Q. What kind of horsepower can I expect from an IDI 6.9 or 7.3 diesel?
Current IDI Horesepower and Torque Bests... 205.35HP / 461.59Torque
A. Contributed by Heath Sutton...
Editors note... These results are rear wheel SAE horsepower numbers achieved on a SuperFlow dynometer unit during the 2009 IDI Weekend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and represent a large cross section of truck models and styles. Some Powerstroke engines are listed for comparison. Most were modified.
Name - Horsepower - Torque in ft/lbs
Non turbo results
John Herbert 143.9 261.3
Marnin Gehman 137.4 257.1
Heath Sutton 123.2 218.7
Matthias Agne 108.8 229.1
Average Horsepower of a normally aspirated stock IDI.... 128.3
Average Torque of a normally aspirated stock IDI... 241.55
Turbo results
Heath Sutton- DPS inj 185.1 404.0
Heath Sutton MM's 178.7 387.9
Joe Perry 172.5 313.6
Suzi Agne 151.9 284.2
Steve Reitner 150.0 300.3
Chris Barber 148.7 278.8
Jared Witmer 136.0 304.1
Average Horsepower of a turbocharged lightly modded IDI...165.55
Average torque of a turbocharged lightly modded IDI...324.7
Powerstrokes
Gary Russell 302.8 557.2
Aric Hornsby 301.9 543.7
Bonnie Young 181.8 373.3
Average horsepower and torque for a Powerstroke...262HP/491.4
Additional turbo equipped dyno numbers that were achieved individually...

First pull, no LPG - HP 183.15 Torque 325.45
2nd and 3rd pull with LPG - HP 205.35 Torque 362.64, HP 205.51 Torque 361.55
Bests average turbo IDI by 39.8 HP and 37.94 Torque
So a 22.96 increase in HP and a 37.19 increase in Torque when using propane.

With a Moose Pump - 204.75HP and 461.59lb/ft torque
With a DPS Pump - 178.7HP and 387.9lb/ft
So a 26.05 increase in HP and a 73.69 increase in torque using a Moose Pump.

I found this list in the FAQ Sticky in my quest for Dyno Numbers. N/A, Modified N/A, Turbo, Turbo with lots of mods, and a fully built Turbo engine with an intercooler that is the MAX for a 6.9 IDI. I'm having some issues though, this is a great list of numbers...but how do I find out who the screen-names are for these guys? I was hoping to look into their signatures to get an idea of how built-up their engines are, or even PM them to find out. I'm trying to figure out the MOST HP and Torque I can push out of a 6.9 with a turbo, intercooler, Moose fuel system, and internal modifications to support all the external mods.
I got so involved in it the other night, I made a huge graph/chart showing the relationships between truck weight and horsepower versus other heavier trucks. With the power to weight ratios and the numbers down on paper, I was amazed to see that a 7k pound truck with 280 (roughly) would be about equal to a 5k pound truck with 200 horsepower Give or take a few numbers, but that's the rough math right there. I used the 200 HP figure since the Moose pump Sticky had Hesutton's dyno at 204 HP. I'm really excited to get my '65 F150 project going (got higher priorities on the list right now
) I was pleased to see the Nightmoose on that list, as it is my inspiration for a kickin' shortbed F150 IDI! Soo...can anyone try to match the real persons names with their screen-names so I can find out the extent of the modifications to compare the numbers. Thank you!
