Will a banks turbo kit off a 7.3 idi with a c6 tranny work on my 7.3 idi zf5 tranny?

 

Negative. The one piece up pipe the banks uses will not clear the ZF... at the very least i couldnt make it do it.

This was the older "banks power" kit for the 6.9

 

yes and no.

yes,if the banks turbo is a sidewinder (2nd gen wastegated or 1st gen non wastegated.)

no,if the banks turbo is pre-sidewinder (large square air box) but only no in this case,as is.it would mean you would need to source a cross over pipe from a used pre-sidewinder turbo that sports a trans matching yours,or build your own/muffler shop build one.so actually yes still here as well,with a little modding.
edit,well bummer,hairy.i was unaware of the pedestal being different for this turbo too.so add in sourcing one of these for your correct trans too then.-that would be tough lol.pretty much write it off.not worth the effort in this case.might as well fab something better if you need to fab up a pedestal as it would be unlikely to find just this being sold separately.

 

Sorry for got to add that. Yes it is the older banks with the square box.

 

Not sure about the pedestal, but when i was looking at my banks kit it seems it would work with the correct up-pipe. The problem is its just not wide enough to clear the ZF. Given that you have the standard, i would search for a better / different kit unless youre getting a steal on it.

 

I think the guy wants $400 for it. Is there anyone on here that has all the stuff for a stock turbo? Ill make a Frankenstein turbo kit lol. Would a turbo off a 12 valve cummins work?

 

12v would have an H1C... not the most ideal choice. If you went with a holset, you would need a banks sidewinder up-pipe and i would recommend the HX35 off of a 24v with a standard trans (auto had the hy35 [smaller exhaust housing]) If you went with the stock / ATS style up pipe you can pretty much bolt on a BW turbo, something like a S256 or S259, or even keep the stock Garrett / ATS 093 turbo.

 

Ha honestly you lost me there.

 

Is there a way you can dumb that down a little? Im not quite up to spare on turbos lol...

 

What part do you need clarified? There are a few good build threads going around on here with aftermarket or retrofitted turbos on "stock" turbo kits. If you have the $$ get ahold of idiperformance.com he can set you up with a brand new Bullseye turbo on new 093 castings.

 

the pedestal is different between the C-6 and ZF trans, as is the crossover pipe.
new crossover pipe , pedestal, dipstick tube, and full gasket kit cost me $320 when i converted from ZF to C6 a few years ago directly from banks.
BUT. the C6 parts MAY work on the ZF truck. if i remember correctly the C6 is a bit wider than the ZF, and that is why the ZF parts would not work on the C6 conversion.

 

I think im gonna just pick the banks kit up and see what I can work up from there

 

Do you happen to have the partd for the zf?

 

no, i sold them to a fellow in North Dakota.

 

Alright was worth a shot. Ill just fab up the parts I need to make it work.
