I have a 1998 2.5L 2wd that I want to put a turbo on for a little better gas milage and some more HP. Im making my own custon manifold, intercooler setup but kind of stupped on what else I need to get it to run right. Injectors? Maf sensor? Engine tuning? Ignition system? Please help!!!!!!!!

Forged crank shaft forged rods better cam and better pistons would be ideal if you wanna run a high boost

Easier to swap in a 2.3 Thunderbird turbo engine

Well i was only thinkin like 10psi max. I really dont want to go through the motor just yet. And iv already got a turbo.

What kinda turbo you got?

Any pictures?

No pics yet but its a garret and has a 2 inch inducer.

If you had the 2.3 engine you could easily find a Thunderbird exhaust and mount it with that.

Does your stock manifold have a square mount where the exhaust attaches or a triangle

Im pretty sure its a triangle but im more concerned about the computer tuning and fuel side of things.

welcome frank from the uk ive got a inj turbo

The min. Psi worth running is 7 psi. you are going to need an xcal-2 tuner a wide band o2 sensor and a 38mm wastegate also sorry I will post list later when I have more time

Dude if you need to know anything about getting a turbocharged ranger to success, go visit TurboRangerForums.com they're really nice I've been there a while under the same name and there's a bunch of people that are really smart. You specifically wanna find a thread on there under LIMA general builds, and then it's a sticky that says "How to make 300rwhp." Even if that's not your goal, you have to do everything in that thread. Plus, there's a ton of project logs on there of people that have already done it, and documented everything in great detail. Definitely check it out man.
