Ok I have a 1994 F250 IDI Turbo
After I get my Tax check Im going to Finally Replace my Injectors Thinking of Getting R&D factory injectors
I know my Turbo is eating oil
and I want to rebuild it its a factory
I believe you guys said Garret
were do I find a kit?
Also im planning on Putting in a wicked wheel and Install my Banks Downpipe
With 4 inch exhaust
So with that work should I do Factory or stage 1 Injectors ?

I'm not going to comment on the injectors or exhaust. I will say the best place to get turbo parts is

I had conestoga diesel rebuild my turbo and install a wicked wheel. It was around $800 with the wicked wheel. They painted it and all, did a very nice job.

Chuckster57 I checked out the site looks like around $100 for kit good deal .
Do you know which model is is that the IDI uses?

 

[chuckster57]

I don't remember right now. When I called them in '09 I found them extremely helpful, ended up buying a new center section. I would call them, I think it's a T3/T4 hybrid?

Funny, i was cleaning up some oil under my intake on my valley pan yesterday and found the tag for my turbo had fallen off. Not sure if that helps you determine what it is

Ok thanks chuckster

the problem with the OEM factory turbo is that the pup pipe castings suck.
from age, they are not a correct fit.
sometimes you can use high temp RTV to seal it, but it will eventually leak.
and with any turbo the exhaust to the turbo is muy importante

theres a member on other forums "typ4- OB, type four-FTE" that exclusively carries the updated castings for the 093.

he also rebuilds turbos.

if you have not done a turbo build by yourself, i suggest sending it to one of the top 3 venders that are IDI exclusive.
conesotgadiesel
idiperformance
or Russ aka Typ4

spent just about 800 tor Russ to build my turbo w/ a WW2, but the castings were about 550 extra.
boy what a difference

They're designed to be a slip fit for expansion/contraction reasons just like on big diesels. My ATS system has been trouble-free for 23 years, no excessive leakage and same fit as the day I installed it back in '93. There's a slight amount of soot around it, just like on the heavy truck diesels. Of course I bought my kit brand new from ATS so that may make a difference.

Why would i spend $800 on a rebuild if i can get a upgraded one for $1000 is it better ? Im pretty sure I can handle a rebuild anything i can do to make it better ? I only got my $700 tax check to fix it all

 

[Shawn MacAnanny]

If i had to do it over again i would have gotten a turbo from R&D, not that there was anything wrong with Conestoga diesel at all, i just would have had the 3" outlet housing and down pipe added since i purchased the banks down pipe at the same time to install. I didnt even realize you could get the upgraded 3" housings from anywhere.

If you only have $700, why not try to find a good used one? If you've never done it before it might not be the best time to try it if you cant afford to fix it if pieces end up in your engine. That is if it's a vehicle you depend on daily.

Im getting Factory R&D injrctors so thats $275 plus I need mt banks downpipe installed with a new exhaust

 

[Shawn MacAnanny]

That's a good price, does it include the injector o-rings, fuel lines and caps?

 

[isaachorrom]

It comes with copper o rings
ive already replaced the Return lines

 

[IDIoit]

when you do injectors, at a minimum, make sure you replace the o-rings again

 

[isaachorrom]

Yea the injectors come with new orings
