Okay, here's one for you. Do you think if I got the oil line, built a bracket & had some tubing made up I could use the turbo off of an 94-99 Powerstroke?
I'd like the one from Hypermax but I know it's alot easier to find a Powerstroke turbo. I know someone else has thought of this too.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

 

[Cat_Rebel]

How about the BIG turbo (of a set of twins) from a CAT C15?

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

With the right supporting mods you should be able to spool it up just fine LOL.

Compression on a IDI is 21 to 1 or something close. a powerstroke is 17 to 1. You will blow head gaskets anything over 15 psi. oke: If you want a turbo look on ebay that is designed for An IDI.

 

[Cat_Rebel]

What if I use about 5 tubes of JB Weld on the head gasket (******* head studs) & regulate the boost to 15lbs?

 

[greenbeast]

as long as you have a waste gate i would think it would work.

I got an early 99 turbo, needs a rebuild and a wheel.....

doesn't hypermax max lower compression pistons?

 

[Cat_Rebel]

Not sure about doing business with them, but DPS sells head studs for the 7.3L IDI now. They are asking $675 or so. Not sure how much good they would do but I want some!

If you were to shave your pistons down it would work

Do you want to give me a hand with that plus install some head studs & lower the compression. :ford:

 

[Dieselboy]

For sure man. I'm always down.

 

[Cat_Rebel]

Where are you at anyways?
I want a set of head studs that arn't made by DPS.

Hey just send me the c15 turbo I will put it on my 3406 and make sure it works. LOL

 

[Cat_Rebel]

I know it was off of a larger CAT with twins. The rocker arm fell & took out the smaller turbo. The big one was just fine. So do you have twins or are you wishing that you do my friend?

I want to swap my stock turbo to a bigger newer one. Mine is fine but I only make about 18psi boost ... but that is another story. I am getting this thing in the shop it needs pump work real bad hell even with a plug in the aneroid valve it does not make any heat on a 7% grade. If I get the pump fixxed(oil leaks and delivery valves need to be set up right) it should make someheat then.

 

[Cat_Rebel]

Yep a set of twins would be perfect!
