Kc300x turbo install on my 7.3L powerstroke!!

[@mydolcegabbana1986]

Sweet truck! It also took me like 3 hours to change my turbo the first time. I can do it in like an hour now

[@HondaRider190]

it took me an hour to pull my turbo and install the new one. and then 3 days to get the rear clamp on lol

Great idea for the crank case breather. i agree i dont like that oil residue in my pipes or inncer cooler, not one bit. Have to say going to use the hell out of your idea with that except ill have a catch can for the waste oil drips vs the ground and or all over my engine or truck. But truly great idea

[@nick7.3]

@@MikeConner.akaRadio for sure, luckily my blow by must not be very much, I have this mod on my 2013 power stroke as well, neither truck drips oil

[@catchnstew5720]

Finished watching this video then bought a 300x for my 2001 7.3 I’m also having that blue smoke after putting a used turbo on the truck about 8 months ago! Was back and forth on a spoologic turbo or kc stage 1

[@nick7.3]

@@catchnstew5720 awesome! I wouldnt buy a “spoologic” anything sounds like cheap Chinese junk

[@LexiDiesels]

Do an oil catch can for the ccv mod instead of it dripping a little from the hose end. You can then connect the outlet from the catch can back to the intake boot where the ccv originally connects. No oil would go through I had mines connected the same way as yours but I couldn’t stand the smell and did a catch can

[@nick7.3]

@@LexiDiesels yes sir the smell is annoying af might do that or catch can and still vent under cab idk if catch can filters the smoke

[@jontroyer7975]

Just got a 2001 f250 7.3 and the nipple for the vacuum line to the wastegate broke off so it’s not active and I took that foil stuff off the hot side intercooler pipe so the factory turbo wines pretty good. If something goes wrong I’ll prolly rebuild the turbo with new orings and a s300 wheel.

[@nick7.3]

@@jontroyer7975 I thought of doing that but didnt want to do the work of rebuilding figured its faster to buy bolt in ready unit

[@jontroyer7975]

@@nick7.3 kc turbos aren’t bad because they’re way more budget friendly my perfect setup with my 7.3 zf6 would definitely be a t4 kit s369 with some big ish injectors but that’s not much of budget friendly.

@@jontroyer7975 yea like 3-3x the cost of this setup, would be sick tho

Another great video. Getting ready to do a KC turbo swap myself. Which stage turbo did you get? Which suspension lift do you have? Thx

[@nick7.3]

I have the that same turbo you have.I was told From KC Turbo you don’t have to hook up the vacuum line is that true I was talking about the red and green line

[@nick7.3]

@@bobodine9299 yea ive heard you dont have to, I always hook it up though because it only takes 15-20 seconds to do

[@andreassteinitz6639]

Super random but any chance anyone knows what the quick rev ups or rough bit immediately after you start it up is? Or what causes that? I have a condition with mine that it does that so aggressively randomly then it dies out.

[@Nubako463]

Nice

[@joshua12345j]

was that the stage 1 turbo. Did it make a noticeable difference

[@nick7.3]

@@joshua12345j yes its a stage 1 and honestly pretty big difference, has no more compressor surge, quite a bit more power, lot less smokey than stock turbo as well. It sounds rowdy too when your at 2200-2500 rpm it screams, good whistle too getting up to speed

[@ztheblacksmith]

Nice truck man, I am thinking about going with the stage 1 for my 7.3 zf6 as well it has a bd turbo in it now and I don’t really like it. Do you have an insta or something I can chat with you about how the turbo feels I don’t really want to spend $1200 and find out I don’t like it.
