Ok, since brining Jacob into the shop, along with him came a really sweet 7.3L build that is going to rock the Powerstroke world! Take a lookie - Sitting in the shop waiting for the motor to go in - The Motor, mostly assembled, just waiting for the intakes and turbo - Motor with intakes installed. Had to pull the front cover back off to install the Passenger side intake.
Yes, 05 front end with projector style headlamps and we have a strobe kit here to install. Should be fun to watch it go down the track at night with the strobe kit! We are having some hang ups with Industrial Injection right now on the turbo kit, so hopefully we can get over that hump and start assembly here soon!
Just got the rest of the parts from Industrial. Had them coat the upipes, collector, and Turbo housing with the HPC coating. So, should be starting to work on getting the motor assembled today as time allows. Have to work on the paying projects first!:doah:
We got it fired up yesterday and got it to build oil pressure just fine. Only problem is we have a wiring issue to chase out. The left bank isn't firing at all. The whole bank is dead electronically. Kind irritating seeings how we just replaced ALL of the wiring harnesses. We'll play with it some more today . . . .
Yup, thats the inside of my little diesel heaven. Is kinda cramped right now - 98 12V in for fire rings and MaxSpool 2.5 Cam, 04 CR in for complete motor rebuild (I'll be posting more on that one later!), 03 6.0L for headgaskets and turbo, my 89 drag project, and this F250 project. Amazing how fast 3500sq feet of shop floor can start to look small!:doah: This is back when I first moved into this building - This was about 4 months ago. Update - Got it running properly last night. Jacobs main project today is to get the interior put back in and get the rest of the wiring tidied up for the show Sunday. Tomorrow is Test n Tune, so hopefully we will have some preliminary numbers before the race on sunday.
It Runs!! Well, took it to the races Sunday. We still have some tuning issues to work out, but hey, it ran, and ran well. 13.54 on fuel only, no spray, no water/meth. Made about 42lbs of boost. EGTs around 1200. Tells me we got room for more fuel!!! Now we have to start playing with the tuning some more.
