I am going to leave to vacation here in a week but once i get back i shall begin my first f250 IDI build and would love for everyone to tune in. Its a 5 speed 2 wheel drive with 3.55 gears in the rear. And for some reason the rear tires are bald...
Here is my christmas list/to do list

1. Rebuild my rear end. It is a 10.25 i believe.
2. Buy a pyro meter, amperage gauge, oil temp gauge, and a oil pressure gauge. Do i need the 0-40 or 0-100? I have yet to find a 0-60 anywere which is what i think i would need. And id like to have a fuel pressure gauge in the cab also! But i wasnt sure that this was safe. Sounds illegal and unsafe but im not sure.
3. Find a shop to coat my stock rims gloss black and go coverless on all 4 corners.
4. Change all the fluids (engine, tranny, and rear end)
5. Start some plans on my front and rear bumpers i will be making myself.
6. And last on the list is to begin my custom intake to help burn my extra fuel i will be running. (2 flats until turbo)

Thats about all i imagine that will get done before christmas. I currently have a fund set back for this truck and im stashing away $100 a month for her ( thats my limit according to the wife ). It might change and it might not.
Some time in this trucks life of the build i want to rework the filtration system of this engine including the oil and fuel also. Which company has a good set up for those? Ive seen some double filter kits before.
There will be more to come... With time

 

i would ditch the amp gauge and get a water temp gauge instead.

i have a 0-100psi oil pressure gauge and i don't have any issues with it as far as reading it.

You can get an electric fuel pressure gauge, that way you don't have to worry about running fuel into the cab. same thing for the oil pressure gauge.

i know amsoil makes oil filter by pass kits. you could do a custom e-fuel set up or spend big money for one of the really nice name brand systems.

 

I'd be saving some outside coin and trying a Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy rattle can.

Good luck,

Hypermax - Product Display

Any bad words on this brand?

 

not at all.

 

don't the turbo you linked to though.

you would need to get this one.
Hypermax - Product Display

 

Do what? im not sure i understand what you said.

 

What is the difference in my link ( Hypermax - Product Display ) and yours ( Hypermax - Product Display )?

 

The s series comes with the intake and exhaust

 

my bad on the one post. the one you linked to is for the s-series international engine.

the one i linked to is for your engine and trans combo.

 

Which one do i get now? Im confused and lost. I thought i was right but now im afraid to order the wrong one...

 

sorry to confuse you LOL

get the one that i linked to. it is for 1988-1994 F-series pick-up with 7.3L engine and 5spd manual transmission.

 

They both claim to fit my truck though

 

Hypermax's turbo gauge for my truck in the suggested parts section goes to 30 lbs of boost. How much is this system truely running? 15 correct?

 

the one you linked to is for things like buses. that is the s-series class i guess. yes same engine but different platform.
