1992 7.3 IDI 4x4 Build

[92IDI_ATS_DUDE]

ok well i bought a 1992 ford f250 4x4 for 1400$ it has 350k on it, the guy i bought it from didnt know anything about it besides it being a old mans farm truck 2 weeks prior, but what is known is that it has the ATS turbo on it and the miles.

so i have price out what im gona get and wanted to hear some feed back ok so im buying the DPS turbo calibrated injection pump cause i think mine is bad, and im putting there stage 1 injectors on

next im thinking about a new down pipe for better breathing, and ill run it out to a nice sleek miter stack


ok let me know what yall have to say

i heard the DPS injectors just **** fuel and dont really have a good spray pattern........

 

[92IDI_ATS_DUDE]

well i havent found any other after market stage 1 injectors and there not gonna be normal so maybe they will pay more attention to them

 

[johnboggs21]

you would be much better off to get some moose injectors

From what I've heard even "bb" codes are better than dps stage obesc

Ok, you're new here, but are you new to diesels, or to IDIs? Knowing this can help us help you. Mel (Agnem) can get you moose misters, and Russ (typ4) can get you matched BB codes. Stay away from the turbo G codes, they lower performance and economy (they were designed for emissions purposes).

But before you go to trying to build a monster or anything get some gauges.

 

[92IDI_ATS_DUDE]

ok so if i go with the "bb" codes then ill have to have them pop tested and shimmed, and DPS is 760$ turbo calibrated pump and stg 1 injectors out the door, im interested in moose a tad, but i cant find anything for sale

For info on moose products you need to PM Agnem on here

i had a 1992 d250 12v 4x4 430k 5 speed before and did a little work to it, im pretty familiar with the motor (7.3) and ive been all over it, i have replaced the starter all ready, and pulled the belt and air box and almost the injection pump ( damn star bolt ) and am pretty handy ( i used to work for Dynatrac ) so i hope that helps yall

Ok, how far were you wanting to take this, just tune up or go for some performance? Russ gate reground cams for these motors.

 

[92IDI_ATS_DUDE]

ummmm well ive got about a 700-1000$ a month to spend but its my daily driver as well, i want to keep it how it sits, bfg's 33's and stock height, but i wanna be cranking out the power! but its got 350k but im sure itll be fine, it shifts great and ran fine before the injection pump went out

 

[rjjp]

Auto or manual?

Read the Hall of Shame Forum above about who to stay away from when buying parts. Many members here have bought pumps and injectors from some Ebay crappy sellers. And when they had a problem they were told to pound sand.... Now Typ4 and Agnem will treat you with respect. They totally stand behind what they sell. I know them both personally and I always buy from them. I trust nobody else no matter what they are selling on ebay. I do buy from eby but... I wont buy injectors or injection pumps from ebay. Before reading anything on this forum a new person sgould be required to read the hall of shame first.... Just so they don't get taken and loose money. Asking here you will get some trusting information because many members have been around a long time. Some of us have been cheated before too. Thats why we have the shame forum. We post there what has happened and how it turned out..... Usually the findings are really bad.. No money returned... No call backs... Just... "You did something wrong when you installed it".... Yeah... Thats a real laugh for some of us that know how to do clean work....

Like Gary says, if you need injectors or an IP, Russ or Mel are the guys to talk to. I got Delphi BBs from Russ and a Moose Pump from Mel. (Soon they'll actually be installed. ) Good guys to do business with.
Russ's screen name is Typ4, Mel's is Agnem. PM them and get good quality products with customer service that is second to none.
