Looking to turn up the injector pump on my 1992 7.3L IDI

I have a 1992 F-250 7.3L IDI with an aftermarket turbo. It still has the stock injector pump. Was wondering if the injector should be turned up because of the aftermarket turbo being put on the truck? and if it should be turned up how do you do it?

Welcome to FTE!!!!

I have the same question. A buddy of mine just bought a very clean old 7.3 with a Banks sidewinder on it. Runs pretty well. but definitely needs some more umph.

Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
First I would recommend installing a pyrometer to monitor the exhaust temps.


Turning the fuel up can raise the exhaust temps to the point it can damage the pistons which start to melt at 1250 degrees.

Do you see any black smoke when you floor it?
If you do, you probably have enough fuel.

If not there are directions here,

Thank you for responding to my question

I do have a pyrometer to watch the exhaust temps. When i floor it i do see black smoke. Can i turn up the pump any more without hurting the engine?
