom of the cylinder that allow air to enter the cylinder at the bottom and push the burned fuel/air mixture out the exhaust valve at the top of the cylinder. The incoming air must be pressurized to be able to force the exhaust out the top of the cylinder. In the diagram for the engine you can see the snail shaped outline of the turbocharger on the right side of the engine - and I am sure that it is really BIG! It is possible that each cylinder could have it's own turbocharger - or that several cylinders could share a turbocharger.Dave
