Turbos, 2.3L Safe?
I've got a 1995 Ranger, supercab xlt... with the 2.3L high output motor (stock).. Need some help on finding a turbo kit that's worthy enough to throw in there, also need to know if the pistons are turbo "proof", as I'm told they are, but I need to know for sure, don't need to make an aluminum foundry. I am buying a new head for it anyways, so that will be covered, but im, again, not too sure about the pistons and connecting rods. Also, will I need a new transmission (ive got the original manual tranny).
Also, is there any other performance mods I can get away with while this things still in my school shop, i can do all the installations myself (minus a new exhaust) so I'm pretty open to anything.

you will want forged pistons for anythign over 5-6 pounds of boost, the rods are the same as the turbo motors. You will need to run an oil line to the turbo and an oil return line, one way to do the oil return is to drill a hole in the oil pan and use a bulkhead fitting. you will also need to deal with fueling the engine porperly and the correct programming of the computer...
