Great video, but I wish you'd said more about the results. Did the upgrade make a meaningful difference in performance? I am interested in doing this to my otherwise stock obs, wondering if it's worth it.
Im about to do this on mine, but im also fixing a bunch of other boost issues. So performance improvement may be biased in my experiences.
Following..... I just did a banks intake and also installed a gutted pedestal and ebpv delete on my 01 F350 srw. I plan on doing up pipes and a kc balanced kit. Currently with an older edge tuner on race mode I'm getting 18lbs bost on my electric glowshift gage.
Ran my truck today with enclosed 12 ft tool trailer in tow. I'm maxing out at a solid 20 psi boost.
Love my 7.3 with the kc turbo I did the evbp delete as well wakes up the truck for sure . Huge fan on the kc turbos . They come with a warranty as well so that’s nice 😊. Best sound ever .
definitely stealing the board idea
This when I am grateful for my topside creeper. I don’t miss the board days.
Love the content. I am in the process of putting compounds on my 96 12v cummins
I just finished a oem rebuild on my turbo. I also pulled the pedestal, fuel bowl and oil lines. Since I’m waiting on two tools and a sensor. I about to clean up Intake manifold & bowl. You got the turbo out pretty quick.
Keep up the great channel. I repped you in my latest vid.
I’ll check it out man, you have some solid content yourself!
I also thought it was a really well put together kit. KC has been an AWESOME company to work with!
They’re awesome! Really knowledgeable and have great customer service👍🏻
@@The73Garage For sure! Now I just need them to design a T4 kit!!!
Can I please have specs on your 7.3 liter over the top creeper lumber board I rather spend my $200 plus dollars on truck parts instead of a real metal over the top creeper yours seems to do just perfect thanks
You can use the EBPV on the turbo as an exhaust brake with special tunes. I did it on my 2002 7.3
Man that is real cool to know
That’s pretty cool
But then you really should change to heavier exhaust valve springs...
really considering rebuilding with this KC kit. Getting some better boost and a bit of an HP gain for $450 sounds much better than $1200 for a brand new turbo.
A lady’s foot pry bar is handy on popping those V-bands loose. Also violence. Lots and lots of violence.
I now have 4 7.3’s 🤗 got I got an obs by trade for a clapped 93 Honda Accord. Anyway, I think you’ve talked me into the of turbo rebuild. Nice videos bro👍🏻
1989 called and doc brown wants his back to the future glasses back.
I’m not a 7.3 guy but I grew up in Hollywood Florida an I seen a few spots I remember on your vlogs
Any way I can talk to one of you directly about my 7.3?
You still have a question?
@@scottycrippin2126 i do, what could cause my brakes to go weak my truck barely stops brake booster seems okay and no leaks
Hooked up to ebpv. Lol. I did the same.
If you lift the body off the body of the truck is it easier to install the turbo and the up pipes.?
I half to change the oil pan that's why I'm asking!!
The engine has to come out in order to change the oil pan, but if you’re going to remove the cab you might as well do everything while it’s off!
I have a 7.3 (2002 year) and I am going to need to replace the turbo. I don't care about making it a hot rod but who doesn't mind a little extra umph? But I don't want to shorten the engine life - right now it is bone stock. What would you recommend when it comes time to replace the turbo?
Looking for any good and knowledgeable shop that can do a frame off restoration, for my 1997 Ford F350 crew cab with the 7.3???? I am in California but willing to get her done in another state. Anyone have a shop in mind please reach out. Thank you Frank
Does this kit help lower egt's , and can you please tell me the price of this kit, I thought you said $450 in your previous video. Keep up the 7.3 content, your doing a great job!
Thank you! Yes, KC claims it lowers egts, increases boost and throttle response. It is $450 plus shipping👍🏻
More air flow over stock always helps lower egt’s.
Could you tell a difference in boost and acceleration as well, I wonder if you think this is a good alternative to a new turbo.or In retrospect would you just buy a whole new turbo setup for more performance.
John Vande Vusse give KC a call and talk to them about it. I know a good amount about these trucks but not an expert in turbos. KC is. Just be prepared with answers to what you want to do with the truck before you call.
@@adamm74 I' have to save up some cash 1st, going to replace the turbo pedestal seals and up pipes along with whatever turbo upgrade I decide on. My mileage has gone down recently and I'm wondering if my injectors need a refresh. My engine has 133k on it. I still get over 20lbs of boost so I don't think I have any major boot leaks. Do you have any ideas about fuel mileage loss.
What type of waste gate is that ?
You seem to be really knowledgeable about rings-n-shafts, lol, while Frank is doing all the work, you just walk around babbling, ffs!, grab a wrench and help him, you also need some bigger sunglasses, those little dinky things will never dew, smh, great video guys, thanks for sharing.
I'm a 7.3l IDI owner, but the power stroke is alright with me.
Nice vid on the assembly but, the back pressure valve really has no use for u folks in florida. The main reason for the back pressure valve is cab heat. It closes and helps the 7.3l warm up faster so u have cab heat quicker. I had mine off first time maybe 6 years ago for the WW2, while i was there i removed the buttery fly and shaft, installed steel soft plugs to close it up. Then i removed the pedestal , disassembled the actuator and removed the guts of it. Drilled and tapped the rod side for a pipe plug, got rid of the whole works. This is also a known oil leak area, from the rod of the actuator. A couple of years ago i went with the kc300x.
I know this is old, but that noise of first startup after the install sounded like the compressor wheel hitting the housing.
i deleted my ebpv on my 97. you wouldnt believe the difference from just removing that valve alone . it was unreal
How dose a man get ahold of you ? I have some questions I'm in the middle of a build and looking for some guidance.
I have a 7.3 engine and I am looking for someone to repair it for me. You repair engines for the public.
you're the 7.3 version of Daft Punk
Is there any way you could contact me I really need some answers on building a 7.3
Are those fucking snowboard goggles?
I put a bd turbo spider up pipes in my e99 . I didn't notice any huge power gains. Sounds awesome tho ..
So are you sticking with the e99 set up? Or going late 99-03 set up?
Hey bud. I have this in the cart on KC Turbos site. I'm stuck between this and the stage 1 or 2 turbo. I have a TS 6 position, 4 Inch downpipe , 5 inch back and an intake.
Did this make a nice difference? Not looking to race really but want a nice upgrade I will notice. Hopefully a louder whistle too lol
It’s worth it for sure! It’ll be a nice upgrade.
What is your recommended procedure prep for the first restart of a new/rebuilt turbo? Do you crank the motor with the fuel pump fuse/relay disconnected to get the oil flowing, or just pre-lube it to death, and start it normally? Ty
I’d the engine is back from the machine shop, you’ll need to do as you said. Prime is by cranking it over for intervals. The Low pressure oil pump will move oil through the engine and up to the injectors. Pre-lubing parts is also important during assembly!
How much of a gain do you see with the rebuild?
I have a 2002 Dually 4x4 4dr. In the cold even plugged up it has no power. Just idles up the road until it really gets some heat in it. Any idea what this could be?
Diesels run terrible when cold just warm it up before you take off
Do y’all do the up pipes also ? Or do you not have too if they look okay ?
You don’t need them if they look alright! It is good to consider the factory donut gaskets that go on them can go back and will lead to exhaust leaks and poor turbo performance. They’re a cheap ford part to replace when you do it.
Ya I ended up just changing my up pipes to the bellowed ones it wasn’t that bad it came out great I put the kc300x stage 2 on mine with a ts 6 position chip so new turbo new up pipes and new down pipe to 4 inch to 5 inch than a stack put my bed
Did it all my self
Hi thanks for the videos
Great job
I want to ask something what are the mind OBS.
SORRY FOR MY IGNORANCE IIF YOU CAN PLESS TELL ME THANKS
Obs, stands for old box style. It's used for most chevy and ford's 80s and 90s
Old
Body
Style
In reference to Ford trucks it refers to 9th generation F Series 92-97.
Need an update video.
"is that 8 mil?" hahaha
Up pipes ?
Hard to find any solid reviews im looking at doing bellowed up pipes and thought about doing a kc balanced assembly while I was at it 95 auto with ts
Used the cheap swag up pipes. You have to trim the flange on the up pipes where they meet the baby’s butt. They’re about 1/4 inch too long but they’re nice.
Did he have a tuner on the truck at the point of this Turbo rebuild ?
Yes, Hydra chip with Jelibuilt tunes
Dude you have terrible taste in sunglasses
They’re awful
What size socket did you guys use for the stock compressor wheel?
I think it was a 13mm if I recall correctly?
Hello from montana , is Frank still running this setup ?
What’s up Montana! Yes, he is still running this set up.
@@The73Garage I have a 02 , that I need some upgrades for. I’m not quite ready for a t4 setup yet. Do you guys have any extra parts in the shop Or extra blocks laying around ?
Digging the glasses😂
Is that an otherwise stock truck?
Exhaust, hydra, 5 inch exhaust, DIY intake!
@@The73Garage I have a 95 obs that is stock except for Ttymar intake, exhaust, and Hydra with Tony Wildman tunes. Would a turbo upgrade make any noticeable difference without bigger injectors?
It’ll be more efficient for sure, you should see an increase in throttle response and a smoother power band.
@@The73Garage thank you so much. Love your channel!
@@sbag11 do you like your TW tunes?
Nothing from Kc turbos is worth purchasing.
Why do you say that?
@@Lost_Ham because it’s 100% Chinese parts . The 7.3 turbos sold by them arnt eve. Their turbos , they are manufactured by a company called supercell in China and sold to them for sale in the us . Keep buying Chinese junk from people who give no fucks about the industry or the end user . Plus there are 10 different better quality American made turbos available from other manufacturers at a better price , with a better warranty and same day shipping ..
Capitalism! I reckon the Americans need to figure out how to make a better product then the Chinese for lower prices and or quit selling the Chinese stuff from the USA. We all need to pull our boot straps up and toughen up
@@wilmingtonperformancediese230 Then what are the 10 other brands that are better?
That exhaust back pressure valve take that butterfly out. Then the rod slides right out and just pop in a freeze plug in the hole
Nice truck! I'm having 1 of those d'oh moments for not thinking of the board idea, so obvious! 😣 Last time I lay down on top of my radiator & have my hood latch eviscerate me!
Did you guys axe the idea of deleting the EBPV? I thought y'all had planned to gut it?
Yeah we actually decided against it for the time being, had a time crunch and wanted to get it running again, we do plan on it in the future with a potential EBPV delete turbo pedestal!
@@The73Garage even better, hopefully can get rid of a major source of those oil leaks in the valley. That's what I love about the T4 setup. No leaks & even if they show up later on, so easy to fix.
Cool video buddy! Dont forget nextime to fill the oil filter to avoid dry start up after oil change.
Loving that dually!
Can you do a video on how you and Frankie did your air filters, I want to do one like those on my 7.3 but all the videos I’ve seen show the cold air box ones. Keep up with the great videos and hopefully I get to meet you sometime at pbir or just driving around
its call a TYMAR cold air intake
As a owner of a 2001 7.3 with 250,000 miles on it and new injector's... I just don't understand some of this. Buy a Porsche or a performance car. It's a Diesel for gawds sake, not a friggin sports car. A 944S2 16 valve 3 liter FOUR cyl will do 150 and outrun most stock 8 cylinders, snd handles!! My gawd it handles! Plus.. if you like to spend money keeping it running...its car for you! Chuckle.
Everyone has their own taste. They like to build pickups with power
@@loganvanburen4349 yeah.. I guess so. JOKE: And some farmers like sheep. Chuckle. I understand because I have flown a 50 foot wingspan sailplane to 21,000+ feet with no engine, and a oxygen tank. Renegade stuff is fine I guess.
