IDI Dyno results with Moose IP and Injectors: 204.75HP and 461.59lb/ft torque @ RW!!!
 

wow guys!
this is personally the highest dyno run #'s iv seen posted for the IDI diesel!!!

brand new post fresh from OBN and i quote:



thought id share with ya guys,so no one here at FTE misses it.
enjoy!

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
Do you know if the boost gauge only goes to 15?
Stock motor with just the Moose fuel system added, or modified internals?

this is his signature:

1986 F250HD 4x4 7.3L IDI with '95 PSD front clip, '97 bed, 4-speed T19, and 3.55's. Dana 60/Ford 10.25 (Detroit TrueTrac Locker). Rebuilt from the frame up. Banks Sidewinder Turbo. Moose Pump and Injectors. 12 Inch Kevlar/Metalic South Bend Clutch. On-Board York Air Compressor. Isspro Turbo Temp Monitor, Banks Monster Exhaust, Boost Gauge and Pyrometer. Autometer Voltmeter. Autometer Oil, Fuel, and Air Pressure Gauges. Precharged Coolant Filter, Holley Red Pump. 16.5 x 37 x 12.5 Goodyear Wrangler's. Six Inch Lift (4 Skyjacker, 2 Body). Air Horns. Rhino Liner. "Woody Style" Filler Neck Mods, Fresh paint job. Added A/C. Push Button GP/Automatic GP on toggle. Interior redone.

Pretty nice numbers there. Who needs a new truck when you can just moose your IDI for alot less lol.

lol,well those numbers are a far cry from a "new" truck w/ diesel.
but yeah,frigging great to finally see 200 HP verified @ the rear wheels.
this is very,very impressive....at least to us classic IDI owners.:)
his huge torque increase has me a bit baffled.....and must admit,a bit skeptical.

Seems to me like the moose IP and DPS injectors would be the way to go. Still though, i am a little dissapointed with the HP numbers for a turbo'd engine, especially as theyre rated at 180 stock NA

mel added/updated the dyno section of the FAQ at OBN.here are some more cool facts included,and i directly quote:



Q. What kind of horsepower can I expect from an IDI 6.9 or 7.3 diesel?

Current IDI Horesepower and Torque Bests... 205.35HP / 461.59Torque

A. Contributed by Heath Sutton...

Editors note... These results are rear wheel SAE horsepower numbers achieved on a SuperFlow dynometer unit during the 2009 IDI Weekend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and represent a large cross section of truck models and styles. Some Powerstroke engines are listed for comparison. Most were modified.

Name - Horsepower - Torque in ft/lbs

Non turbo results

John Herbert 143.9 261.3
Marnin Gehman 137.4 257.1
Heath Sutton 123.2 218.7
Matthias Agne 108.8 229.1

Average Horsepower of a normally aspirated stock IDI.... 128.3
Average Torque of a normally aspirated stock IDI... 241.55

Turbo results

Heath Sutton- DPS inj 185.1 404.0
Heath Sutton MM's 178.7 387.9
Joe Perry 172.5 313.6
Suzi Agne 151.9 284.2
Steve Reitner 150.0 300.3
Chris Barber 148.7 278.8
Jared Whitmer 136.0 304.1

Average Horsepower of a turbocharged lightly modded IDI...165.55
Average torque of a turbocharged lightly modded IDI...324.7

Powerstrokes

Gary Russell 302.8 557.2
Aric Hornsby 301.9 543.7
Bonnie Young 181.8 373.3

Average horsepower and torque for a Powerstroke...262HP/491.4

Additional turbo equipped dyno numbers that were achieved individually...

First pull, no LPG - HP 183.15 Torque 325.45

2nd and 3rd pull with LPG - HP 205.35 Torque 362.64, HP 205.51 Torque 361.55
Bests average turbo IDI by 39.8 HP and 37.94 Torque

So a 22.96 increase in HP and a 37.19 increase in Torque when using propane.

With a Moose Pump - 204.75HP and 461.59lb/ft torque
With a DPS Pump - 178.7HP and 387.9lb/ft

So a 26.05 increase in HP and a 73.69 increase in torque using a Moose Pump.
Bests average turbo IDI by 39.2 HP and 136.89 torque

your confusing power @ the crank (fords stock power numbers) vs power @ the rear wheels (today's dyno runs where the truck is measured by spinning rollers,rather than pulling and setting the engine itself on a dyno),that's all.
stock @ the crank is:
Peak Horsepower: 185 HP @ 3,000 RPM (190 w/ turbo)
Peak Torque: 360 lb-ft. @ 1,400 RPM (388 w/ turbo)

keep in mind,the stock turbo down pipe was basically "crushed" and badly at that.(ford thought it best to crush the down pipe,rather than alter a seem in the cab.)
anyone still running a stock turbo outlet housing w/this poor down pipe is missing out.
it's worse off than that stock Y pipe on the exhaust,and that's pitiful.
why some people think OEM is always best is beyond me lol.the manufacturer cuts corners to save $.not boost economy/power.

Ok, thats quite a difference then, i have been told by several people including a Ford dealer tech, that ALL diesels used in ford pickups have always been advertised by the rear wheel horsepower. Seemingly, that is mistaken. Still cant believe that the drivetrain is eating 60 HP or seemingly 30% of the engine gross output... I wonder how many of those are auto trannys. And by looking at the PSD numbers, i would assume the first two are 6.0s and the 3rd a 7.3psd?

As far as i know only thing done to heaths engine is its rebuilt, moosed and turboed, now you said earlier the moose pump and dps injectors would be the way to go, wrong actually, i have some dps injectors and the really suck! they wont idle worth crap the suck fuel like crazy and smoke like mad, If you ever seen a DPS injectors pop tested you would be sick all the do is piss a stream of fuel

The moose injectors atomixe fuel beautifully and shoot an amazing amount of fuel out, the reason his power went down is the boost was so high after the moose injectors that it was super heating the air, he needs a differnt turbo thats more in its effieceint range, and even an intercooler so that it will cooler that air charge, then i bet we would really see some nice numbers, oh and his boost gauge is only a 15 PSI gauge just imagine what hes making for boost:-X20

id love to get a moose pump and injectors. i figure i could use a refresh anyways. on my way with the propane now and already with the intercooler... just gotta finish a few mods. we got a dyno about 40 minutes from here. thinkin about throwin on my 35's and takin a run at it.

moose pump info(from typefour)
Mel gave me this to paste this over here and rupejosh wanted this info also, so here it is.
Contact info at the bottom

not installed in the engine above.but another nice mod we hopefully see dyno results from someday too:
camshaft for the IDI: "The torque cam"

Thanks for putting up all the info! I just noticed that when he went from DPS IP/injectors to DPS IP/ moose injectors, that he lost power, also, the dps injectors were making more power with less boost. I am still learning so dont be to hard on me lol. I reeeaaally want the cam.

As far as the pumps go, is he running the Moose Pump or the Super Moose? More fuel is typically more power, but do they change the timing curve at all? From what i understand the timing is one of the major shortcomings of the IDI. I must admit im a touch over my head here but i wonder how bad the Super Moose would kill drivability and reliability. I can live with it breaking down some, but if its torn down more than i get to drive it i start to get annoyed. My goal is 250-300hp at the wheels, and hopefully still able to drive the thing and get fair fuel mileage. Right now with the rig stock i get close to 20 on the hwy and 13 or so in town, my 400 avg. at around 8. The truck will tow, once in a while nothing major, and i would like to do some casual truck pulling, but for the most part just want kinda a hot rod truck. I apparently didnt know as much as i thought (usually the case) because im continuing to find out more about these as far as aftermarket (or lack thereof) and what people are doing to get these built. This much i can say. If 205hp at the rear wheels is the standing record for the IDI, i will be a pioneer and record holder... eventually. As far as the pump and injectors go is there a webpage somewhere? Im wondering about the injectors and would like to find some more reading on em if i can, and prices.

If you ever watched the dps injectors be pop tested then watched the moose misters be pop tested then see some stock injectors pop tested you will be purely set on the moose injectors,

DPS injectors- just piss fuel at around 1200psi but they dont atomize the fuel at all they just pee

Stock injectors- atomize fuel pretty decent with a decent fuel flow

Moose misters- flow a massive amount of fuel and it atomizes fuel like no other injector, and pops off at 22-2400 cant remember which it is

I recenty had a set of BB injectors set to my own personal pop pressure, i had them set to pop at 2300psi, and the make for an awesome sounding and great running engine and plenty of power
