    wastegate adjusting direction

    Which direction is the wastegate rod adjusted, shorter or longer, to get more boost. I know, seems like an easy thing to find but I'm just not finding it. Just upgraded from the Ford stock turbo to an ATS turbo, yes, very little difference except the 3" output housing and a little different oil...

    4" exhaust?

    This weekend my brother took the truck which involved a trailer, Bronco, 3 engines, and a trans to load it down. The end result, 35mph up tiger mountain and about the same peaking Snoqualmie Pass. I figured the truck is hauling about ~7500# and runs the flats fine at 60-65 loaded and just the...

    BWD injectors?

    Yes, I know another injector thread, but just curious has anyone heard of or run these injector? They claim they are new injectors but also say code A for everything 83-92. This is what O'reilly's carries. http://www.bwdbrand.com/Welcome%20to%20%20BWD-About%20Us/Content.aspx

    CL and high prices

    I see lots of posts with trucks in the 2500+ range and they're good deals????? This is more normal around here, granted this might be a bit on the cleaner side. Being in SE Washington/NE Oregon it's desert and most of the time rust isn't a problem, but sun fade is...

    IDI to Powerstroke

    At this point it's one yes away from happening, the counter man made the deal but has to OK it with the boss. Some history: The truck is an 93 F-250, IDI, with an ATS aftermarket turbo. The original engine was dying and so another engine was sourced from the junkyard. That junkyard engine...

    Quick timing question

    Do the injection lines need to be loosened to rotate the pump? or is the movement not enough to put them into a bind? I finally got my hands on a timing set and found out I'm at 5 deg, so I'm thinking about line width is right. and it needs to rotate to the drivers side? correct.

    Timed at idle

    If a truck was timed at 800rpm, about what is the advance going to be at 2000? What are the affects going to be with that much advance?

    injector o-ring size

    Anybody happen to know the size off hand? I don't have an injector infront of me and looks like access to an injector tester fell in my lap. Just put new return lines on, but not sure how well the o-ring will survive when pulling the injectors. Would like an extra set incase I need them.

    Hood scoop?

    Anyone run a functioning hood scoop? My idea is to run something similar to the 70ish camaro (way forward on the hood) and build an air box under it so when the hood is closed it seals to the air box. The other idea is to just cut some holes in the rounded over hood (89) into a similar box. A...

    Heating, yep another.

    Just got the truck together and working bugs out. On the way home the truck got a little hotter than I liked, the "L" in "normal" on a stock Ford gauge. So last night I took it for another drive to see why it was getting hot. Driving thru town and the DQ drive thru, the temp came up and sat...

    Finally back together

    It's been way to long and I'd had forgotten how nice the truck drives. The truck went from a N/A-auto to factory turbo-5sp and definetly made a difference in power. A friend did the work changing this out, did a very nice job but with every major surgery a few thing pop up on the 20 mile drive...

    cracked everything?

    Had a friend tear down an 7.3 engine (92 with an ATS turbo) this weekend and found eight cracked pistons and two cracked heads, heads were cracked in different places on both heads. What would cause this much damage. Overheating?

    wiring diagram and question

    Is there a wiring diagram for an '89 manual trans truck. My sources can only come up with an auto diagram. Also a 93 diesel manual diagram too, but it's getting a cummins from a 5.8. For the 89 (F-350 with a 92 factory turbo) We are also a little confused on what wiring needs to be changed...

    core support

    Is there any difference in strength between a 93 and 97? A friend is doing a diesel conversion and trying to find if the rumor of Ford strengthing the later model supports is true.

    Trans Codes?

    Anybody know what 27 & 63 are? Just put a 93 turbo motor into an 89. The tach wasn't working at first (power issue) but the trans light wasn't working. Got the tach working and now the trans light is flashing with the above 2 codes. Thanks

    Swapping 89 to 93 turbo

    Well the engine fits fine, the question is wiring and that extra A/C sensor. Are all the plugs the same? And can just be extended and plugged in? Except for the two glow plug wires that are upgraded to a more direct power wire and can/need to be cut off. What is the extra sensor on the...

    Flex plate what is the difference?

    I'm changing engines in an '89, F350, crew cab, 4x4. on the way out: 7.3 N/A going in: '93 7.3 factory turbo engine that I believe came out of a F250, 2wd. Here is my problem: 89 flexplate: Doesn't look like 93 flexplate: What is the difference? Is one better than the other?

    FIPL qestion

    The truck is a 92 with ATS aftermarket turbo and AT The AT hasn't been locking the converter, just keep throwing codes. So a new FIPL was installed. This sounds great but and once install got the 1.1v but would only get to about 3.2v at WOT. After starting the truck and clearing the codes...

    ATS compressor housing?

    ATS claims: The ATS Ported Shroud Compressor Housing, designed to increase your turbo life by eliminating the damaging effect of compressor surge Is this worth the extra money (about $200) for upgrading when adding the 3" outlet and downpipe on a stock Ford turbo?

    engine swap, N/A for turbo

    Is there any difference in the two engines. I have a 89, 1 ton, crewcab, 4x4, with the E4OD and a 7.3 N/A. I've found a couple 93-94 turbo engines within reasonable driving distance and was woundering if there is anything special about swaping the two? Just a direct bolt in using all the same...
