I've read that diesel turbos can work fine on some gas engines cuz the type of fuel doesn't effect a turbo. I don't even think it'd fit on a hemi but heck thought I'd ask.

 

you no ive wondeed the same thing, we would prly not get any performance out of it but i always thought attaching one side to the intake tube and put a filter on the other side and just drive around to hear it spool

 

Or you could mount a Dyson with an air cleaner and run a switch to the interior. It'd be spooling' 24/7. Scare off some bow ties and ovals for sure.

 

If you are talking about a stock cummins Holset HX35 or HY35 turbo a hemi would probably spool it. Downside is towing with a turbocharged GASOLINE engine can create too high of an EGT (exhaust gas temp) and cause serious issues. If you can figure out how Ford runs the eco boost and keeps EGT's down while towing you would be fine. The main thing with the eco boost is it is twin turbo and the turbos are quite small.

 

And they like to burn out if you actually use them to tow.

 

Well I don't tow and like the other guy said I just love to hear them spool

 

There are people using the HX and HY35 snails on Hondas with excellent results. I'm confident that if a 1.6L can spool up a turbo that size with 8.5:1 compression to full boost at 3000rpm, then a Hemi that's almost four times the displacement can spool it with ease.

 

Hmmm I might just do this. Has seriously nobody on this forum not tried it? I don't wana be a guinea pig lol

 

You could do a remote turbo with an intercooler. That might keep the air charge down cool enough. But I wouldn't tow with it.

 

You can adapt just about anything with money and time. Towing would be no problem, just make sure you have the proper waste gate and a pyrometer guage to keep it under control.
