Just kinda curious, would love to see one, and how it was done, and what engine/wiring/etc.
 
I've got a turbo coupe swap in an 87 but idk if thats what you want to see
 
Curious about the coil-sprung trucks, 11 years newer :)

rangers have been coil sprung forever with the exception of 98+ 4x4s and edge models.
 
Gezz Dan, you had it all capaltized right, sentance structure right and the puncuation right. Ever thought about going into a career as a techincal writer? ): had to do it!

I can't imagine it would be too terribly much different. The stupid things hardly ever change, and it was still the same engine block of the 4-cyl at that point. Mounting and everything should be roughly the same.

ZING! Too bad only you an I will get the joke/reference :icon_rofl:

The heater core box on the 98+'s on the pass side, and the steering linkage on the pass side is what I'm curious about. I have no intention in performing this swap since I already have a blown V-8 in mine, but just curious.

I'll see if I can find my friends domain page, he put a 2.3L turbo into his '98.

bad-ass!
 
My buddy didn't swap engines, but he turboed his 2.5..

here it is many moons ago before he turboed it and then tore it apart to redo a bunch of stuff.

He didn't have a cardomain, so I got a couple from his facebook.

New turbo for it on the right (one on the left is a different project).

Told me he would be putting more photos on shortly.

Punctuation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
