The haildex pump draws oil from res, and goes to port on back of factory hpop, and that line going to bottom of block is for even more oil to pump if needed

Magnum PD · Jun 4, 2015

I'm use to seeing it come out of the side of the Rez. Your line comes from the back correct?

isootmypants · Jun 4, 2015

Back and t fitting. It came like that. I think if it was directly out that side it would be in way of alternator

My dad, my buddy Gary and myself fought the intake bridge, new mishimoto intercooler boots and beans plenums for 45 minutes with a heat gun, 3 picks and flat heats to get that damn thing to go on. It kind of bothers me the way it sits and looks but I hope it doesn't blow a boot haha

How the hell are you going to plumb that turbo through the IC?

I'm not going to leave the turbo housing facing up like it should and collect and thing floating around in the garage. It's loosely facing down for the time being.

THAT LOOKS LIKE SOME SERIOUS CLOCKING.

It's vband. 7/16 socket and spin it where you want....

Everybody on this site should know how that works.

with my continuing research on my up coming build i came across this thread and fell in love. the amount of detail and style alone is mesmerizing. any way as a fellow jersey boy l love to see more 7.3 builds. i was wondering how you made out with all this and if you had any advise for someone who is likely to follow in pursuit.

looking forward to hear an update on this build.

You can only do internals while rebuilding the engine. Bolt on's can come later. My input.

Exactly. I wish I pulled motor and did rods, girdle, fill, cam and pistons first thing and did injectors and turbo later. You can pretty much drive stock injectors, stock turbo truck on full built bottom end. I'll play with this set up, can go bigger injectors and maybe compounds, and if I really want or get tired of it, drop down to 250/100 and 366. It's always going to be a reliable motor. Don't go hog wild with injectors and turbo if you don't want bottom end to go boom. Yea some people have gotten away with 400/400 and 475 for a while but cringe EVERYTIME in throttle. Or just don't care because they have extra motor and can swap motors out quick. It's pretty much person decision on what you wanna do and plans with it.

Hot side looks completely normal. Coldside clocked a lil odd

Hot side is the red side..... Coming out of the turbo hot.... Cold side is a pipe coming out of intercooler into motor. And does ANYONE understand how a vband works? It's loose to spin it out of the way while working on it right now.
