We had a big 94-97 7.3 thread on pbb, may as well have one here.
I'm coming up on 340k on mine and am really way past due on some maintenance/upgrades.
I have to wring the thing way out when towing. Old ass injectors, leaking up pipes, and inefficient turbo are most likely to blame.
#1 on list: riffraff ceramic coated up pipes
#2 some sort of turbo upgrade/rebuild. I have another stock turbo and a riff raff Billet wheel, I could rebuild it with the wheel and maybe a kc turbine wheel, but the kc300x 63/70 caught my eye. Looks like a pretty nice set up for not that much more than I would have into bastardizing what I have. Any one have any experience with these?
#3 injectors. Most likely just some 160/0% as I don't want to mess with the hpop or fuel system. Last I looked at them (5-6 years ago) I liked the rosewoods? Full force seems good too? No idea really, just want a slight upgrade.
#4 exhaust brake. I did a half ass ebpv switch years ago. It definitely helps, but from what I've read, a real pac brake is much better. No delay, applies more pressure at lower rpms, but also bypasses pressure at higher rpms to avoid engine damage. My ebpv has been acting up lately anyway, it comes on every time I "cold" start it, even though it's 75*+ out. Sometimes it stays in for a few minutes, which is annoying while trying to drive.
