    Making a down pipe?

    I'm needing a down pipe to fit the 3" outlet housing on the ATS turbo, I think its a slip fit. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this? The down pipe is no longer available from ATS. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Called ATS since it was discontinued and they don't have any old parts. Does anyone no if the downpipe from the stock ATS...

    buying an ats turbo

    Hey Reklund, glad to hear your pleased with the turbo/IC, I haven't installed my turbo yet but have been thinking about an IC. I was thinking about trying to do something on the cheap like a 7.3 PS IC, but perhaps that we be more bother than its worth (ie finding one, figuring out the...

    Rebuilding an e4od

    David thanks for the response, I think I will go for the steel gears as a kit from your suggestion, I'm tired of looking on e-bay for various parts and wouldn't mind spending a little more getting them in one place. the only thing from the '79 being used is the body, essentially the truck will...

    Rebuilding an e4od

    Oh Yeah, I have also bought a new ATS aurora turbo package. Will likely try to work out a psd IC soon too. Do you know anything about the moose pump/injectors I have seen reference too. Are they significant power upgrades, are they very costly.

    Rebuilding an e4od

    David thanks for the reply, I believe you gave me some good input a while back on the tranny rebuild. I'm glad to hear you say that about the clutches. The cost of this diesel conversion is getting pretty high (putting a '79 f150 body on 1989 f250 chassis). There was also something about...

    Rebuilding an e4od

    Assuming I'm not going to be doing a lot of heavy towing(most usually 4-5000lbs), how important is it to go the extra money for the red eagle clutches/kolene steels. Also, does anyone have any input on the transgo tugger kit vs their regular shift kit? thanks for any input.

    F150/250 conversion, cost of 250 donor?

    What would be a good deal on a 1990 F250 xlt lariat 112K, somewhat rough body, but in decent shape? I was presented with this option by my mechanic to buy this vehicle to transplant my 1979 f150 body onto. We were in the middle figuring out the install of a 7.3idi into the '79 f150. I think...

    Scrap yard IC, is it a possibility?

    Just wondering what people thought about finding a IC from my local scrap yard to apply to my new ATS turbo kit. Is this a possibility. ATS said they don't sell one anymore and I don't think I'd want to put the much $ into one anyway. Hypermax sells one for their kit. Adapting the piping...

    Just received new ATS turbo kit, but...

    here's the pics Hey reklund thanks for the reply. This is obviously not the entire kit, I've received 2 of 3 boxes, but was concerned this isn't their latest version turbo. Does your have 'aurora 2000' cated on the side as this is what the catalog and web site show.

    Just received new ATS turbo kit, but...

    Just wondering if anyone else has recently bought an ATS turbo kit? What I received looks nothing like the turbo kit in their new product catalog or online for the 7.3idi kit. The new kit is supposed to have an Aurora 2000 turbo. I received one that does not say this on the side and is painted...

    turbo fitment question

    Just wondering if anyone had any input or suggestions on the three available aftermarket tubos (ie ATS, Hypermax, or banks) for my particular application. I'm doing a diesel conversion (7.3idi) of a 1979 F150 and was wondering considering the likely tight fit of the motor, was there any reason...

    7.3L with a C6, durability question

    Thanks once again for all the input. I finally talked to my mechanic and he is in agreeance with the E40D build up so now I think I'll go ahead and get those manuals to further educate myself so I'm able to understand what the mechanic will be talking about parts wise. The mechanic mentioned he...

    7.3L with a C6, durability question

    thanks a lot for the replies. Does the C6 with an add-on overdrive come close to the E4OD fuel economy? What would a E4OD build up require you to upgrade in the transmission, what would descent quality parts cost?
