Isn’t this the post that ultimately got that guy (wvranger)??? Removed? He made a post about not being able to have fun or something?

All 2.3 Ecoboosts are open deck. Period. 2.0 is closed deck and is used in high ho applications with 2.3internal parts but not on Ranger because of the aforementioned oil pump issues.

Like I said, no sleeves, no supports. It only lasted a season or less in a dedicated race car.

It was a STOCK block with rods and pistons. No support, no sleeves. It was a literal time bomb. Sleeves are stronger than supports in every way. You can bore aftermarket sleeves as well. More boost is not always more power fyi. In fact almost all of the aftermarket tunes for our trucks run near...

I just learned about a couple weeks ago. A member of my Facebook group was involved in the process.

“Built” is a term. It doesn’t define what is necessarily done to it. This car was a stock block record car and his builder didn’t want to use a deck support. If you want a built motor with sleeves or a support you have to specify that. After sleeving comes the side of the block that is prone to...

I’m interested in this and the defroster vent pod from Aeroforce but I can’t justify the price right now.

Yeah, I’m not sure what is truly different between all the parts but I have done a pile of research. I’ll tell you that we made 495/435 to the wheels with race gas on a 15 ecoboost Mustang a few years ago. It needed a lot of turbo to get there, not happening on the stock type turbo in my...

The new turbo is probably a smart move since it seems that turbos don't last forever. Not saying yours is worn out but it isn't a spring chicken. I bought a pre made new unit from him, it's less complicated and is easier to stand behind if there are problems.

The balancer in non Ranger applications is normally deleted to reduce rotating mass and parasitic drag. It is heavy, large and appears to spin around two times faster than the crankshaft. It looks like a small roots blower. I believe deleting it is still possible on our trucks but it will...

The Ranger block has a unique oil pump configuration, it’s driven by the balancer assembly rather than by chain like the RS and Mustang does. This also complicates deleting the balance.

Because they are cheap new, and I’ll keep my original one in case I need to change things around later or whatever. I don’t want to be without a turbo if I was to have to remove the upgrade for some reason. Besides I can’t leave my truck apart for all that time and pay extra shipping etc. This...

Yessir

It’s a brand new stock Ranger turbo with a machined compressor housing and bigger billet wheel. Also bullet tip and coated are options.

I got it from a guy with a Maverick actually. It’s called Fast Mavericks on Facebook. I can put you in contact with him if you’re interested. I’ll also be doing a dyno before and after with a few other parts comparisons too once I get it. It’s a big wheel stock hot side turbo.

What gear was that pull made in? The torque is unusually high for the horsepower. Usually those numbers are much closer together on our trucks especially when you don’t have a bunch of other modifications.

Yes, no, maybe…. They reduce lag which increases the response everywhere. If you’re tuned or at least on 93, you’ll get some torque.

Stock turbo, full bolt on including turbo inlet pipe. My truck makes 332/367 to the wheels on 93 with stock tires. New turbo coming soon but I really don’t expect much more from it without using ethanol. It would be nice to get 350/390 but idk. If I can stretch the fuel system a little bit I’ll...

You can get a deck support added to your block for around $1k. Or have it sleeved instead which would be more reliable for a power level that high. I also would expect to need a much bigger turbo rather than using “upgraded stock” The transmission driveshaft and rear will be showing their...
