Anyone own a 1994 F350 CC with the original & unmodified 7.3 factory K turbo engine ?
Final assembly was in Kentucky .......
The biggest improvement and most sought after option for 1993 was the introduction of the first factory turbo option. This option was available for the two remaining years of IDI production and is significant for several reasons. From the very beginning of the 6.9 liter production, a turbocharger was considered, but the normally aspirated engine was already a $2000 option and the addition of the turbo would nearly double that figure. Many believed that the extra amount on the sticker in the mid ‘80’s would put it over the edge price wise. Luckily, companies such as Gale Banks Engineering, Advanced Turbo Systems (ATS), and Hypermax saw this as an opportunity. ATS was chosen as the turbo system provider for the new factory turbo option and Ford/Navistar implemented other engine upgrades to compliment the addition of the turbo. Trucks equipped with this engine option can be identified by the small “Turbo Diesel” emblem under the F250/350 front fender badges.
The additional engine changes are as follows:
Cylinder head gasket heavier ring and armor wrap
Increased wrist pin bore on connecting rods
Larger wrist pin
Anodized piston head
Keystone design top and intermediate piston rings
Increased number of oil passages in oil cooler (30 fin/inch vs. 24 on NA)
Turbo specific flywheel
Turbo specific vibration dampener
Turbo injector pump
Turbo injectors
Modified injector fuel return line routing
Modified E4OD dipstick
Modified E4OD turbo micro processor
Turbo specific cooling fan clutch
Lower restriction exhaust
Additionally, the truck received a slotted front bumper and an air dam below the radiator. These improvements conservatively raised the power output to 185hp and 360ft/lbs of torque. These numbers are believed to be under-inflated so as not to downplay the mid year introduction of the new diesel engine.

Does anyone have any specs on the fan clutch?
