Finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade big dirty a little bit so I'm not so tempted to try and buy a wrecked auction 6.7 truck lol My truck ( 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty with the legendary 7.3 Powerstroke turbo diesel ) has recently been down on power and in diagnosing my issues I kept being pointed towards upgrading my HPOP, I spoke with the guys at Full Force diesel and they helped me out on a Set of their most popular 7.3 injectors - Their Stg 1.5 180cc injectors with 30% over nozzles. Paired with the Dieselsite Adrenaline HPOP and the new custom Hydra tunes the truck runs great! I also installed new under valve cover wiring harnesses/ gaskets, bellowed up pipes, and a riff raff diesel Fuel rail crossover FCx kit!
I still have to upgrade my wastegate actuator to get the boost dialed back in, but even on a lower boost pressure, the truck feels strong!

Future reference, there’s a plug on the back of each head with a 3/8 square hole. Remove those prior to pulling the injectors and it’ll allow the oil to drain from the passages. Makes for lil to no oil running down into the pistons.
Jacob Miller it's a 1/2 hole. Also there are 2 drains on the oil rail under the valve cover 1/8 Allen and you don't make an oil mess on the back of the engine.
Doesn’t matter, put the new injectors in and leave the glow plugs out. Turn it over by hand a few times and you’re good.
Make sure it doesn’t turn on if u try turning it lol
There's two bolts right in the head you can open them up and it will empty outside oil
This man seriously can't have anything without improving and modding it.
Keep it up Trevor, I appreciate every video. Cheers from Sweden
These are the kind of movies that got me hooked on your channel.. Can watch these kind all day how are the 4x4 7.3 van and RV coming along
I have a 99 f250 crew 7.3l, n been a great truck with only 78k on it. Yet being a role paradog n retired field mechanic I don't enjoy allot of mechanic work. I had mice n red squirrels tear it up some, so war as been declared. 12 count at present, these aren't fox squirrels, their those little red squirrels up in northern Michigan. I hate killing critters, but I got too, the damage alone is well over 1k. Wife's truck had 6k damage from mice inside.
Wish you lived by me, cuz I'd let you fix it. Laugh. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it. Ty
You need a boost fooler for your truck. It will stop the truck from defueling when it builds a certain amount of boost. I have one on my 7.3. I can push 25 pounds of boost no problem and its stock turbo with just a tuner
you dont need boost foolers anymore unless he had a crappy tuner that didnt know how to write it out of the tune
Dylan Duncan hahahaha unplugging the wastegate will build even more boost 😂 a boost fooler stops the truck from de fueling when the computer sees too much boost (usually around 20psi) it cuts the fuel... unplugging the waste gate would not stop the truck from de fuelling from over boost codes haha it would only make the problem worse
Or like I said before, good tunes will not need a boost fooler because they write that over boost code out of the ecm
Diesel content was how I found your channel and the reason I subscribed... nice to see it coming back again! 👍👍
Pull the line off the wastegate and see if make boost then. If not you have a damaged turbo or leaking air somewhere. Don’t leave the wastegate unplugged. Prob just need to adjust the wastegate because the anti-surge housing might be a different length for the waste-gate. You could get the banks big-head or similar if you can’t get it adjusted right. Cheers
After you get your boost issues sorted, check your trans fluid pressure. There are three fluid feed bolts (not sure if that's the correct name) under the valve body that a prone to coming loose.
S14, been following this guy for awhile now, sick schassis, love the 7.3 got a 02 dually, drifting is life lol
took me about a week to fully clear my system after doing Orings on my injectors. If you end up getting a 6.7 please keep that 7.3! you know you'll regret selling it haha cheers brother
HPOP Head crossover is definitely a good longevity & performance investment with what you have going. In steps, I'd go with that first. Then throw that GTP38R turbo on. Make sure you get it with a Riff raff Diesel boost regulator. This will allow the turbo to spool into the mid-30 PSI range without the ECM defueling the engine (factory boost regulator defuels at approximately 23 PSI) and as long as you drive it easy your trans should last long enough to have it rebuilt for performance. With the trans you'll want Raybestos Z-Pak clutches (good) or RacerX clutches (best) a billet torque converter (if you can afford triple disk, you'll thank yourself later but not an end all be all), TransGo Tugger shift kit or the even greater John Wood valve body kit. Billet shafts are always cool but it won't kill you to stick with the stock steels if it's not in your budget to drop $6k on trans parts.
Word of advice, delete your EBPV, mine is deleted, and I just did the delete in a 99 7.3 and it helps a lot. The kit I go with comes with new pedestal, valve delete on the back of the turbo right before the exhaust, up pipes gaskets and hardware but you’ll also need new 3” plenum inlets and couplers off the intake manifold
Also it’s very cheap to do
good to see big dirty running strong and sounding reliable again.
setting for turbos, don't forget to install the turbo timers and set it at 30 seconds to cools down the engine.. It is important for a ll diesel cars and its safe to cared for the turbos for not broke at any cause.
リバイアライアン that's not a big deal anymore like it used to be. Plus diesels run a lot cooler than gas engines anyways.
Needs a Stage 2 KC300X droo in .84AN.
Plus new intake manifold and 3" plenums not to mention 4" straight pipe exhaust into duals
Sounding healthy. Time for the turbo and trans build. 👍👍👍👍👍
The single shots give it a little more engine chatter over the split shots
You don't have to change a turbo look up the boat 7.3 big boost change the impeller over to a wicked wheel makes a big difference
my late 99 7.3 ran 33psi with stock sticks and charger with tunes. you definitely need to do some work in the turbo area.
Wicked wheel is worth it I did same mods on my 01. Pre wicked wheel was 15psi post wicked was 26-28 before defuel. Wakes it up a bunch well worth the trouble and the 80$ to have it balanced. Good vid. Coming from western co
I would check out the whicked wheel it adds up to 10-15 psi on the stock turbo and makes a good sound not including spooling is quick
If you end up getting a new turbo I highly suggest the AFE bladerunner gt turbo. I just put it on my truck about four months ago and the power difference is astonishing to say the least.
You want a lot more in cab whistle pull that foil off that turbo pipe....make it way louder. Did it to mine...plus love the new 38R I put in mine
Instead of putting a new turbo on it try adjusting the wastegate actuator I believe yours is a newer then the one I worked on but the 2001 I worked on had two little spots that you had to drill out on the actuator rod and then you would be able to twist it in adjust it.
if your going to upgrade the turbo go with the irate diesel t4 turbo kit
Get a new wastegate actuator and a bigger compressor wheel to match the ported housing. (riffraff diesel has a compressor wheel for the ported housing).
Love it, I love my 6.7L but a part of me wishes I had a 7.3L so that I could afford and want to mod it.
had a 4r100 in a 5.4 expedition with a sterling rear end. that expy made it to 400k with no major drivetrain issues
I really wish he would do a movie on how to wire a 1jzgte/2jz into any chassis. I'm sure he would be helping his subscribers.
Ether in a diesel especially a 7.3 will crack pistons try to use brake cleaner if you use anything
Break clean is safe noooooo ether that will fuck shit up
Powerstrokerify wd40 works best it has oil in it.
WD40 is best if you need it, you honestly should never need to use anything to help start a 7.3
I noticed when you turned in the engine over after putting the injectors and you have loss Of compression in one of your cylinders
Yeah... the glow plugs are removed. Pretty big feckin hole.
Your fluctuating boost problem is a oiled up waste gate actuator and old waste gate.
A new ECM relay goes a long way.
Huh I had a similar setup on my 99 and I was pushing 32 lbs of boost might wanna check for leaks.
If you like the diesel train sound change to an after market intake. It sound great.
Should have done the ebp delete with the deleted turbo ped. Also with stock turbo and wheel I get 22 psi sounds like you have a leak somewhere
those boys over at HG are going thru desiels like hot cakes. But Trevor keeping ol durty alive and kickin. much more respectable.
I don't really know a lot about cars/trucks but i thought that diesel engines don't need spark plugs because they use the heat of the engine to ignite the fuel.
Get a boost fooler and banks big head wastgate. My 02 7.3 makes 29lbs of boost on stock turbo
What if you put an even bigger exhaust on Big Dirty? Raise boost and help with wastegate flow possibly?
I kinda hope you just build Big Dirty instead of buying a new truck but I know there comes a point..
You should invest in a laser pointer to help us see what you are talking about. Most the time it isn’t an issue but it may add a little more visual aid to the videos. Love the channel
Holy hell new injectors new hpop new tune and up pipes that’s big 💴💴
If you want to build more boost disconnect the vacuum line going onto the waste gate
Someone already asked,but I couldn't find a response. What kinda front bumper is that? I love it!
Take that insulation off the Inlet inner cooler pipe. You’ll hear more turbo whistle
U should take the front clip off a 2011 f250 and put it on this truck and put a 2011 dash in it ive seen it done alot of times
Future reference there is two plugs on top that you open that opens the valley to keep the oil from going inside
adam waugh has
Watching this video wants me to put a big turbo in my 2006 Duramax probably Bigger injectors, intercooler pipes. But I need to get my ls swapped s13 done ✅ keep the vids up trev
Full Force are good people
you did a good job explaining what you were doing. thanks.
More 7.3 content! Perhaps swapping out the interior with 2016 leather seats? Love watching your videos, great edits as well. More content + more subs = $$$
That would be a great video
Tune the Saab give it some performance upgrades and maybe a griffin logo on the side door
I'm running 30 pounds of boost with stock turbo with the XDP Xwheel. My waste gate is also stock.
How are you liking that XDP wheel?
A 6.0 trans cooler should be next on your mod list.
Brian's Truck Shop (BTS in AR) transmission. You won't regret spending the money on it.
What little flash light did you have there? Looked nice and bright but was small and easy to use.
Up pipes are a PITA , I just finished doing them on my 02 7.3
Ok first off you need a 6.0 trans cooler or swap to zf6 manual then get a kc38r turbo and a boost fooler diesel site or riff raff makes good ones then do a idm mod all this stuff can be had from cnc fabrication its in defiance ohio also do the fuel plugs on the head then probably a regulated return
Worked on the internationals with the 7.3 and the early trucks and honestly I worked on them less back then than after ther computer stuff and revamp. Now I get them pretty regular. Guess it's job security. Lol
Can you tell me if the inj helped or hindered your fuel millage. Any more 7.3 content in the future, keep up the good work!
High Pressure oil crossover tube is a good idea. their is a small crossover port in the pump but a larger hose/tube near the rear is a good way to equalize your ICP between the heads. also may want to look into those IDM Codes the early IDM's where 110v the later where 120v and swamps makes a 140v. that voltage is what activates/opens your injectors. unfortunately their is no easy way to test the outout voltage without a scope, but you can back probe the input with a multimeter and make sure engine running it is getting battery voltage. may have corrosion in the feed wire or a arced up relay causing resistance/voltage drop. ford/navistar addressed this in the 6.0l and you can monitor input and oputput voltages with a scan tool but no luck for the 7.3 crowd.
also may want to check your Exhaust back pressure/EBP, Boost/MAP , and Barometric pressure/BARO Readings KOEO and make sure they all correlate as well as seeing what they look like KOER. the EBP Tubes are known clog with soot as well as Rust out/Break. may explain your boost issues
how old are your ICP and Crank Sensors. unplug the ICP and check for oil in the connector they are known to bypass internally and cause issues. the Crank sensors are known to go out and cause no start/long crank as well as idle/decel issues. its a fairly cheap sensor and easy to swap out.
John Tall knows what hes talking about!!
Turbomaster mechanical wastegate is my favorite for 7.3s
@MotionAutoTv
So what your saying about the 7.3 is that there is not necessarily a problem with the power... it's just lacking the creature comforts you want... because quite frankly you can get ALOT of power out of them... TRUTH.
Yeah lol, since the injectors it pulls the enclosed trailer so much better. Its just loud haha
MotionAutoTv what fuel mileage yah get pulling your trailer. I drove 1400 miles with my 99 7.3 from Colorado to Florida and got 11-12mpg towing about 6k with my enclosed trailer. Truck is stock with just a 6637 intake
MotionAutoTv I have a 1997 7.3 and I put Dynamat in the entire cab and it’s so much quieter, might want to invest in doing it to yours.
For future reference it is dangerous to bump the engine over like that when changing injectors, it's better then turn it over by hand at the crank with a wrench. Never use ether it'll kill a 7.3. And lastly with all the upgrades you may want to look into a NAPA 6637 Intake.
It’s fine to crank it over like that when changing injectors. I know many diesel mechanics that have done it that way forever. A Napa filter will give you more clean HOT air, do a proper cold air intake the first time around.
Chickened out on the turbo wheel
Tell me about the problems with the e4od. Just having ur third brake light can make it start shifting hard
Double shot injectors are to quiet the 7.3 down. The single shots will sound more like a service truck and less like a super duty but who cares big rigs rule. I do prefer a 5+5 wicked wheel 2 myself they scream like a jet engine, which I love personally.
Man dude I envy your mechanical abilities. I also don't know how you have so much damn energy to do all these projects!
you commented that it was not running right and had bank not operating.... what was the fix there?
One Thing i also noticed is that trevor doesn't say bad language which was my suggestion
Please make all videos at least this long....haven't even gotten 5 minutes through yet, but also I love the pov shots of you working ok cars/trucks....so keep em as long as possible! Lol
What front bumper is that? Looks great on the truck🤙
difference between motionautotv and haggard garage motion auto actually keeps their 7.3s running
has 30 watt monster underhood light, still mouths a mini flash light, glad you swapped to a headlamp afterwards; save your teeth and jaws the strain. Seriously considering a Diesel 6mt for my pulp/tow truck.
Apparently you’ve never worked on a truck, we all do it at one point or another
What happened to that new truck he showed us about 2 months ago? You know when he said he needed it for the baby, etc...
Awesome vid. Big fan of the 7.3. Truck looks and sounds nice.
Anyone recognize the Salt City Euros intro song @11:54 ?
A 240 and a 7.3. 👍🏾
How are you so knowledgeable about all types of cars/trucks Trevor
You have a boost leak or the gauge is off I made 23 psi boost on the stock turbo with stock injectors
Gotta love how Stoked Dave is about it rolling coal haha
hey bud how much money you spend on the new of updates $
and always in some cases is alot more safe we desconect the battery or the negative cable just saying
stay away from the 6.4 please the 6.7 is a challenge to work on and its too new before we know fords engineered failing points stick with big dirty and just upgrade the interior to the 6.0
shithawks or just get a cummins swapped 6.4 2008-2010 f250
Dodge 318 Cummins I wouldn't get a f-250. Their front ends aren't solid.
now that would be smart
The 6.7 has been on the market for 9 years now. It's a solid engine. Just like when the 7.3 became the SuperDuty, people had to figure out a whole new engine because it was a big departure from the IDI motor that preceded it. The more you read about them, ask questions etc, it's just another V8 diesel.
Samuel Buckley only 7 but whos counting
1. Never ever ever spray ether in a diesel. Use breakleen.
2. Get a new down pipe. When you pull it out youll see why its very restrictive.
3. Keep the stock turbo but change the compressor wheel.
4. Upgrade your trans cooler.
5. You dont need to bleed the high pressure oil. If you mess up that 2500+ psi wont be nice to you.
Oh you deffently have a boost leak
Did you have to change to the hydra chip or can u keep using the 6position chip?
Like an old pissed off freight train firing up! Weird that the boost didn't go up with the bigger tune. Even though mines totally different being a LBZ Duramax with VVT mine is 23psi stock but when I turn it up to my race tune it hits 34psi. So could be your waste gate actuator is getting tired. Great video! Glad to see Big Dirty isn't going anywhere anytime soon😎
WOO! I've been looking forward to the next video all weekend!
please turn that boost up! 7.3's hold 35 pounds with absolute no problems.
Be ready to rebuild your transmission all Billet especially if you have all the parts hooked up correctly and you have everything inside there like a twin intercooler trans command Billet torque converter yada yada, then you will see the difference 35Lbs Boost, Full Force might of help you cause of me lol!!
Your hpop pressure should be around 2800 psi that's a healthier pump.
Gotta love the 7.3
Love the channel. Has anyone ever suggested to not walk around with the camera when your talking
Wow your almost at 500 k subs! I remember your channel when you only had 5-6k subs!
Where did you get the new front bumper assembly I have the same truck
The 7.3 will only build up to 25psi and if you build more than that it will throw a over boost code and start cutting fuel
a good tuner should have written that out of the ecm, no need for boost foolers these days
I've always heard you should do the 6637 air filter upgrade since the stick air box is a joke on those things.
It lets more clean air in for sure but then you’re sucking hot air in too. Get a cold air kit if you want to do it right.
Think if you would have bought the single shots from swamps you can just mail them your sct tuner and they will install all your new tunes.
I ordered the same injectors, chip, glow pugs and injector cup. My pcm wont connect i hope i don't have to buy one any help?
Knowing you have to change the timing for the injectors to shoot different, is there a tune specifically for that With the hydra tune?
Walk Neztsosie You receive tunes when your order your injectors from Full Force. You can also have custom tunes emailed to you from custom tuners like 1023 Jelibuilt and SDK.
and then you load them onto the hydra chip. Ready to roll!
@Jensen LeBlanc
Thanks man!
Honestly man, i dont think you should go to a newer diesel... whats the point of buying that shit when it get the same mpg and cost twice as much to fix. If i were you, if stick with the 7.3. She's been treating you right so far! Best of luck!
Would you paint your car midnight blue?
