pull up any tractor website...john deere, kubota, case....look at the engine specs, only a few have turbos. but if he's the certified master turbo only technician that he claims, he'll have an answer for that. maybe he just watched a "how it's made" show and now knows all about them. or maybe he just stayed at a holiday inn express.

my understanding about Dodge early diesel power pick ups is that they did not have a turbo. this is back in the 1980's when the diesel idea went to the street driver. dodge trucks with this power plant were sluggish and grandma could pass it with a walker in hand!

then late 80's they added turbos to the cummins line for dodge. so the later 1st generation dodge truck with cummins diesels were finally turbo powered but not intercooled. 90's came and they added intercoolers around 91 or 92 to the cummins..

the turbo increased air flow
the intercooler decreased air flow temp on intake increasing horsepower and general power output.

my 93, the lastof the first gen , has an intercooler and turbo...only thing wrong with the set up, the turbo is TOO SMALL for the engines output. theres a 3 - 8 second spool lag and it still does not give the desired air flow to the intake.

when the 2nd gen's started in 94 with the new body styles, things started to change, but notnecassarily right away.

step forward to the NEW 3rd gen 5.9's and 6.7's. spool lag? huh??? 6 speed trans...somethin was doen right finally ...except for the danf exhaust crap...

basically, no early cummins powered dodges w/ out turbo or intercooler are desired.

find a second gen 12valve or newer. or be prepared to spen mullah on a late 1st gen 12valve for some upgrades..

Cummins does make a non turbocharged ISB. . .but only have a very low HP output, but massive torque. you can find these engines in wood chippers. . .I used to run oneyou could start that bad boy with the cutting blade, and hydraulics on. . .it was a beast that you could put an entire tree through and it wouldnt choke down.

now, when Chrysler went to cummins to get their power plant in the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, Cummins actualy wanted to put in a 4BT. it had the power specs needed, good thing Chrysler was so behind the 6 cylinder w/turbo

89-91's were aftercooled, there was an air to water aftercooler before the intake to cool down the air charge. only problem is the water would only cool the air down to what it's temp was. not as efficient as an intercooler what shated in 92.

you want a non-turbo non blower diesel. . .we have plenty of them in the military, mabe by Cummins and power some trucks. . .if you want photo proof I can have it in just a few min.

personaly. . .the guy is talking out of his 4th point of contact.
