Tube size ?

[93blklightning]

Got a question....
What size in diameter was the oem pressure tubing, and v-clamps for the 1995 PSD , with the TP38 ?

Pressure tubing? TP38?

Have you tried asking in the section that's relevant to the engine that's in your truck?

i take it you got those pig tales!

 

[IDIoit]

psd's have a few different pressure tubing.
oil, hydraulic, brake, exhaust.
the v-band clamp for the down pipe is a 2.5"

Sorry, the turbo pressure tubing

Sorry, the turbo pressure tubing

you gotta be more specific man!
as we have no clue what you're talking about, and your asking a PSD question in the IDI side of the house, your bound to get castrated lol
if you're looking to find out the size of the up pipes, from the exhaust manifolds to the turbo, they are 2"
if your looking for the sizes of the intake charge tubing on a CUSTOM inner cooler, you are SOL

Thanks bro, it was late when i posted that question, and i was tired, and not thinking to well haha.
But i appreciate it

Guess i was thinking more about me fabbing the turbo to the 7.3idi than what the turbo came off of

LET ME KNOW HOW THIS GOES. IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING THE SAME, BUT WITH THE gtp38

 

[93blklightning]

Will do,
From what I've seen, the TP38 and GTP38 are almost identical except for the wastegate.
There's a friend of mine who has already done a fab with a GTP38 to a 7.3idi

His name is Rocky Raetz, he's got some vids on YouTube

The only thing i seen Rocky did that is not necessary in my build is he cut down the pedestal, I've got plenty of clearance.

I bought a 1993 7.3 idi, to replace my tired 1990 7.3 idi with 7??,??? Miles

The 93 only has. 9?,??? Miles on her, got my ARP stud kit a few weeks ago..
It's coming slow,but sure

The gated one spools faster and builds more boost. The exhaust housing is smaller.
If it was the powerstroke pedestal he cut down, it was for good reason. You should eliminate the EBPV section.

The pedestal on mine is not as tall as his, so there's no need to trim it down

Why do you say i should eliminate the EBPV ?

And yeah, they spool a little faster due to the smaller exhaust housing, I'm eventually going to install a wicked wheel, ...all I'm looking for is 15-20 psi anyway

 

[93blklightning]

Another problem Rocky had was, he kept shearing his flex plate bolts, I'm running a ZF5, so that shouldn't be an issue

But his truck runs like a screaming demon..so I'm looking forward to mine

 

[79jasper]

Without it being on a powerstroke, you have no way to control the EBPV.
And they're known to leak.
I actually just ordered a 1.0 housing for mine. Hope to get it on before I leave for basic.
For the wheels, go with the WW2.
