    I, watch every Ford content video, you make! Always, loved the turbo 2.3! Had, a couple of them.

    Great video. Just whack a turbo on it they say.
    It’ll be great they say

    Sounds like that intake needs an appointment with a tig welder.

      As thin as it is probably best to start fresh

    I wonder if an intake could be made from stainless steel piping and flanges. Or get a junkyard one. It is a neat truck.

    It's fairly expensive to get quality modifications done on a 2.3 Lima so I'm guessing someone thought they'd save some money and do it themselves.

    That intake has to go.

      It definitely needed replacement but he just sent 30+ psi through it and it's holding

    Hey man I’m attempting to build a 2.3L turbo myself out a 84’ Ranger 4-speed with 4x4. I was wondering if you modified the current engine or swapped in one already with a turbo from a different ford?

      This truck has a 84-88 2.3T and corresponding T5 transmission swapped in on a stinger pimp ecm (megasquirt)

      There all basically the same just variances in turbos and intakes the biggest difference is as stock is the intercooler or lack of and corresponding calibations
      The 83-86 had better turbos stock and the 87-88 had intercoolers and a smaller turbo
