Is the 7.3 Idi a Good Engine?
As Far as Factory Built Engines Go, the 94 Factory Turbocharged 7.3L Idi Is Quite Possibly the Best Engine Ever Put into a Pickup. the Idi Is a Very Good Motor...
.
Similarly, it is asked, how many miles can you get out of a 7.3 Idi?
Registered. IIRC, the B50 life on a 7.3L (T444E) is 350,000 miles. Meaning, if you had a significant number of them, and maintained them properly without abuse, 50% of them would still be running after 350,000 miles.
One may also ask, does a 7.3 Idi have a turbo? The 7.3 IDI was only offered naturally aspirated until the 1993 model year, where a turbocharged version became optional. The 7.3L IDI was far from winning any races, but its high compression ratio gave it "snappy" throttle response and it had enough torque to meet the towing needs of F-Series pickup owners.

What's the difference between the 7.3 IDI and 7.3 Powerstroke?
The basic difference is the IDI is indirect injected (injector behind intake valve). The powerstroke is direct injected (injection direct into the combustion chamber). The IDI has small cheap reliable mechanical injectors. The powerstroke has larger, expensive, oil fired injectors.
