What you need to turbo an NA IDI

[@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?

[@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

[@stevenoe6395]

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

[@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

[@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]

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

[@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

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.

It basically vents the crankcase pressure and was supposed to act as kinda of an oil vapor stop which it did poorly I always had oil reissue in my intake. Over time they wear out and can stick.

[@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.

[@Ownlyfrogs]

@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

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

Did you put head studs on the N/A motor when you put the hyper max kit in?

[@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

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.

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.

You can get entire Banks turbo kit NEW online... Hypermax is a waste of money and the worst product you could buy!

[@groundtogreen1140]

william eldridge banks kits available are simply old stock kits and I'll never own one because if you have to rebuild it you're screwed they don't support their kits anymore hypermax isn't the worst but better than na. If I were to buy new I'd buy through R+D IDI performance his more modern kits blow both outta the water.

If you have standard transmission it's best to supercharge.

You are dead wrong on the ats turbo kit I own a all original 1989 f250 5 speed idi turbo from factory

[@groundtogreen1140]

aftermarket turbo maybe dealer add on but there was no FACTORY TURBO trucks until 1993. dealers used to add em on trucks frequently
