Default 09' Ranger 2.3L mods?

Hey guys,

I've tried looking around for mods for a 09' 2.3L ranger and have come up empty. Other than a drop-in filter from K&N, which I already have, what else is out there? I was planning to get a cold air intake from K&N, but none of their air intake systems fit my application. Anyone know of any Exhaust mods? Chips? etc...?

Thanks,

Santiago

you can get a demon coil pack, CAI, Exhaust, chip, programmer, maybe replace the Cam. Its all up to you though. I cant tell you what to buy or what to put on your truck. Its all personal preferance I can just tell you what can help add some HP mind you it wont be much. you bought a ranger not a ferrari. ©terryduanemiller

Thumbs up Re: 09' Ranger 2.3L mods?

you have emission testing? be cautious of exhaust mods, 40 series flowmaster with 3" pipe all the way out, buy a tuner/programmer? 30lb injectors, cams, adjustable cam gears, dont waste your money on cold air intake.

Yeah I know I won't be breakin any speed record hahah...thanks for the recommendations though, I think i'm leaning towards putting in a chip in the future and getting a bully dog programmer. Exterior wise, I'm planning to get some fog lights and an HID kit...assuming i get some left over cash LOL

im in the process of crossing off the list of stuff that he just told you about but the ranger and ESPECIALLY the 2.3L its VERY hard to find any tuners/performance chips, i can only find one from jet chips number 80527 (thats for my 2005) and i havent found a single programmer so if you find one please keep me posted!

happy modding.
