Hi y'all,

The saga of my slowpoke Winnebago continues. OK, here goes. I was told that when putting a turbo on my 6.2 I should upgrade to the 6.5 heads, due to the bigger valves, bigger combustion chamber = more power. Any thoughts? As always, I thank you all in advance.

A properly setup turbocharger on a formerly NA 6.2 will add 30-40% more power.

If you want to push harder, yes, 6.5TD heads, the 130-gpm serpentine water pump, intercooler, and more will make it easier to reach above what the NA 6.2 would be capable of with just the addition of a turbo.

is there a HO v-belt waterpump, I have a military truck and shiver to think about the crap i'd go through to convert the dual 100amp alternators over to a serp system.

Am I just too stupid to find anything on the web or does Peninsular's site totally stink? Geez, they could spend the cost of one engine on a web designer and double their sales in a month....

Sorry, venting over now. I just had a standard water pump installed yesterday. Had to let it out.

Their site blow chunks. :mad:

I'm looking for other sites that list it, will post a link if i find one.

I have a turbo on my 6.2 and have read that its better to replace injectors with the 6.5 turbo injectors too...Is this true? Or does it not really matter?

[ccatlett1984]

you can just have your 6.2 injectors rebuilt to 6.5 specs. they pop at a higher pressure which allows better atomization and a more complete burn, so you arent wasting fuel as EGTs/smoke. if you have a higher mileage injector pump it might not play nicely with having to build more pressure to pop the injectors.
