Super charged will go how high?

[Countrylife]

Right now I have an 08 with a 2.3l duratech. Overall I want to have a 4 inch susp. Lift with 35 inch tires which I'm not sure is possible or not. If I get a supercharger, with a cold air intake. Let me know what you all think.

Thanks in advanced!

Look at this page from the tech library its a lift and tire fitment guide

I know that it does not have 08's on there but the 07 should be close enough

As for the supercharger, I would avoid it on a 4 cylinder. Go with a turbo kit, which is a little more conventional on a 4 cylinder engine.

Good guide but i'm wondering if my motor can handle it

the rear would have to be regeared, I believe, in order to have 35's, But with a turbo or supercharger it should be able to turn those big tires

Even without any power adders you will be fine. According to my calculations to run a 35" tire you will need to swap in 5.13 gears to maintain near factory performance. You will notice slight handling issues, mileage drop, longer braking distances, and maybe even slight slower accelleration cased by the extra weight of the rotating mass (larger, heavier tires)

I really like your idea of turbo'ing it, but I would suggest if you plan on 35's that you get bigger brakes. I have 33's on my truck and it isn't a happy camper if it has to stop in a short distance.

Everyone that i talked to said that you would almost have to get a custom turbo system for the 2.3L 08 ranger which would cost a pretty penny if some one out there has found a place where you can find that for under 1500 i would love to know lol

the guy on the mazda forum that makes aftermarket turbo kits for the the "3" said he wanted to start making turbo kits for the ranger duratec.
