Running a STOCK 93 12 valve in an f-350. Has the turbo that was on engine-- (I think it was called an HF-6 ????) I had the core re-ringed but it still seems to be slobbering oil into the hot side which makes a constant stink. In use the pressure doesnt really come up untill about half way up the RPM range. Kind of dead below there. I guess I will have to take it off if I want to stop the oil leak.
Im thinking I could change the exhaust housing to a 16 from the bigger one that it probably has.
OR--- I could just get an HX-35 which I understand was the stock unit on the later engines that had the In-Line fuel inj. pump. Is the 35 the same external dimensions as the one I have ?
(so I dont have to cut my header pipes)
Would the 2 ways to go be the same in performance ? (assuming I can get the hf-6 to stop leaking oil)
Looks like the oil is being slung off the edge of the compressor wheel and making its way to the outside of the unit. seems like the rings must be leaking- or an O-ring ?
Like to get more pressure at lower RPM. I am only getting about 6 or 7 psi in normal flatland traffic (trying to drive normaly for good MPG) I have just installed a gear vendors OD so I would like more boost in the lower 1/3 rpm.
Also _ I am using the ford intercooler -- which looks like it could be double the size of the dodge unit-- which could represent quite a bit of volume to pressurize when trying to build the pressure.
