That's pretty cool. I always liked the idea of a turbo B2. Where are you planning on mounting the IC? If you're going anywher near the mud and rocks, I'd count out an FMIC.

The body lines are different, but you can just stick the Explorer grille on with a 2nd generation Ranger/Bronco II clip and to the causual observer it would look the same.

Looks like a fun project, keep us posted!

do you want to sell the brush guard?

 

[dieselboy740]

its not worth the shipping.. jy it.
Does anyone have a dash/ gauge wiring diagram for these things. the 2.8 dash doesn't have a tach so i got one out of another ranger in the back yard but the wiring is fubar.
We just put new fuel lines and a 2.9 tank in it. I have a volvo inline fuel booster pump that were going to run for now.

 

[dieselboy740]

we got it running but as soon as it get into any kind of boost it craps out were trying to figure it out...

 

[dieselboy740]
