Performance injectors

Anyone know of a company that makes Performance injectors for a 1993 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel?
I know theres a company that makes them for the 24v I6 5.9L Cummins Diesel, and in 5 different stages too, but what about for the older Fords?

These seem to be the easiest way to add Hp and torque on an already turboed diesel, along with pane and water injection, which Im also interested in.

To late to edit original post and add the following:

Is there anyway to get a 7.3L IDI turbo up to 450-550hp? and 900-1100ft-lbs.?
Besides air filter kits, NOS, Pane, exhaust, bigger/better fuel pumps and lines, turning up the fuel a flat or two (to go with the increased air of a better than OEM turbo), water/methanol injection, intercooler, and turbochargers what else is there for power?

have you looked into installing a chip? they increase hp and fuel efficiency.
and i have a question for you. i have a 93 diesel (no turbo), do you know if there is an affordable aftermarket turbo kit for my model?

The Powerstroke was the first diesel with a computer in it. That came out in the middle of 94. Therefore you and I have no chips. We are indirecty, mechanically injected. Doesnt get much worse.

Depends what you call affordable. Go to www.ATSturbo.com or www.Bankspower.com they both have quality stuff, but Id lean towards the ATS.

Edit: I AM turboed ('93), have a ZF-5, and 3.55s with 35's

30 miles west of DFW, in Aledo east of Weatherford.Yeah Im a power junkie also, if you didnt notice.
You have a 93 right? 93's came with D60s up front already, unless you mean you put in a new one.
Its about $2000 for a complete Banks Sidewinder kit, which is probably the best thing you can do to a NA 7.3 IDI.

what do ya mean (doesnt get much worse).i'd rather have an IDI than a power joke anyday,at least an IDI doesnt have a cam sensor that fails and leaves you stranded
i have a buddy with power joke and he carrys around a spare cam sensor in his glove box kinda reminds me of an old dodge and there resistor problems!

Just pull the 7.3 out and install a C13 Cat motor. You can get about 525 horses out of it and about 1750 lbs torque.
Then you better buy a machine shop to make driveshafts and carry a dozen with you everywhere you go.

As many u joints and axles as I have broken with a stock 6.9, I can not see any use for 1000 pounds of torque.
Cool, nail the throttle and turn the driveshaft into a pretzel at 70 MPH.

A friend of mine put one in his truck.
Could not make a 20 mile trip to town and back home without breaking something in the driveline, usually the driveshaft.

Not too interested in an engine swap...
what gas mileage does the C13 get?

I meant for power it doesnt get much worse, not reliability.

edit:
An inline 6 and 12.7 liters? couldnt get good gas mileage!
Also, why the C13 rather than the C9 or C11? something a little smaller and better gas mileage while still providing sufficient hp and tq? Do you know their redline, Dave?
C9=1500lbs
C11=2270lbs
Whats a 7.3L IDI weigh? sounds like a new front suspension to me.

Well you wanted a boat load of torque.
I personally think my 7.3 turbo has more than enough HP.
I drag 12,000 pound trailers all over the WV mountains.
I have a new driveshaft on order for my truck now, the u joint holes are egg shaped from the torque I have now.

A full dressed 7.3 turbo weighs 1100 pounds.

i used a direct OEM replacement diff that i bought from the ford house. i could have gone with higher quality parts, but i'm a starving college student with limited funds. but the repair had to be done, the gear was thrashed from the previous owner, luckily the transfer case is still in good shape.

aight so did youre friend actually put a C13 in his truck or not? yall got me confused...after what Icicle said.

500hp doesnt mean youre gonna break driveshafts all the time unless youre rough on it, plenty of people out there have that and 800+ ft-lbs of tq. They break stuff offroading, whats new? 1700 ft-lbs might mean youll be breaking stuff a lot though...
