turbo questions

[not enoughsmoke]

I bought a 1993 ranger and. I am gonna turbo it I was readin about everyone running about forged pistion are yall mostly talkin about just factory turbo pistons and are yall using stock head bolts or arp head studs

 

[Bill G]

I'm running stock bolts.

 

[not enoughsmoke]

What about ur pistons

 

[not enoughsmoke]

What about ur pistons and how much boost u runnin

 

[Bill G]

I'm running weisco forged pistons and only at 10psi of boost. My rods have ARP bolts in them though.

 

[not enoughsmoke]

Would stock pistons from a factory turbo motor work or not what do u think

 

[tpking]

[Bill G]

Yes the factory turbo forged pistons will work very well.

Have you read this? If not please do.

Thanks man

Yes, stock turbo pistons and rods will hold up to a lot. I ran 25+ psi on they. They held up fine. The block however...

 

[not enoughsmoke]

well what would u say would be ur safe range on boost and whats a good max rpm that wouldnt hurt but still be good to run ?

 

[Davis]

Stick with the stock rev limiter of 6500 (la3) and about 20 psi.

Aright got a parts list 1993 2.3 ranger new forged pistons an rings, rod bearings and mains,arp rod bolts,stock thunderbird turbo and manifold and accel 36lbs injectors high impedance did I for get any thing?

 

[Davis]

What ECU are you going to run, and how do you plan to tune it?

You will need a lot of misc. tubing for oil, water and air plumbing.

I was gonna run the ranger ecu and I will have the misc stuff. Iwas lookin to run about 15psi or 10 psi
