    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    I am running an '94 Eco IDI w/o turbo. My first IDI broke down some year ago and I still have this motor sitting here. The engine had a problem with the oil pump and it ran dry. Crank shaft, some rods and pistons changed color. Problem here in Europe is the limited availability of spares for...

    Borg Warner turbo that will bolt into a Sidewinder kit

    I have a wastegated Banks Sidewinder that had shaft play so I tore it down. Was going to rebuild it myself, but finding a kit is a bear. I’ve read the wastegated sidewinders were all TE06H’s but the label on my turbo got ripped off before I acquired it. The motor is a stock 94 7.3 in a 93 F250...

    Secondary oil circuit for turbos?

    I'm working on getting twin turbos on my 89 7.3 idi. And I'm thinking instead of using the engine oil, I could make a secondary oil system just for the turbos. For that I would just need a oil pump capable of constant pumping, a oil reservoir, some oil lines, and a switch. The advantage would be...

    Twin Turbo setup 7.3idi

    I'm thinking about doing a twin turbo set up on my 7.3 idi. As of now I have true duals that run to the back of the cab and go up though the flatbed. They are attached to the headache rack and are capped with a rain cap. I have this old rusted out toolbox right next to were the two pipes turn...

    OM606 swap questions

    So it looks like the NA 606 has a mechanical injection pump. So if I had a car that came with a na 606 would a turbo 606 be a direct swap. I would convert the electronic 606 to a mechanical pump. Or would it be easier to get a car that already has a turbo 606 and convert it to mechanical. The...

    3 trucks to make one!

    Hey all. I have what is a question of experience or possibly legality. I purchased a 4x4 powerstroke just for the engine this summer. It's wrecked but he's a good title. Now, I just purchased two other f250s. One is a 4x4 1990 NA IDI with welding body and a factory dually conversion. This...

    Where to thread in pyrometer probe

    Hey all. I am looking at replacing my IP on my 94 F250. Guessing its original and its giving me issues hot starting (as in, truck cant start at all when hot). I was looking at CDD and R&D's slightly higher flow pumps as I am intending to put a banks turbo on it eventually. For that, I figured...

    89 7.3 banks sidewinder turbo kit upgrades?

    Got my 89 f350 custom cclb 7.3 a few months ago and have been wondering if there are any turbo wheel upgrades for my banks kit? Website and support say it's designed for high rpm, high stress engagement. It is the old school sidewinder kit with the big aluminum intake so nothing on the banks...

    Question for Wes, or whom ever, maybe of some general interest. Friend has new in wrap from FORD a db2-4821 for couple hundred. Is this a 8cyl x 4 x .21 plunger pump? Too much to use as just a core so would it flow significantly more than my current, no problems, db2831? Also have a spare...

    A friend of mine has a valve cover leaking bad on the passenger side under the turbo on a stock IDIT. he called me up to come over and help remove the turbo as he said it was stuck (not very well mechanically inclined). I would not make it to his place for several days so he tried to remove it...

    o-ring size between turbo and snail?

    Does anyone know a part number or size of the oil ring between the turbo and the snail? The turbo is an ATS Aurora 2000, which might be the same housing as the 093. I had oil residue around the turbo and snail, wrapped some silicone tape around all the connections to seal them up, and found...

    Altitude affecting Turbo IDIT causing smoke?

    I picked up a '94 IDIT last week. Bone stock. The altitude where I did my test drive was 157' asl. Could not make it smoke. Drove it home 870 miles with a big grin on my face. Averaged 15.7 mpg, which isn't too bad considering the bed was loaded and the speed was 80-82mph for most of the trip...
