Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad
Post by: Conceptz-X on May 24, 2009, 07:47:59 PM: Nice, a buddy of mine was going to put his old SVO parts on one and boost the piss out of it, don't know if he had found a truck yet. That would be an interesting ride.
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad
Post by: bigdaddyvtec on May 24, 2009, 09:29:37 PM: So what Id LIKE to do...

Sell the Cougar

Keep the Ranger
FIgure out what to use for management

small Ching Chong Turbo
GFI manifold
FMIC

Boost this slut....

JUst like to see maybe a 50 HP increase, motor is FRESH, has only 40K on it and compresion is solid and consistant.

Profit

Post by: Towdogg on May 25, 2009, 12:04:54 AM: flip it
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad
Post by: sewell94 on May 25, 2009, 12:07:10 AM: TunerPro or EEC editor will be good for tuning it. Moates has some cool stuff to cover the hardware side.

Im guessing Jd nuts are sweating right now, hes been feening for a minitruck.
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad
Post by: bigdaddyvtec on May 25, 2009, 04:14:08 PM: Ya i thought originally about flipping it... I have less than 250 in it total. It ooks alor better than in the pics since i did a detail after the initial de funking....

I put it on CL just to see interest, people have been POUNDING my phone trying to come and see the truck.

Started thinking about it. It has 53K on it is clean as hell... Maybe I should sell the cougar... SO I think thats what Im going to do... Selling the truck = 2Gs in the bank, selling the cougar would get me around 800ish (cleaned the shit out of it now the old lady likes the car). I dont know, but if I keep it it will be boosted I think,

It has the wierd dual plug motor that has 2 per cylinder, dual coil packs too...

the drivers side plugs are a nigger to change since you have to remolve the upper plenum to get at them, But I justwant like 30-40 more HP. anyone know shit about these motors????

Or is this a bad idea???

Like I said, the motor is in great shape solid compression. Has a header on it too... hahahahaa Lil sink trap or something??? Love to see the look on riders faces as the ranger blew off pulling on them...

Its a MAF setup so..

Ya, info, thoughts?????

Post by: highroller54 on May 25, 2009, 04:17:26 PM: you can do those plugs with the upper intake on it. You need a turbo coupe engine swap!
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: bigdaddyvtec on May 25, 2009, 04:23:34 PM: Hmmmmm I shall seek one out

It could happen unless I change my mind.

with the bigger tires that are on it though 5th gear is retarded even on the freeway as its suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper long... if a HEADWIND hits youy, back to 4 yhou go, thats why Id just like a bit more ooomph

Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: turbohf on May 25, 2009, 04:35:28 PM: jeff boosted one with mike g. used the stock 2.3 turbo mani, cdm turbo, some random junkyard 380-440cc injectors computer was a reflashable unit?? cant remember the name.... there was a post about it on HMT, if you can still get there, and bitch didnt delete it :-\
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: Dr. D-Series on May 25, 2009, 04:43:43 PM: Driver side plugs are harder than they look. I did mine pretty quick.

Remove the plastic resonator thats on the intake arm and replace it with a pipe. Thats a few HP you can actual feel. Remove the Converter and the truck feels like its got 20 more hp.

I tow my civic with my ranger in 5th gear at 2500-3000 rpm with no problems at all. Dont really ever need to get 4th unless its a long hill.

What kind of gears in the rear ? Mines got 3.73's so it feels peppy in the 1st few gears.

BTW, good looking truck.
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: glustic on May 25, 2009, 04:46:04 PM: Damn thats a though decision. I would probably just sell the bitch and keep the money. Thats a $1780 profit..
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: AstroVannin on May 25, 2009, 04:46:19 PM: BDVT, I would just keep the pickup. Its ALWAYS handy to have one.... especially if you have to move transmissions areound with regularity.

It does look pretty clean... and realistically, it will probably be worth the same $2000 it's worth now, even a year from now. So I would drive it use it enjoy it and then sell it later on if somthing better comes along. Otherwise you have a decent truck to run around in and pick up parts when nessesary.

For managment... what about an AEM F/IC... they're pretty cheap and have spark and fuel control? Should be able to get one for less then $400 no?
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: ratcityrex on May 25, 2009, 04:48:24 PM: The duel plug head is where its at. They are suppose to be better than the turbo coupe heads. Keep it and do a low buget setup on it and have fun.
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: Conceptz-X on May 25, 2009, 05:17:24 PM: http://www.turborangerforums.com/ (http://www.turborangerforums.com/) Possibly a good place to start getting a plan together
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: bigdaddyvtec on May 25, 2009, 07:04:04 PM: Sweet. THX for the info. It needs emmisions done now for title transfer (and the tabs are up next month), so ill do that and then omit the cat... WIll also stuff a K&N on the end of a HMT style intake for it for now. I HAVE to leave the MAF where itr is or can I make a whoile new intake for it as long as the MAF is still implemented???

The rear end gears coupled with the tall 5th and the bigger tires that are on it (NICE mud and snows all the way around, they howl a bit on the freewaqy which i dig O0) Make it doggy in 5th, but Ill do what youre talking about and see if I notice a difference... It cruises nicely at about 70 in fifth, but like I mentioned it needs to be shifted down when approaching hills or a strong headwind... LOL.

I think Ill keep it, as the milage is really low and I was also thinking that it will hold its value well if I dont beat the shit out of it... I get a kick out of knowing the Accords old OEM fuel pump is in it...

HAHAHAHA
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: Conceptz-X on May 25, 2009, 07:13:56 PM: MAF can be relocated
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: Ntrain2k on May 25, 2009, 07:46:36 PM: You could get the comp, maf, injectors, exhaust manifold and harness from a turbo coupe and almost drop it all right in. Not much modding/fabbing would need to be done at all.

Post by: LS1pwNzJ00 on May 26, 2009, 02:10:57 AM: So far I see the options as

Option A: Sell it for crack, hookers and mcdonalds, binge for 3 days and by then you'll run out of money

Option B: Drive it into a ditch and fill it full of bullet holes from an AK

Option C: Use it to take over the world, we all know its capable of this

Option D: Weld spikes on the front and weld pneumatic powered whips everywhere, drive around maiming and whippin niggas, also spray paint on the side "Call-me-Massa-Mobile"

Post by: Dr. D-Series on May 26, 2009, 07:10:27 AM: Tow dolly. No trailer.

BTW dude, check out the rear leaf spring shackles and hangers. They are notorious for rotting and leaving you stranded.

But yours is low mileage so it will prob be fine.

Post by: 97Econobox on May 26, 2009, 11:35:35 AM: Yeah ive heard the 2.3's will hold some boost. I say force it till she pukes ringlands and or rods.

if you blow it toss another 300 at it for a block get it back road worthy and then sell it, Profit.

you could easily sell it for a lot more.
Title: Re: New addion to my beater squad HELP ME BOOST THIS SLUT, Ford Nogs lookie see
Post by: bluerex on May 26, 2009, 12:38:13 PM: If you really want to boost it just drop in a $200 jy 2.3T.

Personally, I'd sell it.

Post by: MerkurColin on May 28, 2009, 03:13:31 AM: Put a 2.3T and a T5 trans in that thing - you'll have no regrets. Keep it simple - big intercooler (powerstroke or volvo), manual boost controller (20psi), 3" straight pipe (stacks? :noel: ), and a 40bob.com manifold. Bulletproof setup. :yes:
