L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

Thanks Mike. I’ve come through a second winter with the turbo conversion on my B2650, and while it’s doing well, I think I’m leaving some horsepower on the table. This year I am planning to experiment with tuning.

This is cool that your kits are starting to find there way into other machines. It adds to the growing database of knowledge that had been lacking for a long time.

You’re welcome.

What we’ve found, is that there isn’t a particular fuel setting that will work to maximize power and performance on every tractor. We believe this is mainly because of the varying tolerances of the injection pumps themselves and the injection pump installation at the factory (some have shim(s) and some don’t), in addition to possible modifications made by the tractor owner prior to the Turbo Kit installation. Moreover, elevation plays a crucial role in determining fuel settings as well. Each setup is different.

We still have customers operating their Turbocharged tractors on factory fuel settings and ones that are turning up the fuel as much as possible to achieve maximum performance.

I’m sure you’ll find that perfect setting with additional experimentation. The key is to monitor your EGT’s and make sure you’re operating safely.

Yup, I kinda figured there’s no one magic fuel setting for all tractors. The trick on mine is finding the fuel adjustment screw, as it is not in the same place as the 2501. That will be this year’s project before the snow flies again in fall.
