Ford boys jumping on the band wagon- Maybe David Lott knows about this... .

Dude... sounds like he is ****** in his description. For self-fabrication like the guy claims, it looks pretty clean especially for an engine that looks like it has to be put in with a shoe horn.

Looks pretty clean.



Did you guys read the part about the twin turbo/supercharged D Max?



I am going to try to get some pictures...

HMMmmm - depending on the actual displacement of that supercharger, it would sure seem that while it could be good at low/midrange operation, it could be a bottleneck at high flow due to being AHEAD of the turbo, choking it's flow capability...



Interesting - but sure must require lots of engine mods for the V8 diesels to live with...

"95-2005 7. 3 LITER BOLT-ON SUPERCHARGER KIT. ALLOWS QUICKER ENGINE RESPONSE,BETTER FUEL ECONOMY UNDER CRUISE CONDITIONS, USES STOCK BELT. CONVERTS ENGINE TO SEQUENTIAL(2 STAGE)SUPERCHARGING WHICH ALLOWS MANIFOLD PRESSURES UP TO 60 PSI"



What part of this is nonsense?

Someone is missing the fact that the 6. 0 PSD has a variable turbo.

Won't work and if you stop and think about it no one out there in the automotive world has bothered to do it. Reason -



1. Parasitic loss of the blower makes it problematic. This could certainly be overcome but... ...



2. If the blower is working properly it would likely cause surging in the turbo (stalling the air flow) and actually increase back pressure negating any boost effect of the turbo. Because the blower is a positive displacement pump the turbo never stands a chance to overcome the blowers push. The turbo then becomes the choke point in the exhaust system.



3. There's a reason manufacturer's chose turbo's over blowers on diesels. The turbo's spool up time is figured into the diesels delta RPM capability and is optimized for the diesel.

Looks like he's trying to copy the DD 2 stroke except the turbo feeds the blower in their engines... .

That way makes LOTS more sense!

The ford part?? :-laf :-laf

It has been done, where there is a will there is a way and any obstacle can be overcome. Pier's has done this on the Cummins and the article is in these forums with pictures (supercharged twin turbo I believe) .



The guy says he does Furd, Maxi's and Cummins in the ebay add.

The point AKAMAC is trying to make, is that the 7. 3 was only produced from 94-early03 not through 05 as this person claims.

Fuel ecomony usually drop off with mechanical blower ??

UMMmmm - I thought the 7. 3 was still an option for a while in some of Ford's larger duty truck - 450, 650, etc. ?

Thank you Wes!



Gary a few production 7. 3's were put into early MY 04's 650's. I belive that they were stock displacement build. Much like the 03 7. 3's that live today.



The reason for my post was the picture in the "ad" was a 7. 3 and he advertised use in the 6. 0 by inclusion of later MY vehicles. I just thought it funny that he used MY "2005" as being a 7. 3... ... . My humor was lost and I apologize. Mike

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

" My humor was lost and I apologize. Mike"



Nah Mike - it wasn't lost - it's just that the statement you referred to had so MANY questionable areas, it as hard to know which ONE to focus on! :-laf :-laf

 

[aaronisbad]

That dude is cracked. Yall see the dieselstop comment at the bottom of the description I think David is giving him holy hell LOL

This makes some interesting reading...
