to turbo the old girl. got a used 94 idi turbo engine for 800 bucks, complete from turbo to oilpan, fan to flywheel with downpipe.

gona try and get it installed this weekend. sorta like a little kid in a candy store, cant wait to get it on. never drove a turbo idi. have ran my 6.9s for 5 years now.

 

Sweet, does it have the factory down pipe though?

 

yea, still has factory downpipe for now. when the 300 bucks comes in that i can ghet the new pipe, i will.

 

Been looking for a turbo for mine, yet I havent found any cheap enough to go with. Good luck with it

By the way, Diesel Power mag. has a great article on turbo intstallation on their "project 6.9"

 

very nice

 

thats a banks setup. they are all sorta different. and since i got the entire engine, i could see how it all went on. shouldnt take long to get on the truck.

 

Damn, I kinda want to out a turbo on my 6.9, but I can't find a good one for cheap!

 

I found an ATS kit at the pick n pull last week, turbo was trashed so I took everything else. Gotta make an adapter to go from the ATS up pipe to my H1C now

 

well, got it on. will say, ALOT quieter now. exhaust tone went way down. lots of highpitched turbo whisted from around 1500 rpm and up. sorta annoying so far. . but power is alot better now. still havent turned up pump to match it. pyro hasnt gone above 1000 so far. so i got some room to play yet. need to but boost gauge on now also.

 

That was quick, you'll get another boost of power when you get the down pipe replaced.
