It still runs like crap and we put 4.56 gears in it, that's about it. lol

i'll put a couple vids up later.

update....

lol I would if there was anything to say. I got the SCT Advantage Software and I'm borrowing a chip burner from Jess, now we just have to get the stupid thing running right. I am starting to get tired of working on it.

LOL at the zip tied belt

I'm guessing you are talking about one of the build pictures. That was just getting the right belt length; you can't exactly go to the parts store and get one by application.

Don't stop though... its something unique. I'm glad to see someone doing it. When I get the time and the money that is what I plan on doing. Probably with the SC supercharger as well (easy to find). I know you said its not running right, but how much of a gain have you noticed?

Yeah I am trying not to get discouraged. There is a LOT more power. It is very impressive how much more power it makes, it is just impossible to drive. It stalls and bogs at part throttle and idle. It likes to go fast and that's it.

qoute It likes to go fast and that's it.

and the problem is? still bad ass man! get to work :smileford:

i was thinking turbo but in the back of my head i remembered the super coupe.

this is a killer idea and yeah, i do like a sleeper"tubo hidden" in a plain wrapper but damn the mad max factor of a supercharger sticking thru the hood makes me smile from ear to ear.

looking forward to seeing more

seriously.....the coolest truck on this site

i would trade my left nut for this truck

i wanna see pics!!

Alright, well I got a different MAFS that I actually have the transfer function for and re-tuned it again and it is MUCH better. Still not perfect, but better. Now I feel like I have a good baseline tune to work off of. I am trying to borrow a standalone wideband from a friend to get the rest of the kinks worked out.

Things are looking up finally. I can't wait to get the A/F ratio dialed in so I can take it to the track and break stuff. haha

Thanks Stig!

That is unique... I like unique.

Simple as that.

any updates!?!??!

Any updates to this? I know its years and years old. This build just brought me to the site.

DUDE!!!
i know it's been a long time. but i'm a fan of that truck since you posted it a long time ago. any update? is it still running? how it coming along?

In before "holy old thread batman".

So I sold this truck some time ago, to fund my at the time newfound rock crawling hobby. That hobby has since also went wildly off the rails and turned into a turbo 4.0 powered, rockwell axled buggy.

Anyway, the reason for digging up this corpse of a thread is that I'm interested in buying the truck back. So if anyone knows where it ended up, short of the scrap yard, let me know. I know it's a long shot.

Thanks

The turbo junkbox "Ranger" that is my new affliction.

Found it!
 

Inspired!
 

I've been looking to turbo my Ranger for a long time but this build had inspired me to go super charge!
you can see my truck in insta as TotalPozerRaceing https://www.instagram.com/invites/co..._content=f5l4l
I even have an M90 super and a donor 2.3.

After reading through all of this, it has inspired me to supercharge my DD ranger. its a 2000 2.5l lima, but im gonna wait until i fix my motorcycle so i have something to drive in the meantime. any advice on things to buy ahead of time, and where to buy them? i'd like to not blow up my engine if i can help it, lol.
