    TURBO COMPRESSOR HOUSING...OOPS

    Yes I did pull apart the housing and there was no damage to the wheel. Sounds great, I will let him know. now would be a good time to put on a wicked wheel as well.

    TURBO COMPRESSOR HOUSING...OOPS

    A friend of mine has a valve cover leaking bad on the passenger side under the turbo on a stock IDIT. he called me up to come over and help remove the turbo as he said it was stuck (not very well mechanically inclined). I would not make it to his place for several days so he tried to remove it...

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    Good info here. Makes more sense on why to add a fuel cooler. I don't think I could get away with a fuel cooler being up north (South Dakota) gets pretty cold in the winter months.

    Electric radiator fans on a idi?

    I thought about a radiator in the back. But having a usable box is nice. I might bite the bullet and install an FF Dynamics set up in it. Lifetime warranty on their fans. Kinda spendy though. Or just live with the 1/2 inch clearance between mechanical blade and Rad. Just hope I never...

    Electric radiator fans on a idi?

    I put a Move bumper on the front so I am not to worried about that. I might look for a non A/C radiator. They are quite a bit wider though. Also price out new and the wider ones are about $500-$100 more depends on where you look.

    Electric radiator fans on a idi?

    I had put an IDI into a 1975 crew cab. Th done part i did not research enough was the cooling system. Someone had informed n=me they did the same build and used a heavy duty radiator for a 75 ford that had a 460 engine. This gentleman claims it cooled just fine. Not in my case. Took for a...

    boost related ticking?

    The video sounds like an exhaust leak. Bit a ticking noise under boost and RPMs on the top end, could be a week valve spring? Boost holding open an intake valve slightly?

    Aftermarket air filter-- how best to route CDR gasses?

    You can get oil rated hose from a semi tractor repair shop. It is used for a return on power steering systems. Just ask for a chunk of power steering return hose. Fairly cheap as well.

    IP timing

    Crash-Harris that is a lame excuse. I run a business and if i sent something out with out instructions it would not look good at all. I do not have FB. I searched this forum and others on this cam and have never seen a 1 tooth off timing. Now i have to take it all apart and time it right...

    IP timing

    Thanks. Can't wait till all done. Been a long project pay as i go. Hate to add it all up, could have bought a brand new Ford by now. I emailed R&D hoping to get an answer on the gear timing.

    IP timing

    Yeh. Not to impressed checked timing several times, with deiiferent timing lights. Have timed anywhere from 8-10* and still no noticeable change in power or smoking. It has been a long project and still not on the road so I really didn't worry about it too much. Now that it is getting close...

    IP timing

    Actually i did some digging and purchased cam in 2012 after tax season. It runs with no clatter but it really roles black smoke and has low power, slow to spool turbo.

    IP timing

    So let me get this straight. I purchased an R&D cam, pump, and injectors. I have installed them in a fresh overhaul. No where is there any instruction sheets that come with the stage 1 cam. Do you offset the cam to crank? Or the pump to cam 1 gear tooth?

    Intercooler Dimensions

    I have a 75 f250 4door cab mounted on a 94 f250 idi factory turbo set up. I to was looking into an intercooler from crx raceing. I sent them a question on dimensions. They have not replied. They say overall is 31". Is this measurement including the air piping? Can you measure yours and tell me...

    head question

    Double checked the piston out and they are .030 up. I should have been more clear. We check VTP clearance with zero lash. So I suppose we should find a different set of heads.

    head question

    But don't you want to check clearance with a pumped up lifter or a solid lifter when checking VTP clearances. Just lick you would on a gas race engine? There is always a possibility you could have a lifter pump up correct?

    head question

    My friend is in the same shoes. He had his heads milled .007. Installed the heads and now the pistons hit the valves with the lifters fully pumped up. I went over and we pulled the front cover back off. The timing marks are lined up (he had the cam out). Pistons pop out .030. He used felpro...

    New Performance Cams for IDI, Not a Regrind. Interest??

    Typ4 I was leaning towards your way for a cam. Will send my core your way once I get my balancing paid for. Also would like to clay my pistons with old cam first. Turbo wheel also sounds like an excellent idea. Good luck on your engine build.

    New Performance Cams for IDI, Not a Regrind. Interest??

    There are now three cams available. The Typ4 cam is a lower rpm cam that was build originally for NA engine but seems to make really good power on even turbocharged trucks. I am curious what it would do in a high horsepower application. There is also the J2 cam, which is more of a higher rpm...

    New member. Questions.

    I took my heads in to a different shop. They said the groove is .008 deep. They said they can mill the heads. Then they will resecess the valves in further. At least the exh. Said the other shop probably didn't say anything because they can't grind precups.

    Groove in head at fire ring

    The heAds both measure 4.795. Exh valves are within spec 0.051-0.063. All closer to 0.052. Intakes measure from 0.052-0.059. One is at 0.057 and one at 0.059. Others are 0.052-0.054.

    Groove in head at fire ring

    Searched forum for answers with no luck. Got heads back from machine shop. New exh valves, guides, and valves and seats ground. Got them home and noticed a groove. The grove is where a head gasket fire ring failed. It's about .004 deep and about 1/2 inch long on 1 head and the other about .002...
