7.3l FPR BB Shim

- How to shim the Fuel Pressure Regulator on the 95' Ford 7.3l with a bb. The fuel pressure in this truck was bouncing between 25-50psi prior to this shim. Afterward, the pressure stays around 55-60psi at idle.

Best music for the finale!
International makes a proper spring kit for this... it was actually installed stock in later model T-444E engines... International Claimed it was just to help Injector Cackle, howeverr it was noted in a lot of school busses that it made the engines run quieter and smoother over-all..
the T-444E also has a proper return line, and a fuel nut made for plumbing a return..
Thanks - that's good info. Do you happen to have a part number for this kit in case anyone wants to go this route to correct their low fuel pressure?
why put a ball there? perhaps he brings it from the factory. or do you do it to exert more pressure?
my powerstroke does not have it ... should I have it there?
part number??
Good mod for free as the stock fuel pressure spring weakens your pressures drop good way to bring them back to stock or a even higher psi 👍🏻
That gauge is awesome
What a clean 7.3 nice
This was really entertaining!
This worked for awhile. Not sure if the brass BB worn down but i ended up having to add 2 BBs> Maybe the valve poppet is worn on mine or the seat where it seals off in the housing.
Good trip / trick!
Is this mod still working... Where does it make a difference?
Nice set of tools...
🤣😂
He did it though.
I am not even whelmed. Using a crescent wrench to do what should be done by a socket and box end wrench.
Absolutely. But if you're still building your tool arsenal (like I was at the time of this video) and you don't have a particular socket or wrench, don't let that keep you from getting the job done.
If I were to do this same install today, I'd reach for a deep-well socket...but hey, nearly 7 years later and I haven't had to touch this sensor - so I'd say the crescent wrench did ok
@@diydiesel8897how has the mod held up...?
when I did that to mine it made 92psi idling and when I floor it, it goes down to 72psi or so. I wonder why yours stayed almost stock... if the injector pressure drops below 40psi, expect some injector work in the near future! 😳
Did you check the spring to make sure it wasn't bent over?
Puedes dar instrucciones porfavor
Ni really clean hey where do you buy that gage on your truck
I purchased the gauge from glowshiftdirect.com
Thank you for your time good help
wat effect does it do to the truck i have the same truck 1997 powerstroke 7.3 will this be a good mod to do i don't know wat my pressure is i want to know wat will it do to ur truck
COMO SE LLAMA TODA ESA PIEZA COMPLETA
Cual piesa? Donde puso el ballin con resorte es el regulador de pression del disel
that second sensor you unscrewed with the connector, was that an aftermarket fuel pressure sensor? Or was that the icp sensor
7.3 noob here
Aftermarket fuel pressure sensor running to the gauge at the end of the video
Icp sensor on the head
I put in a new fuel pump on my 97 diesel
It turns on and then cuts off
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks
did you find what is wrong im having the same issue
what benefits does this give you? better MPG? more power? what?
It gives more fuel pressure to prevent fuel starvation to the injectors
What would happen if you use two BBS instead of one in the shim mod
You're pressure would probably be way too high!
Heck I use 4 BBS in my 7.3, the more you can fit in there the better.
How is this a Shim?
Replacing the regulator BB with a air rifle BB maybe but a shim is a thin piece added to something to get the desired or needed thickness.
So what size BB? .17?
+ww5rm bad!! I tore into it and now see! =]
I see the light ! =]
I wonder why the rebuilt kit is so expensive? Motocraft label? I wonder what the International house costs?
What size bb did you use
Nice vídeo , I tried to the same and the pressure go up to 80 but while running 55 m h. the pressure is in 40 and if I want to acelerate the pressure goes all the way down , like at 70 mh the pressure is in 0 psi , do you know what’s wrong ?
Hard to say...if the engine is eventually starved of fuel, it might be a problem with the fuel delivery from the tanks to the fuel bowl.
Probably 2 small screens in the fuel pickup that most people don't know about (thanks utube). I've done the e-fuel conversion, and as soon as I save the money I'm putting sumps in both tanks.
what exactly does it do and what size BB is it?
+Arisbel Matias It increases the compression on the spring that regulates the pressure, giving the same effect of having a slightly stiffer spring. Use a .177 caliber bb (4.5mm).
Ok tks
what gauge is that
It's a Glowshift 3-in-1 Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge with digital readouts for boost and fuel pressure
what year do you have? I want the same gauge but can't find that pod anywhere, can you help?
You're asking what pod I used to mount the gauge in?
I wanted the cleanest look I could get, so I ordered a 60mm gauge pod that could easily be detached from any included bracket. I then pop-riveted just the cup portion to the steering column cover. The exact gauge pod I purchased is only shipped from Australia, NZ, and the UK (unless you can find one on ebay).
