- Rebuilt twin turbo 300, all fuel injected now, easier to run.
Sorry I seem a little spacey, didn't really script it.
Things I forgot to mention on the video that are different: Oil cooler and roller rockers.
I love the high tech 120v receptacle mounted on the fire wall 👌🏽 mint
I think those used to be a common installed thing on work trucks it was actually part of a power inverter
Nebraska plates, hell yeah! Awesome build dude keep it up. Definitely following this.
That is an impressive build.
That happened because of not enough ring gap. Hypereutectic pistons can handle boost just fine if the rings get gapped more. Without ring gap, even a forged piston will break.
Wow crazy. Love it
I've got a 96 5 speed. what's a good total parts list for turbo kit and supporting mods. (Internals, manifolds, clutches, ecu. ECT)
Following the fuck out of this comment, this is my dream build
Like please do cause idk what to get as in turbo stuff for the 300 and I’m a powerstoke guy soo
You'll have to fab up some of the stuff even if you pick up an HD manifold with the center dump.
I have a '95 300 im gonna build. I need blue prints on how you did this bro. This is crazy!
I've gotten that question a few times, I should do a video on what I know and what I did
The Ford 300 is one of the best engines ever built.
@@justinzierott7580 Please do!
what's up friend. I have a 302 turbo truck with MS2, how did you tune the rasberry with the microsquirt? I would like to do a dash like the one you have in your truck but what should I take into account to make the rasberry work? thanks my friend.
Quote of the day.. Basically the idea is it's supposed to work better than that..... 😀 I have days like that also. Keep the videos coming I'm a 300 guy also. I have one in my rat rod. one waiting to be a rat rod, I'm going to set a 1938 Chevy 2 door on a 96 f150 frame and drive line. And I bought a 85 300 with a C 6 on it. Plus 2 more blocks. I'll put a turbo on one someday. How much were the pistons?
161Sheriff With rings and wristpins, about $800. Glad to see other 300 guys out there
Need to know more...got the same truck..
What do you need to know? I've moved on from this project and working on a higher hp engine now
That was caused by improper ring gap, had nothing to do with compression or material.
That's a bummer, I tried really hard to get it right. I ground it to .032 gap
I know this is 3 years old but I am so curious to find out how much horsepower you were able to squeeze out. I have seen a gentleman who owned a 1995 f150 ran a single turbo pushing around 625hp.
I never did dyno it
Why u didn't start it
I have been looking forward to your videos, I am a 300 enthusiast and will turbo one eventually, on your blowthrough build you maxed at 13 psi, now that you have more control over pretty much everything with efi and the forged slugs how much boost would you like to see now?
Diggle Jones The absolute maximum the turbos can put out at my engine flow is 17psi so I'll stick with 15psi
Justin Zierott I imagine when you get it dialed in you will hit close to 300hp and be well over 500ft lbs of torque, right on ! Keep us updated :D
What turbos are you running?
When i bought my truck i was praying for a 300 ended up settling for aa 460 still wish i could find a 300 truck that wasnt blown to shit, they were work horses and used as such
alajsj T I have a shortbox 67 I plan on putting a 460 in that's stroked to 520. I wanted to have a turbo engine and an NA engine. 300s where I live are easy to find, a lot of power units for wells
I've got a stack of them that need overhaul, which isn't overly expensive.
My buddy's father had a construction business , and I remember the 86 Ford f350 they got new with a 460.
Us kids beat the crap out of that thing.
We actually figured out how to get it to pop wheelies , what a torque pig it was.
Last year for the carb too :(
**Is that the stock 1969 electronic fuel injection system, turbo and computer unit that came as standard equipment on the 1969 Ford F-100 pickup?** I'm pretty sure the aftermarket high performance cpu chips weren't quite as advanced back in 69, but I could be wrong. I can remember dialing in my old '66 Chevy C10's 250ci inline 6cyl with the slower laptop computers of the mid 60s. It only had a dual core processor and just 1gb of hard drive space back then!
The standard Hankook Dynapro tires would break loose easily with the stock dual 98mm Turbonetics turbos on the 250 inline 6. In 1967, Chevy went with dual 88mm turbos on the base model C10. Lol
Title of the video: megasquirt
How many lb of boost broke your piston?
I’ve got a 92 f150 in-line 6 300 wondering what to upgrade first. It’s all stock and want to build it. What do you think would be the best place to start
Joseph Lanoue I'm not sure considering it's a stock efi engine. Maybe they make a computer friendly cam.
Will the 302 throttle body bolt right up to the 300? And all wire connections the same?
I can't say for sure on the wire connection, but yes it bolts on. The throttle connection is different though
@@justinzierott7580 I put a 302 TB on my 95. Had to cut & weld pieces of the stock linkage to the 302 TB. Also gasket matched TB to manifold by carefully tapering inward. It's a fairly thin casting once you get past the flange. As far as the tps,cut the the plug off the stock harness. Then solder on the 302 plug with a pigtail from the 302.
How much did the forged pistons cost to have custom made
The pistons with wrist pins and rings were about 900
Cool setup. So are you running it batch fired? Cause the Microsquirt only has 2 channels for injection and ignition from what I remember
You are correct, batch fired
Cool man. How do you like the tune ability with batch fire ?
@@kikkegek it seems to work fine for me, I don't think I would have really noticed a difference from batch to sequential
@@justinzierott7580 ok cool! so this was 2 year old post. How is it running?
@@kikkegek it runs well, timing and fueling is a slippery slope but nothing major
This is a formal call out to all turbo 300 trucks. We should all heat together and find out who has the fastest one. Message me if your game
John Zimburean I've got to get mine up to snuff and tuned properly before I even think about racing. I'm in Nebraska
Profound probably has/had the “fastest” 300 turbo in his pickup.. 12.44 1/4mile..now he’s playing with a turbo 460 plow truck.. next would be this fellow but last I found or read he cracked a bore or something along those lines... had a wicked build thread on fordsix.. ruclips.net/video/-ZHLytTaFN0/видео.html

What state are you in? I've got a 300 turbo in an f150. We should race 😀
The Bosch Green monsters. Ev1?? I think they are the same ones I have in my Volkswagen 1.8t . 440cc ev1.
I think they're Bosch, I bought them as a dynamically flow matched set from Deatschwerks. I think they're rated at 42lb/hr at 43.5psi
What software are you running on that raspberry pi? This whole setup is super cool! Also is the exhaust manifold custom made?
Steven F Tunerstudio on the Raspberry pi, and yes i custom made the manifold myself and had it ceramic coated
@@justinzierott7580 how do you hook up a raspberry pie without obd2??
@@rocsti5402 there's a 9 pin serial port coming off of the ecu, so I just plug into that with an adapter
@@justinzierott7580 so oem ecu is not used then correct, just unplugged completely?
@@justinzierott7580 do you have a fb? There's a couple of questions I'd like to talk to you about with the megasquirt setup. I can't find anything truly helpful online and have been chatting back and forth with Matt at diyautotune. Really could use some insight.
Hey man. Looks like you and I have the same microsquirt setup. What are you using for crank trigger? The stock tfi distributor? I instantly subscribed.
Deranged Fords thanks for subbing! I bought a new distributor with the magnetic pickup, just two wires.
Also....that piston damage does not look like damage from detonation. It looks like you butted the rings. What did you gap them to this time around?
Deranged Fords well I don't remember honestly. I know that my gap was super wide the first time. I chalked the piston failure to 9.5:1 compression and 15psi of boost
Deranged Fords maybe it was .032"
That definitely looks like the ring lands broke because of butting. Loose is good for boost, because the combustion pressure heats the rings way more than the intended amount. I tapped my 351 to 028 to be safe.
I've got a turbo 300 running megasquirt. Have it starting pretty good down to 0 degrees outside. I can email you my tune to look over and compare to yours if you'd like, sounds like too much timing while cranking in this video
DEEREJOHN114 yea I would like another to compare to, I actually lost the head gasket because I think I had too much timing
DEEREJOHN114 also, I have a crazy amount of feedback caused by my starter when cranking. Did you have that issue?
I’m wondering if they sold you the same wiseco pistons I had whipped up for my 8:1 block with modern ring pack dimensions... anyhow debating getting rid of my maf setup and playing with the micro squirt, how did you find the base tuning to get the truck running again?
sthorvictor they sold me a piston design that they had done for someone else already, and I remember the rings were thinner than stock.
I followed setup directions and filled in some constants and after some frustration I got it to start
Justin Zierott have you put a few miles on the engine since?
If I remember it was close to 600g weight loss in the combined piston weights. Mine ended up being a 1.2mm ring was planning on running total seal gapless rings, but went with sealed power hellfires.. only have 20minutes on the engine with the new pistons, as the cam wiped a lobe. Curious if you noticed a difference? I pushed for a 0deck piston/ ended up being around 0.001” protrusion to maximize quench and minimize the detonation potential. I have seen some of your early videos but was all prior to the efi stuff I believe?
sthorvictor I've got 1000 miles on the rebuild. I don't have the piston spec sheet handy, I have the small chambered efi head so I had to put a heck of a dish on the piston and drop it in the hole 0.050" so I ended up with 8.0:1. After a bunch of research I wasn't worried about quench on this project. I didn't really notice a difference in driveability going from 9.5:1 to 8.0:1
Whats up with the 110 plugs in the engine bay?
nick beaman from what people told me, it was a factory option for running tools and stuff
No way I’ve seen hundreds of these trucks. Never heard of it. That’s someones handy work. Toyota did include it in Tacoma ~2006 100W/400W engine running. It can be done...
Evan West well they did a pretty good job with the factory harness then
Can you tell me about how you set up the fuel injection system
I got rid of the factory regulator on the rail and installed an aftermarket regulator. Ran a line back to the fill neck to dump back into the tank. Put an inline pump down on the frame rail in the engine bay
@@justinzierott7580 solid im wanting to supercharge and part of me wants to run megasquirt and the other part of me is thinking about trying to put bungs in an offenhouser intake and using something like fitech stand alone port injection kit but idk
@@dillon8987 I think either would work fine, the only issue for me is fueling. Cylinders 1 and 6 will get less fuel no matter what you do with a "carburetor". Since forced induction has a much smaller window of error, you might have issues with getting it all set right.
@@justinzierott7580 well that fitech is true port injection it's not throttle body injection
@@justinzierott7580 I'm looking into tweecer as well
Ring Gap!!!
did you have to mess with the harness a lot or did you get an adapter for the megasquirt to just plug into the stock harness
Reaper I got the megasquirt pigtail and cut and soldered everything.
Topher?
What is your horse power and torque numbers?
KevinGHOSTBAY I haven't put it on a dyno yet but I built it with the expectation of 300hp/500lbf
@@justinzierott7580 I bet you're making at least 300 at the wheels. I saw another single turbo 300 six making over 200 hp at the wheels.. The engine was mostly stock other than the turbo. lol
@@AmericanThunder that's true, and I did a rebuild and cam specifically for a turbo engine. If it made less than that I'd be disappointed
Stock is best for me but this is cool to
I can agree that stock is best for longevity and reliability. I had a rebuilt 240 in my pickup all through high school and I ran the piss out of it every day and never had a problem.
Wtf with the 12 volt outlet under your hood
It was something that somebody added aftermarket before I got it. It's unhooked
What brand is the minisquirt
It's made by Bowling and Grippo. DIYAutotune is where I got mine
What software on the Pi?
Raspbian OS and Tunerstudio
I see that. lol
YOU DIDN't HAVE ENOUGH RING END GAP!!!!!
You don't know that
Single turbo 88a/r b better imo
