im glad to see that someone else did the turbo ranger swap pm me with all info on how you did it!!
i really honostly wanna know i got a motor and a perfectly good turbo waiting but then i might sell em both because it just seems difficult...
heres what i was told and correct me if i am wrong at all please....
the n/a 2.3 block is the identical block and the turbo one but the turbo block has a little less compression...
its easier to just bolt the turbo on the n/a block repin the ecu and run turbo injectors
installing a t-5 transmission would make you have to eliminate the middle seat due to the shifter hitting it and its more efficent because of the coil packs and 8 spark plugs you dont have to worry about the boost cutting the spark out...
i was told and im probbly restating it all but...
if i take my turbo pistons outta my turbo block re ring them get a turbo ecu or (repin it) get the browntip injectors a good headgasket all oil lines and some piping i should be able to push under 10 psi no problems??
because if its a very complicated swap i am just gonna sell the block and turbo and just get the v-8 conversion motor mounts and buy a 5.0 ho motor and a c-4 transmission and have that to play with..
pm me though with all you know i will rep you beyond all reconigition with all info you can give me...
thanks
