turbo help

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.

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.

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.
