93 brodozer turbo coupe swap

[dvmulisha]

So this is where im at



93 ranger long bed single cab
already had t5 tranny
8.8 w/ 4.56 gearing trussed
custom leafpacks
33 bfgs
15'' centerlines
cobra brakes with 13'' slotted/drilled rotors









extended beams coilovers yada yada. so went and and bought a $500 monte carlo from auction which has turned out to be a great little car. so i can get to where i need to be for work and blew apart the truck in a couple hours .







had a 2.3 and what god awfully slow , I found a 86 t.c. got the complete motor , bellhousing new clutch/flywheel , rebuilt turbo and found out when i brought motor too machine shop that it had recently been gone through.

day i got it , picked it up in my monte carlo drove 160 miles to get from casa grande to phx






So i replaced all the gaskets , bearing had really no wear at all. journals and cylinder walls were gorgeous.
painted the motor

set the motor in with no issues









i did stingers wiring swap and it all very straight forward. im aware this was a 86 but im using a la3 computer and big vam awaiting for it in mail actually.

this is my harness


basically where im at is dealing with the bap sensor wiring, i dont know where the stock map sensor for the ranger is and im pretty sure i dont have one soooooo i have to either wire from ecu which stinger actually told me which pins to do it.

anyone else have this issue?

I ordered a front mount intercooler from treadstone , 2.5 intercooler piping , la3 ,

any advise or pointers will be appreatied

What's the deal with the stinger setup is it a whole stand alone ecm or is it just a kit to run the stock la3 ?? Or does is run over top the la3 to make it a more manageable ecm system??

the stinger pimp ecu is basically a megasquirt ecu built into the factory ecu box.

Ah, good ol 2.3 turbo. Fun stuff. My turbo ranger just put 523 to the wheels with this engine. I can probably help with most questions that you have. Let me know

How about some specs on how you hit 523WHP? I'm a few miles from you.

Sounds legit Mike, better watch out.

 

[redhurricane]

Seeing the posts from the past on his build, I am finding it real hard to believe.

"Big turbo" LOL

Pic proof. and a dyno sheet as well.

 

[nesralyrrej]

Big turbo is a holset hx35.

I'll get the dyno sheet in the next couple days lol, or if you're actually near me I'll gladly let you see it

Hey man what kind of turbo are you using and what rpm you start to get full boost.

 

[nesralyrrej]

Couple posts after this you'll see I was using a holset hx35, I hit 22psi at 3700 rpm, since this post I changed my turbo to a precision 6262 and am hitting 22psi at 3100
