Hello all!

See I have some posting PM/restrictions as maybe I forgot to do an introduction.

I’m working on a 2.3t swap in a 1993 single cab 2wd Ranger. 

Truck already has Sport Trac front rotor upgrade with dual piston calipers,disc brake Explorer 8.8 assembly w/ Explorer springs,alum DS and 2” lift shackle.

Running Bilsteins,drilled/slotted rotors w/ SS brake lines all around. 17x9 Cobra R’s all around w/ 1” billet spacers,245/50/17 front,275/55/17 rear. No other suspension mods but I am looking at changing the front springs just becuase they’re stock 200k+ 

Engine setup is a built 2.3 with the following parts:

89-94 Ranger block setup for DIS
.030 CP pistons 
Crower rods
Race Engineering modified AUX bearing
Esslinger adj Round tooth Cam/Aux gears
Gates blue timing belt
Boport Stage 3 w/ 2.1 cam and beehive springs
Boport Stage 4 upper/lower intake for 70mm TB
Kirban adj fp reg
BBK 70mm tb
BigR Tb adapter 
BigR flipped log style header for Ranger
3” Ultimate WG from Boport
Full 3” mandrel bent exhaust 
BNR Supercars “Thunderbird” 50 trim upgrade in stock .63 housing
80# Seimens injectors 
pimpx v2.1
Broader rmvb c4 w/ PTC “Pinto” conv
Alky Control meth kit
TurboSmart Eboost 40 

And a few other little odds and ends,nothing too exotic.

Hoping to have a fairly reliable but rowdy 350ish rwhp. Should be fun in a 2800# Ranger.

I know it’s pretty quite in here but just wanted to say all that and that Turbo 2.3 Lima’s are cool AF😎

WELCOME to TurboFord, broke1 Smile ~ what's your name?

2800 lbs seems light for a gen 3 twin I-beam Ranger (reg cab, short bed?) ~ have you actually weighed it? I ran my 87 2.3T "short" Ranger across a certified truck scale shortly after I first got it, and it came in at 3120 lbs gross (1760 frt/1360 rear). BTW, what is a "BNR Supercars" turbo - is that a brand name? Chinese? Can I ASSume that you're using an intercooler? Pump gas or E85?  <shrug>
