I just got a new riding lawnmower and it's got a 25hp engine that looks perfect for a turbo. I have plenty of 1 5/8 and 1 3/4" piping left over from a past project, more for fun than anything else.

Maybe someone knows, but perhaps a turbo off of a VW TDI motor, might be small enough. Going to the lawn mower nats?

Back in the day, we used a Garrett GT12 and a GT15 on a 600 Yamaha FZR in the Formula SAE car. Had a few small IHI units as well.

Those were tiny

Come to think of it, those guys will be in town this month.

Yes they will. Think you can snap some pics of anything interesting if you make it there Harlan? Especially if it deals with U of Delaware (just couldn't ever find the time to help out with that bunch when I was there).

I'll see what I can do. They should be arriving at the Silverdome starting today.

I haven't made it to the competition in the last couple years, so i'm gonna try to make it this year.

According to the SAE website, there are 140+ teams registered this year. That's crazy. It was below/or near 100 6 years ago when I was on the team.

Just hoping to see Cornell take the #1 spot again Go Big Red!!
