H.E.A.V.Y

Naw, but seriously... it's all I can do to lift that thing... for comparison, I can lift a D-series Honda engine and carry it on good days, in my arms.

I lifted this OM636 up with a chain around my neck/shoulders on a small pad, and it was all I could do to stand up just to get it to swing where I wanted it, cuz walking with it wasn't an option.

I'd have to chance a guess around 500#.

Reason for choosing the OM636 - it was free.

So could I build more low-end with the 636 by adding a small turbo? Small as in IHI RHB5-VJ11 (OEM on a 2.2L I4 Mazda 626 GT... or I have a OEM T25 too... would either of those work without an intercooler, and without serious mods to the injector pump?
