Differences between the Ford 7.3 IDI and 7.3 Powerstroke

Naming off just a few of the main differences between the 7.3 IDI and 7.3 Powerstroke motor.. aside from the obvious, being that the IDI stands for in-direct injection while the PSD (powerstroke) is direct injection. How many other differences can you name?

It’s enhanced because the idi blocks were just 6.9 blocks bored out so the cylinder wall got very thin

Blank screen and just audio and it would still be by far the most attractive thing on the internet.

My 7.3 IDI always started every time. It just takes about 3 minutes of constant cranking

[aaronmoser]

The biggest difference is the IDI is indirect injection vs direct injection for the powerstroke.

Idis are more fuel efficient. 21 to 1 compression. You are limited in the amount of boost they can handle because of that though.

Well you give me hope for the country I love USA.

There's not much better then a hottie and a big truck 😊

I dont need it, however my wife is excellent at giving it unconditionally.

You could have an ATS or Garrett turbo installed and retain factory warranty back in the day

[Fl-diesel-Mechanic]

Idi means indirect injection the fuel is injected into a pre combustion chamber in the cylinder head where a powerstroke is direct injected so the tip of the injector or the nozzle tip is poking out into through the head a little bit and the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder that is the biggest difference between the two

Only thing they truly share are the lifters . And bellhousing bolt pattern . Everything else will not fit in psd in its factory configuration

Pappaw has a 7.3 with a turbo. It’s a 1998? 99? Ford F250

[braddurham]

Have a 99 7.3 and it’s alright I guess but the problem is you start getting more power out of your 7.3 and the egts will go threw the roof when towing broke a piston in half because I got it to hot but I still made it back home with out a tow truck and that is y I keep my old 7.3 o and I was pulling 10.000 pounds

[cheeseymccheese]

Throw a Cummins with a p-pump in there for the ultimate truck. Well done.

[Wilsonwillfixit]

You should do some long videos working on the truck with tutorials.

Nice video and sweet truck!! Love diesels 👍👍

7.3 idi was added turbocharger in 1994 for only one year

[montgomerypoulos]

Turbocharged 7.3 idi did come factory with Garrett ar82 turbo

I thought the safe limit was 1, 250 & that pistons started meltin at 1, 500... I've seen 1, 260 1 time when mine was an auto climbin a hill, I've heard u don't wanna maintain much over 1, 100. Tho since the manual trans swap in my 92 idi i haven't let it get passed 1, 110 when climbin grades & i haven't seen it get much passed that either
