- Installed a GTP38R turbo today, here is my honest review based on my day one experience!
Truck- 02 F-250 7.3 Power stroke Diesel
Mods:
Napa filter
Diamond Eye 4” down-pipe straight exhaust
T-500 Hpop
PHP Hydra tunes
Riffraff HPX
Riffraff FRX
Ford-7.3-Turbo-Garrett-GTP38R-power stroke-diesel
Beautiful mountains. Is that CO?
Good ol Ford trucks with sloppy boxes. Gotta keep you from falling asleep. I like straight line steering from San Jose CA for rebuilt boxes
JUST PUT MINE IN 1 MONTH AGO, ITS EXPENSIVE , ITS VERY LOUD AND A ANNOYANCE, VERY EASY INSTALL, MADE MY EGT GO UP 150 TO 200 DEGREE'S PULLING COMPARED TO STOCK SO NOW IM CONCERNED WITH A MOTOR WITH 500 K IT WILL SHORTEN ITS LIFE OR CAUSE PREMATURE SERVICE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER EGTS PULLING
allyn bubolz I wonder why your EGTs went up? That’s one of the main benefits I saw on mine, egts went way down compared to stock. Do you have upgraded injectors? What’s your mods?
FUEL TANK SUMP TO HIGH PRESSURE DOG UPLIFT FUEL BOWL SPRING 70 PSI BANKS AIR SYSTEM BANKS BIG MOUTH WITH 4 INCH EXHAUST CONVERTER REMOVED NEW CONNECTORS FOR ALL TURBO RELATED TUBES UPGRADED UP PIPES ALL CONNECTIONS TIGHT REG INJECTORS JUMPED THE TUNE TO 75 HP STG TUNER / OD AT ALMOST 500 K THINKING ABOUT NEW INJECTORS EVEN THOUGH THEY PASS ALL TESTING PARAMETERS, EMAILED TODAY RUDY'S DIESEL TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY INPUT ALSO @@jaysejones4056
THAT WAS SICK
U should really upgrade your injectors and upgrade your tunes sounds like u have most of the other basics covered
RADIO?! WHO NEEDS A RADIO, READY GARRET?
Yeah Pretty much. I will say though since upgrading trucks camping trips are much more..... Peaceful! lol Exhaust and turbo whistle are fun around town but Load up the wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a four hour drive and it will take it out of you.
Sounds good 👍
I'm seeing so many videos of where I live it's weird. I'm like 5 min from daybreak. I dug a lot of the water and sewer Up there. Everything on the island.
U got alot of the same mods and stock parts i have , I'm enjoying the 38r
After a little Time I did fall in love with it. I am realizing I never made a follow up video I will do that tomorrow. I have the HPX kit which connects the oil on the heads. I think because had to remove that line to install the turbo I introduced some Air into the heads effecting my performance. After a few days the truck ran great!
Bigger sticks and proper tuning to get more out of it
Truck Is sold about 2 years ago, But I keep looking back at another one. I've got the mod list already burning a hole in my pocket lol
Whenever I bought mine I got lucky and they thought they handed me a reman stock turbo but they gave me it instead for stock price
Great view of the front range. I would like to pick your brain 😂
Pick Away
@@jaysejones4056 after all this time and under a load how much would you recommend it
Did you have it balanced after you rebuilt it?
Nvm just finished listening lol
@@markwalters4643 NO I did not! Big Mistake! Cost me $1,500! Do it Right the first time lesson learned.
Did you get your truck tuned when you put in this turbo? What size injectors do you have?
Your not gonna see any gainz without tuning and larger injectors
I called my tuner PHP and they said that there are no specific tuning changes required with the turbo. I was on stock sticks.
How did you turn up the boost up I can't get more than 14 psi
Built for The Wild This turbo tends to run at lower boost levels than stock. That being said I can get the turbo to 26 PSI if I lay into it. Maybe check for boost leaks and make sure your waste gate is operating correctly and not letting off early.
I read reviews from riffraff saying you have to adjust the wastegate actuator to get more boost
Is your trans stock?
Yes It has the stock transmission. It was rebuilt at 100K with the ford heavy duty trans. No slippage or issues whats so ever. I will say I baby the truck pretty well and almost never hot rod.
👍🏽
