Hello my name is alex. im 22 and live in mooresvill indiana. i have had this truck since 16 and have been wrenching on it since. i am normally on TRF turborangerforums.com but have ventured out onto this forum and RPS.. so hello from indiana..

 

nice truck man

 

Welcome man. Nice truck. I live in Bargersville. Didnt realize that you lived so close to me. Did you turbo it yourself? If so, when we gonna do mine? lol

 

He needs to post some current pics. it has a stepside bed now due to an unfortunate chain of events lol. the motor is getting rebuilt and the truck is getting some different goodies then what it had before, i won't spill all the beans for him. i can't wait til we get her runnin again tho.

 

thank you guys! yeah i live close robert. just a few miles away.. anytime your ready to start tearing into it. i would just go with a turbcoupe motor with like a LA3 computer to keep it simple and reliable.. stock internals hold like 400 rwhp or something crazy.. Yeah Chris i can't wait either!

 

badass! pics of the engine bay??

 

Thank You! I didnt like the setup i had here.. It was way to hard to work on in the truck and i still had A/C and it was just in the way so i hacked it out this time.. doing a lot of different things this time around..:)

 

Gosh that looks good

 

looks damn good

has me lookin for turbo coupes and older rangers now lol :X

 

thank you!

also older cugars x-r7, thunderbirds, and svo's.. ohhh yes turbos sing a nice song while driving down the road :)

 

Can't wait til I have a built and boosted 4.0 :) one day when I've got a budget that will let me!

 

Nice! I've got a short block from an 87 turbocoupe sitting in the shop. I'm going to steal the pistons from them for my build. I've got a header and injectors, but my build probably won't be finished anytime soon...need to finish college first.

What are the plans for this build?? 2.3t are a sick motor.

 

Nice truck man.

Those ebay headlights worth it? I've been looking at the big projector low beam one...

 

Awesome man... Love it. Not a fan of the mirrors though.

Any vids of this thing "singin" lol

 

plans for this build is a/c delete, new header, hurst shifter, thought about a new clutch since i blew off the last stage 3 spec... but i think that was due to a bad slave. and wanting to do a 8.8, and i am wanting to get that new AEM water meth kit with the new pump... more timing more power!

the headlights... not a product i would buy again..idk i just wasnt pleased.. they fit good just sometimes they fog up once in a while.

No vids yet. i will post some this spring when i get her back on the road.. and trust me she sings at 25lbs of boost.. :)

Just curious what you did with the wasted spark setup, I noticed you moved it to fit your turbo.

 

I realize this thread is old ASF but, what kind of exhaust manifold did you use to bolt up to the turbo?? Im trying to turbo my b2500 with the 2.5l and I'm debating on whether I could use an old SVO manifold or not. I've got everything worked around besides the manifold lol. If I can't bolt the turbo up in the engine bay I was thinking about putting the intercooler and turbo in the bed of the truck and slapping on a tonoe cover.
