7.3 idi turbo
 
Hey guys I'm new. I have a 93 idi that I want to put a Turbo off of a 95 7.3 what kind of boost will that Turbo produce

The 1993 IDI should only be running 10 psi boost stock at most unless you do some work to the engine. The 1995 is a powerstroke and it runs higher boost because the compression is lower. My $.02

94.5-97 7.3 psd turbo would be laggy for you. With a Turbine AR of over 1.0, i would choose a better/more efficient charger

Thanks guys . What Turbo would you recamend using and what would it be off of

I really like my holset he351ve off the 6.7l cummins. It's VGT so you get instant boost and as you go the turbo opens up allowing it to run very efficiently. If you don't have any fuel mods I'd look into a holset hx35, a borgwarner s256, or if your looking to spend a lot then a Garrett gtx series. Holset will be cheapest because they came stock on all the cummins so not rare whatsoever

91dirtydiesel is correct.. but watch how much boost you run until you beef the engine up... head gaskets are one thing that will start getting annoying trust me :tu:
head studs and new head gaskets are a must for more boost

I've had no issues up to 24psi on head bolts. But I have relativley low intake air temps/egts and back pressure, whitch defiantly help

tcn7.3 12-07-2012 07:39 AM

Thanks. How do I get low egts and intake temps and back pressure

install a cold ait intake system, get a more free flowing exhaust incluting a bigger downpipe, and possibly and intercooler. the idi's esp. factory turboed idi's have very squished exhaust systems :dang:

I'm also going to be doing a holset turbo, let me know what turbo you used.
