Your engine bay looks awesome! After seeing the powder coating done , it should make a whole lot more people want to do it
Hell yah that thing looks great!! Gotta love the 7.3
Looks great under the hood! Clearly a lot of thought and effort went into the setup.
uh... wut? bare wires everywhere, relays TAPED to the viewbox of the air intake... this is NOT a clean install...
HACKED comes to mind
Wow, your engine compartment looks amazing. You're an inspiration to me my friend.
I really appreciate it!
Getting ready to upgrade my dash lites and maybe a the radio with new backup camera, thanks much for the videos you have done on these items. I certainly will go into that project with more confidence due to your trailblazing. New turbo sounds and looks great.
Much appreciated man!
NICE! Runs well, and looks GREAT with the red powder coat!
Good morning, my name is Braulio Ventura, I am a gasoline mechanic and I like diesel better since I have barium truck 7.3 and I am learning mechanics on your channel. I like your work and dedication and cleanliness. There is no oil spilled in the engine. You are a genius of 7.3 god bless you
She looks fantastic! Great job man
Look great especially red. Nice work. I own a 02 quad cab lariat. I bought new, both my kids drive it it was my daily driver till 08. Now my daughter is obsessed with it. She toes her horses & daily drives it , time for it aka princess to get upgrades. Had a chip /air intake & 4”turbo back exhaust . Nice truck !
Excellent job,looks great bud.
Thanks brother, watched the video for the 3rd time and heard what you said about the ccv mod.
Looks awesome! Good job! I heard you say PNW in a different video, I also live in PNW. That sound is sweet! Great job! I can’t wait to upgrade mine.
You heard correctly. I am a little ways south of Portland.
And it really is a glorious sound!
Look at you being all courteous on the race track... moving over for other people...
it looks good you guys did a great job
Merica!!! I got some rolling pulls from 10 and from 50-70 in 5th and 6th gear, can’t wait to see new numbers with few new mods
I forgot, I still need to do those tests haha
Looks great and sounds great!
Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing some towing videos, maybe pulling a heavy trailer over the mountain.
Would definitely be a good test!
It Came out gorgeous. 👍 big difference keep it up.
Looks awome and nice work I mounted the ccv catch can in the back of the s and b filter but depending on the year model you may have a fuse box behind it, also am glad to hear you where going to run it back into the intake I've herd of a lot of issues venting it to the atmosphere since it no longer has the negative pressure in the system.
I heard people with issues too, but I think that is mainly from people using undersized hose or poorly routed hose. International ran all their 7.3s vented to the atmosphere. Thats how they were designed. I will still probably catch can it at some point to get rid of the smell.
@@LivingOnWheels yea true but I have also heard a lot of people who vent them to the atmosphere and have issues with oil leaks in valvue cover gaskets and the turbo seals for some reason but when they re connect the ccv it goes back to normal. Idk it's your truck if you dont have issues running it that way then power to you, you have nice videos and love watching the channel keep up the great work.
Looked good on the color ,good video
Ahh the old 2×4 my favorite lil helper..
haha per Riff Raffs instructions
Man, your truck looks steller. No doubt better than mine, but I have also put a lot of work into my 1999 7.3, and I am in love with the truck. The pride of ownership with my F250 is sky high. I own a lawn business, so I have owned many newer and other older trucks, but my 7.3 F250 takes the cake for my undoubtedly favorite truck. My supposed to be "daily" is a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder, but I find myself only driving that a few times a month. When it comes time to grab the keys, the F250 keys are like magnets to my fingers. My wife is like, are we taking the Nissan, and I'm like, I'm trying, but I can only reach the truck keys. They are usually right next to each other. :)
Thanks for all the information that you are sharing
Hardest part for me is getting the up pipe vband clamp back on the turbo. Great video
Yeah, everything involving that back flange is a pain haha.
Wow you did a great job man thank you for doing the video
Much appreciated! It has been performing great!
Your engine bay looks awesome! Glad you had the turbo & pipes power coated. Catch can will be a nice addition. And the cold startup is like sweet music!
You have to feel awesome driving around. Thanks for sharing your build process with us!
Its always fun driving around in something that you've put so much work into.
@@LivingOnWheels Agreed. The pride of ownership with this truck is to the moon!
Some options for your old CCV intake manifold section: 1.) I plugged mine same way you did but I also cut the ear out of it to help reduce turbulence and airflow resistance. 2.) best way to go (and what I'm about to do since my intake is currently removed) is grab a piece of 4"o.d. stainless and cut it to the same length as your plastic piece and get a hanger to mount to your valve cover bracket. Removes the hump in the bottom and provides a symmetrical passageway to your compressor wheel while sealing the intake system in a more permanent manner. Definitely taking notes from your videos though and damn that's a good looking 7.3! One of these days I'll catch up to all the upgrades you've got on your rig.
Sounds like you have a pretty good plan. I do still think I’m going to run it through a catch can and back to the intake. We’ll see though.
@@LivingOnWheels see if I was paying attention I would've remembered that part lol. Interested to see what the final setup will be.
Love 7.3 i got one its its awesome
Looks good. My 7.3 needs a face lift like that👍
Looks amazing for sure! GREAT JOB, keep them outstanding videos coming.
Looks great man !
Nice work, I noticed your fuel pressure goes way to low, swap the factory pump for a walbro 392. You can damage injectors running low pressure
Preciate the suggestion. I am actually not even running my factory pump anymore. It’s all through and Airdog 165 and CNC 4 line kit. I actually didn’t even notice it dropped all the way down to 52. For normal driving this setup works pretty darn good. We’ll see though, I have lots of ideas in my head.
Thanks for more input..
Im a neat freak myself, every time I work on my excursion I spend hours just cleaning or detailing the heck out of it. Not as clean as yours... YET, but I'm getting there
A clean engine bay makes life so much nicer when working in it!
Looks amazing
nice work. I am interested in understanding all of the modifications / upgrades that you have done to your engine. I don't seem to be able to find out all of the things that you have done, but it appears that the videos that you have produced are piecemealed and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them (that is, no 'history' of the changes). Am I missing something here?
Nice job!
Great content and awesome truck. I am installing the same setup with the KC turbo and the S and B cold air intake. How did you connect those two together? Looks like you used the stock elbow as a connector?
Yup. I used the stock CCV plastic coupler to connect mine. Its all a very tight fit but doable.
Very, Very, nice Build.
Thank you
Looking good 👌👌👌👌
AWESOME!
Now all you need is unlimited 250/80 sticks and really make some torque
Eh gads! I'm so far behind...
Anyway looks amazing. Have you actually said what color powder you used? Looks like a cherry of some flavor.
I was really looking forward to the catch can setup. I'm thinking I'll do that next time I have the IC pipes off. Maybe if I change my AIS for an S&B. Unfortunately the AIS just isn't cutting it for my injectors.
Powder coat is Illusion Cherry 👍🏻 hopefully get the catch can done at some point in the near future.
Nice man @living on wheels where is your video on how to install injectors? I'm not seeing it
Video quality wasn’t quite as good back in the day but here it is.
ua-cam.com/video/TYTtQee3_u0/v-deo.html
I just installed the KC300 turbo and my truck makes gobs of power now. While I was at it I installed the riffraff diesel CCV re-route mod. What is your take on this mod? I just viewed a UA-cam that basically said that this is a very bad thing to do. I did the riffraff billet intakes . Also many cuodos for the great video on injector replacement. I did the job with 130 cc 30% single stage reman injectors.
David Wernecke nice man! I love my KC300. As for the CCV there are a lot of people on both sides of the fence. My opinion on it is this. International designed these engines to be vented to the atmosphere and they ran it on all of their trucks that way. As long as you do it properly I see no reason to not to vent to the atmosphere.
I am rewatching this install video specifically to watch the STRUGGLE AND PAIN you guys are going through doing this. I just did this on my truck with the same 63/68. And I have to say that up pipe collector install to the back of the turbo was the worst automotive job I have ever done..
Yeah…. That is miserable to get lined up.
Yeah especially if your doing it by yourself. You hear people saying it wasn't so bad, but almost every one doesn't film the whole process. Especially if you change the up pipes and need to get them realigned with where the Turbo has to be. You can't see what's going on from the front another set of eyes and possibly a hand would have done wonders.
No struggle and pain involved, all love of your truck.
That has to be the worst, took me hours, but I used a garret gtp38r which is a 68/88 ball bearing turbo
Awesome
I am going back and forth on the pusher intake, do remember if it helped with response and to lower egt's. I know it's been a while .
Because I installed this at the same time as the turbo I cant really say. It's a quality made part though. Thats for sure.
@@LivingOnWheels thank you. Dig the Cummins working your doing, I still have my 7.3
That looks great! My turbo arrives tomorrow. How did you adjust the waste gate to 30 psi? I know you have a video where you adjusted the stock one, so I assume its the same procedure?
Yup. I used the same process and got it pretty accurate.
@@LivingOnWheels Awesome thank you! Keep up the great work!
It looks great! Does it seem to help with daily driving? I just bought the edge tuner, intake and exhaust and love them. I noticed my ICP pressure is around high 400's to 500's at idle and fluctuates 30 psi or so while yours was staying pretty steady and above 500. Truck runs smooth but I'm thinking of replacing the IPR valve and sensor. Any thoughts?
It does help with daily drivability. It not a crazy difference by any means but it is noticeable. I think at warm idle it should be around 500-600. How old is your HPOP?
@@LivingOnWheels I think it's the stock one from 2001 with 261k miles. I just bought the truck a few months ago and caught the 7.3 bug. Lol. I really enjoy the channel. Keep it up!
Looks killer, question, do you have a video on your ccv mod? Cannot find it if you do. Thanks
I do not. I did the mod at the same time of this install.
How much horsepower increase did you get after replacing the stock turbo with a stage 1 turbo ?
Badass man
Do your research on the crank case vent .. bill Hewitt and many other people say its a bad idea.. just because riffraft sells it dosnt mean its a positive gain.. I've seen people say it causes starvation of oil in the turbo and increases pressure in the crank case housing causing turbo seals to blow.. maybe im wrong maybe its just stock turbos.. just stating what I've read
International designed these engines to be vented to the atmosphere. That is how they ran it in all their T444E trucks. People run into pressure issues because they either use to small of a vent tube or don’t have proper routing. Also, the turbos are not oiled from the oil vapors in the intake. They have a full constant supply of oil running through their center housings.
You changed your up pipes?
Would love to hear a couple drive bys with the new set up
Lucky for you, I am planning on doing a whole video on this!
Sweet!!! I love good quality 7.3 audio. That whistle you have at idle is freaking sweet man. Im very much looking forward to the next video!
Lyndon Vires I love that little startup whistle!! And yes there is definitely not enough quality audio videos of 7.3s out there.
@@LivingOnWheels yeah sadly most guys either have low quality audio recording, or they put their mic so close that you just get wind noise. Then when most attempt to do a drive by i am almost convinced they wait until they have a tornado rolling through 🤣🤣
yeah. Lots of crappy cell phone videos out there. The exterior driving video will be tough but I have some ideas.
yada yada the weather skipped to 21:45 I wanna hear it lol, sounds good : )
Haha I plan on doing a full sound demonstration here pretty soon!
@@LivingOnWheels This weather we've been having does have to go lol, the last four months it's been getting dark at night and somewhat less dark during the day. Yeah that sound haha, It's like my electric guitars always searching for that perfect god tone, I want mine to sound more even firing like yours : )
SnakeRiverFishing I feel yeah man it’s been rain here almost every day for the past 3 months and probably will be for another 2. It funny you say that too cause I feel like mine should be more even during 😂
@@LivingOnWheels actually sound almost identical my idle or hold a lower rpm sounds sorta like a small block chev with a 3/4 race cam loping but it has instant , snappy throttle response with what I will call ample power, I have the 5 speed it hauls / tows whatever and stays cool doing it, starts right up on her own below zero so I'm keepin her lol it really is one hell of an engine, did you do the injector cups too ?
Good looking truck sir. I saw your fuel pressure read out on your Edge monitor. Is that coming off you fuel bowl? I just bought a 2001 F-250 super duty with the 7.3. I just ordered the Edge CTS2 and want fuel pressure. I know these trucks have problems with the pick up tube in the fuel tank and also with those little filters plugging up. Can you get a sensor from Edge for that? Thanks
I actually dont have a fuel bowl anymore. I run my sensor of my CNC Fab distribution block in place of the bowl. To answer your question though, yes you can get a sensor from Edge to monitor the fuel pressure. Its the same sensor as their 0-100 psi air pressure sensor. Their are two ports on the back of your fuel bowl to read pressure from. One pre filter and one post filter.
Living On Wheels Thank You sir. I enjoy your videos. Keep em coming. I had a 6.9l for years and this is my first 7.3. I hope I don't go to the poor house owning it. lol
I hate to ask what might be a sensitive question... but you're standing upright in the montage portions?
You’re all good. I Broke my neck when I was younger. I have been blessed with a decent amount of recovery and because of that, I have the ability to “stand” for very short periods of time but still fight with heavy paralysis.
You wouldn't happen to know if some slight modification would be needed to the pusher intake with the riff raff billet plenums? If so please inform.
Honestly not sure. Their billet plenums are supposed to fit like stock so they shouldn’t have any issues
@@LivingOnWheels ok good I didn't see their dimensions so I didn't know if they would be slightly higher than stock plenums. Kind of like your pusher intake did with the inserts. Btw thanks to your videos im putting atleast 15k into my 2000 7.3 most of which is copying off of you and what you did with yours with some slight differences. But thank you for the help.
Looks great. What did you gain in horse power?
I couldn’t tell you the hp numbers but it did a great job controlling EGTs while towing.
Looks nice, did I notice stock up pipes? and why are guys doing a CCV mod is beyond me, just looking for trouble. International designed it that way.
You did notice stock up pipes. Surprisingly stock up pipes that are still super tight with no leaks.
.
I could be wrong but I believe international actually ran some t444e engine applications with atmospheric venting. Ford's 7.3s needed to be vented back into the intakes for emissions purposes. Most times you see people running into issues with the CCV mod is when they do it with too small of tube (because its easy) or provide a point of clogging. That being said, I am thinking I will probably end up running it to a catch can and then back into the intake. Gets the oil out and keeps the vacuum on the system.
Nice truck Have you put injectors in the yet... What edge monitor do u gave ?
Thanks. It has AC 160/0s and it’s the edge insight cts 2. Should be linked in the description.
Turbo looks great!
What type of intake do you have?
I expertly cataloged the waste gate accuater red and green lines in my garage. Lol. Unnecessary.
It the S&B intake. I actually did a pretty good video on it a little while back. I thought about getting rid of those lines but was concerned about throwing a code on the solenoid
@@LivingOnWheels
I left the solenoid plugged in. Took a hose and directly attached it from the manifold to a 15 psi waste gate. Seems to work fine. (No over boost codes under 22.5 psi.)
@@norman_sage2528 Interesting. I was thinking about doing something similar just wasn't sure what it'd do if it wasn't reding any pressure at all. Thanks for the info
I LOVE THE COLOR OF THE INTAKE AND THE TURBO.....I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SAME "EYE CANDY" UNDER MY HOOD.....
All in time!
Nice.
Sounding good! Still loving my KC 63/68 as well!! Only had one issue so far with getting the P0478 code. No exhaust leaks now and I can hit 32 psi as well... My boost fooler may be set a bit low, I have Jelibuilt Tunes I may send them an email soon to ask what they think. My theory is it sees too much back pressure in relation to the amount of boost. 🤷🏻♂️ Anyways love those intercooler pipes!!! Looks amazing!
Makes me want to do my 99 7.3 if I was you I would run my ccv hose differently instead of going up and over I would run down
The reason for running it over is to allow the oil in the vapors to be able to condense and run back down into the crank case.
Looks good!!! I'm surprised how high your EGTs get.
Thanks. It is only the .84 housing and they don't really get up there until its revving out in 4th. I'll be very curious to see how it does when towing. The tow tune shouldn't be pumping as much fuel into it though
Brandon Leech I agree. Should be getting a trailer behind her for a good trip this weekend. Pumped to see how she does.
I WISH my truck had a 7 sec 0-60. Mine is more like 15 or 20. I probably have something going on.
I wonder if those pipes would fit my OBS 7.3, i currently have an intercooler and piping from a newer model 7.3 installed, but id love to get brand new pipes. Just hard to find something that i know will fit
did the pipes you have in now go right in or did you have to fab them to make them work? Id imagine if its setup so the just dropped in then these would probably work as well. This is basically a stock 99.5-03 pipe setup
No it will not work.. you should probably get your info from a mechanic not a youtuber
I made a mistake, mine are definitely fabbed up and not the oem 99-03 pipes. I saw a pipe set for the obs for sale for $140, cant remember the site. And i believe i need an early 99 model spyder to fit the plenums on the obs. I believe the plenums got larger late 99
Alix Maturo no worries. I figured they were probably fabbed up. That is usually the case. I can’t say for sure on the spyder but that does sound correct to me. There are a lot of good forums online of people doing this if you were to google it. Unfortunately I don’t have a tone of experience with the OBS 7.3s
I’m looking at getting the same turbo, did you re tune your hydra??
I did retune it but I don’t think it is really necessary. I mainly just wanted to try out new tunes.
The Riff Raff intercooler couplers look like they are on all wonkey
Their all on there pretty straight and true. What looks off to you?
Living On Wheels Maybe it’s the camera angle but looked like the boots were on at angles/clamps weren’t straight.
Ahhh, no they are all there pretty strait. Just had to go double check cause you had me doubting haha. I will say though that the riff raff boots are super heavy duty and tight so they are a bear to get all together! Guess that’s not a bad thing though.
Did you have to get new tune for 30lbs of boost or is it able to handle the boost?
Nope, all the same tuning. My be picking up some new tunes though just for fun
Dude, I know you are out of the 7.3 game and all, but I just did a KC300x stage 2 and an FRX kit upgrade. I didn't do a boost fooler and there seems to be a debate online...either put one in or have your tuner address it via programming? I do have 1023 custom tunes but I am leaning to just ordering Riff Raff fooler kit?
I’d say either works. I chose to do the riff Raff boost fooler because it seemed logical to not be shoving that much extra boost at the stock map sensor. Maybe it handles it fine but I’m not sure. Downside is if you don’t already have an additional boost sensor you will need it.
@@LivingOnWheels Thank you man! I appreciate the response.
What is the name of that ladder/platform thing the guy in blue hoodie is using??
Topside creeper. They are a lifesaver!
amzn.to/3ddgQFK
Curious to see how it does towing
Me too! Im gonna try to find a time in the more near future to get that done.
5 second 0-60 how? I have the kc 300x and I'm like a 10.5 0-60 with a tuner
The truck also has stage 1 AC injectors.
Don't do the ccv mod. To much crank case pressure causes the turbine seal to leak. Maybe not right away.
International designed these engines to vent to the atmosphere and that is how they ran it in all their trucks. The problem is people put a restrictive hose on their system and complain when things start leaking.
Living? Did u have any notice in the installation instructions not to hook up the boost control hose. I did my installation a couple months ago and just the other day was told by another kcturbo installer along with tech from KC turbos to leave it unplugged.
Thats the second time I've heard this. Perhaps I will have to try it.
I run across this on powerstroke.org. cncfab said it was actually to be marked on the waste gate control head "Do not plug in". That's when I called them and was told to plug it off, wasn't to be installed. I didn't keep my instruction so I couldn't look back to c if I missed it. I was also wondering that maybe u installed it because u had a boost fouler, I do not.
Its good to see the S&B worked well with it, I have to open riffraff set up and don't like it. Mainly because of pulling under hood heated air instead of outside cool air.
Stacy Rethman interesting. I didn’t actually receive any instructions with my turbo haha. The turbo wastegate doesn’t need to be plugged off though right? Just the lines going to it?
Yes, the S&B does work but it is all a very tight fit together. Takes some finagling.
probably shouldn't plug off the port on the waste gate actuator, the diaphragm side will need to vent wen the boost psi will overcome the actuator spring. If plugged it may dead head the diaphragm side and not actuate fully.
Your upper lip drives me crazy but I know you can't help it, lol. Nice work man.
Hmmmmm 🤔 what about it? I’m actually curious now hahaha 😂
How does that edge cts insight get all of its data? From the hydra chip?
The edge cts plugs trait into the obd port. So it can read basically all the factory sensors. For things like egts and fuel pressure, I added sensor to monitor them.
@@LivingOnWheels Ooooo sweet!
@@beachboardfan9544 Its a little spendy but an awesome setup. I honestly think its the best out there. I will say though that after going from the CTS2 to the CTS3, the # is well worth the extra money.
amzn.to/3wlCjFD
Looking good! But the proof is in the pudding...It would be great to see your truck on a DYNO to see how much HP/TQ you gained.
Trust me, I am really hoping to get her on a dyno in the near future! Im thinking it should be close to 350-375 on the max tune based one everything ive seen but the dyno will have to happen at some point for sure!
@@LivingOnWheels I have to agree. i bet you hit 350hp no problem with 2x torque. I follow your channel closely and I appreciate all the info you provide to the community. Thanks again ; )
Much appreciated!
Still have the truck? How's everything going? I'm about to do all this to my 02 7.3.
I do not anymore but I know the new owner well and it’s still running great.
@@LivingOnWheels cool. Thanks🤙🏼
don't want to hate on you pusher intake but your passenger bank of the engine is not goona get the best of flow because the way its constructed. I would love to try the AFE blade runner
If I was pushing higher numbers I might be more concerned about it but this is a very mild build.
@@LivingOnWheels do you know what boost numbers your running? It sound like you said your gauge stops at 23 because its ran off the MAP sensor?
skankhunt 42 I top out about 32 right now.
@@LivingOnWheels I bet that moves along real nice👌
She’s got enough to get out of her own way haha
Hey does your exhaust have a muffler or just straight pipe?
4" strait pipe all the way back
@@LivingOnWheels appreciate the response man. Do you think it hurt performance at all? I didnt know if you had the EGT probe before and after to see a difference
I didn’t have the probe before and after but it did not hurt the performance. Diesels are different than gas. The more free flowing the better.
Did you pre lube the turbo
I put some oil in and spun it around a bit but its hard to really prelube it because the intake and exhaust oil spouts are on the bottom.
This video possible dropped for 3 part video for 3 weeks:
1 mechanical part
2 first start,and problems
3 MPG,boost,and million tests
I thought about it, but I didnt want to drag on a month long process for you all to watch.
What air intake is on this truck?
It had the S&B intake
Ccv mod is a bad idea... I did this on my 2000 f350 and it didnt give me problems until about months later
Out of curiosity, what problems?
Was gonna say the same ... Heard idle issues among other things....look up... don't ccv mod your powerstroke....
Where did you order the pusher intake
I think I actually ordered it from pusher themselves. Ordered it raw and had it powder coated.
What tunes are you running? Boost fooler shouldnt be needed. All modern tunes just write the map sensor out of the tunes anyway.
I run 1023 tunes. I am aware of this. The main reason I put the fooler on was to not be throwing a ton of pressure at my stock map sensor all the time. It may not be necessary but I figure the stock sensor wasn’t meant to be taking that high of boost all the time. So I figured why not.
How'd you get the provided boot on the turbo I cant get mine on lol
Probably not supposed to but we used a little WD40 to lube it up. It’s a VERY tight fit though! It also wanted to keep slowly pushing back off though. So have your clamp ready.
@@LivingOnWheels thanks for the quick reply, I managed to put some elbow grease into it with a carefully placed screwdriver and it seemed to work but man it's a tight fit
Nice!
What was boost before new turbo?
Mid 20s. I'd say the biggest difference is more in the drivability of the new turbo. Quicker spooling and lower EGTs.
How did you get the turbo boot on??
A lot of swearing haha. Got it on the turbo and clamped and then forced it into place and bolted on the middle coupler to hold it there.
@@LivingOnWheels oh i gotcha. Been fighting it for 2 days now and it still won’t go on. Tons of pry bars and wd40
What’s you MPG with all the mods?
Depends on driving and time of year. I range from 14-17 usually
UMMMM !!!
UMMMM can I help you sir?? Haha its your turn now
you should not reverse the crank case vent, it should go through the turbo, bad idea, just my opinion
I could be wrong but I believe international actually ran some t444e engine applications with atmospheric venting. Ford's 7.3s needed to be vented back into the intakes for emissions purposes. Most times you see people running into issues with the CCV mod is when they do it with too small of tube (because its easy) or provide a point of clogging. That being said, I am thinking I will probably end up running it to a catch can and then back into the intake. Gets the oil out and keeps the vacuum on the system.
I would leave ur ccv how u plumbed it, no catch can
I might, we will see if the smell ends up bugging me
I got a long enough hose from advance and ran it all the way back and pushed it through a whole in the transmission crossmember. You do notice the synthetic smell as a heads up..
