N85 injectors will give 425hp-but the typically the turbocharger on military engines are very large-hence they only work at higher RPM.  Maybe Don Fairchild can comment more-but I wouldn't suggest it for a bus-maybe a truck with at least a 10 spd.  Good Luck, TomC

Stay away from that turbo it uses a waste gate. The military turned some of those engine at 3200 rpm. The manifolds pipes and the air horn would be good to have. There are a lot better injectors then the N85, but if you like those I have some S90's you could buy real cheap. For those of you that want to turbo your engine the lowest or earlyest turbo you need to look for is a TV7101. The turbo I like the best for a 71 series engine inline or V and 6V92 is the TV7511 or TV7512 you can change the hot housing according to injector size. for the 8V92 I like the TV8211 TV8512 and again you can change the hot housing fo rthe injector size.

Hope this helps
