Hey Freight train let me know what you would be willing to give for it as right now I'm kinda stretched tight so if I can't reach the reserve I'll give ya a hollar and let you know that I'm done and what I went up to also if you were gonna make it up for the IDI rally I could run up and pick it up and bring it to ya at the rally if ya can't get up to get it earlier or if nothin else we might be able to relay it down to ya or at least real closeFreight_Train said:

BOOST!
500 back from the feds, and I owe 550 to the state. That's usually how things go around here. You think you have good news, until the bad news is just a little worse.

93turbo_animal & Freight_Train, I'm interested too. But, I ain't getting in no bidding war with yall.
What's the compression ratio on a 94 turbo engine?

How low should the comp ratio be to build a high output (say 300-400hp) turbo engine from an IDI?

actually,that ain't as bad as I thought.....go to Advanced auto parts and price a regular 7.3L IDI long block.CHAAA CHING!Over 4Gs....But not sure if that came as a drop in or just a long block like the one on Ebay.As for the HO IDI Ken is building me some low compression piston.Not sure if I wanna keep a can of thrown rod in a can and drop to 17-1 or have a slight glimmer of hope on starting with 18-1.Leaning toward the drug addict version so I can ram in some serious boost along with other "Additives".But if you want something you can drive on cool days I would stick with 18.5 or higher compression.Lower than that and you will need to have the Pope come and bless the truck for it to fire up in the winter(or mornings like we be getting up here in Gadsden this week).
