Greetings
I am new to the forum but have off and on been reading alot.
I transplanted a Turbo IDI from a '93 F250 with an Automatic transmission into my '93 F350 Dump truck
Put a gates downpipe on it and used some 3" exhaust tube to replace that horrible intake Ford put on it. using the Big round napa filter.
(IF anyone wants that stock ATS turbo intake box complete message me and pay for shipping and it is yours)
I installed some gauges and disconnected the wastegate
Truck has good power compared to the old NA 7.3 that came out of it.
Boost will hit 11 PSI accelerating hard or pulling load up a hill. (pulled 19,985 LBs up a pretty good grade with no real issues )
EGT has the sensor screwed into the Gates downpipe POST turbo
I am seeing 550 to 600 degrees when pulling hard. The engine will build coolant temp when pulling but doesn't get too hot.
There is NO smoke . Starts at the turn of the key above freezing. Takes a few cranks and second glow plug it when colder than that.
Using the red Shell ELC for diesels
Curious if anyone here knows what the EGT max is for POST turbo sensor installation and if I should give it just a little more fuel
Thanks
Tim
PS attached a photo of the load and also the fabri cobbled intake I finish welded the tubing and painted ford blue when complete
