ok,this should be in a devoted thread.not everyone wanting to install a banks kit will be interested in what i do to a big old ugly work truck lol or even know to look there for the info.so here it is for hopefully much easier search and find:
in this episode of log truck...............it's the installation of the 2nd generation banks turbo sidewinder kit........................
what is the banks turbocharger kit?
Trailer Life magazine:
Banks Power | Banks Sidewinder Turbo
and see pages 6-9 of this one:
http://assets.bankspower.com.s3.amazonaws.com/test_reports/Sidewinder_FordChev/index.html
and lastly,the owners manual with install instructions of which i'll be displaying pics of as i go along for anyone who may find these real view install pics handy someday:
http://assets.bankspower.com/manuals/405/96310-v3-web.pdf
this is the install of a used banks sidewinder w/ wastegate.the same type of used turbo kit i installed close to 2 years ago on my f250.some of the parts are missing.they are currently being shipped from banks.rather than wait (it's decent weather right now.with just above freezing temps finally.so i don't want to wast it) i will be skipping some steps temporarily,but rest assured the few missed steps won't be forgotten.they will eventually be posted (though perhaps out of order towards the end of the instructions) before it's over.
Installation Instructions
1.Disconnect ground cables from both batteries.
Disconnect electrical connections from top of
injection pump.
&
2.Disconnect plastic air inlet duct from air cleaner
housing and remove air cleaner housing and
filter. Cover intake manifold opening to prevent any foreign
object from falling into the manifold.
3.Disconnect wire from oil pressure gauge sending
unit (located at the upper rear of engine),
and remove oil pressure sender unit and its connections
from the engine. On some models, the oil pressure
sender is mounted on the firewall (remove fittings,
hose and bracket, etc. if firewall mounted). Retain
sender for later installation. Install a 1⁄8” NPT brass pipe
plug in the hole at the rear of the engine where the
sender unit was removed. Use Teflon tape or sealant
on the threads.
additional note (7.3l) a 1/8 pipe plug was too small.i simply removed the factory long extension and used the bushing i had installed earlier for my auto meter gauge down into the block with the 1/8 npt plug screwed into this.the oem extension needs to be removed due to the heat shield you'll be installing latter.
4.Remove inspection cover plate from front of
engine forward of injection pump (on pre-1987
models, remove oil fill pipe from this location).
&
5.INJECTION PUMP ADJUSTMENT: To obtain
the maximum available performance from your
BANKS 6.9/7.3L Sidewinder diesel turbo system, and
to comply with emissions requirements, it is necessary
to make an adjustment to the fuel injection pump. The
pump adjustment increases the fuel delivery capacity
of the pump. These adjustments are made by turning
an internal screw, found within the pump. The pump
adjustment will provide a greater increase in rear
wheel horsepower, suitable for general use, work
trucks and towing. These adjustments are the ONLY
emissions legal settings.
• 49 states and California thru ’91: 90 ° or 1⁄4 turn clockwise.
• California only, ’92 and later models: 60° or 1⁄6 turn
clockwise
NOTE: Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) must NOT exceed
1050°F. If the EGT approaches this temperature under
heavy, uphill load, the fuel pump capacity adjustment
must be reduced.
Adjust injector pump delivery, as follows:
CAUTION: The engine must be cold before starting this
procedure.
NOTE: Do not allow any foreign material, including lint
from rags, to enter the injector pump during the adjustment
procedure. Lay removed parts on a clean newspaper
during the adjustment procedure.
A. Place a drip pan under the flywheel inspection cover
area at the rear of the engine, to catch spilled fuel.
Clean the small access cover area of the pump, located
on the left side, with diesel fuel or parts solvent.
B. Remove the cover plate, retained by two small
screws. Use care not to damage the rubber gasket; it will be reused during reassembly.
C. Rotate engine slowly by hand, in a clockwise direction,
using a breaker bar, short extension and suitable
socket on the harmonic balancer retaining bolt, to align
the injector drive pin, as viewed through the opening
for the oil fill pipe or inspection cover, in a straight up
(12 o’clock) position. Using a small mirror, check that
the Allen-head adjustment screw is visible within the
inspection hole on the pump. It may be necessary to
rotate the engine somewhat more to gain access to
the adjusting screw. See FIGURE 2.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the crankshaft using the starter.
Even though the fuel solenoid is de-energized, the
engine can still start. This is extremely hazardous and
can result in both severe personal injury and major
mechanical damage.
D. Using a 5⁄32” Allen wrench, rotate the screw clockwise,
by the amount indicated for year model.
NOTE: Keep track of your adjustments! The Allen
screw turns fairly tightly and is self locking. Turning the
screw clockwise increases fuel delivery capacity.
E. Replace access cover on pump. Again, exercise care
to prevent foreign material from entering pump.
additional note; in short: turn the ip up a flat lol.
6.Remove the engine lifting lugs from the rear
corners of the intake manifold. Replace bolts
with four 3⁄8 – 16 x 21⁄2” hex bolts and 3⁄8 split lock washers.
Do not re-install lifting lugs.
NOTE: On automatic transmission models with C-6
three speed transmission, disconnect transmission
modulator tube from clip on transmission and temporarily
bend tube away from bellhousing area.
7.Remove the crankcase anti-depression valve
(the round sheet metal can that is attached to
the rear of the intake manifold). Remove standpipe
and grommet from valley cover where valve was
attached (standpipe may come out attached to antidepression
valve). Retain anti-depression valve and
bolts for later installation.
NOTE: On ’87 and later models, remove short length of
hose and clamp from anti-depression valve.
8.On models where fuel injector return hose passes
from one side of the engine to the other
behind the intake manifold inlet, re-route the hose in
front as shown in Figure 3. This removes the hose
from high heat areas.
9.Locate oil pressure gauge sender wire (disconnected
in step 3). Carefully pull approximately
one foot of this free from the wire loom jacket.
(step 9 is skipped.i ran a devoted line to a auto meter gauge.the oem sender will be left dead ended in the loom on my truck.)
keep her right here on channel 444 as log truck gets some more turbo install action tomorrow before the big game!
