It’s molded plastic.

It’s a little cheap. Like by a thousand dollars cheap!

Not an upgrade though

Cam phaser solenoids. You can replace those seals if you really want to. I’d just buy a new valve cover.

Right. Like I said… then you know that different systems and combinations work/respond differently. It’s really not important that you tuned a Saturn, we’re discussing a 19-23 Ranger. It’s not even the same as tuning an ecoboost Mustang for that matter.

I’m assuming you tune these trucks often enough to know that.

Exactly! Almost all of the stock turbo Rangers with tunes have a ridiculous torque spike, it’s there because it’s hard to flatten. Hitting the stock turbo hard down low causes it to run out of steam earlier than actually tuning it to work throughout the rpm range. These engines make power past...

maybe I should make a few.

I don’t have the tailgate assist. I don’t even use my bed!

We do Coyotes all the time. They are very impressive! My 86 is turbo and it still barely makes as much power as a bolt on Coyote!

Exactly! We don’t even notice a power difference on the dyno anymore between newer auto and manual vehicles because the converters lock up and are also very efficient.

I disagree, they tend to stay below 1500 while gently accelerating, they even shudder at times, I’ve watched it on datalogs, they most certainly lug themselves against a locked torque converter all the time. The locked converter makes it the same thing as a manual as far as how it’s coupled to...

I mean upgrade, of course it already has pumps.

The lugging is terrible regardless, google LSPI and you’ll see. We have a 10:1 compression engine running over 20psi, it needs octane badly.

The knock sensors will control knock but that low timing from 87 is actually pretty hard on the engine. I’m not OP but I only noticed fuel dilution over 5k miles on the oil and especially when cold. It was like that with gas and not much different with ethanol. In the winter my catch can fills...

The inefficiencies are not an issue. It’s the excessive amount of fuel that is doing all the cooling. (Think like a well controlled meth kit) We have found e30 to be enough ethanol to maintain consistent performance while not overtaxing the stock pumps. I’m considering installing an in tank pump...

I’ve been running e30 for a couple years. I made just under 400hp to the wheels and would never have done it without ethanol.

Mustang doesn’t have much in common with Ranger. The engines are quite different. The engine management is substantially different. Even if it bolted on (mounting flange and downpipe flanges are different) the oil and water lines are a little different and the wastegate is pneumatic instead of...

yup! I mix mine at the pump. E85 and 93 octane. E30 on our trucks is awesome, even on a stock turbo I made over 350whp!

I did, look up
