Pics of my 7.3 IDI Buildup...

IHDiesel445 · Feb 15, 2011

Been a while since I was last on here, but wanted to share my pics. My dream is slowly becoming a reality...

All my pics are on a Facebook album, so here is a public link for all to see.

It looks really good so far keep us posted on how she runs. ;Sweet

****.... Man that metal is gleaming.... I do question your use of smurf poop on the areas of the head gasket though.... not that it's a a problem but you shouldn't need it.

I remember the days of getting my fingers in an engine at that level... I actually envy you a little... not the cost wise but just getting my hands dirty doing the work... Remember these times... they should be cherished... now you can use my old saying... which is....

I have touched this truck in places you can only dream about...

hee hee...

The "smurf poop" was used in a thin bead around the water passages only. This was Hypermax's recommendation that this be done with their C-ring gasket kit.

Thanks for the complements!

Man, that is a WICKED build! I have to say, out of everything pictured, I am most impressed with that ******** manifold setup! I always thought about something like that but didn't know if it could be done...question answered. ;Sweet

Thanks for sharing this. It'll be really interesting to see how this thing runs and how streetable it is. That sure is a huge turbo. I am really impressed you made all those manifolds yourself. Custom turbo system from scratch, really awesome. Also will be interesting to see what it makes on the dyno. How did you get the CR down to 17:1?

88beast · Feb 15, 2011

nice build i like the clean room idea and those manifolds rock where did ya get the flanges? i need one for my setup to be complete

93fordturbo · Feb 15, 2011

Hey, if u dont mind me asking, what kinda money is in something like that?? if you would rather not share i understand. Just curious

Jake_IN · Feb 15, 2011

I can go to the album but when i click on the pictures it says they're unavailable :dunno

Still looked cool looking at the small pictures though ;Sweet

What cam are you running, and where did you get your pistons?

6 Nebraska IDIs · Feb 15, 2011

Very nice build. I was surprised to see you werent going to run an intercooler, but I'd imagine with the exhaust manifolds and turbo setup like that, its gonna flow so fast you might not need it anyway. Very nice build though. Makes the engine build for my brown truck look like a 5yr old's soap box derby build. lol

6 Nebraska IDIs · Feb 15, 2011

Oh yea, I can't see the pics either, except in the album forum.

yea i was surprised too

lol whenever you compress air it gets hot no matter how quick its moving hahaha LOL

88 Ford · Feb 15, 2011

Ya that is definitely an awesome build! How did you lower your compression and how do plan on starting it once the build is done?

I also noticed you are from Norfolk, you Navy?
