Re: hey bondo, check this out....a turbo charger for an IL6

Hey bondo,<br /><br />Yes i spoke to one of them, the other was out of town.<br />Sounds like a match. I'm just a little concerned about my FWC system........put alot of work into that as you well know. Will the raw water be able to exit via the elbow still? I'm not so sure.....can't tell from the pic.<br />If I can get it cheap enough I will probably go for it......<br />I may have to "re-jet" the carb. Will I have trouble getting the jets for this carb? Think its a Rochester.

What about octane? Will the tirbocharger increase the compression causing a requirement for higher octane?<br /><br />The auction is almost over............... :)

Ron7000 , No they were not superchargers, they are turbos, This is on a old Fountain, I know the owner of this boat, But I can understand why you question whether or not I'm confused since Its the only Offshore Rig I'v seen with Turbos also.

Ron7000,<br />At a 3psi or 5psi boost, an aftercooler is Not necessary...........<br />
and passes a turbo which absorbs exhaust gas heat of around 1000-1400 deg F.
This is on the Exhaust side,+ quite irrelevant.........

Not sure if you guys realized this but that turbo is for the 4 banger series Mercs (470 etc). He says its for 1978- mid 80s. 250 I6 ended in 76 or 77 I believe. Those 4 bangers had aluminum heads.
