The main reason I was trying to use both harnesses was to use some of the factory connections for the vam and baro to use on the engjne with a speeduino setup, since we have a global chip shortage and the ecu I want is out of stock, the idea is now scrapped. I’ll be going to a pimpx.
I thankfully have the intact engine to swap parts from, on the fence about ditching the original dizzy for the packs. The dual plug head I have is original to the truck and it’s a iffy engine to begin with the original engine has over 200k on it vs my 79k turbo motor. Assuming if I do swap...
Definitely is a great point of reference.
noticed you deleted the intercooler, any idea if the functional hood ducting can be easily modified to the ranger from the turbocoupe? The secondary dis ignition was wired to keep the coil pack did you ground out the first or second one or use a...
When you’re ready I’ll gladly take a walkthrough of your build so I can mimic the build. Especially since your experienced with this swap. Shoot me a message. Thanks
I had an issue like this somewhat similar and it ended up being a clogged up catalytic converter. Different manufacturer and vehicle, but it demonstrated some of the same symptoms.

I have the vam ecu and harness from the engine additional accessories as well. My initial thought is what all needs to be removed and replaced during the swap? I know I’ll be removing the dryer and lines corresponding. What else ? Notch the hood? Cowl? Any...
Tried that, and the area still was not able to have enough clearance to run the truck. Used a block of wood and a jack to push the area up, without a million hammer marks.
I used the axle flip bracket which has a relocation hole that is aimed towards the front offset location. Spring is relocated under the axle. The driveshaft is rubbing under the rear of the cab, I recently swapped the 2 piece over to the aluminum 1 piece from a 99 ext cab 2wd 5 spd ranger.
This was a few days ago, for some reason I couldn’t add my photo. Anyways…. Driveshaft swap goodbye carrier bearing, hello 99’ aluminum shaft. Smooth as silk and just yanked the bracket.
