Diesel powered, ALL FORD 05 Ranger


Sorry man, its a long build, basically because EVERYTHING is custom, or had to be found to fit/ work.

Injectors shipped this morning. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricane hitting and heavy rain scheduled for entire week, andmuch of next.......FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
 
no, I understand, and respect your work you have accomplished, if not with but a bit of jealousy. I wish I had the $ to tackle this kind of project.
 
Well, I got the balancer on today, the belt, the radiator, and cross member, and mounted the HP turbo. The LP turbo required a little cutting of the fender well but fits just fine. The Pipe from the LP to the HP turbo had to have the v band flange cut off since the new turbo does not have a V band. I had a boot laying here that some how fits the pipe and the turbo now. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

Well, the flange was made to actually fit the turbo, and I got it mounted up. Had to "trim" a little of the inner fender but it fits pretty nice. Also convenient that the new turbo has a threaded piece right by the compressor outlet to make a strap so it doesn't blow the boot off.

And the radiator is mounted and plumbed and figured I would go ahead and put the grill back on. Injectors get here tomorrow.

Injectors got here today, along with a hurricane. FML I now have everything back. All I need is to get them in, and get one 5.5" to 4" silicone boot for the MAF sensor tube, and air filter element. Oh yeah, and I have family coming in tomorrow till next thursday, then Friday and Saturday is Aquapalooza here on Lake Travis. With any luck though, I can have it ready to go test and tune by July 7th. :nail:

dude I saw the exact same big turbo you have feeding a 396 in a chevelle at the track a couple days ago. that was retarded cool so i imagine your truck 5times more sweet. what is the the intake size? saw a 108mm on a supra one time and almost crapped my pants so you can imagine what happened when i saw the turbo on the chevelle. good to see it coming together and hope to see a vid or 2 soon.

That's pretty clever having the transbrake on the axle instead of the tranny. That should help the driveshaft/u-joints live a little longer.
