EGT's aren't as bad as i thought they were yesterday, boost doesn't happen until 2K rpm.
I need to lower my idle too. idle right now is about 850 rpm. maybe then my cold idle will do something lol. i also need to advance the timing for sure. this thing is WAY to quite.
Does timing have an effect on exhaust note out the tail pipe? i ask b/c it sounds like somebody put my muffler back in. truck still sounds strong but more mellow.

you didn't order me one too! come on man! im still kicking it old school n/a ip! lol.congrats!
you need to order up some timing tools now to dial her right in.
On another note.....I EFFING HATE THE TCM FOR THE E4OD!!!! I can't get on the throttle hard right now b/c the trans won't shift unless i let off the throttle. i hit probly 3400, nearly 3500 rpm and wasn't even WOT. need to adjust the TPS more. will work on that Wednesday.
following along with this as you drive your truck,write up how yours fully operates as written in the ATSG if ya can?

in step 6.
drive 50mph and while giving it less than half throttle,manually downshift into 2nd gear,let off the skinny and she should kick right down and slow ya right down quickly.once she's rolling down around 30 mph,drop her down to 1st and she should rapidly downshift into 1st.
don't get rear ended lmao.make sure it's a side street/straight away/no one around.be safe while testing.

no you wont brake it.she wont downshift into a manually selected gear until it's going slow enough anyway.
im not sure but i don't think my tugger kit has this limitation but iv no desire to find out either lol.

much to my surprise i got my R&D IP today in the mail!!!! went out and installed it. install went good. seems to idle smoother than with the old IP. Runs strong. runs about 5psi of boost. i went nearly WOT twice and hit maybe 9psi. on the EGT front......let's just say i won't/can't tow anything........i can hit 900*F just getting up to 55mph and that is not getting on it hard. i am also very happy to report that there is no more smoke than there was with the old pump(hardly an at all).
On another note.....I EFFING HATE THE TCM FOR THE E4OD!!!! I can't get on the throttle hard right now b/c the trans won't shift unless i let off the throttle. i hit probly 3400, nearly 3500 rpm and wasn't even WOT. need to adjust the TPS more. will work on that Wednesday.
Even though i am only running 5psi, it still feels like twice the truck as it did before. i am sure my wg needs adjusting but seeing as how EGT's will prevent me from getting on it hard, there is no point in messing with the WG right now. I NEED AN INTERCOOLER IN A VERY BAD WAY!!!! Local J/Y had a 7.3 superduty, will have to call them or stop by and see how much they want for the IC. fix the TPS, IC it, crank the fuel, dial in the WG, and this thing would be an absolute beast!!!
The e-fuel is awesome btw, still no leaks in the return system and i have about .5-1psi fuel pressure drop when getting o it!
That's about all i can think of right now. As of my short drive today i am happy with my e-fuel choice and my IP choice!!!!!!!

I am running stuck lift pump, which is bad, 94 factory upgrade turbo and injection pump turned up. I get 15 psi through a SD intercooler, and I can hold it all day.
get an intercooler!

if you would like to donate to the '94IDITurbo7.3 intercooler fund that would be great!!!
LOL!
yeah, i have a few things to work on. i see zero boost until 2K rpm....i'm gonna smoke check the exhaust system(pre-turbo) for leaks at school on thursday.

iirc,you had Russ install a larger turbo wheel? if that made spool up slightly more laggy (them's the breaks.there's pro's and con's to everything) go easy on the timing advance.or without a meter,i should say,go easy on the diesel rattle or she'll spool up even slower and your dreams of getting a whistle will be forever gone lol!
