When you ran that engine with the up pipes open, it reminded me of when I was a tank mechanic in the marine corps. The engine was a 1790 cubic inch V12 contiental twin turbo diesel. We would pull the engine, set it on the ground, run jumper electric and fuel to the tank, and run the engine on the ground. Standing right between the two turbos. pull the throttle wide open hahaha. It would rattle your guts. We were 20. We didnt need hearing protection either
Eh? What did you say? 63N10 your army counterpart here was in a HQ company and we only had I think 3 M60A3 Tanks so I mostly did wheeled stuff and 113's but my favorite was our M88 and recovery work! We called the packs super turbo charged the cooling fans were fun when ground hopped lol launch all kind of stuff way up in the air!!! Lol glad there are others out there that remember those days and the DAT's we had to deal with!!!
That hackjob has no right to sound as cool as it does. That's amazing. I need to get mine built; I have an '83 engine too. ARP studs right away, and the inconel valves from a 7.3 should hold up to the ChinazonBay ball bearing GT35 quite well 😁
in aus.. i have a 2000 s/duty. its the mwm sprint 4.2tdi veriaty. beazilian.. fitted a bigger slanti turbo, std is td04, i got a [big], td06. std nm is 510. now has 700. std killer wasps is 135, now has 180..kw. 14 lt 100, tows 4.5t.. love these not correct vids..
Shoooooot that's gotta be one of the better running 6.9 I've seen. Usually they scare ya trying to merge on the highway.. 14 psi isn't bad. Anything over 6 is adding power.
That's a pretty awesome turbo setup, I want to do something like that to mine. The factory turbo system is horrible. I will tell you this though, 15psi on an IDI will beat a stock 7.3 powerstroke, but only if you give it more fuel and more RPM. The factory pumps are super limiting. I have the R&D 90cc pump in mine as well as aftermarket valve springs, a big cam, and big injectors, and it makes a huge difference. Having full power up to 4200rpm is awesome.
You idi guys are your own special breed. lol 15 yrs ago I bought a idi with cracked heads and a banks sidewinder. Bought a used set of heads. and a few days later. That Idi was actually rowdy like a tuned 6.0 psd kind rowdy. But those heads only lasted that one weekend. Lol I dunno much about those old motor's but most likely they need that high compression to help with cold morning starts. If you get that compression down by porting the bowls and delip it will allow you to pull some more timing and make some decent gains Would also need a fast starter maybe modify a 6.4 or 6.7 I wouldn't worry about to much boost. Boost isn't the problem its the high temps that kill diesels from over fueling. Boost is a measurement of restriction. But it also a multiplier of hp. get a good exhaust temp gauge. try to aim the stoic air fuel ratio around 20 to 1. Then should see a lil over 380-400 hp at around 15-20 psi. I wouldn't go anymore on a non-bed plated bottom end.
Almost everything in this comment either doesn't apply to these engines, or is just wrong. I dont want to call anyone out, but dont want everyone believing it either.
"Don't worry about boost" "overfueling is the problem" 🤦♂️ jump up while falling down, too. The real irony here is the fact that a DB2 pump won't even overfuel a idi at moderate to high boost levels. A DB2 will barely overfuel an idi at low boost.

The power is all in your fuel pump internals and settings. Doesn’t matter how much airflow potential, you need fuel to build exhaust gas pressure to build boost to make that airflow potential from the turbos for the power you want. They’re large turbos so need a lot of exhaust gas pressure to build any meaningful boost
We had an OG 6.9. gotta love the international diesel. this thing will run with nothing more than a couple of power wires running to the valve on the injector pump. No HEUI, no electronic bs, Just fill it full of your favorite lamp oil, & a way you go. Ours was an actual fire truck with a heavy duty alternator. You would have to step on the gas to start the alternator working, even after the engine was runnin. Gotta love the 6.9/7.3 IH IDI. (I think the only difference was a head bolt or somethin.)😮😊
I love my 7.3 IHI. Thing is solid😂 only at 200k and its never had anything more serious than a water pump leak. Been thinking about intercooling it and throwing some fuel and a bigger smoke whistle on it

Glow plug Tip swap out for part number AC-12g / glow plugs .[[4.3l Oldsmobile 1984 diesel ]]]part i think but it works and no timing box needed just a 12 volt ford starter solenoid as the relay switch i did mine that way best thing i ever did no more dead glow plugs
I have twin hx35's on my 7.3, that I build to custom spec. What I found that works for boost starting at 1500rpm on up, is a 50mm compresor wheels and 10cm turbine housing. Your turbos turbos have a tad bit bigger compresor wheels, that makes it slugges to about 2000rpm and is what I found with the 54mm wheels I started with. Another note is those turbos you got, would have a better spec turbin than I have but the 53mm compressor is going to have an even harder time to light off because its smaller. So if you can get a smaller compressor wheel around the 48-50mm size and a matching housing, you will be able to get those to light off better.
thanks for the info, I did a ton of research on what would work best for this project, I just ended up buying some dirt cheap ching-chong turbos that were pretty close to what I was after. but I haven't tried them yet since in the first 2 weeks of having this thing on the road I roasted my clutch lol.
Cool project, I wonder if you would get more response from it by going to a pair of smaller turbos? Say like 2, 2.5L Chrysler units, would get all the same cool twin whistle but being smaller they would spool faster and make same boost pressure on there stock waste gates. Really enjoy the video, keep working on her, I’m intrigued
This thing actually responds a lot better than i expected, I thought it'd be a laggy turd. Might be better, or at least on par with the tp38(obs 7.3) turbo i had on my 7.3. That was doing 15ish psi, maybe a little slower to get there. Good video!
I never see much need to push basically any engine more than what it would put out at sea level. Heavy loads could probably benefit by a small percentage in boost but I want an absolutely bulletproof rig to make from what I already have.
subbed, this kids the next ZIpTiesAndBiasPlys for sure. that 896 going to 896k no doubt. (don't read to much into the liked comments they are quotes and reference's from another guys youtube that he moved over to patreon due to censorship lol)
I had one I never got on the road, just beat it thru the woods, I spend years looking for another one and finally got one on the road. Love these road tractors.
You don’t want to make a lot of boost with those turbos. Giant heat pumps after about 10 psi. Actually might be ok with only 4 cylinders feeding them. This is something I would build 😅 oh it looks like you have a waterbed for front suspension 😂
They'll take more boost than everyone on the internet wants to say. Kind of like the 6.5 guys saying 15psi will split a crankshaft in half. My 6.5 has been running 25-30psi of boost for over a decade towing and tons of miles on it. No head studs or anything special. There's a company that does performance DB2 pumps for the 6.5, 6.9, and 7.3 and they're fairly affordable. You won't make crazy power but it'll bring it clear of the gutless turd category.
This setup with one of those turbos Wastegated would improve both spool and boost, one diesels We rarely need the flow of twin turbos, We need the boost to force flow, having both in a compound setup would be ideal to make a lotta boost 60psi+
You need a upgraded DB2 pump, injectors and a cam swap if you want to go deep with it. I used to participate on a diesel site and we ran all kind of scenarios. Look up Moose Pump, Baby Moose pump. Adding air and no fuel just makes the old girl run cleaner, and we don't want that. Colt or Bullet can make a cam for the IDI.
Neat! Realistically,these engines can take around 8 PSI long term, because they don't have upgraded head studs, beefier pistons, wrist pins, larger compression ring, intermediate ring, enlarged ring lands, and an upgraded oil cooler like the later turbocharged models, which also have a much lower CR of 18:1
@@fastinradfordable I mess around with those Vw 1.6s a lot, me and my dad even swapped one into his 93 Toyota t100. We push 30 psi normally on stock engine, but I had no idea they had that much compression.
I had a 86, could not pull itself out of a puddle..... I do miss that old truck thought, could seat 6 people very comfortably..... will hit play now and find out what happened.....
You can't "turn up" the factory pump enough to make dual turbos do much of anything on the IDI's. If you want real power you need to either buy or rebuild your pump and enlarge the internals in the pump. There are places that you can get that stuff. I think the factory pump flows something around 80-90 CC or something like that, been a while since I messed with these a lot, however you can get more than double that out of those pumps. I put a 110cc on my 7.3 Turbo IDI before I sold it. If you are going to put two turbos on a diesel like that and want to get more power you should put them in a compound arrangement. That increases the total boost assuming you have the fuel spin them. I got myself into this trouble with my Turbo IDI which I bought with a bad turbo. I bought a turbo that I was told was a direct replacement only bigger. The asshole I bought it from saw a NOOB a mile away and cheated me good. The turbo was bigger, a LOT bigger and even with the 110cc pump it would produce about 5psi of boost if you were going up a hill with your foot denting the firewall. Those engines can be made to put out decent power 350hp 600torque but it's not cheap. You will spend more getting that amount of power out of an IDI than you would if you bought a 5.9 and the parts to get it to the same power. Personally I liked the IDI's but they aren't powerhouses without a fair bit of cash and I believe they have a lower ceiling than the 5.9 unless you retrofit a P-pump to it. Now if you want to spend 10-15k on a pump and retrofit the heads to accept the Cummins injectors along with the powerstroke rods and pistons you could probably push the 7.3 into 4 digits or at least close. Don't know how long it would live there but it's going to cost you 20-25k on the conservative side. Personally I would upgrade the pump to a 120-130cc pump, head studs, decent turbo, and intercooler, and let it live at the 275hp or so you will have there.
Love what you're doing. I have one serious question...what turbos are those? I ask because they look like GM 3/4/8 turbos. All of them are slightly different from each other. All of them suck. Their drive ratio is like 2.5:1 and they max out between 8 and 12 psi. At full throttle on a GM 6.5 diesel. An actual good turbo option would likely be a cummins HX35. Even stock it is WAY better
Factory pump, 7/16 head bolts. 2 over sized turbos. No glow plugs. On a 83. Just sending it. Music to my ears. If you want more power, swap in smaller turbos, feed it some propane, and get a bigger pump. Then you just need to wait to lift the heads. I have heard them blowing at 5, and some making running and driving all day on 25. Just keep sending it.

I put a 110cc on my 7.3 Turbo IDI before I sold it. If you are going to put two turbos on a diesel like that and want to get more power you should put them in a compound arrangement. That increases the total boost assuming you have the fuel spin them. I got myself into this trouble with my Turbo IDI which I bought with a bad turbo. I bought a turbo that I was told was a direct replacement only bigger. The asshole I bought it from saw a NOOB a mile away and cheated me good. The turbo was bigger, a LOT bigger and even with the 110cc pump it would produce about 5psi of boost if you were going up a hill with your foot denting the firewall. Those engines can be made to put out decent power 350hp 600torque but it's not cheap. You will spend more getting that amount of power out of an IDI than you would if you bought a 5.9 and the parts to get it to the same power. Personally I liked the IDI's but they aren't powerhouses without a fair bit of cash and I believe they have a lower ceiling than the 5.9 unless you retrofit a P-pump to it. Now if you want to spend 10-15k on a pump and retrofit the heads to accept the Cummins injectors along with the powerstroke rods and pistons you could probably push the 7.3 into 4 digits or at least close. Don't know how long it would live there but it's going to cost you 20-25k on the conservative side. Personally I would upgrade the pump to a 120-130cc pump, head studs, decent turbo, and intercooler, and let it live at the 275hp or so you will have there.
Love what you're doing. I have one serious question...what turbos are those? I ask because they look like GM 3/4/8 turbos. All of them are slightly different from each other. All of them suck. Their drive ratio is like 2.5:1 and they max out between 8 and 12 psi. At full throttle on a GM 6.5 diesel.
An actual good turbo option would likely be a cummins HX35. Even stock it is WAY better

@@treeswift1420 thanks man, I didn't get to finish the video. I hope he gets better turbos. Those are terrible.
4 turbos wont hurt am i right?
Factory pump, 7/16 head bolts. 2 over sized turbos. No glow plugs. On a 83. Just sending it. Music to my ears.
If you want more power, swap in smaller turbos, feed it some propane, and get a bigger pump. Then you just need to wait to lift the heads. I have heard them blowing at 5, and some making running and driving all day on 25. Just keep sending it.
Two words. Quad turbos
needs more duramax or cummins but sounds good so thats 80% of the way there

I care about your buttons on your old mechanical diesel❤
Badass

As old peg says, pump it with your half good leg lol.
nice
Yeah, that much starting fluid means that the compression is gone.
Man that sounds good lol
The ford 6.9 diesels are notorious turds. I can appreciate what you’re trying to do tho.
I daily a 3rd gen cummins, I gotta say... I FEEL ATTACKED AND I DONT HAVE THAT MANY TOOFS! Also, 33psi makes ma clutch all slippy
