Have been thinking seriously about turboing my 87 Ranger 4x4. The truck is a daily driver. Would like to get about 250hp out of it. Some questions I have is how streetable is a 250hp 2.3 with a turbo? Can I get it to make boost at about 2000-2500 rpm's up to at least 4500? I live in northern Michigan and drive the truck in the winter. Can I get a turboed truck to drive well in temps that range from -20 to 90 degrees? That is the range of temps that we get here and I will need it to perform well from one extreme to the other. I will be intercooling it if I do it, too. Just want to find this stuff out before I go start rounding up parts for this project.
