'94IDITurbo7.3
HAMMER DOWN!
i bet my turbo could prove that statement wrong lol.
what ever lol
what ever lol
this is dissapointing since i was looking to move in this direction. do you think some water injection could have cleaned it up?
would there be a way to catch this before it becomes a problem? something like a drive pressure gage?
i am sure you have an oil pressure gauge at the turbo right?
Hate to say it, but I agree. And I've only driven stock ones.slap a tuner on that 6.0 and it wouldn't even hang around long enough for the IDI to inhale the 6.0l's smoke .
Hey all, Haven't been around much. Had a few spare moments so thought I'd check in and say "hi"
The 94 is back on the road after collecting dust for several months (no time, no interest in getting it back on the road)
After a new turbo, some larger oil return line adjustments, it turns out it was the Turbowerx Scavenge pump that had given up the ghost. Fortunately I had a spare pump on hand, so it was swapped out. Sometime soon I'll tear that bad pump down and see what the issue was. The motor is fine, it's just not sucking oil.
So the pickup is on the road, runs like a ***** ape. In fact, compared to my stock 6.0 I'm pretty confident "down low" in the RPM band, and MPH, the ole 7.3 IDI outdoes my 6.0. The 6.0 would eat it's lunch shortly after a stop light though and the 6.0 certainly has more "finesse" whereas the IDIT is more "raw brute" go.
Right now it's being driven by a friend of mine, whom I've loaned the pickup too, to get his mobile welding biz off the ground. In a few months I'll probably be getting it back, hopefully in equally as good of condition, and have to decide if I want to keep her, and let her collect more dust, or if she needs to go for sale.
Hope all the old OB crew is doing well!
i'm not talking about a chipped 6.0l vs. the Justin's IDI's. i'm talking, go get a bone stock 6.0l(what Jeff has) put a tuner with custom tunes on it and then line up against Jeff's IDI.....the 6.0l will WAX his IDI fo sho! Shoot probly just a FICM tune for his six would be all it needs to walk on his idi.
. that's what i'm here for LMAO. it's all good.I know. I was just messing with you and figured I'd point out the obvious...
