First thing would be to figure out the easiest/cheapest way to lower your CR drastically.

Somebody..help him na, I would but I don't know about diesel tuning. I know they don't use spark plugs and have really high compression in order to ignite the mixture....that's it. He has a N/A LD28 and wants to turbocharge it...help him out with where he can find parts, approx. cost, labour involved, parts he will need etc.

I could address this, but first let me say... this is not going to be as simple as turbocharging a gas engine. Because of a NA diesel's extremely high CR, drastic changes have to be made wrt the comb. chamber to lower the CR.

It may involve changing or machining pistons, hogging out of the comb. chambers (this would usually upset the head burn design). I am not sure if the L28 turbo manifold fits the LD28 head, if it does, then a big part of your project is done for you. I am sure X2Board or Allan would be able to tell you more.

Just remember that when you turbo this engine, you will be shortening it's lifespan.
