Why do I hear all the people putting Turbos on the idi's? If its not designed for it, dont put it on it, the 6.9 and 7.3 wasn't designed for a turbo, the compression was to high, block not strong enough, not enough fuel pressure. If you guys want to put turbos on diesels id say go get a powerstroke, duramax, or cummins, I'm not tryin to step on any toes here, but please consider what im sayin unless you want a dead IDI?

Unless anybody can give me some very detailed good resons for it?

How does it make it better, Is the block really stong enough, can you increase the fuel pressure to what you need for a turbo?

 

Lol is all I have to say

 

what about the trucks like mine who were sold with a factory turbo ?
I have a 1994 f 250 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel.

 

All that high compresiion, its just gonna sooner or later burn itself up If you like it than im very happy for ya friend, but i know from experiance turbos on engines that wasnt made for em dont work well. Not stepin on nobodys toes at all

 

Your not going to burn the motor up, but you may loose a head if you get to crazy, the turbo helps with compression by forcing more air into the cylinders since diesel run off compression and not spark plugs, you can out a trubo on a non diesel engine, fuel pressure is generally the same as a turbo as a non turbo engine. Reason why a non turbo smoke alot because the engine itself cant draw in enough air into the engine, the turbo just shoves more into the engine, and it realy doesnt bring up the compression ratio. most diesel are 17:1 compresion ration and a gasser is maybe 8:1 ratio. In realty you not hurting the engine if you put a turbo on, your just helpin her breathe better...

Excuse the redneck spellin'

 

[QUOTE=7.3 idi 1990, Maybe im wrong and im sorry if it sounded like i was on ya guys, i just dont beleave in turbos on older diesels. Tryin to be good firends with evebody on here, could ya spread the word and see if some friend requests will come my way?

 

If it's not designed for it don’t put it on? What website do you think you're on? Better off modified baby! Granted, it's easy to go too far or blow something up, but the trick is to do it right, and improve your truck. That's why a lot of us are here, to share experiences, avoid blowing our stuff up, and help others improve their trucks while avoiding blowing them up.

 

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

Fuel needs air to burn, hence the need for a turbo. Turning up the fuel alone will just make it smoke and you won't get any more power.

You've got a lot to learn.

 

I'm sorry if i got on the wrong side, hope you can forgive me?

I'm sorry, i dint mean to get under your skin please forgive me? I guess even though i been aorund diesels all my life, i still gotta lot to learn. I hope you be willing to show me and teach me? I'm Sorry.

Sir, I just wanna say im sorry if I upset ya, i didmt mean to,I hope you can forgive me, I'd like to learn about turbo's. I just been around the older diesels, i thaught if you put a turbo on older diesels it would burn em up, I hope to learn all I can form my new friends on DB

 

Wonder what mod this is posing FAKE
