Turbo BS Thread

Open loop was fine, of course up until about 6psi. Closed loop would be trying to hold 14.7, but if I lean into the gas, it would slowly richen up.
Currently on 93, yeah.

 

You got a build thread? Or somewhere that has all the needed info compiled into one place?

Also, what is still stock/factory

 

that's freakin awesome. I would guess that 6 psi should put you in the neighborhood of what the 4.0 puts to the ground stock right (with no tune)? I'm still wondering if there is like a ~100cc larger injector that can just be swapped in and the stock ecu make corrections for just like @boostedka and @Jstand are doing with the 1st gens. of course none of this really applies to my since I'm a 1gr, but it seems like a no brainer since once you had all your stuff in, you got the install knocked out in a weekend more or less

 

dat torque curve dough

 

That looks like turbo weather to me.

 

We finally get turbo 2tr going along and Ford is like hey we got an ecoboost ranger coming out.

 

Yeah but who wants a Ford? Lol

 

I found a 96 SX single cab.

Going to be very hard to not buy the Plug N Play Mega squirt and slap a snail on it..

 

I will have a build thread shortly for info about this whole process.
Currently on stock ECU, while I wait to reconnect the AEM FIC. Fuel is 93oct. Exhaust is stock, minus a Magnaflow welded muffler with new piping, and 45° exit.

 

Got DAMNN that's the truth

 

They just sing loud 'n proud in that cold! Makes me wanna pop a breath mint.

 

Bro but Ford Ranger. Of course all of us are going to hate on it. Think it cool a gas turbo 4 banger is finally being offered in a mid size truck. I just need to build my truck to make 400hp now to slap the fan boys into place.

 

That's great news!

 

You 4 banger guys have an easy time with turbos. Only the slightest bit jelly.

 

I'm drawn to the idea of retaining the stock ecu and light exhaust mods. Keeps cost more manageable.
I don't want to throw 14psi into the motor and hope it lasts me another year with the way I drive. I just want a pick me up on my daily 20 mile commute haha

 

We're now the dark side, and our cookies are better



For years people have been saying "just drop in a v6 and be done"

 

Turbo the stock 4banger til it blows, then go v8 or built turbo 4. The v6 is just...meh

 

Ironically enough, my wastegate came preset at 14psi.. That was fun the first time it made boost lol.

 

Got a second block already getting some forged love

 

Turbo v6. Better than both.
