I’ve been laid off for the past couple months, ya know chilling at home watching “My 600lb life” which becomes addicting apparently. So to kill time I took on alittle project and thought I’d share just for the hell of it. Decided to take my Lincoln Weldanpower Stick Welder and slap a turbo diesel on it. I changed it a bit since the picture but you get the idea. 2 cylinder Onan diesel (lister petter LPW2) K03 turbo and even little water to air intercooler :roflmao:. Hopefully fire it up for the first time soon just need to finish a few things up.

Now you are going to have to turn up the injectors to make use of all that extra air, then head stud it so you don't blow a gasket. Then your rods will be the weakest link so those will have to be upgraded, then the crank, pistons, etc.

Great project. Looks like a lot of fun

Yeah I thought about all that but there are zero preformance parts on the market for those engines. If It blows it blows and I’ll go get a little Perkins lol.
