94 turbo on a 89
 

can you put a 1994 7.3l idi with turbo take the turbo and intake hat and put it on a 1989 7.3l idi? and if so how do u take the turbo off the 94 ?:w2:

It will fit, but I think you need more than just the turbo and intake hat. I can't help with how to take it off since I've never done it. Someone should chime in that knows what to do though.

everything will bolt on. You need oil feed line to the turbo, and a blow by canister. So you have to have the driver side valve cover. And for the turbo you just un bolt the Y pipe the down pipe the pedistal for the Up pipes and diconnet your heat shield and oil feed line and your ready to put it all on.

yea, u need up pipes, down pipe, oil return line, oil feed line, snail shell intake, turbo, driveisde valve cover, and air cleaner assy. bolts on pretty easy. took me about 5 hrs total doing it myself.

i have a 94 turbo on my 86.

thanks everyone yall really helped me out :c: what all do i need of the 94 ? like manifold value cover exc

i listed everything u need in my prevoius post.

do i need the manifolds?

hows urs run since u put it on there? and does it blow smoke?

no, the uppipe bolts to the original manifolds.

mine runs good. only a haze of smoke when stomping on it.

was it easy to get everything off the 94? and where does the uppipes bolt to the manifold at?

can u tell the difference? and can u hear the turbo like at the exhaust pipe?

i hear my turbo loud. whistles pretty good.
yes i can tell difference. mine is a play toy, so not to much road travel. but in the mud it spins second high prey good now with my 3.54 gears and 36's.

spray up all the exhaust bolts with pb before removing, other than that it comes out pretty easy. hard part is reinstalling. fun to line everything up yourself.

everything lines up on the engine good? thanks man

the 7.3 idi is the same externally as a 6.9

how does the intake hat (snail shell intake) bolt on?

yea. one bolt threw the middle.

whats the wire that plugs into the middle of the turbo?

oil pressure sender.

how long did it take u to put everything on?

i got it all off except for the pipe underneth that comes from the driverside that hooks up to the up pipe but i believe i can get it tomrrow thanks for your help man:c:

about 5 hrs by myself and i am a diesel mechanic.

was it easy?

ehh. hardest part by yourself is gettin the uppipes and down pipes mounted.

yeah u had to custom make ur tail pipe coming off the downpipe i have to

yea, i bought an adapter to hook my downpipe to the original pipe.

i got it on i have to redo the clamp where the downfall pipe is cus its leaking and i didnt get the clamp on good enough cus exhaust fumes comes in the cab but my turbo i put on isnt very loud i can hear it but its not real loud

about how much does a project like that cost? thinking about doing that too on my 1990 7.3 and would a turbo from a 7.3 powerstroke work? like a 97?

with custom enginneering yes. will it bolt on, no. a used turbo setup for an idi can be found for 800-1000, or less if u get a good deal. new they are 1800-2400. banks, ats and hypermax sell turbo kits.

which would be the best way to go? and where would i find one used? how about a turbo off a stock 94? would it make much of a difference or is that a waste of time

if the 94 is an idi, it will bolt right on. that is the setup i am running. the stock idi turbo is made by ats.

find used ones on ebay, craigslist or junkyards. i found mine in a junk yard.

how much of a difference did it make on your truck? well worth the time and money?

for a daily driver ehh. maybe. if towing alot yes. i wheel with mine, not much road use and no towing other than the sled pulls i do every now and then. big different in mud. can hold rpms spinnin tires now in 3rd gear high range in mud.

gave it enough power to break parts.
