Great video! I’m in the process of rebuilding the turbo and needed some guidance, thanks for such a great explanation! Only question I have is on most forums it says to balance the turbo after rebuild, is that something I should do?
Got a drinking game… drink every time he says “go ahead” 😂😂 not being a jerk, just a joke! Great video thank you for the good video and information, it was very helpful
I'm considering a 240k mile obs with a 7.3. I would almost immediately rebuild the turbo and do a ton of maintenance then get an exhaust and tuner. Not looking to make a ton of power just a clean daily driver that makes cool sounds like my race car.
It seems like that truck would last my lifetime under my care. I'm not interested in anything newer than the early 2000s. I was a Toyota dealer tech for years I wish they had Diesel could've used the training 😂
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 had the Gtp38r before it started leaking internally. I loved the whistle and performance with the .84ar on my zf6. I upgraded to the KC 38r center section replacement and now she don't whistle half as much and I'm really disappointed with the slower spool up as well. I measured both turbine wheels and compressor wheels and the kc is 4mm highr than Garrett on both wheels so I guess that's why it a lot quieter. I do have a spare kc300x 63/73 turbo but that thing was way to laggy to for the 6 speed. Anyone with a manual 7.3 should do this gtp38r upgrade from your stock tp38 but use the stock .84ar housing get a boost fooler and close of wastegate and I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
Go ahead and put anti seize on your bolts. These bolts require 15ft lbs. about 50 cranks on the gun on the nuts. P funny. Overall Helpful video thank you!
Pretty sure u should be using a seal on the compressor housing. They're customer service reply in Amazon says your supposed to. Idk why they don't include one that's the correct size. Did you ever do a follow up on this video. I installed this kit and absolutely regretted it. My stock turbo did better maintain egts and spooled alot faster.
Some kits/manufacturers use a seal on the compressor housing. Also you have to remember, your increasing mass of the turbo. It’s going to take tad bit more to light, also could be tuning issue as well. Obviously if your running stock tuning. This won’t be a help at all to you. This kit doesn’t use a compressor housing o ring. It seals itself against the backing plate. I’ll do a follow up video this week, life has been very busy lol. I have no problems pulling 3 Tons behind my truck with EGTS in check
@B58 Even lower EGTS. More air on the top end, yes even longer spool time but my trucks so light and I’m on stock fuel still. So turbo still lights pretty well
@@PowerstrokeBoiz I did more research... Been around turbos for years.. but those were gas engine with much higher rpm ranges.. Diesels have a much lower rpm range where balancing may not be a detrimental... Going to watch you 6.0 torque converter video.. I have a 97 E350 with a E4OD.. I plan on wiring in a lock up switch.. the 6.0 have a more robust friction material Thank you...
@PowerstrokeBoiz im on my first one. A 99.7.3 But it was later own in life when i got it. But i have always been one one of those who was to poor to buy new. So i got pretty good at rebuilding things.
Best turbo rebuild vid, no bullshit quick without over explanation.
🙏 Much appreciated! I can’t stand not getting straight to the point

That’s one of those type of statements, Synthetic vs. Conventional oils 😂…..I’ve never balanced any that I’ve built
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation I’m about done with the rebuild.

Have you used the spoologic billet kit or seen one? The price is amazing.

Slap it on and drive !
Thanks for the great vid. Is the compressor side 88mm
Yep!
66-88

This impact only does 25ft FYI…
Have you done one for a 94 95 96
I haven’t!

You’re suppose to use a oring this man messed up metal doesn’t seal against metal
Is there a difference from the wastegate you used and the billet they offer?
Price point 😅😂
@B58 correct! I hit 35 PSI on the 120 Race Tune in mine
@B58 The video says alll! 😎
@B58 I’ll be upgrading to a 1.15 housing next time I pull her off 😏

Neat video, but what gets me is that no one ever has issues, why is that?
My videos are to the point to the T, and also Factory upgraded parts are usually more reliable, and affordable that a T4 Kit, or KC turbo lol
@@PowerstrokeBoiz thanks for your input and knowledge!
Did you balance the turbo?
Nope

7.3 turbos are component balanced, no need to balance as a unit.
Can you send a link where you got the kit from?
Check description
@@PowerstrokeBoiz not working
@@7.3clan41 Copy and paste it into google, or just eBay search rebuild kot
@@PowerstrokeBoiz I only need the fingers and the elbow, not the wheel and turbine.
@@7.3clan41 you have to buy a whole kit,
Did you notice gains from this?
OH YES. irrelevant question lol
Where was the list?
Check video description
Next video for after?
Will have a video recorded tomorrow. Going to go to the track if it stops raining for some footage!
Video is up now!
I imagine you could have just used a 1/4 inch socket
1/4 6 point wouldn’t work. 8mm 12 point
@@PowerstrokeBoizlol pretty sure he meant 1/4 drive 8mm 12p socket 😅
They are easy to rebuild. Never understand why folks freak when thier turbo goes out or is going out
Well…remember when YOU started driving your first diesel & didn’t have the know how to fix it? Case closed lol

@@rickeydriskill1096 Me and you both. Why you think I created this channel, to promote people who can’t afford to fix easy things
16mm ? mine compressor wheel nut is 18mm .
They’re all different
