Question if anyone has ever put a turbo on a WF. I have one from work off a yanmar diesel. Small Turbo. The machine it came off of is getting a new one cause the old one i have is "locked up" and the seals are bad. There is no core charge on it, so i was going to keep it and rebuild it and hopefully throw it on my WF as a fun little project!

Anything is possible with enough time and money. You would have to build a completely new manifold to accommodate it. The low oil pressure system in the WF might be a problem keeping the turbo properly lubricated and cool. Sounds like a lot of work for little reward. If you want a turbo on your WF, Keystone builds a kit that is pretty much bolt on. In your case, you would have to make everything from scratch. Personally, I could spend my time and money on other projects.

I think the lack of adequate oil pressure would be my main concern..

Turbos have a orffice to limit the amount of oil. MACK

From My personal experience I'd be concerned about the weakness of the bottom of the block at increased power. I've seen more than a few of the 226 blocks with the main caps shattered and the supporting areas of the block destroyed. As Mack said , even though turbos need to be oiled, the smaller ones don't use muck. Were I to turbo a 201/226 block I would refit it for a full flow filter system and build in some added support for the crankshaft mains.
Now if you just want a toy that has a whistle without performance get a Keystone kit and have fun.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

I'd call it Turbo WTF, or Turbo t**d.

PaulB is correct, much power and it will pull the main webbing out of block. Been there. MACK
