I am thinking about a turbo for my ranger where do you find a kit to do a six cylinder or better yet one specific for the 04 ranger 4.0?

 

not sure about a turbo kit, but i know they make superchargers... oregonedge has a whipple on his 3.0

 

No kits. But you can supercharge them. A local guy has one....and it is fuuuun to drive!

 

I know for superchargers explorer express has a kit. At least one member on here uses one from them.

RPcaster makes a kit for the 4.0 as well

 

You can build a custom turbo kit

 

when did I get a 3.0 and a whipple????

 

When you lost your mind and took it down a notch! lol

 

Lmao

 

You would have to go STS turbo if you wanted to do this. I know its been done on a 5.0L V8 explorer.. its so sexy.

Sts would go remote mount for you so wheeling might be an issue.

Or you can look all over and try to find a manifold or a custom manifold. Then good luck with fueling, tuning and all the other lovely turbo things.. better off motor swapping to a 2.3L turob hehe.

 

well i definatly aint goin smaller on motor size lol my 4.0 is underpowered as it is hauling four quads and four people plus our gear

 

Get a v8

 

Well your gonna have to go to a bigger motor or a s/c.. which is alot of money for what you get..

2.3l turbo would make a great drag or track truck

 

whay about this super charger upgrade on ebay anybody heard anything about it;
search ford ranger supercharger then go to the bottom of the page

 

well if i had the time my ranger would definatly have a 5.0 swapped in

 

Use a V8 or I4 to make good power. You will only get so with with the 4.0 and then you will start having major issues. The 4.0 engines can't handle that much boost anyway.

 

power-adders are not the way to go for towing... you just need a bigger truck

 

Its prob the rpcaster kit or something. Superchargers on rangers are really pretty expensive for what you get.


Your better off with a V8 they have so many options for upgrading.

 

but i love my ranger so much! i think that the best way would be the 5.0 if i want to keep the ranger then. would the super sharger be good for towing applications?

 

X2. Time for a full size.

 

Stats on this 2004 Ranger. Manual or Auto?

 

Our transmissions fail under boost if I am correct in reading that they really cant handle it like they should be able.

Call me on it but I remember reading it.

 

The auto will take it but the manual is a weak POS. Some guys run it just fine but I wouldn't do it. Also the tow rating is only 3100 LBS for a manual 4.0 4wd.

 

5spd. 4.0 3inch lift 33x12.50 mud terrains would it be a significant differance in power with the pace setter headers and a k&n filter and intake

 

Intake, headers and exhaust would only net you about 15-20 hp on a good day. Pacesetter headers are crap anyway.
