Crash. Don't worry next hammer trip not so many gas stops...

Got me an oilburner. 94 ford extended cab with the 7.3 IDI Turbo. Seems like a cheap simple rig to fix, some new exhaust and a few tweaks she'll be good to go.

may not be the fastest thing out there. But it'll tow and won't die :awesomework:

Is this the one you were telling me about or did you get a different one?

Pook · Sep 4, 2007

different one. This one was just 5 minutes from my house. Been reading up on it, stock it has 25 less horse than a powerstrock and 25 or so less torque. Ditching the restriced turbo housing and some new exhaust will get me a good chunk above a stock powerstroke, then a home fab intercooler using one of a new powerstroke or some turbo ricer IC will get me a bit more.

But as is she is much nicer than the old chevy gasser :cheer:

How is the cost of diesel up there compared to gasoline?

And niiiice pook--we can at least go close to the same distances now--granted I will still go farther :redneck:

Diesel is around the price of regular right now.

I just refilled my frotn tank today at 475km for $50 canadian (just over 55litres diesel was $.93 a litre). Not babying it just normal driving goin 120km on the highway an dstop light racign around town.

I'll let you convert that

i was doing some reading yesterday and i think you can tweak the fuel pump on those. from what i read they choked them out so's not to compete with the new PSD motors hp/ torque rating. good luck man.

I read something about tweaking the fuel pumps too.

can you post a link to where you read that?

I'm in no position $ to repipe till winter, but want to make sure I got all my info and basis covered so the project goes quick.

If you decide to do this, only turn it up a little, they have a tendency to get pretty toasty, and will melt down pretty dang quick! If you only turn it up a little, you'll be good:awesomework:

An Intercooler won't make more power for you. It will let you make more power at safer EGT temps but by itself it won't make more power. In fact, you might lose a little boost pressure from the turbo with the extra volume running it through an IC. First step if you plan on towing and especially if you want to turn it up is to get an EGT gauge so you don't melt down the motor.
