6.9 ATS wastegated turbo 0-60mph run, 55-85mph run

[@joer5057]

I love that even on a bullnose as clean as this, it STILL is missing the wiper knob, lol. Mine was missing when I bought it, and wouldn't you know that everyone I've come across in the junkyards is missing. Makes me chuckle.

[@FordGuy100]

+Joe R This is equipped with a multi functioning wiper knob lol

[@danielfouardlibertarianono8017]

Mine too lmaf

[@lucasmclellan8388]

I got one but the wipers don’t work lmao

[@CDX825]

Nice work man! I think your truck has the most turbo whistle out of any idi with a turbo I have seen. Sounds awesome!

[@nathan.mullin]

I subbed a long time ago hoping that you'd make more videos of this truck, and now I see you have :) 13mpg hauling 5,000lbs with no OD, now I wish our brand new 5.4 with OD could see that mileage.

[@jarodharrison5583]

How’s the 5.4 holding up

[@justinaltman5960]

Sounds and runs great. Turbo spools right up I'm impressed

[@SlentN1nja98]

*speed limit 20* "i'm gonna try to do a 0 to 60 in a minute" lol. but i love your truck and that 6.9 turbo.

[@FordGuy100]

Schools out!

[@chrysny413]

There's no reverse synchro.

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

Just earned yourself a subscriber, this truck sounds beautiful!

[@shootermcgavin2819]

bitchin truck! very clean. reverse gear doesn't have a synchro so when you press the clutch and immediately shift to reverse, your going to grind. if you press the clutch, wait a few seconds for the transmissions input shaft to spin to a stop, THEN shift into reverse, you won't grind cause nothing is moving at that time. fast idi dude. badass

[@rickresendiz1871]

Nice truck. Got an 87 6.9 f350 dually banks sidewinder. But its only for towing my future RV. I want a truck just like yours as my daily driver. nice nice truck... Keep it.

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Great vid! Love the IDI trucks!

[@VicsYard]

I like how half the stuff dont work but that ol girl runs like crazy!!!! Cant wait to turbo my 6.9L Nice Vid

[@93maximaguy]

sounds like an older PSD love it just wish i could drive a truck like yours

[@anomjames]

vice grips are fuckin priceless!!!!! nice ride

[@FordGuy100]

+anomjames Spent all that money on paint and rims, had to save money somewhere!

[@alecburril3433]

I'm impressed, didn't think the old 6.9 had that kind of scoot even with a turbo.

[@FordGuy100]

+Alec-Amy Burri It does ok for what it is. There is some new things out for the IDI that will allow them to make some very respectable power.

[@nate0031]

Love the truck. Whats the best and average fuel mileage you see going around 60? T19 and 3.55's? Thanks!

[@GSKYYT]

I pray this bullnose is still on the road and taken care of!

[@parkerparkerm]

nice 13 second 0-60 run bro. even built up IDIs are slow lol, but its gotta be nice to be able to rip a tank in half.

[@ryanames804]

Hey man, nice truck and nice pulls. What turbo kit did you put on it? Lookin at a stock 6.9idi right now for a tow rig and would rather not have to shell out the 3300 for the sidewinder kit if theres a cheaper way to get it together haha

[@RuzzP]

Your 0-60 is almost identical to my 6.2 N/A with 3:08 gears. Love the sound of an IDI at high rpms! How is the truck holding up today?

[@FordGuy100]

Yeah it makes a pretty sweet sound. I have the stock radio and I havent upgraded just because I can listen to her whistle away lol.

[@FordGuy100]

Ya like those vice grips? Thats how I roll lol. I have had those on there for like a year now, I really ought to go and spend the $5 and get one of those little knobs lol. And yes that usually works with my truck to. Sometimes it will just slide into reverse though.

[@FordGuy100]

@idlorah Yes it is the stock bottom end. Here in the next year it is going to get a cam upgrade, 120cc pump, and a S300 based turbo/intercooler. Shooting for 300hp/600 ft lbs at the wheels

[@jamesbuck3818]

NICE! Someday soon I'll get my 85 350 7.3 (swapped) running. Fuel / G.P. power issues

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

One of the fastest 6.9s on KZbin back in those days easy. I'm not sure my 6.9 could even do 80mph lol

[@270winshooter]

wow your on the powerstroke forum too! haha i have no clue what was up with my 86.. had a 88 7.3 swapped in and that thing would flat out move and sorry to say but waaay faster exceleration at those speeds than yours it had 6inch lift and 35s with 3.55 gears no turbo but had advanced timing with a ton of fuel! was nice till i had a run away...5k rpms! it sure made for a hell of a final race!

[@BIGTAZ351]

Sounds nice, looks good too. I had an old 79 F250 4x4 w/400 gasser, I wish it woulda had your close ratio T-19! Your third-fourth rpm drop isn't 50%!

[@ryanames804]

That 400 is a badass little motor. Had one in my 79 f150 with a c6 behind it.

[@GearHead1625]

I'm in love with your truck how much did that turbo kit cost? I have an 84 that I'm workin on that has sat since 1991 I can't wait to get it runnin

[@eldonbladeoperator2242]

Nice truck, thanx for sharing the video. I'm researching the 6.9, Never owning a diesel I stumbled on an '87 4x4 standard cab 3/4 ton w/6.9, 5 spd, Non turbo'd and I'd like to know if I can add a turbo? What else needs to be changed? This one owner truck has 119,000 miles on it. What kind of horse power gain could I expect considering the non turbo 6.9 produces 170 hp and 310fp torque. Back to your truck, very nice ride. Enjoyed the drive.

[@joeynzak69]

How much?

[@eldonbladeoperator2242]

$2,500. Original paint, needs paint, never been dented or dinged and zero rust.

[@brandonlowe3509]

Eldon Blade Operator thats cheap if its still for sale buy it

[@nickscustoms269]

[@alpinehs]

Awesome video.

[@benhillman11]

Did you get your tach fixed? I put a new cable in mine and it did the same thing, but was able to fix it by trimming about a quarter inch of the cable off. There was to much friction at the washer/clip for the plastic gear. If you take it out, feel if the plastic gear spins freely or if it seems to stick. Also, don't use a pair of wire cutters to cut the cable, I almost ruined mine that way. I used an air powered cutting wheel .

[@tpvalley]

best reposition the starter switch etc incase u crash - when/ if u do ur legs whip upwards and anything there impales them! Thats why all switches r big and rounded etc. Love the truck btw, what mpg u get?

[@andrewsybert9236]

I am not a Ford fan...but I must say IDI turbos sound so sweet that's when ford was ford in my opinion

[@inthewoods7092]

This video makes me miss my 86 idi turbo need to buy me another one

[@keenanwelch1924]

Hey, which ATS kit is this and when will it spoil under normal driving conditions? I have a ‘93 7.3 and I swear it doesn’t spoil until 23-2500 rpm and I really gotta be in it. Even then it only sees 4-5psi max

[@farfromperfect4643]

What gears are you running? and is that the t18 or t19 trans? I'd like to have a 6.9 or 7.3 idi but it ticks me off how some trucks get awesome mileage and others totally suck, with nearly the same specs :/

[@FordGuy100]

T19 with 3.54's. I average around 16-17mpg. Before the turbo, driving very conservatively I got 19.7mpg once.

[@jameswest673]

3.55s. OD trans. Properly timed pump. 20 mpgs easy

[@FordGuy100]

Yeah I know, IDI's dont boost to much. My truck has 22:1 compression ratio, with stock head gaskets and head bolts, I'm asking for a problem. I will be able to boost more with new head gaskets and head studs.

[@TheAnonymous1one]

Is the timing stock on it during this pull?

[@Marine5316]

How many pounds of boost you running cus I heard you could only run 4 pounds until you blow a head?

[@nickscustoms269]

generally when you turbo something you upgrade parts like the headgasket

[@FordGuy100]

+Marine5316 I put in head gaskets and head studs to protect me. With wastegate unplugged, I have pegged the 15psi boost gauge for several minutes while towing up grades. Who knows where it was, my guess was in the high teens.

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

the needle jumping is missing teeth on the plastic gear that gos into the transmission at the end of the cable

[@evananderson3350]

mine did same exact thing except mine was caused by gunk in speed cable wd 40 fixed it

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

+Evan Anderson wd 40 might fix it for a bit but in the long run it will make it worse next time use some carb cleaner to wash out the WD then spray some grafite spray in it it will dry out so it doesn't build gunk and eliminate friction in the cable housing

[@evananderson3350]

+VK70001.P thanks for the tip!!!

[@FordGuy100]

I put a new cable in, and while doing it the gear looked fine to me. I have tried to lubricate the cable but it doesn't seem to help.

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

its really hard to do and its not always going to work its always best to just replace it

[@Twitchtoo]

truck is sick, i want to get this 350 6.9 so bad but i need some money first

[@sniperotto]

Great truck!! and i love the noise it makes! low boost pressure tho, my small 2.5 litre runs at 16 psi.

[@legostar55]

You can't run high boost on these IDIs. Reason is because they were designed to be naturally aspirated so the compression ratio is 22:1 so you can't run much boost at all

[@heinz_beanz6339]

Yea but I would imagine people run thicker gaskets and deeper bowl ramps under the pre cap to get a lower compression ratio.

[@kipdaly7491]

I have an 86 6.9 f250 4 speed I want to use it as a everything truck, with the turbo can you cruise at 80mph without damaging the engine? because the truck right now will go about 65mph comfortably

[@FordGuy100]

I feel like I can cruise at that speed, but MPG would be horrible.

[@anonymousperson9057]

look up a gear vendor. a turbo will not increase your rpm you want more gears.

[@shwngrr2012]

Im not the only one with pliers on my windshield wiper switch!

[@drummerdude0314]

Good luck trying to find new senders. Ford does not make them I found some but it was a pain in the ass or super expensive to find new ones

[@FordGuy100]

Thanks. For some reason its pretty loud. I've heard others, and they arent as loud.

[@RustyCarnahan]

@moe346john Yeah, I realized that later, but was just too lazy to come back and correct myself ;-)

[@knucklechukka]

did your truck come with the dash in that great a shape if not where did you buy that one? i have an 85 with a 6.9 runs good same fuel gauge problem though

[@idallan]

where is this video shot...looks like a nice area

[@kenworthtruck1]

trucks a BOSS YO

[@edwinj1224]

Helpful video

[@jesustovar1942]

I have an 84 ford f250 6.9 manual I want to invest in a turbo how much did it cost ? And wat doin need ? Ats turbo?

[@FordGuy100]

+Jesus Tovar Search craigslist for a used kit. I bought mine for $900 some 7-8 years ago. The used kits have gone down in price since then.

[@DrMcelroy]

These old engines can make 300hp but youve gotta really spend the $ to get em built right. Btw, all the old 4 speeds and even the ZF-5's like to grind when you throw them directly into gear like that. Even the new 6 speeds shift into Low or Reverse alot smoother if you shift into second gear before hand.... In case you still have the vise grips on there, they make a 3" pair, they'd take up less space.

[@Sardalani7]

AWESOME truck, whats mods does it have?

[@Brian1996akatree]

nice truck man good vi

[@towrecker]

I like that you think you have bad synchronizers in reverse being their has never been a transmission made with a synchronized reverse ...

[@wadefade15]

The M5R2 & M5OD series has a synchronized reverse.

[@FordGuy100]

Wade to the rescue!

[@shure5758]

my zf5 has sycro 1st and reverse but i dont have granny gear. The granny geared transmissions normally didnt have syncro reverse or 1st gear

[@mikeg3529]

Chiming in here, the Worldclass T-5 has a synchro for reverse as well.

[@snek9353]

What shure said, and the diesel version of the ZF5 which is likely what he has isn't a granny version but a close ratio.

[@theshiner69er89]

How much boost can you run on it? And does it have top end work done? (Head studs)

[@FordGuy100]

It has head studs, I torqued them I think 5-10 ft lbs over ARP specs. I have the wastegate unplugged, and its seen 15+ psi quite a bit. My gauge only goes to 15psi so I don't know where its at exactly.

[@gangstacornholieo]

where is a good place to get performance parts from i have a 94 idi

[@dirteeter32]

this may sound stupid, but could you possibly give me the paint code off of your door tag i want to paint mine that color if you could that would be sweet thanks.

[@KLX1990]

try throwing it in first then sliding to reverse whenever you back up, somebody told me to do that with those t18/t19's to stop it from grinding and it worked. also the speedo hop might be because the gear is loose in the transfer case, thats what happened to mine and the clip that held it in broke on me, whenever i'd hit a nice sized bump the fucking thing would slide out and i'd lose my speedo lol.

[@jimmyhill9843]

That is true, youre switching from a synchronized gear(1st) to a non synchronized gear(reverse) which will stop the grinding. had to do the same thing with my old 70s Toyota lol

[@turtlemann14]

i don't think revers has synchronizers... your pyro donesn't shoot up, up don't have the fuel turned up very much?

[@cofeerocks]

do u have the zf-5 or did u change ur gears ? cause my truck would max out @ 110kms and i was siting @ 3000rpms

[@gavincarroll2553]

Is it studded

[@klaxogen4639]

Where in the hell do you put the boost gauge?!

[@RustyCarnahan]

Nice Light switch knob lol! :-)

[@spencerblocher4320]

hey there fg100. currently im thinking of the buildup of either the 6.9/7.3 idi or the cummins 12 valve. i realize indirect injection is inferior to the cummins in the power department. however the idi can make power. how much power could i make on a budget? the cummins is aklways more so i was wondering how far i could take the idi in power with the difference in cost. Thanks

[@Jv19979]

For 5k you can make a 7.3 idi have 400hp and 900 tq

[@GMC6523]

If DI has a nickname what Nick name should we give for IDI diesel

[@imnotahillbilly123]

Aldrick GMC Indirect Injection.

[@gamereviewsbyidiots]

What rpms do you run at 60-70 mph? i have a 90 na 7.3 in my 86 with a c6. and i run about 2700 rpms at 60 which would help more t19 or turbo?

[@FordGuy100]

60 MPH is about 2100 RPM's IIRC. 55 mph is right at 2000 RPM

[@parkerparkerm]

i wasnt being sarcastic with my post but i think ive heard of my brother talking about racin n drummin, doesnt he have one of the worlds fastest IDIs or something?

[@Scott.Jourdain]

Just sold me on a turbo idi

[@farmtoyfreak]

What size of down pipe and exhaust do you have?

[@FordGuy100]

3" downpipe which goes into 4" straight back. This ATS setup as the 3" slip in downpipe.

[@leonardwalker8700]

Can your tell me how you made it so that you can start your truck with the toggle switch and key.

[@FordGuy100]

Oh I just ran wires into the engine bay to the correct relays to do it. Its kinda a jerry rigged system and it will go back to a key start eventually.

[@joebourdeau3188]

make a vid soon?

[@loganbyrd7550]

I don't think the T19 was synchronized in reverse or 1st gear

[@fordbush7.3garage23]

T19 is synchronized in all gears, t18 is only synchronized in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th

[@AMCtilldeath]

John Forbush not in reverse for either trans. Always select a synchronized gear prior to selecting one that's not.

[@FordGuy100]

Haha. It might sound cool for a second until a valve hit a piston. The clutch exploded, ect... lol! That would be like 4500-5000 rpms! haha

[@idlorah]

Is it the stock bottom end? Please reply I need to know

[@slvrwrx25]

hey how high does your egts get? im kinda afraid to push my engine to above 900 but i think im trippin..

[@ryanames804]

No expert on 6.9s but egts should be alright til about 1000 if i remember correctly lol. Dealt with a couple of 7.3s and so.e duramaxs and thats what theyve put out consistently 🤷‍♂️💯 just my 2 cents dude 🤙

[@sluggo1515]

There are no synchros in reverse gear. 😉

[@snek9353]

Depends on the transmission, he said he's got a T19, they have a synchro reverse.

[@xxmarc92xx]

Guess you dont have any tax based on the engine displacement? at my place it would be 180$/month for a 6.9 Diesel :D

[@billhill7330]

What kind of commie country you live in? The US doesnt do that.

[@xxmarc92xx]

Hehe. Germany ;)

[@billhill7330]

xxmarc92xx Oh.

[@brunoignaciogi]

" commie country" germany has better roads than the usa, no pot holes, clear markings, higways engeniered to not have sharp curves. So for a "commie" country, they do very well, cause they use those damn taxes for the people needs

damn shoulda nailed the jakes at 85 haha

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

ok I may be able to help in the speedometer department get underneath the truck check the cable you replaced at the transmission there will be a pop cap shaped end on in if it is not flush with your transmission push it in farther and tighten the machine screw on the clip as the plastic gear inside is the issue not the cable is the gear is buggered up you may find one at a junk yard for next to nothing I have exact problem trust me

[@Ekennedy069]
