HOW TO GET 400-450RWHP FROM YOUR 7.3 POWERSTROKE!!

[@jamesryplewski2860]

If youre doing all the same mods, except for the regulated return/fuel bowl delete, you do not have to take the fuel bowl out to get to the HPOP. With an extension it is not very hard to get to the 2 bolts holding it in.

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

Hey the PHP is on-the-fly tuning. I accidentally put mine in high idle while driving going through the tunes. You dont have to key on/off between

[@SickSixFarms-lq7ot]

Great install video for the Hydra. Thank you.

[@jamesburge2712]

Should have covered the hole from the old ts chip selector with the Velcro… ran ribbon between panels… no more ugly holes… lol

[@TowMan127]

Just subscribed. I used to drive an 03 with a 7.3 that had the same tuner. Things was nice. I just purchased a 00 with a 7.3 and it has a different brand tuner. Thought about purchasing one of these to use instead.

So did a rabid beaver chew the hole in the dash panel for your "not looking like crap" contoller cable install? The rest of the install looks great. I think my 2000 PS is due for these upgrades.

[@screamindieselltd]

lol. That hole has got a lot of hate. I admit not my best work with a dremel. If you’re looking for parts or anything hit us up. We can help for sure. 👍

[@resurgence6169]

Oof, definitely going to have to rebuild before I get this far. My 7.3, although it has no blow-by, has 310k on the odometer. If I sneeze wrong, it may cost me thousands lol

[@DevinHorn-e5m]

I did all of this on my 94.5 5spd drw 350 still barely puffs black smoke but smoking the duallies is not a problem at all any ideas on traction bars or clamping the leafs together in front of the axle i believe? That efuel kit is much more difficult than i planned for

[@shaun710]

So I'm wanting to push my 7.3 to about 500hp the only issue is the truck has 350k+ miles on it. I'm slowly working my way thru the front end. Any advice on what area I should work on next

[@jamesryplewski2860]

You definitely need to rebuild the trans with a stage 2 or 3 rebuild kit. I shredded every component in mine with just a tuner and 30% over injectors.

[@DevinHorn-e5m]

The fuel tanks are chit get the full force efuel comes with 5/8ths pickup tube and supply line start there

There's 2 plugs behind the heads, you can remove and drain the diesel out from there

[@goodvives1038]

I have a question about the ECM, so would this affect the emision test??

[@screamindieselltd]

I would suggest against doing this when emissions testing is required. But that brings said if it’s good tuning and the a fuel is turned down it should be fine. A vehicle that old would probably just be a snap test.

[@jeremyhowell6389]

What size injectors did you use? I have 160/30’s now.

[@GtoJohn]

I have a 2000 f350 plow truck and planning on tuning, how hard is it to see the computer code needed before ordering tuner. I had a new 6.4 I bought new & I tuned it at 30,000kms i put a sparten tuner in it and absolutely loved it, i ran a 210 tow tune everyday so that was 210 + 350 so 560hp everyday, tried the 275 race tune once but the black smoke (Coals) was heavy & mto was nailing everyone, that tune was insane especially shifting i felt th dash rattle, had that truck with no major issues for 13yrs till the roof rotted out! Ran great when i sold it also. Replaced it with a new 7.3 Godzilla. But i got my old girl that I drive everyday but need backup for my jobs

[@screamindieselltd]

Not that hard. I think it’s printed on a sticker you can see from under the hood with a phone.

[@Mayberbtw]

How much does a build like this cost? at least part wise. I know labor costs can vary depending on location / shop.

[@screamindieselltd]

Parts were roughly 8-10,000 CAD.

[@Mayberbtw]

@@screamindieselltd dang, that’s a lot more then I thought. I’d love to do this to my 99 but man that’s expensive. Cool video tho. I enjoyed it

[@thesquirrel905]

That’s worth more than my whole truck 😂. Never thought injectors and tuner was that much.

[@Mayberbtw]

@@thesquirrel905 It's not just injectors and a tuner tho. They must've done more because a hydra tuner with jelibuilt tunes is the best and that's only around 700$ and stage 1 injectors are like 1200? no way just those 2 things come out to 10k with labor

[@thesquirrel905]

@@Mayberbtw yea that’s what I’m thinking. But not too sure how much 10k CAD to USD maybe $4k-$5k USA ? The parts might be cheaper here in USA due to import fees and taxes

[@timothyoleary4396]

Can you use a kc300x turbo on this type of build? I was thinking of putting a KC on my 7.3 but if I have to use a 38r I would be totally fine with that.

[@screamindieselltd]

I don’t see any problems with running the KC. It’s a 63/68 and it looks like the 38 is a 66 with stock exhaust. So the K.C. would probably more efficient.

[@timothyoleary4396]

Now you're talking stage 1 stage 2 or stage 3 KC turbo? Sorry for the questions just want to make sure

[@screamindieselltd]

@@timothyoleary4396 that’s a stage 1. Stage 2 is a 63/73 and go up from there.

9-12 depending on how things look and go in the truck. But this was a couple years ago so prices on parts may have changed.

I have a 2003 Ford Excursion with the 5.4 and was wanting to do a 7.3 swap do you think it's worth it

[@screamindieselltd]

Any swap is worth it if you want to do it. It would boil down to the condition of the vehicle as well.

[@kctj11]

How much is that whole upgrade including labor???…

[@screamindieselltd]

It was around 9-11,000 for everything.

[@MikeConner.akaRadio]

No smoke on the dyno?

[@screamindieselltd]

Don’t need smoke to make power with multiple injection cycles. 12 valve Cummins yup smoke is power but other engines it’s just unburnt fuel.

[@screamindieselltd]

Either way you have to purge the cylinders. Fuel will still get into them.

[@hammernnails7314]

Save yourself time and money and just get a PHP Hydrachip. 17 total downloadable tunes 15+2. Best chip available and exclusive for the 7.3L i run my 2000 F350 on the 140hp setting regularly. Mostly stock except for built transmission with shift kit, 4in turbo back straight pipe & open air filter 6637. CC SB 4x4 on 35in tires

[@screamindieselltd]

Do you really think you’re adding 140 hp to a bone stock fuel system on a 7.3. That engine came with 235hp at the CRANK and will not give you the same hp goal the customer was after. Hydras are a great tuner and I put one on this vehicle with jellibuilt tunes for a reason. Sounds like a nice rig you have. There’s not a lot of the 7.3s out there that i see so it’s good to see some people still taking care of them and building them. Have a good one 👍

[@Jabooty_Williams]

​@screamindieselltd you can definitely get 140 hp off of stock injectors. Stock injectors and turbo with a tune, CAI and 4 inch striaght pipe are usually good for 400 hp to crank if in good condition. Anything past that you are looking for an upgrade. 235+140=375. A +140 tune is definitely feasible on stock injectors and turbo with proper mods.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

Custome tunes must have if you have a tango tugger in tranny and other mods. I have tried all of them.

Wow… that thing’s rusty underneath… and pretty up top.

[@salimoneus]

Don't do this kind of crap, there's a reason the legendary 7.3 is known as one of the most reliable diesel engines ever built. This is exactly why you see so many of these with only 200k on them but the engine had to be "rebuilt" because some toolbag decided to drop in huge injectors, larger turbo, etc etc and then kaboom. Plus most of the kits are very amateurish with unreliable aftermarket parts, and when installed by armchair mechanics who don't know how to run a scanner, that's just a recipe for disaster. But hey if you wanna go faster for 50k or so miles before you toast the engine, by all means have at it.

[@screamindieselltd]

Couple of things. 1. This was not a kit 2. You find fass fuel, industrial injection and dieselsite to be unreliable aftermarket parts? I don’t think so. This build is totally reliable for this engine. The dyno was top power, realistically it will live its life at 350-375 hp. Well below the limits of this engine and how it’s built. 3. 80hp injectors are far from huge as well as the turbo. Also you don’t need a scanner to run these parts. All the parts are designed and chosen to work well with each other in the build so you don’t get high egts and the boost is only going as high as you fuel it.

[@Bigbriansc]

I have a 2000 excursion gas I'm wanting to convert it to deisel. I found a 2000 7.3, going to rebuild it, and the power level here is about exactly where I wanted to get it... reasonable to drive daily but enough power to tow whatever. I made my truck into a dually and put 22.5 alcoa semis on it. Diesel conversion is obviously going to be the big deal part, especially financially.
