Seems like there are still unanswered questions when you start building a performance engine for the Ranger. Like what exactly to do for a balancer delete and little things that are common on the car versions. My concern with a turbo upgrade is if I spend the money on an upgraded stock turbo...

What is the benefit of deleting the balance? (I'm really interested so go ahead and nerd out I'm listening)

Oh wow so the actual lugs or bosses on the casting are the same!? Has this been proven? What's your source? Lol

Gotcha, yea that makes sense to me. Did you buy a new turbo and send it in or they have the new turbo and upgrade it? I'm just wondering if there is any concern with sending a used turbo or if it's no problem. Like in my case I have 59k miles.

So what are all the options for a turbo upgrade? CR Performance Stage 3 or 4 What else?

So why a new turbo and not send in yours?

I hadn't driven my truck all summer. I have a new little Kia Rio to drive to work and I put nano ceramic tint on it, 5% rear windows and 25% front windows. Doesn't take too long to start getting cold in there. Got in my truck and felt the difference but maybe it's just the heat. I have to keep...

I think my only real options that offer strength are either swapping to an f150 rear end with taller gears or a custom 9" that's trussed. I think I did see a truss for our D44's but I don't remember where.

Same. How do I add freon? Don't you add it one of those cold side or hot side ports?

Yep it's a known fact to have the transmission built for "heavy towing" on the single cab f150's

57mm? And is it around 2k price-wise?

Oh yea the guy with the fastest Maverick! So is it the same turbo we have or is it different entirely or what is a big wheel stock hot side turbo?

Where did you order your turbo from and which one and did you order a new one or sent your current turbo?

Answer: buy method bead grips and bfg ko2's they will survive the apocalypse and are great for everyday driving. You're welcome my friend. https://www.methodracewheels.com/collections/bead-grip-wheels

Maybe I'm not understanding something right so help me out here. Aren't all of these engine castings specific to Ecoboost cars (mustang, focus, fiesta) AND have locations for the motor mounts in specific locations which won't bolt up to the Ford Ranger?

Thanks. I finally ordered the mishi intercooler and pipes after how many years? Lol. I'm on 35" tires and would like the turbo to spool a little faster. Guess the only thing I'm missing is an upgraded turbo. I'm currently at 59k and wondering if it matters on the miles the turbo has if you send...

Do intercooler pipes reduce turbo lag and increase low end torque?

Yep, school project lmao. They look like chewed up gum ? but it looks nice from about 20 feet

Got my tie rods installed and my alignment but the mechanic said I need to replace my upper control arm bushings because they have play. Got some at home that I ordered from Dirt King.
