any of you read dieselpower the mag,i just got the new one today and their is a small story of a ranger with a cummins that has a supercharger and twin-turbos thay are shooting for 1300 hp,pick up the mag it is in their,not making it up.

 

there was a thread about this a while ago ... its a desert racer on the salt flats and its ot really a ranger just the shell ... buts its really cool ...

 

this one is street legal and it looks like a stock 03,and it is not the one on the salt flats.

 

Ide like to see pics of that!

 

pick up the dieselpower mag 3 pics of it.

 

I'd like to put one of those in my truck, I haven't seen on in a ranger yet but I've read up on one in a explorer.

 

Are you talkin about the newest issue or a later one because ive got all of them and the only pics ive seen were of the salt flat truck thats trying to break the worlds fast diesel pickup set by the cummins/banks dodge dakota. In the Feb. 07 Vol. 3 NO. 2 they have a wish list for diesel swaps and the 4.5l v6 powerstroke into a ranger is number 4.

 

The rocket ranger is in Dec. 06 Vol.2 No. 10 page 33. Its 6.0L with a custom HyperMax intercooled twin turbo setup. This truck in 03 was clocked @ 222 mph, but didnt set any records becauce of tech. difficulties.

 

ONLY 1300? a super charger and 2 turbos.. seems like they could pass 1300 pretty easily

 

Yeah but with Diesels there is almost always more torque than HP. I bet its got foundation ripping torque!

 

yea, true but still..

 

got a link for it

 

BS till someone scans this in

 

99XLTOffroad mentioned something along these lines in the powerstroke swap thread started by blackbetty

 

with 1300 HP, it would have to be a COMPLETE custom built/engineered frame.......that much power would rip a stock Ranger frame in half 100x.....

 

Look here around 7pm . It's awesome zack i swear.

July '07 issue of Diesel Power Page 66. I will scan it and put them up.

(You know i wouldn't lie about a Diesel)

 

It's not the HorsePower that twist's, its the Torque.

 

yea but if a diesel makes 1300 HP, can you imagine what the TQ numbers are=?....i can....they would be ungodly...

 

Tis true, but I felt compelled to straighten out that tiny bit of disassociation. :)

There it is. Dana 44 front axle. Ford 8.8 rear. Custom four link suspension and boxed and reinforced frame.

 

I'm in love.

 

all I can say dayum!! I can't imagine the G force on accleration in that beast. -Mike-

 

 

8.8 rear and Dana 44 front with that much power and torque hope they have PLENTY of spare parts......that thing should be riding on a Dana 80 rear and Dana 60 fronts...

 

You know, if somebody would ask nicely I think i can pull some strings and get this full article online... I'm kinda close with the Online Editor of Diesel Power...
