I have some desent hills around my place and I haul firewood a chord ata time and was thinking about supercharging my naturally aspirated 7.3 any info would be great.

 

supercharging or turbo? turbo is easier and free power for the motor. supercharger draws power from the engine to spin it.

I was talking to the guy I got it from and he says turbo too. But I have no money and can't afford a turbo and maniflds and pipes and an intercooler. So I thought a belt driven super would be cheaper and work.

 

not be cheaper. there are turbo kits that can be had for 400-800 bucks used. no need for new manifolds or an intercooler


just to give you an idea, before turboing mine, i was at 123 hp, 254 ft lbs. after turbo and adjusting fuel a little, i am now at 161 hp, 320 ft lbs. and thats at the rear wheels, same dyno and opperator each run.

 

with that said crawler, what kinda miles on it when you put it on just curious?

 

when i put my turbo on my 6.9 the motor had 205000 miles and had never been opened up. all original.

 

Could you post some links cause that could be in my price range and a full cord of firewood has a litttle bit of wait to it. Thanks alot

 

just gota look around on craigslist, ebay, or other forums. there is almost always one for sale on oilburners.net just make sure you get everything. parts for the kits are hard to get sometimes.

 

I do not want to buy used every time I do I feel like I got screwed and wind up dumping afortune into whatever i bought.
