underhood air intake
I did an experiment on this a while back and did a write up on another forum. The Test vehicle is my 4 Door Bronco with a 7.3 and I think the results are very telling for what you are asking about. Understand, it's not a perfect experiment, but still pretty good...- smooth

Looking for a Banks Turbo Gasket, any suggestions?
The best I have is this: It's where the up-pipe flange bolts to the Turbo. I appreciate the help regarding the gasket, I'd been wasting a lot of time looking for it. I'll see about getting back there and seeing what the bolts look like. The good news is, I am confident the leak is there...- smooth

Another Happy Moose Pump Owner!
Ya, intercooler is definitely on the list of things to do, of course I'll need to find one first and then go from there. My pump turn around was very quick. I'm guessing since Mel is working off cores he already has instead of rebuilding the one I sent in that speeds things up. I think it was...- smooth

Another Happy Moose Pump Owner!
No problem! Just figured out that I can break a back tire loose from a dead stop...and for the following 100 feet! Considering this is an automatic, how much this rig weighs and the fact that I'm running 35's without regearing (no idea what factory was) I think it's very impressive! The old...- smooth

Another Happy Moose Pump Owner!
Well, I've finished timing my truck and absolutely love how much better the truck performs with the moose pump. My setup is a 94 van IDI in my 92 Centurion 4-door Bronco with a pre-sidewinder banks turbo kit (non-wastegated), 4 inch exhaust after the down pipe, no muffler, mandrel bend over the...- smooth

Looking for a Banks Turbo Gasket, any suggestions?
So, my pre-sidewinder Banks turbo has an exhaust leak where the Y-pipe flange bolts to the Turbo. I haven't pulled it off yet, but I imagine I'm going to find a blown gasket. Any suggestions on where to find/make a replacement? Thanks, MoMo- smooth

banks kit shift cable problem
If you are talking about what I think you are, I ran into the same problem. Here are two pics for how I fixed the problem. The metal 'tore' a little when I bent it, so I welded up the cracks before reinstalling it. It was a pain, but it works fine. Sorry I don't have any pictures...- smooth

Older Banks pros/cons
I've really enjoyed mine. Like you mentioned, mine doesn't spool fast. In fact, around town, I barely get above 1-2 lbs., but at highway speed, on the inclines, it's a nice additive. It fun to watch boost roll up with little in the way of additional pedal/RPM's. Mine currently tops out...- smooth

HELP! Vacuum pump/booster issue!
Sorry, I replaced it already. The good news is, I had the truck running while I was under the dash unbolting it, and I could hear the air leak. So, definitely was the problem, just really weird that that remaned vacuum pump went and then the booster went (probably already had a slow leak...- smooth

HELP! Vacuum pump/booster issue!
I'll check the pushrod today as I'm removing the booster, but I never removed it as long as I've owned the truck, so if it is, the PO may have done it. As for the lbs. v. inches, sorry, I couldn't remember which it is. So, once the booster is out, is there anyway to determine it is bad...- smooth

HELP! Vacuum pump/booster issue!
It was pulling 19-20 lbs at idle, I had heard 21 was bare minimum. Plus, my cruise would work, but couldn't hold the speed under load (i.e. going up even a slight incline, the speed would slowly drop off and eventually drop out of cruise) so I figured the vacuum pump was going. Once the pedal...- smooth

HELP! Vacuum pump/booster issue!
Okay, I replaced my vacuum pump since my pedal had been getting hard and it had been making noise. There's a long story here about me ending up having one of the wierd Jan-March 1992 pumps, but I digress. I put on a remand Cardon pump, second trip out lost power brakes. Took it off today and...- smooth

where to get bigger exhaust
Okay, here you go. Cold start, outside revving and inside revving. It is a 92 Centurion C350 with a 94 7.3IDI with a Banks pre-sidewinder, non-wastegated turbo, three inch down pipe, to 4 inch straight pipe, to 6 inch tip. No muffler. Click on picture to redirect to video (sorry, didn't...- smooth

I did as everyone is suggesting, thought I would post a couple of pics. 3' to 4' adapter, I think I got it from Napa Mating sleeves I ordered from summit Here you can see the tailpipe from Napa, it's a really nice piece (along with unnecessarily large 6' tip from summit) Real easy job...- smooth

If this offer is still available, I could use the same thing sent to 93f250idi. I need the cruise control diagram for a 92 F350 IDI. Electrical and vacuum if you have. E-mail is smoothbronco(at)yahoo.com Thanks, and I hope you get better! MoMo- smooth

Intake Air Temperature Experiment
So, I recently installed an overhead console I got and along with relocating some gauges I already had, I picked up a Dakota Digital Outside Temperature Gauge (part #ODY-15-1-S-T) and sending unit (part #SEN-15-1). (No, those aren't "speed holes" I just decided to put my gauges elsewhere...- smooth

while running, wait to start light comes on, then truck stalls???
So I replaced the cylinder and it did it again. It definitely loses power to the glow plug controller AND the injector pump. So, other than the ignition switch on the column, what, electrically, goes to both the glow plug controller and the IP? Thanks, MoMo- smooth

while running, wait to start light comes on, then truck stalls???
Okay, so recently, my wait to start light wasn't coming on when I turned the key to the on position. Truck would crank all day but wouldn't fire. I assumed it was the glow plug relay, and I had a spare, so instead of testing anything, I just swapped them out and that solved the problem. Wait...- smooth
