Stock Turbo

[Wytchdctr]

I tried to search and failed.

What the hell is bolted to the exhaust manifold of our trucks stock?

Not planning to change it. Just curious/would like to plot the stock setup across it's compressor efficiency map for shits and giggles.

So good luck on changine manifold. Reason being the Manifold is built into the cylinderhead. As for what you are talking about you would have to take a picture and show. Maybe you are talking about the electronic wastegate actuator? Without you showing its hard to say.

No. I was simply curious what the stock turbo is bolted to said manifold. I saw maybe a K03 but it wasn't confirmed. I have zero interest in unbolting it. Just curious and Google failed me.

Or I've had one too many and I failed Google. Either way we are stuck not knowing and wanting to know for no good reason.

That is the engine block.

That is the engine block.

Absolutely correct. I was curious what was on the other end.

Just as @NOVA_Ranger just said it is bolted to the cylinderhead. Not much you can really do

Tracking it is one with the head. Just curious what snail is part of that assembly. Ford doesn't make them as far as I know.

Not to sure what manufacturer Ford uses right off. Could be Borg Warner(if they still make turbochargers) or it could be Garrett. Or it could be Ford since they do.have some odd ball stuff

I think it is Garrett but again, Google wasn't helpful. Probably because they easily handle stock + mods without issue AND the manifold is one with the head so who changes them?

 

[Wytchdctr]

The origin of this question came from me and a better gear head than me talking when he asked what I had under the hood. Me.... "Uhhhh... A turbo.. make boost. Go zoom".

:-/

 

[Frenchy]

So maybe you have had a few too many??

My suggestion is get a picture in the morning of what you are talking about(pointing helps too) and then we can help you more

 

[Wytchdctr]

You answered the question already with not sure., But...

Turbo

Spins when exhaust gas passes by; compresses air on the cold side.

Who makes the bit that spins? <- original question

They typically have a hot and cold side number/name due to the size of either (Mitz as an example) but not all of them.


I'm not trying to dig deep here at all. Not even that important. The stock one will stay and will be replaced with stock if it happens to blow up in the future.

 

[Frenchy]

Gotcha, yeah so that is the turbine side. Simply put the exhaust goes into the turbo and spins the turbine wheel. After that it leaves the turbo and heads down the exhaust for other magical things. As for the waste gate it will open usually when peak boost or desired boost has been reached to keep the turbo from overboosting. It can also stick open under deceleration since you are trying to slow down.

Below is a basic cutout

It’s definitely a Borg Warner. Specifically designed for the 2.3L application. No advertised frame size( example K03) for this turbo as is it application specific. There may be data for wheel sizes available but you’ll have to dig for it.

I tried and failed to find specifics, but thank you for the reply. I think you are right, might be a one off for the Ranger based on lack of info. Built to Ford specs vs a standard size by Borg W.

Now I'm curious if it's the same across all 2.3 applications. ... .... .. might as well let that one go.
