I drove my truck yesterday and fell into idi love lol missed this motor, today I'm going thru the glow plugs to fix that problem. If it's the controller I'll make a Manuel setup. I unbolted my muffler and tail pipe and bolted on a 7.3 powerstroke turbo down pipe, I think it looks cool, not...
So guess what guys she runs! I just fired her up after charging battery's I had to use the smallest squirt of starring fluid I could ( I suspect glow plugs) and not to worry I stood about three feet away and did a half second burst. Not trying to ruin hard work with the starting juice lol but...
Thanks you guys very much I'll keep this blower for the "future" haha! But I'll Probally turbo my idi if I every do decide I need more power. I'm the exact same way IDIoit , if some one tells me it can't be done it's only a matter of time before I do it, should have my middle name changed to...
So I went to the auto yard today, I needed a vacum pump and fender core support. I got those and found out what the what the square plug goes too. It looks like a vacuum sensor very small black box. I also visited a old friend and check out what he had. One of his trucks in the yard had a turbo...
Ya I figured out one is a headlight plug mainly becuase I found another on the other side lol felt pretty silly about that, heres another pic of the square plug and were it is attached, the single wire is red
Alright getting close just a few things left. But I need some help guys!??
First will the nitrile orings work? ( I had a dream they melted) lol
Second I have two connectors and a long single wire that I did not find a home for ?
What are they and were they go, besides these I'm about ready...
I see, I was checking out you build seemed like the sc was a hair small but still sweet application. I love taking on a challenge and just happen to have this MASSIVE supercharger at my disposal. What does no bypass mean??
Tonight's progress , tested injectors, new o rings . Will the nitrile ones work? If not what should I get??. Put the motor in and hood back on. Tomaro going to start hooking things up like exshuast wiring harness fuel lines , if I get far enuff I'll bleed the injectors and maybe start her up
So I'm a littel curious about supercharging 6.9 or 7.3s, has anyone done it ? What are the pros and cons, Iv seen alot of turbo setups but nothin really with supercharging. Would the power band be more level with a supercharger than a turbo? Thanks! ( the pic is mine)
So it looks like this weekend I'm going to try and get the engine in? Anyone have an do and and donts for installing, I change basic small block chevy engine before but not a 6.9, I will start Saturday night or Friday night and post pics if this slow Alaska wifi lets me!
We'll I did not get to the injectors today, but I did bolt on the alternator . Changing the pulleys was a bit harder than I thought lol also installed the bullet style glow plugs and temp fixed my power steering. After the injectors I'll be ready to put her in( the pic is before I started on...
