    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    Yes no kidding. The worst was when I did talk to one of the guys there about it he said there is no way possible the turbo bearings going out could get debris in the oil system to scratch up the bearings. Yea and 5he builds turbo? If you have something such as a bearing taking up space so there...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    I have also sent my omega moose pump back for a refresh since I bought it used. It's now back and the service and communication is professional like most of you know. I have purchased a clutch to hold this thing too. A South Bend 13 inch single with the wide facing. Got a custom disc made for it...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    There it is out again. The clutch slipped some on it. I had a regular luc single mass flywheel with a custom disc ceramic metallic pucks on flywheel side and organic on pressure plate side. Regular Luke pressure plate which I think is the weak point not enough clamp load. Only slipped it hard...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    So I drove it to the shop. Pulled the turbo next day both ex and comp wheels ate into the housings. At least it didn't explode. I checked oil pressure 28 idle 40 at 3000 with oil about 100 degrees. Oil flowed good from turbo supply line, I poured oil from a quart just into the return seemed to...

    Update! Been been busy with some family issues my grandmother who was very close to be passed away a couple weeks ago. But this Monday I did get excited to see a big box from the usps sitting at the door. It's my long awaited turbo. I got busy right away installing it. Since it was my turbo only...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    You may be right, but I won't know until I try it. The larger wheel will flow more I think it should help a lot. Now the housing is tight with the 9cm almost a 0.68 ar if I remember right, but the port work should help and the way these injection pumps put out a bunch of fuel down low maybe it...

    Heres some more turbo info if your interested. A stock he351cw this is the non VGT turbo. Is a 60mm inducer by 82mm compressor wheel. The exhaust side is 59mmx68mm. The smaller number is the outlet. Has an internal waste gate regulated by a traditional style waste gate with a electronic...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    The turbo will be the same one I had with a new exhaust turbine wheel and shaft, new bearings, and a new compressor wheel. The housings will be machined to work with the larger wheels on both sides. I had already enlarged the waste gate port and the transfer slot in the exhaust housing as well...

    here's my grill I had to use this to clear the intercooler. But I like it better I think. My eBay headlight they didn't fit very well by the way. There is my dad helping me get it running for the first time. I keep him busy since he retired lol. As you can see I have way too much junk in the...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    Here is my current update. Truck is undergoing some changes. The boost started degrading I cranked the waste gate shut and still no improvement. The he351cw turbo turned out to be sized wrong for this application. It started eating at the sides of the compressor cover after about 700 miles...

    Finnally running my 7.3idi with Omega Moose pump

    The fuel pump setup works but in hind sight I would do it differently. I just cut the filler neck out for the larger diesel nozzle, then dropped the tank put in a new in tank replacement unit as the stock one was shot. Its a dual tank truck. The return line is where it gets tricky. On 92 and...

    If I had a smart phone it would be so much easier to prove this. Oh by the way that oil leak is going to be a pain the oil pan to front and rear cover are leaking. dang it man may have to pull it to fix.

    Trying to understand idi air flow

    Im going to throw my 2 cents in on this. Im saying the in direct injection is the worst hindrance. From a performance standpoint. It wastes heat which is power, these motors are harder to cool than a powerstroke. Notice the radiator size difference. Where ever your heat is going there goes lost...

    Well after about 2 1/2 years of working on it here and there I got my 92 F350 crew cab long bed running. It isn't finished by no means but I have put 300 miles on it so far. Now I know descriptions without video and pictures is hard to prove. But they will come. Heres the run down on the build...

    Powerstroke turbo or factory

    I would stick to a stock turbo. It takes fuel to drive a turbo and make boost. The other solution would be a aftermarket s300 series turbo a smaller one of course. I would go that route before I would a stock power stroke turbo. Easier mounting more aftermarket support. If your gonna have to...

    Powerstroke turbo or factory

    The factory powerstroke turbo mount is not very user friendly to adapt to the idi. I don't know you may have already came up with the solution. But for comparison my 97 7.3 when it had stock tune and a stock turbo would do about 14 ish unloaded. I changed to a billet wheel and 1.0 housing 160cc...
