7.3s have a mechanical quality to them that won't ever be replaced. I just got my first 3.5 ecoboost and the difference between those two power systems is incredible. The ecoboost feels like you're operating a turbofan aircraft engine. Its idle is almost undetectable. Its constantly changing itself to be the most efficient engine in that situation. The 7.3 is a sporty tractor, you can feel the pistons moving the crank, the chatter of the hpop and valve trains resonating through your being. Its sloppy but dependable. These two engines make an interesting comparison to me because of the duality in their sizes, one is about half of the other. But they make similar power at 300ish hp 400ish torque. My 7.3 has 300k miles on all stock internals and with intake, exhaust, chip, intercooler, fuel, it can get 18-20 mpg on the highway 3.73 gears on 35s. My truck weighs 8500 lbs can get up to 20 mpg New Toyota Prius weighs less than half that and can get up to about twice that 40+ mpg How is a 18 year old diesel as efficient as a brand new hybrid?
What supporting changes would compounding a stock turbo and a s470 or something like that be? So far I'm running ARP studs and I don't know if I need anything else as far as the engine goes to handle that boost.
Twin turbos like 3 cylinders to one turbo and the last 3 cylinders to the second turbo and they would be smaller turbos what would this do and Iam pretty sure you would not have any turbo lag ?
I own an early 1999 ford F-250 superduty 7.3L and i would like to install a compound turbo system. can anyone tell me where i can get one? also interest in possibly going with a twin turbo set up. what the best way to install twin turbo set up in this 7.3L f-250 4x4
You can put one on your truck is not going to hold.either going to need head gaskets and studs o-ring firing a fully built bottom and rotated assembly. It has to be ready for for it set trucking that hold the power I cannot hold the low and power regardless a set up like this will see full boot at 2k at 75+ unless you have $15,000 laying around to do it properly your wasting your time. A paired single will be sufficient.
This is my personal parts list. My compounds have been done really “Cheap”. But I’ve only had it on the road for about a month. So far no major issues. I have: Valair single disk ceramic clutch, CSF intercooler, comp 910s, minor port job on the heads, track tech head studs, manton push rods, CNC stage 2 Hpop, home built 250-200 injectors, Home built KC turbos clone. It’s a USturbosystems 66/88 compressor and a 1.00 housing with the kc turbos SXE turbine wheel. I have a custom bosh 044 dual pump efuel that is a 4 line feed style. Im currently running a EBay T4 S475 atmosphere turbo (you will need to buy a quality bearing kit, preferably with gapless turbine shaft sealing rings), and i’m probably forgetting a few other things. Brain Jelich tuned it. My single disk is no where near adequate but if I leave it on strenuous tow the clutch isn’t much of a issue. By no means is doing things “Cheap” worth it though. Most things took quite a bit of revisions and even being moderately experienced when you change this many things on a truck with hand crafted parts. It’s inevitable that you will make a small mistake. I made a fairly major one but luckily caught it. I fought an injector body on a injector that I was building and ended up putting my nozzle plate on the opposite side of the pop off spring on one injector. I know very elementary mistake but when you work late at night and get frustrated sometimes you over look things. Anyway I started the truck and had a constant haze of white smoke right off. I figured it out before I hydro locked the motor but it was close.
@@williamuskoski1385 it’s not easy. Sometime this month I might get around to posting a video of driving it on better roads and this time it’s tuned for what I’ve got done not just a stock TS chip. If nothing else I might do a walk around. If you haven’t check out my video of my first test drive with the 250-200s
@@makeitbreakit7556 did you have a video up and end up taking it down? Any further development on your truck? Highly interested man, you sound like you waded right into the deep end.
Im on block #3 in the truck. Each one is either stock bore or 1 over. I don't remember the condition of each engine when i get them. I just take them to the race shop that does all the machine work and do the minimum oversize to true the bores. .040 over is the final size on that block without sleeves. The wastegate runs liquid though the hat to keep the silicone diaphragm form melting when tucked deep in the engine bay with minimal airflow and long periods of 1000F exhaust temperatures. Tial sells them.
Build the engine because when you run compounds you have more boost and a lot more hp and if you have other mods then compound your engine you can blow your engine really quick and fire ring your engine so you won't blow head gaskets like crazy
12v it bolts in a few hours - but I would upgrade a few things prior 7.3s only compound kit is like 4gs - I think you would definitely need injectors and hpop with compounds - if it's for a stock fuel setup ill be shocked
@@1997obspsd why is he wrong lol. I don’t even have a tune for anything on my compounds and she hasn’t had any problems. I even built my only injectors on my lathe. I did buy nozzles and plunger and barrel assemblies but I did my own machining on my intensifier pistons for the injectors. But I wouldn’t be quite as brave if I had a PMR rod truck.

How did all you illiterates miss the part where he added a chip and fuel?
Cool. Few people have the balls to do compounds on a 7.3 but nothing else can touch the results.
About time another 7.3l is on here. Should have Sam Wyse ,dusty holgate, or Chuck dorsey on here
Chuck Dorsey 🤣🤣👎🏻 shit bag taking people parts and money dude can't build a transmission to save his life if it depending on it.

springs and pushrods
What’s his social media would really love to see The truck
Twin turbos like 3 cylinders to one turbo and the last 3 cylinders to the second turbo and they would be smaller turbos what would this do and Iam pretty sure you would not have any turbo lag ?
You lose top end power though. Because you need smaller turbos due to only one bank powering each.

"Bored 20 or 30 over"- how could you not know this information?
"Water cooled wastegate"-what is that?
Viking Child a water cooled wastegate keeps temperatures down in extreme conditions usually only used in rotary engines tho
Bore doesn't matter regardless, I'll be in his paper work...

Did you have to build the motor to do compounds? Could I just add injectors?
