My 96 Turbo Ranger

[Dddaviso7]

Just thought it was time to show off my latest, mostly complete, project truck.

Interior Modifications: T5 Trans, Racing buckets ( El Cheapo's!), Boost gauge and pyrometer on the A-Pillar, LED's behind the stock gauges, and a pioneer headunit.

Under the hood: 1987 Thunder Turbocoupe 2.3l, Gutted/Rotated intake, FMIC, Garret .60/.63 Turbo, Stinger center mount header, Homemade adjustable boost gauge, dual core radiator, and Electric fan. More to come!!

[Viper Command]

Nice build, do have any hp or ft-lbs numbers yet?

 

[reggioisme]

looks good...im sure you probably have the boost bug if not you will soon!

 

[Dddaviso7]

Sorry for the huge time delay in responding. Thank you guys!

I have no numbers on her yet, but the bug bit the day I started it up! lol I have a litle list of parts waiting to be purchased or installed, Once i have it around 18psi, I'll have it professionally tuned and dyno'd.

that looks clean, did you swap in a different trans? why is the shifter so far back?

 

[josh-the-ranger]

Looks like you put a t5 in? Post a video of some burn outs?

 

[Dddaviso7]

Yea, That is a T5.

I was involved in an accident a few weeks back.... Once I replace the radiator and fan, I'll be able to do some video's. Since the front end is going to be replaced, I'm planning on doing an 01 front conversion. I'll post before, durings, and afters.

Posted pictures below, it's worse then it looks. The fenders are both bent outwards, the core support is shot, header panel damaged around the headlights, hood is dented a bit (not bad though), and the impact broke my motor/trans mounts and threw the engine/trans about 3-4 inches forward. I have the motor/trans back in place and it's mechanically sound. Just need the parts mentioned above for the cooling system.

I can only wish that one day I have a turbocharged ranger

 

[Dddaviso7]

It's an addiction! Once you have one, you'll want to turbo charge everything haha

Pulling the motor to replace the oil pan and gasket. Tried to use the aluminum pan from a 96... Bad choice!

My 2 Non daily drivers.

After The accident! Sad day... But luckily no one was hurt.
