Can you turbo a 3.0L v6 gas ranger w/o deleting the AC?
Wanted to look into throwing a turbo on my ranger and the only video i found on youtube, the guy does an AC delete. The summers are hot where I live and I still would like to daily the truck. Is an AC delete avoidable? it’s a 3.0L V6 gas rwd truck. Extended cab too.

3.0l Vulcan is not a good candidate for boost, which is why you don't see much out there, 4 cylinders are better
Do a bit more reading on adding Boost to any engine, its cost and resulting gain in power
Also Supercharging, Morana racing has 3.0l supercharger intake, and you can keep AC, they take up less real estate: Tom Morana Racing Engines
Engine bay real estate is why the AC was removed, V6 engines in Rangers fill the engine bay up pretty well
You can do anything, with a body lift you can gain some extra space, but hard to get more width for turbos
V8 gets more power with AC, lol, and the 302 fits in Ranger engine bay
