Hey, Sawed Off. You make some entertaining videos and you have a lot of good ideas that I can't wait to see you build. Please make more videos more often. PS. Love that Mustang let me know if you want to sell it.
Aparently there is guys that put the b234 volvo head onto the 2.3 fords. Your drain back should be straight and at least a -10. Drill a bigger hole in the valve covers x2 + catch can.
Factory idi turbo have the same compression ration as n/a but have stronger rods and wrist pins. I ran one at 18-19psi for years. Most say 13psi Is 100% safe. 8psi on a 6.9idi due to small head bolts. I have ran a few and the one I built made real good power. Hit me up if you have questions or just want to bullshit. Nolan.
Cool seeing you wearing your Dunlops at 11:58. They're awesome boots for sure. Do you ever wear your pants over top of the boots though? I think they're better like that. Would be good to see you trying them like that in your next video.
Certainly wouldn't be financially worthwhile but the pinto 2.3 was widely used in the UK. Never in stock 2.3L form. Also the cosworth dohc uses the same block and they've pulled mega hp
The 7.3 idi is junk my pops and I just rebuilt his 6.9 idi with total seal rings and upgraded springs and boosted it. Runs like a beast! Much better than his bown up 7.3 lol
On the oil pressure sensor just tee it into the feed line did that on my 6.2 Detroit I put a turbo on and it's been like for goin on two years now no issues
I had a 2.5l & 2.3l lima engine both turbo charged with dual plug heads. Both survived 400+ hp. Check into esslinger racing, they specialize in the lima engines
Overboosting is an issue with small turbos, lag is an issue on too big of turbos as the engine is barely putting enough exhaust out to spool er up, on an undersized turbo you're putting 7.3 litres of exhaust through a turbo designed for 5.9
You maybe made 8-10psi tops with no load of boost. You didn't blow the head gaskets you'd have exhaust coming out the water jacket. That blow by is normal on a old idi. Also your turbo oiling out the exhaust is probably from all the crankcase pressure you need atleast a 1 inch breather on the engine either drill your valve cover hole to 1 inch or better yet pull it from the little cover on the injection pump gear housing. Sounds good though
👍👍may perhaps need a bigger turbine housing and/ or turbine wheel...as someone mentioned,trying to shove 444 cubes through one that's meant for 359... maybe would lower drive pressure.. High drive can be hard on things.HX40 maybe better suited for it..Idk,just a thought ..👍👊
That turbo looks like it’s tipped back , I was told to always tip your turbo slightly forward so the cold side is down hill . Stops oil pooling on the exhaust sides seal .might be your oiling issue
I would like to send you a pic of the turbo setup I just did on a 91 idi that I put a non waste gated hx35 on with a 6.7 powerstroke air to water cooler
I just got a turbo 7.3 idi to swap into my sadly blown up na 7.3 powered crew cab 90’s dually. I traded a car I got as payment for fixing a vehicle for a Friend. Basically I traded a 500 dollar car for a turbo 7.3. Just got to pull it out of the truck I didn’t want that they delivered. Once I got what I need they will come back with the trailer and haul it away.
That single hx35 with a 12 or 14 cm turbine, is too small for that engine as a single turbo. It will give all its got low in the rpm range, and will choke the engine with high back pressure high in the rpm. A single with a 18 cm turbine or twin with 10 cm turbine, would be a better choice. I have twin with the 10 cm turbine on mine, and will see how it runs here soon. 3678923 is a part number of plugs you can get to delete the glow plugs and drop compression some, to give the head gasket a shot at life.
Oil drain is to small that is why your turbo is blowing oil out the hot side turbo lab America has a couple good videos explaining turbo oil feeds and drains
With all due respect, you build the most ghetto, legit stuff ive ever seen lmao
It's what he's good at, that and ghost rider burnouts haha
that idi and turbo setup would look good in peg's dynasty
Dammit Willard, yer fuckin stunned
The look at the camera on the first start up 😂 Dr. Frankenstein

You can run the b230 8v head too it just doesn’t flow as well as the b234 16v Dohc heads
Haha I forgot i subscribed to the sawed off Frenchman! Pleasant lil Sunday night surprise 👍 long live the navistars!!
On the four banger the cylinder walls are shiny as hell that's where you're losing your compression
That’s what I was thinking too. Strange that it wouldn’t start when hot though.
Your f-k it full send it attitude is refreshing sir 👏

You can not just show us a work bench full of rifles and not shoot any... jfc do i feel hurt
Got to love the rifles

Peg maybe has hundreds of spare turbos but i belive 99.9% of them are mostly reduced to paperweight.
Just glorious!

Dingle hone that 2.3, gasket set, cam and followers, fresh rings, oil pump and bearings. Installed!
That hx35 did sound sweet when it actually ran lol
I’m waiting for a supercharged 12valve
I had a 2.5l & 2.3l lima engine both turbo charged with dual plug heads. Both survived 400+ hp. Check into esslinger racing, they specialize in the lima engines
Esslinger proformance stroker kit would be sick for the ranger 😊
Sawdoff Frenchman you can take and make your own intake manifold for a 4-barrel for that 2.3
This is nice. You should do tutorials on how to fab turbo manifolds!
That hx35 sounds mint on that thing

A lot of people put those turbos on 7.3s

Where's ol Hines creek? Been dying for another vidya?🤔
Another video!!! I love your vids!!!!
👍👍may perhaps need a bigger turbine housing and/ or turbine wheel...as someone mentioned,trying to shove 444 cubes through one that's meant for 359... maybe would lower drive pressure..
High drive can be hard on things.HX40 maybe better suited for it..Idk,just a thought ..👍👊
Can’t believe that’s what did the 7.3 in. A pound or 2 of manifold pressure? Hone that 4 banger and put new rings, she will be mint
Esslinger racing makes crazy Lima parts
Ok neo...but for how much?$
Love it!!

Yra should put twin Cummins turbos on that idi 😅 6:40
I just learned that the top of the pistons if the edges are clean the rings are not sealing.
Check the ring gap.
That single hx35 with a 12 or 14 cm turbine, is too small for that engine as a single turbo. It will give all its got low in the rpm range, and will choke the engine with high back pressure high in the rpm. A single with a 18 cm turbine or twin with 10 cm turbine, would be a better choice.

Your turbo oil issue... your oil drain back off the turbo needs to be much bigger!!
The 2.3 engine tear down 🤣🤣
Love how it sounds just like a power stroke 7.3 haha. That idle is iconic.
Question. Does the Turbo 7.3 IDI have the same internals as the NA 7.3 IDI? crank, rods, cam, pistons ext.. ext...
Holset turbos requires atleast 18mm inner diameter hose. Otherwise those will flood from oil and get fucked up
Sounded rowdy that's fur sure
Will a turbo 7.3 IDI fit in a Ranger? Might be decently fast in a small truck.
You should find a old airplane radial engine and put it into the bed of one of your old trucks and get it running
Just ignorant!! Luv it!!
I have 2.3 parts 😂 a carb manifold and a single plug head. They are sitting outside tho so not sure how good it is
Peg probably has a 7.3 idi laying around
Maybe
fkn mint
Is twin turbo an option sawed off?
Looks like a kinda normal amount of blow by for an idi
Oil drain is to small that is why your turbo is blowing oil out the hot side turbo lab America has a couple good videos explaining turbo oil feeds and drains
time for some cdd head studs all the boost and see if Sargent rod goes to the moon
How much for the turbo kit if u sell
All of it
7.3 will rise again...
I thought your video was supposed to be about 7 7.3 diesels why are we talking about 4-cylinder Rangers
Destroke a 7.3 to a 6.9 with cylinder wall and throw a fat ol turbo on it with an increased redline.
Hey sawed-off, ive got a he351ve if your interested
incapable of getting up to 55mph without the turbo?
Is this going in the mud bogger?
Where Is Peg, its time for some "durability testing"
u sure it wasnt just bad valve seals on that 2.3
How much hp ...... all of it! 👍 👌
It's always cylinder #3
👋
I thought you were going to write turd
6.9’s are better than 7.3’s. 6.9’s have stronger cylinder wall’s because it’s a 7.3 idi before it was bored out. 6.9’s are better period
A little bit too much chooch
turbo drain is too small. thats why it's blowing oil
