Second start of my new '93 IDIT motor I just picked up for $350 from a local wrecking yard(they even pulled it for me!)
I never even turned it over, figuring that at worst, the turbo kit would more than cover what I paid for the whole thing.
Turns out... It's not half bad!
You can see some white smoke on revving; that's retarded timing. IP and injectors are worn, probably haven't been done in the last 100-200K, but the engine itself is pretty decent.
This is also the first engine I've had with a working glow plug system out of the truck. Usually, things need a full glow plug kit etc.
I also didn't know before making this video that everything was on the same circuit, and that you just needed the one wire to power everything you need for the motor. I figured it needed a separate line for the glow plug controller key-on, but apparently not.
Sorry for the potato video quality; my friend was videoing it for me and it doesn't seem to have focused right. Ah well, live and learn.
Now, I just need to figure out what to do with it:
1. I can install it as-is in my tan '88(with blown motor)
2. I can remove the turbo, install it in the tan '88, for use with the existing Banks/S360 kit.
3. I can install it as-is in my blue '88 non-turbo truck, and pull that (good shape) motor and use that under the Banks/S360 kit.
4. I could swap the entire thing as-is into my '93(currently factory turbo with '88 non-turbo motor), which would net me a similar setup, but one without nearly-blown head gaskets(I would then take that '88 motor and re-seal it, which has to happen sooner or later anyway).
5. I could sell it for $1K or so to someone else that needs a complete running setup, and build one of my other motors for the tan '88.
edit for future watchers:
This motor ended up lock stock and barrel in my red '93 after the motor that came in that truck's headgaskets finally gave up after being overheated the year prior. This motor runs pretty nicely, has a lifter tick, but just keeps on going.
