intake

As I've written previously, I own a 1992 F250 with the pre-Powerstroke 7.3 liter V8. My truck is equipped with an ATS 088 turbocharger kit and the matching 3" exhaust. The previous owner did not take any care of the truck whatsoever, and many leaks were "fixed" with an overgenerous application of silicone. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that the turbo oil return was open to the air when I found a great deal of water in my oil pan which could only have come across the hood, behind the water seal which I'd disturbed while replacing the wiper motor, and run down through the oil return grommet. This prompted me to tear into my truck again, and while I was there fixing all the other leaks, I decided to finally trim up my custom intake.

Here are some pictures of a custom intake I built for My 1992 F250 diesel with ATS turbo kit. The intake was originally adapted from a MY1997+ Subaru Impreza intake to fit my former 1993 Impreza LS. I did that work with a hack saw and the addition of a mass air flow (MAF) sensor adapter; For this job I brought out the miter saw with grinding cut-off wheel, which goes through cheap aluminum like what this pipe's made of as if it were nothing, and which makes much better cuts.
