    New engine, No power

    Yes, that's the right place. I bought the turbo engine with a Centurion a few years back. Like you, I had been looking for a long time.

    New engine, No power

    OK, I got my MT480 fixed. It needed a capacitor and some wiring under the tach meter. I've set it at 5 degrees ATDC @ 2000 RPM, using the luminosity probe. The power has come up quite a bit. It still won't tow my small 5th wheel at highway speeds. I thought maybe the fuel pressure was dropping...

    Not enough. The timing marks ended up a dimes width toward the passenger side.

    OK, bumped the timing a dimes width, and it runs great. It's suprizing that so little adjustment can make a huge difference. Thanks guys!

    Thanks, I'll try retarding first. The fuel supply pump is the same.

    I like this method. I know exactly what you're talking about. Will attempt in the morning.

    EGT's seem a little higher. Normal driving on the old engine was around 600F, now it's 800F.

    New engine, No power

    I recently built a 7.3, factory turbo engine, and put it in my crew cab. It doesn't have any power, and I can't get it to boost past 8-9 psi. The old engine with the same turbo did 10-12psi, with the original compressor wheel. It has a Wicked Wheel 2, new injection pump/injectors, return line...

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    There wasn't a problem until I put the giant intercooler, and giant condenser in. I think they're blocking a lot of air flow. The problem doesn't appear until the low 90's. I think I'll try to pump grease into the clutch fan, like a read someone did here. That, or make some tabs to keep it...

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Is there a more efficient radiator that's not junk? I've seen a few mentioned here, but they seem hit or miss.

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Would it hurt anything to direct couple the fan to the pulley, removing the clutch entirely?

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    The truck was off when it was puking, but I think that was from the old cap. The new one actually holds pressure. I was checking the temp with the truck idling, but it was a few seconds after pulling off the road.

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    It feels pretty tight when it's hot. Would a slipping clutch fan matter at highway speed?

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Ok, I added a intercooler from a 99 7.3, and fitted a condenser from Crown Vic to the front of a 92 F350, Turbo-ed 7.3. It was 92 degrees today, and the temp gauge went past the L of the Normal range. It started puking coolant at a store we stopped at, and I added 1 gallon to make it full again...

    My arduino gauge project

    Sorry it's been a while. I got the permanent circuit built, and it seems to work. Still need to add two more data fields, one for pressure, and one for temp. Here is the board I made from Ifrythings drawing. The trans temp field is missing the powered portion because, as he said, the temp sensor...
