    idi Turbo connecting rods needed.

    Thanks for the reply. Not for sure the block is good or bad, and shipping would be killer to SC from Wisconsin. Good luck with your build!

    idi Turbo connecting rods needed.

    Are you still looking for turbo rods? I have 1994 turbo motor I am tearing down. I would have the rods with pistons still attached once I get the thing torn down. No idea on mileage on the motor. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks. Todd

    Looking for turbo setup

    Yeah, I probably should have contacted Russ before I bought the used turbo motor and bought one of his kits.

    Looking for turbo setup

    Russ bought the remaining stock of OEM idi turbo parts when ATS stopped manufacture and support. I believe Russ' kits are made up of NOS ATS parts, some good used parts, and some reproduction parts, but I understand that it is a complete kit. Might still be worth it to contact him, as even if...

    Looking for turbo setup

    If you are looking for a complete OEM type turbo kit, contact Russ @typ4. I have no idea on the cost, but it will save you waiting on the next truck being parting out to come along. The kit will also be ready to install and run when you get it. I bought a turbo motor for the turbo kit, but the...

    Champion 3 core vs 4 core radiators.

    Mike, I really didn't notice any marked cooling difference between the 3 row and 4 row Champions in the short time I had the 4 rows in my truck. It was also winter and I never towed heavy with them. @catbird7 has a 4 row core in his truck I believe. I personally wouldn't buy another 4 row core...

    Rust issue, thoughts?

    Yup, the gasser core supports are different - the bottom "hoop" does not come down as far as the diesel core supports. There was a company offering a "repair kit" for the diesel core supports. Basically, they provided the parts for a new lower "hoop" to be welded in. As I recall, that repair kit...

    Rust issue, thoughts?

    Wow, you are in Washington and have rust like that? I thought it was just us "salt belt" guys that had stuff like that on our trucks. I believe there are aftermarket core supports just recently being offered for our trucks, but may only be available for OBS 92-97 trucks. I would be looking in...

    7.3 IDIT flexplate

    @bad67ford I purchased a complete turbo motor for the turbo kit, and it came with the E4OD flexplate still on it. I am adding the turbo to my N/A truck so the flexplate does me no good to keep as a spare. So, I would have the flexplate, spacers and bolts for sale if you are interested. I have no...

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    The Champion 4 row core radiator is not really any "thicker" than the 3 row core radiator. I believe the tanks on both are the same thickness. The 4 row core just brings the core right out to the outside edges of the tanks, whereas the 3 row core sits "inside" the edges of the tanks a bit. If...

    Project Saburai

    Glad that you (and your truck) made it home safely. That is one adventure you won't soon forget! I am still wondering though - did you make it to the airport in time to pick up the Mrs?

    adding 94 turbo to my truck

    Thanks for clearing that up Macrobb and Jasper! So, has anybody drilled out and re-tapped the N/A block for the 1/4" npt fitting with the engine still in the truck, or is it even necessary? Will the 1/8" npt fitting supply enough oil to the turbo using the OEM oil feed tube? If the 1/8" npt...

    adding 94 turbo to my truck

    Since I am also getting ready to install an OEM turbo kit on my N/A truck, I have an interest in this question. So, the N/A blocks were drilled and tapped for a 1/8" npt fitting to supply the oil pressure sender and the turbo blocks were drilled and tapped for 1/4" npt fitting for the oil feed...

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    Clb - thanks for the tags - that is some interesting reading right there.

    That is probably the next thing I will try.

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    Clb - thanks for confirming the air in the bowl. Is your pump also mounted in the engine bay?

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    I hooked the mechanical gauge to the filter head and got a rock steady 5 psi. Hooking the Autometer gauge back up, I get a fluttering needle at around 3 psi when it used to be a solid 7 psi. I think the gauge or the sending unit is wacked. My next thing to check is the gauge power lead and...

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    Dr. Charles - Yes, I believe the pump is still under warranty. More diagnosis is in order! I was starting to think I had a fuel line restriction since the pump bowl is only about 1/2 full when the pump is running. The Josh Bear - I believe the filter restriction warning light comes on briefly...

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    Last fall, I installed a Facet Duralift electric lift pump on the right side inner fender in the engine bay of my truck. It has worked great. At the time I installed it, I also installed an electric Autometer fuel pressure gauge in a dash pod. The gauge sender is remotely mounted to the right...

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    Got the turbo shipped off to Russ for the rebuild/60:1 compressor mod! Things are getting serious now. I need to get the rest of the parts cleaned/painted and ready for reinstall when the turbo comes back.

    PowerStop brand brake reviews?

    I recently installed the Powerstop high performance brake rotors and pads kit (all 4 wheels) on my Wife's 2008 Ford Edge. So far so good and they work great! The rotors are zinc coated too so that should delay the rust a little longer.

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    Popped the valve covers off today so I could start cleaning them up. The engine actually looks pretty darn clean - not what I expected. The injectors all had gray paint on them so I assume they were original. IP appears original as well. Maybe the truck was parked because the E4OD died.

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    Came home Friday and this was waiting for me. Man, I am glad I did not have to pay the shipping on this from Banks! Anyway, this intermediate pipe mates up to the Banks DP just fine, but who knows how this will all fit under the truck. We are certainly going to find out!

    Quick Increase in Blowby

    Maybe try an engine cleaning cycle with AutoRx? I think our trucks require 3 bottles of it. Run it with Rotella T (yeah, I know our engines drink Rotella but AutoRx suggests it because of its "detergency"). Maybe your rings are coked up, and the AutoRx may get in there to some degree and do some...
