94 7.3 idi turbo

[warner]

I bought a 94 7.3 idi with the factory turbo and it doesnt start boosting till about 1500 and around 1900 and then its boosting 6lbs and no black smoke i tried tuning up the pump and the set screw didnt want to turn clockwise but would turn counter clockwise just fine

pump???
so what do you guys and gals think

1500 is about the same as me. I dont see more than 5 psi unless I am pulling.

The stock ATS turbo used on the factory turbo motors was chocked down. Look at the downpipe, they flattened it out to make instalation of the engine easy. You can get the ATS upgrade for the turbo, spendy, but it will boost lower in the rpm's (I can get almost 4psi by 1500rpm's), and will help with power and EGT's

no smoke at all when i get on it and i mean no smoke at all and the pump is all the way up

The only thing smoke is good for is when you pull up to a red light and some jerk has his stereo cranked up playing cRAP music. Otherwise if your truck is smoking going down the road a cop is more than likely going to pull you over and issue a summons.

im talkin like when im pullin a big load it doesnt smoke at all, even when i put it to the floor

 

[dakotajeep]

Mine rarely smokes even when I put it to the floor.....not saying thats normal but its the same for me.....

I don't remember too well but I think to turn the fuel UP You turn the screw counterclockwise.

Oh and being a diesel it should smoke some specially if You turn up the IP.

 

[sootman73]

fuel up clockwise. he had it right.

not sure why it doesn't smoke though...

When was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

 

[warner]

changed oil and fuel filter four days ago thinking that the fuel filter was the problem

Mine is not turbo and wouldn't make any smoke either, even while pulling (I don't want smoke, but know some should be present) but then the throttle cable broke, replaced it and even though I had no complaints with power, I swear someone added two cylinders to mine...and it now makes smoke! I pulled about 6000 lbs up a long grade, did it all in 4th and by the top was floorboarded and rolling some coal, also pulls MUCH better.

I'm guessing my cable was never going past like 7/8 throttle.
