What you need to turbo an NA IDI

Brief overview of what you need to turbo your idi

[@ReedParkinson1974]

If you did not know. The 7.3 IDIT internals are different from the 7.3 IDI. The block is thicker. The pistons are stronger with larger wrist pins and the rods are stouter on the IDIT. The rings on the IDIT are Full Keystone #1 and #2 vs rectangular #1 and taper faced #2 on the IDI The injectors are different. The oil cooler is bigger. The oil pump is bigger

[@groundtogreen1140]

I've torn down probably 30 of these some of what you say is right. Block is nearly identical with a couple minor differences , pistons were aluminum just like the na ones and were not ceramic coated, the rods were forged just the same as na but yes they did have larger wrist pins, the injectors were supposed to be improved but outta the performance companies I've spoke with hypermax and r+d the difference is negligible. The oil pump was the same but yes the oil cooler had additional cooling fins on the idit. The injection pump was rated at a higher cc thou

[@100nortonfan]

Well done, Mike. Thanks for the tour. I always wanted to know what the turbo upgrade consists of and you have done a splendid job of describing it. Cheers!

[@groundtogreen1140]

I made a small mistake in the video. The fsctory turbo adapter for the turbo feed is actually tapped for 1/8 npt but if that adapter is unbolted there's a 1/4 npt hole underneath it you can also use

[@dillonhaynes8109]

Mike Grn I’m pulling a ats kit off a factory turbo parts truck and I had a few questions. You just have to disconnect the down pipe, crossover pipe, and then the intake hat and it should just lift out the top right? Besides the drain and stuff

[@dillonhaynes8109]

Mike Grn possible to pull with the slip joint still attached?

[@stevenoe6395]

You can still buy the banks it's 3,500 I think something like that. Good video!!!!!!!!!

[@callmeappa]

Thanks for the video it's really helpful to see what all the forum are talking about. ps this is the guy that asked the question on Facebook.

[@sexyworm1000]

Got me a junkyard turbo kit today fuck yea

[@MichaelIng123]

Thanks for the video Mike I had to remove my turbo and put holes in the valley pan. I wouldn't have known that without your video. My question is about oil restriction in the turbo feed line. My truck never had low pressure before installing the kit on my idi. I need to use a mechanical guage to check pressure or block turbo oil feed line to see if my sending unit is bad or what's going on.

[@groundtogreen1140]

also make sure you have a mechanical oil psi gauge the oem dash one is a guess at best

[@jesseheins4285]

can you explain the turbo drain a bit better, little confused on that, did you run it into the cdr hole?

[@groundtogreen1140]

yes it goes into the old cdr Hole

[@sibirty]

My 93 7.3 really needs a turbo for those grades while towing my camper

[@loganeley2342]

Mike just got an 1990 idi with ats turbo. looks like a factory unit added after the fact. Where do i punch my holes for oil drain, and more importantly where do i find seals for the turbo like valley pan grommet seal, the oil drain seal on the turbo, the feed line seals and the seals that go into the intake snail.

[@groundtogreen1140]

Logan Eley holes go directly in drain tube hole punch dont drill to.avoid metal shavings. As for the seal kit I have a friend who sells that mention that I sent you. Type4 off oil burners or if you have a facebook his name is listed michelle n russell mathis

[@nohtgonahappen7314]

So ford use a ats turbo of the 93 94 factory turbo engines?

[@brianpopelka3165]

Wouldnt it just be cheaper to buy a wrecked turbo idi truck and just swap the motor & Trans into your nice truck?

[@groundtogreen1140]

Depends on the area. They getting harder to find

[@joeyharris8268]

I have a 1994 turbo... Looking at doing bypass oil filter... Looks like drivers side of block has at least a feed , can you show feeds and possible drains?

[@coburnlowman]

I just read every comment so I would not be redundent. Anyway since no one has asked this particular question. How much power gain do these turbos add ??? Do they get into Power stroke territory? Or do they just add a little extra?

[@benjamins9121]

264hp 503tq is what Banks says there idi kit will do at the flywheel. Without studs 12psi is as much as you want to run and that will do about 190hp at the wheels.

[@austinbrown8996]

How many miles is to many to turbo mine has a little over 250k it’s a 7.3 idi 5 speed

[@groundtogreen1140]

service intervals for these is technically around 200k so you could but your gambling on 20-30yr old gaskets unless prior work has been done. Lots of people have turboed past that point without issue but others have very quickly popped a headgasket after. Of course that could also be due to the driver lol. I think hypermax recommended at minimum a retorque check of the head bolts upon a fresh installation on an older engine.

[@gagemartin5519]

With moving the glow plug relay can u take the head cover from a 94 an replace the 91 n/a motor to relocate

[@juliotapia2538]

I have a 1986 6.9 with the ats turbo My glow plug light ints not coming on but the controller makes clicking noises any suggestions thanks

[@VinnyMartello]

I really wanna turbo my 91 F350. It has a hard time going 55mph up a steep hill haha.

[@THUGLIFEhks]

What’s the point of relocating the glow plug controller? What if I add a turbo into the 89 with the basic flex plate and flywheel?

[@groundtogreen1140]

Factory location could interfere with turbo installation and to get it away from the heat produced by the turbo and the flexplate only matters with factory turbo blocks

[@justlivinginarv6029]

if I'm not mistaken the turbo motors have lower compression cylinders then the none turbo, so if you put a turbo on a none turbo engine you need to adjust your turbo waste valve or pay the price of blown head gaskets or cracked heads just FYI i learn the hard way

[@groundtogreen1140]

if there was a difference in compression it's very minimal. Many people have safely turboed naturally aspirated Motors without any issues of cracking heads or head gasket failure especially running off a stock naturally aspirated injection pump. my current motor has a non wastegated hypermax kit stock fuel settings I've ran her hours and hours of driving never had an issue. another guy I know is running a 6.9 with the factory turbo kit with no issues in over a year and the 6.9 has smaller head bolts so it's actually more prone to blow a head gasket than the 7.3

[@GoldStarBakery88]

you put turbo on a good good ole 7.3 N/A idi and didnt bother with even a 5 min google check? i can tell you off hand the idi 7.3 N/A has about 21 to 1 and the turbo version has 17 to 1... its quite a bit more than "minimal"...also engine parts differ between the two..

[@groundtogreen1140]

Have We Learned Nothing I dont know how I missed this comment the compression ratios were the same between idit and na engines however idit engines did have forged rods and larger wrist pins and a different rotating assembly balance.

[@whiskeyleaks4421]

@Adirondack Homestead he learned somthing!

[@robertowen2021]

The powerstroke has a lower compression ratio, people confuse the powerstroke with a 7.3 idit, they are totally different. The only thing they share is displacement. The powerstroke is a direct injection engine, the idit is still indirect injection and needs the high compression ratio in order to start easily

[@steveniselt9013]

I’m doin a left hand turbo mount on my 6.9 idi. As the turbo won’t fit in the valley with the vehicle I have it in. Where can I run my oil drain pipe to? Or can I still run into the old CDR hole like turbo idi’s, or will this create to much pressure on the return side?

[@groundtogreen1140]

You can use the hole where the cdr was but you'll want a cc vent somewhere to avoid building pressures. Most choose the inspection cover hole in front of the pump timing cover

[@veterantraveller-dq4re]

What size turbo is on your n/A turbo conversion. I know it's been a few years

[@jeffreylord4965]

so Mike Grn i am in the process of putting a N/A motor in my truck. The motor that was in there before was a turbo motor. i wanna put that turbo on it. the fourm im on, on facebook, people tell me you have to punch holes in the pan below where the oil feed back. is that true?

[@scottviers3794]

Enjoy your videos, Why do you need the flywheel and flexplate to install the turbo? Have a 93 idi with 5 speed manual, but am looking at a 93,1/2 7.3 engine with the factory turbo, thought I could add just the turbo parts. Thanks again, Scott Viers.

[@groundtogreen1140]

yes you can just add the turbo parts to your non turbo engine and be good to go. all I was clarifying is you cannot just switch the flywheel/flexplate between the factory turbo and NA because the balance is completely different

[@scottviers3794]

Thanks for the reply. Am going tomorrow to look at the pulled engine. Will try to swing the whole engine.Thanks again!

[@groundtogreen1140]

if you can I would try to get the whole engine numerous upgrades were made such as the oil cooler, thicker wrist pins, anodized pistons its all around a better engine

[@scottviers3794]

Thanks so much!

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

What did you set the timing at on the n/a when you added turbo I just got the techtime 3300-s to do timing anytime I need

[@chaosmagusgod]

hi Mike, thanks for the video.. I just bought an 1988 f250 7.3l diesel .. my only question after watching this video is.. is it worth it.. I mean, by factory specs there was only 5 hp gain between the non turbo and the 7.3 turbo model. it shows that it literally went from 180 to 185 by adding the turbo..ok maybe a modern turbo may have better results but like I asked. do you feel it's worth all the work/money? thanks again for the video and your time.

[@colbyfisher4693]

U gain 50 ft lbs

[@jellyfrosh9102]

@Babylon falling If you're not a dumbass and keep your EGTs under 1000, and stud the heads, adding a turbo isn't going to shorten engine life.

[@jellyfrosh9102]

the factory 7.3 IDI turbos were intentionally under-tuned and under-rated to make the 7.3L Powerstroke look better. If you dyno a 7.3 IDI turbo it's actually more powerful than on paper.

[@jellyfrosh9102]

@Babylon falling If you're spending the 3k on a turbo kit and not spending the extra few hundred to get studs that's on you.

[@AbcXyz-rn2lz]

@@jellyfrosh9102 most people don't do the studs, and end up joining the IDI yard ornament army. I was told by IDI Performance that none of the common turbos put out enough pressure to need bigger cc on pump, too.. The hotside kit from IDI performance and a ebay turbo is easier than finding one in a scrap yard, and is only like 48% more the cost. If you're non conformist you can also cam and pump tune instead of turbo

[@TheBmco99]

That plastic oil pressure line you have set up there could be very dangerous under a hard pull that thing breaks or gets hot and melts you will have a fire should use copper

[@tomlord5652]

How much boost should I set my turbo for on my 6,9 IDI so I don't blow the heads or the engine?!

[@groundtogreen1140]

I've heard various numbers but alot say don't exceed 15lbs of boost others say it should be studded. Some say just leave it stock if wategated. I personally have not turboed a 6.9 but I do know the non waste gated kits such as the hypermax and gen 1 banks, gen 1 ats, ran fine on those engines for years.

[@s2kinky577]

Would I need to adjust my fuel if I’m converting to turbo?

[@groundtogreen1140]

typically you would want to turn it up depending on the pump your running and the boost numbers you want. Every kit performs differently and some are not as efficient as others. For ex I maxed out my ip for the hypermax kit and couldn't get much above 10lbs yet with my factory kit I haven't touched my fuel and I can hit 7 at stock calibration. You definitely will want to retime it as well so have it run as efficient as possible.

[@1danny2k]

Without touching the fueling what differences did you notice in hp torque milage and engine temperature

[@imchris5000]

did you end up adding heat shielding in the area around the turbo the wire loom looked like it was getting crispy

[@groundtogreen1140]

[@lucasdonoho6319]

Do you need to pull the motor to access everything to install a turbo kit?

[@groundtogreen1140]

No every single turbo kit I've had can be pulled without removing any major items

[@linkedmoo_man]

Honestly I just can't justify putting the money into putting a turbo kit on an idi, unless you can snag one off another idi. Otherwise you're just better off spending the money on buying an OBS Powerstroke. Engine mounts and transmission bolt pattern are the exact same, so it's literally a drop in swap and you get WAY more out of it.

[@groundtogreen1140]

not really once you factor in all the wiring and modules. and if left stock it's not much of a power difference vs an idit. Most of us who upgrade these know it won't be the biggest baddest truck on yhe block but it doesn't have to be either

[@user-bx3zz9cx3y]

I know this is an older thread, but I want to know if there is an easy or inexpensive way to remove the turbo from my 7.3 IDI. I have a 1992 F350 with a ATS turbo kit that was installed by the previous owner. The turbo is shot and this is the second one in 10 thousand miles. I don’t do a great deal of heavy towing, so the turbo is not necessary for me. The truck is in excellent shape. I just want to return the engine to its stock form. I don’t have the money for a new turbo and don’t want to put in another one if it is going to fail. Any help would be appreciated.

[@groundtogreen1140]

weird question you arent located in michigan by chance?

[@stevenoe6395]

Sounds like you have something else wrong if you have killed 2 turbos in 10k those things should last 100 200k easy. You may have a clogged oil line or something but you could get a factory exhaust manifolds to put on it then a factory air cleaner,factory exhaust peaces turn your injection pump down cap the oil lines for the turbo were they come out of the engine won't be cheap if your any good at fabrication you could make a peace of pipe for the hot side of the turbo to take it's place personally I would figure out why it's eating turbos good luck

there's a feed line and drain line for the turbo charger. I'm not as familiar with banks but on most they have a square cut o ring in the feed line that likes to leak over time.
