The Slowest Ford Ranger gets more Boost.

Throughout the years Ive been driving this #FordRanger it was either horribly slow or boosted and turned all the way down. This week I made upgrades to the fuel system and hopefully fixed a few issues with boost. We should be ready to head to the drag strip pretty soon after this.

Solid content man🤘

Thanks 🙏

Ayyyyeee there he is!!! I work at a shop and a lady came in with her new to her 91 ranger and said it doesn't get up to speed quickly... I told drove it and told her...."it's a 2.3, it's gonna be slow

[@2300gearjammer]

😆😂 even if it had a turbo I'd still say that same thing.

[@2300gearjammer]

I need to tell the story about the day I had had enough and the ranger finally got a turbo.

[@homegrowncustomsandautorep9737]

@@2300gearjammer that's about where I'm at on my Daily ranger,enough of the slow... It's got Pimpx 100gph e85 pump, efans, shimmed the hlas, ported intake, no maf and it's still a turd although a lot more torquey now, so with another dp 2.3 engine and some svo pistons , e6 manifold, factory Garret(svo) and stinger down pipe that may be moving to a engine stand in the near future...

[@spiritualinsight]

Add a second turbo in combination/sequence using a torqamp or a sledgehammer electric turbo to remove lag

[@2300gearjammer]

That may put the ranger project over budget 😂

[@homegrowncustomsandautorep9737]

A man of taste. Tank out !!Not bed off/or cut an access panel

[@homegrowncustomsandautorep9737]

May have sent that to early...

[@2300gearjammer]

😭 I can assure you I was devastated. 😂 It wasn't until about 1am that I decided I would pull the bed off. I didn't want to touch it because I figured bolt would break. I ended up having to torch a few to knock it loose. Amazing the stupid stuff that doesn't end up on camera.

[@CHVLKiD]

It should be a whole new 1993 ranger now with all the fuel and boost. Excited to see the shenanigan capabilities it now possesses 🤣👍🏻

[@2300gearjammer]

I'll struggle just to keep it alive now that I can turn the boost up. It has mostly been bulletproof.

[@2300gearjammer]

Aaaaaagh don't I still owe you a bonus shirt. We will get that worked out this week.

[@CHVLKiD]

@@2300gearjammer well, I didn’t want to be a petty whiner but yes sir. I look forward to it and I do have a new address so email me and I’ll get you the information. Always appreciate your videos and thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@2300gearjammer]

Haha well for this one you just can't let me forget. I'm wide open throttle right now

[@CHVLKiD]

@@2300gearjammer that’s the other thing…I couldn’t stand the thought of slowing ANY progress down. You’re just having so much fun and Trevor has got to get behind a wheel sooner than later 🤣🤣

[@user-ic2ug8ys1z]

I saw you haven't made a video in 10 months. Do you still monitor the channel? Have you ever thought about an economy/gas mileage built 2.3 engine? Thanks.

[@300blkaac]

Need some more ranger videos

[@2300gearjammer]

Ha I'm getting there. I decided to finish this pinto while I still had the money to do it. Then I'll get the ole Ranger turned up

[@user-lv8qu8md1r]

Please help I need content about a svo t5 swap into my automatic 97 ranger. What fly wheel and harmonic balancer do I use? Stock svo flywheel for the t5? Or do I have to use a manual ranger flywheel and possibly have to modify it? Rock auto has specs online but no specific weight and the two are supposedly different by small amounts. If I mess this up the build will be destroyed from what I understand. Please help!

[@johnwerner9695]

found your channel looking to find mods i could do to my 94 ranger 2.3 m5r1. Ive had a few 2.3s in couriers,mustangs ect. The motor has always been fun but always seemed like there is more i could do to it to get more out of it. But i seem to end up selling them as soon as i give someone a ride in it(truck car what ever.). hanging on to this ranger. use it so i can keep the miles of seattle area traffic off my weekend warrior f350 dually. Would like to see more on the build of the ranger. I do like the mustang but not much of daily driver. Keep up the good work. THANX

[@2300gearjammer]

Thanks a ton. Ill definitely keep the ranger in the mix it's always one of the most fun things I mess with.

[@brutalbasspro]

Hi I have a 1986 ranger with an old circle track 2.3 running a carburetor! I drive it to Seattle all the time I live in Richland.

[@DrArtshotrodrehab]

I know it’s way too late but taking the bed off is way easier to change your fuel pump in those only done it about a dozen times thanks hope it makes more horsepower this time

[@2300gearjammer]

I did eventually 😂 I didn't want to though

[@johnwills4655]

My ranger has a 2.5, when I buy a new truck I want to turbo the 2001 ranger. Should I look for a 2.3?

[@2300gearjammer]

You can actually get a set of rods and Pistons for that 2.5 and use the 2.5 block. That would make things way easier.

[@bpowda84]

Man all these years I’ve been watching your stuff I never knew you were from SC. What part? I’m near Myrtle Beach

[@2300gearjammer]

Really from Charlotte area but I'm all over the western upstate part of SC too. Lol

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

I'm thinking ranger vs ranger.. in 6yrs or so when mine is finally done... #jackstandmafia

[@2300gearjammer]

🏆 it's nice that you think this ranger will still be alive then. 😂

[@boosted74m2]

Do a street burnout with some skinny’s or stripper glitter and those hard tires will soften up .

[@2300gearjammer]

For fun I'll try them as is. I agree though, i think they will get better

[@ellarry5441]

I have a return style fuel rail for around 94-96 and the diameter on the pressure side hose where I attached a huge fragile -8 fitting is less than a 1/4. I hogged it out a bit but it just seemed like a real choke point compared to some other ford fuel lines (5.0 and super coupe 3.8 namely) any fuel rail suggestions for 98 2.5. Thanks for the content!

[@ellarry5441]

Fragola not fragile

[@2300gearjammer]

I actually think I have a fuel rail for one of those. I'll take a look at it see what I think.

[@matthewggreen]

My dad has put an '88 5.0 in his ranger, still in the process but you will be making close to the same HP which is sad haha.

[@2300gearjammer]

Haha well that one's probably going to break less. 🐎🐎

[@jmanbgg]

from 70 to 200hp?!

[@2300gearjammer]

And much more....as soon as I put a better clutch in it. Lol

[@79beans347]

Aw man and the whole video I thought that clean fuel was the joke 😂🤣 but I put clean fuel and sugar in my tank, was told that sugar completely stops detonation and it has , just can't get it to start for some reason but im sure that its something simple, but I no longer hear any detonation and that is the important thing because it could ruin your engine 😝🙊🤦‍♂️

[@2300gearjammer]

😂 I can't afford to run sugar anymore. It costs too much

[@79beans347]

@@2300gearjammer man that's a bummer because as u know it works very well, and it will have ya fixed up in no time 😂 But if I run in to ya at the track Ill share some of mine with ya because I have plenty of it and until I get this bug worked out i wont be needing any because I filled my tank up and only put 10lbs of sugar in there and that tank will last me a long time. See with these fuel prices up you just about gotta put sugar in everything that you drive because it also helps your fuel mileage and you won't need another fill up for a long time. Just trying to help you out bud I hate to see ppl struggle financially so I try and help them out as much as possible and you're the lucky lucky recipient this time 😁 that ought to make your day better just knowing that 😜

[@2300gearjammer]

👀🧐😂 I'll bring tea if you're bringing sugar.

[@young11984]

Is that a bone stock 93 engine or did you do a TC 2.3 swap?

[@young11984]

Nvm, seen it in the comments already lol

[@2300gearjammer]

😂 well every comment helps boost the video so no worries there. I'll definitely do a vid for the ranger build. It's a pretty funny story.

What computer are you using?

[@Natthan77]

Stock engine?

[@2300gearjammer]

I decided to do a walk around vid for this thing. Engine is stock except for some 220k mile turbocoupe pistons. Stock head and everything else though.

[@2300gearjammer]

I may make that the next video.
