    A day on the dyno

    Not for the foreseeable future, I’m pretty tapped on funds as it was a push and a lot of work just to make this purchase happen, would be nice someday.

    E4od "searching"

    Its very unlikely that a torque converter would slip in first, the converter will be unlocked and significantly less load on it in first because of less mechanical leverage and less drag on the truck. If you manually put it in first gear does it do the same thing? Do you have any trans codes...

    6.9 vs 7.3 Head Gaskets and Boost

    If there is an interest in the modified gaskets it could certainly be something I could offer ready to go. If you look at a used 7.3 gasket there a number of places sealing coolant ports that have no special sealing parts just the regular gasket material, and as I mentioned above I ran that Q by...

    A day on the dyno

    Its very responsive, its making over 400 torque at 43 mph bogging it in 4th gear around 1200-1300 rpms.

    CDD 110 pump.

    You will pick up quite a bit from the other upgrades. Between the intercoolers and larger turbos you will gain quite a large amount of air density which equals power, and be able to use the power from the larger pump for much longer when pulling loads, not having to back out early because of...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    16 injection test stands from 5-20hp and ranging from 1950’s-1980’s year models. All American made. It’s just one load from the fuel shop I purchased, got a lot more to move still.

    6.9 vs 7.3 Head Gaskets and Boost

    I’m thinking of just chucking a small deep well socket in the lathe, cutting and sharpening it into a die to precisely cut the coolant ports, I talked to Justin about it and he said he’s run 7.3 gaskets on a 6.9 without issue.

    6.9 vs 7.3 Head Gaskets and Boost

    Note that the engine with the cut out inserts was the idit, and the latest na engine I left them alone like how they came on the 6.9s, wanted to try and keep coolant flow even between the cylinders, I actually saw better coolant temps with the na engine that had just the stock inserts, been...

    6.9 vs 7.3 Head Gaskets and Boost

    I dont have any IDIT head gaskets here, you can see all the turbo engine changes here: https://mid-atlanticema.org/wp-content/uploads/93-94-7.3-IDI-Turbocharged-Diesel-Engine.pdf Unfortunately, the turbo head gaskets dont seem to be in production anymore and are not nearly as readily as...

    6.9 vs 7.3 Head Gaskets and Boost

    Some of you who are following along project big blue will already know that we had an odd head gasket failure at around 25 psi. Hg failures above 15 psi on a 7.3 a fairly common, however this engine was recently studded and retorqued to 130 ft lbs at various temperatures to ensure the gaskets...

    Project Big Blue

    That was my purpose in checking piston protrusion, with how it failed when driving it couldn’t be rainwater causing a hydraulic lock but I wanted to be sure the coolant didn’t get into the cylinder and compress. With how the gasket blew out there wasn’t any compression happening in the cylinder...

    Right I saw that in the oil thread that pl typically means purolator but the part number doesn’t match any of their part numbers

    Project Big Blue

    Not really, I’ve got a few tech threads on here, Ive often thought about doing a monthly livestream on the shop Facebook page doing an all IDI Q&A while building pumps, once I have my fuel shop moved into my main shop later this month so all my work will be in house I’ll have more opportunities...

    Filters and stuff

    Reading that thread I don’t think that’s a purolator filter? Part number doesn’t match to them at least.
