If I weren't so lazy, I'd keep digging to find this in an existing post string.

What is the max boost on the Ranger's 2.3, and what is the resulting effective displacement?

I've gone easy on my Ranger during break-in. But I have goosed it a few times to 4K rpm. Wow.
My previous experience with a turbo is our Dart Aero with FCA (Fiat) 1.3L turbo. Also wow.

I bought the Ranger to replace a 21 yr old snaggle toothed Durango for boat towing. 17% more hp, 6% less torque than the old 5.2 L blunderbuss. Also 67% more towing capacity.

Most peak boost numbers seem to be around 21psi from what I have seen. Not sure about effective displacement/

I did some more web digging. The calculations in the link below make sense to me. According to this, 17 psi boost yields a displacement of 4.96L.

This doesn't sound too wild. My Ranger's performance specs compared to my old 5.2L N/A above seem to verify. I'm putting my faith in God and Ford that the bottom end of the 2.3 is built to take it.

I guess its interesting to think about, but "effective displacement" doesnt really mean to much. You can learn a lot more by looking at a dyno graph.
