"I have been communicating with Kyle Sargent at Ford Performance, and he has told me that they are indeed working on an Air/Oil Separator System for the Ranger. I am thinking that it will be very similar to the existing system available for the Mustang with the 2.3L Ecoboost engine. The Mustang...
I inquired of LEER customer service about the undocumented materials in the kit. Back in Post #49, I quoted their response for the use of the butyl tape, but later I was told that the foam strips were indeed to be used to fill in the approximately 1 inch gap at the top of the front bulkhead.
I, for one, am in agreement with David's statement above. Our turbo motor requires a good air to air intercooler efficiency to keep the air density high as it is injected by our motor providing good power efficiency. In my opinion, having the intake tract coated with oil would negatively...
These throttle controllers not only boost the signal according to the mode selected, but they also make the signal more linear, more like the direct control you would have with a throttle cable.
That being said, in my research i am preferring the "Sprint Booster" because I would prefer to have a...
Regarding driving with panel locked in the upright position, here are the notes from Leer's website:
Cover can be latched with the tailgate closed (competitors can't)
Auxiliary safety buckles standard - no more blowoffs
Panels can be held in a stowed upright position during travel
Panels...
Yes, I have had several e-mail communications with Kyle Sargent of Ford Performance, that YES they were working on one. He has a post-it note at his computer reminding him to e-mail me when it is ready. I will be sure to post that information as soon as I receive it.
The Mustang Left and Right independent systems will most likely function the same, but you would need to fabricate mounting brackets, etc because the body mounting locations will be very different. As soon as Ford Performance releases their Ranger version it will be posted on their site, and...

It seems shameful that Ford machines rotors that they determine to have runout while the vehicle is under warrantee.
By doing this they effectively reduce the life of the rotors by making them thinner.
Honoring the warrantee should mean new rotor replacement.
With these Eibach shocks, the fronts will accommodate a 0" - 3" lift with factory springs, and 3" - 3 3/4" lift with Eibach springs
The rears will accommodate a 0" - 3" lift, but need a spacer or different springs to facilitate the actual lift.
* This information is for 4X4, I do not know...
For those interested in using the Eibach front shocks with the factory springs, here is a !ink to the installation instructions:

As I have been further researching catch cans and their varied performance abilities, I came upon the RX Dual Valve System.
On youtube, FordTechMakuloko covers an installation, but on a V configured engine. Their system takes a vacuum source from the PCV (non-boost) as well as from the turbo...
For what its worth, I am thinking about installing Eibach shocks with factory springs when I get my non-FX4 Ranger.
Mine will be run mostly on pavement, so I prefer a more controlled, non-bouncy ride.
The front set come with five circlip notches for locating the OEM spring perch.
These notches...
Thank you Ray, now I understand what I was looking at in your photo.
Am I correct in understanding that this a standalone upgrade that is beneficial without adding a tune?
Regard throttle body boring, can you explain what you mean by the 2.3 being a nightmare inside?
Also, can you please tell me how this can improve throttle response and increase gas mileage?
Is the throttle body that much of a restriction on this turbo motor?
I won't be ordering my Ranger until this winter, but I have been following this upgrade (and others) for a while.
Seeing that the piston might need re-oiling on occasion, I will be installing heli-coils in the plastic base that the 3 screws
screw into.
EDIT: On second thought, I am not...
Regarding those who may be inclined to separate the driveshaft and grease the splines, I would suggest marking the position of the two sections so that they can be assembled the same as originally.
I am making this recommendation due to the phasing issue that Phil brought up in his earlier posting.
