2,200 HP 7.3L Powerstroke Engine

[@scmroman]

My jaw dropped when he said they're still running a stock crank, at 2200 horsepower. 7.3s barely make a fraction of that stock, that's absolutely mind blowing how over built they were.

[@marinusdedreu3833]

They're forged crankshafts. As long as the motor is balanced well with a good damper it should be fine at any HP level

[@scmroman]

@@marinusdedreu3833 Not all levels of forging are the same though. Material composition, thickness of the part and its overall build quality play a big part in its ability to withstand so much horsepower and torque. It could have fallen apart at 1200 HP if it were a poorly made piece.

[@scmroman]

I guess poorly made isn't thr right way to say it. If it wasn't as well made it cluld have fallem apart at 1200 HP, but that would still be impressive considering 7.3s make like 180 HP stock

It's just unbelievable where they're taking these engine architectures - and even with the HEUI PowerStrokes, no one ever thought that fuel system could support 1000HP, yet you can buy parts out of a catalog that will get them there now! And, to think, all it took was enough people to just give enough of a damn to actually develop parts, instead of just pulling cheap Cummins out of junkyards(for better or for worse, the LS of the diesel world no doubt). Nice to see some are still interested in pushing the limits too; when you can predict where you're going to crack the block, you must be doing something right lol. I've gotten to watch the Double Overtime truck run a few times, that's one bad SOB

Well said. It never ceases to amaze us what engine builders are capable of.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

You definitely correct with everything you said, and yes the Cummins is definitely the LS of the diesel engines, you see them in pretty much everything. It's amazing how much power they making with the HEUI system nowadays, Jesse Warren making serious power with the 6.0,s.

@@reminoel483 7.3s are very well made engines. Especially the obs 7.3s because they came with forged rods. The only reason they struggled to make good power was because the heui system sucks. Is the 12v better? Yes. Is the 7.3 also well made? Absolutely. What a clown ass thing to say.

Dont get me wrong, this thing is cool but, what still makes it a 7.3L Powerstroke? Every single piece except the crank is custom. Turbo, Intake, Heads, Injectors, Block, Pistons, Rods... so if it is just in a Ford truck its a Powerstroke? I mean call it what it is, a loosely based on the 7.3 architecture full custom pulling truck. That feels better.

[@EngineBuilder]

Like many builds, it started with much more 7.3 Powerstroke parts and pieces than it currently has today. That transformation took many years. But it does still use 7.3 architecture, and the billet block coming soon will also be 7.3 architecture. We understand your point though.
