is it possible to turn the 2.5l diesel engine in to the turbo version they do
The engine is in a 1999 ranger
The 2.5 l engine derives from the 2.3 engine
The 2.5 engine comes in a turbo and none turbo state
Both 2.5 engines are pretty much the same in the sence they have the same forged internals

My question is what would be needed to turbo the none turbo model

I'm thinking turbo, manifold, intercooler, catch can and oil cooler

What I'm unsure about is do I have to have anything like a ecu for the turbo or along the lines of that
 
Not too familiar with the 2.5L diesel ranger motor, and am quite sure they didn't offer that option in the states, but one can turbo any engine, gas, diesel, propane, or otherwise. Key to it is research. I'm sure with it being that new that you will have to either flash the ECU, or attain the turbo ECU. I'd be certain to say you also need the turbo injector pump and turbo injectors. If it has a MAF, you would need that as well as the harness that goes with it, I'm sure there is more, and I would be interested in playing with one of these myself...

It's just a thought at the moment, I stuck a bigger turbo on a golf mk4/ rabbit but as far as I know or was told the ranger of my year does not have a ecu as such?
 
Again, we don't have these in the states, but if it was designed by ford and it is a 99 model, I would think that they took some technology from the powerstroke and used it on the 2.5L diesel...I can't confirm this however, as I have no experience with this engine...
