no they dont make kits for it the best thing t odo is either swap and svo or turbo coupe motor into the ranger or rebuild the block you have with forged parts and take the turbo and stuff from a svo or t/c

check this out

I just came across this( sorry if it is old news) , is pretty badass really , looks like a decent product and then check out the ebay page for links to the other turbo forum, where there is a ton of info and you could piece together a pretty nice set up

Try the mazda 3/ ford focus 2.3 turbo kits. We share the same block as the mazda3/ focus.

The best way to get power out of the 2.3L, would to just go all motor, with forged pistons, intake, exhaust.... its not a power house, but the block is strong enough to take the HP u put in it...What about NOS?

The Mazda and focus guys are making really nice numbers going F/I, but I'm not sure all the turbo parts would fit on a Ranger
