Hey everyone I'm new to this forum and infact fairly new to rangers also. I've been a mustang owner for 5 years and am no stranger to ford engines big and small. I have however never owned a turbo car and that's where I would like to hear from you all! I'm starting my first ranger build and the truck has a 2.5 5speed right now. I don't really care what engine goes in the truck at the end of the day all i really want is something that makes between 300 and 400 ftlbs at the tires. Can this really be done with a built 2.5 and it not be a peaky mess? I'm not looking for peak power i prefer a nice linear torque curve. Like i said I'm new to turbos and a little afraid of lag and spikey power curves. Any lima turbo owners out there want to weigh in? Should i follow my instincts and drop a 5.0 in this thing or branch out and take on something new?
