All that work and money for how much hp gain? just wondering.... Not a lot of info about people putting turbos or super chargers on a ranger and I think there's a good reason for that. I love rangers but they were just way under powered no matter what engine you got, eco boosts included. I see why everyone builds up a chevy engine, parts are cheap and always available with tons of info on how people do it.
So, depends on which cologne.
The sohc I'll be 800-1000 in to push 3.5 - 5.5 psi into it with methanol. Should put my rwhp in the 225+ range, which is what I'm looking for.
The other two big reasons for me to do the Banshee/Moddbox hybrid kit is to put torque back into the low end of the SOHC. it's had considerably more with the AFE intake and 340lph fuel pump, but still not enough low end torque for my liking.
Remember, peak numbers are bragging rights. I see the blower kit as a means to get what I'm after, a flatter torque curve.
Right at where I typically run the engine, the 1500-2500 rpm range, is the biggest torque gain. So, with a lot of the parts 70-75% off their original prices right now, I figured it was worth it.
The other reason is that I'm not stopping at 8psi on the 2.9. I'm going to have to learn to tune and how to work with the engine until I hit my eventual goal, the 400+ club, which means somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 psi. I know the engines will do it, I watched one do it in 2008/9 in Switzerland (didn't know it was a 2.9 at the time), so that's become my goal. So the 2011 is a bit of a Guinea pig for the tuning side.
