Finished watching this video then bought a 300x for my 2001 7.3 I’m also having that blue smoke after putting a used turbo on the truck about 8 months ago! Was back and forth on a spoologic turbo or kc stage 1
Do an oil catch can for the ccv mod instead of it dripping a little from the hose end. You can then connect the outlet from the catch can back to the intake boot where the ccv originally connects. No oil would go through I had mines connected the same way as yours but I couldn’t stand the smell and did a catch can
Just got a 2001 f250 7.3 and the nipple for the vacuum line to the wastegate broke off so it’s not active and I took that foil stuff off the hot side intercooler pipe so the factory turbo wines pretty good. If something goes wrong I’ll prolly rebuild the turbo with new orings and a s300 wheel.
@@nick7.398 kc turbos aren’t bad because they’re way more budget friendly my perfect setup with my 7.3 zf6 would definitely be a t4 kit s369 with some big ish injectors but that’s not much of budget friendly.
@@joshua12345j yes its a stage 1 and honestly pretty big difference, has no more compressor surge, quite a bit more power, lot less smokey than stock turbo as well. It sounds rowdy too when your at 2200-2500 rpm it screams, good whistle too getting up to speed
Nice truck man, I am thinking about going with the stage 1 for my 7.3 zf6 as well it has a bd turbo in it now and I don’t really like it. Do you have an insta or something I can chat with you about how the turbo feels I don’t really want to spend $1200 and find out I don’t like it.
Sweet truck! It also took me like 3 hours to change my turbo the first time. I can do it in like an hour now
it took me an hour to pull my turbo and install the new one. and then 3 days to get the rear clamp on lol
@@HondaRider190 lol that is extremely relatable haha, up pipe clamp is worst part of the entire job
@@nick7.398Is a DP tuner good for 99 7.3 ?
@@Nubako463 probably not, get a php hydra chip its the best by a mile
@@nick7.398thanks
@@nick7.398Is S&b Cold air intake good for stock 7.3 turbo ?

@@LexiDiesels yes sir the smell is annoying af might do that or catch can and still vent under cab idk if catch can filters the smoke
Nice
Great job
@@Caleb-12-05 thank you 🤝
@@nick7.398Do you know any tunes that make a 7.3 whistle loader like a 6.0 jet sound ?
@@Nubako463 cant be done, 6.0s have vgt turbos that gives it the whistle, a 7.3 will never whistle like that
@@nick7.398thanks

@@jontroyer7975 I thought of doing that but didnt want to do the work of rebuilding figured its faster to buy bolt in ready unit

@@jontroyer7975 yea like 3-3x the cost of this setup, would be sick tho
was that the stage 1 turbo. Did it make a noticeable difference
