One very critical piece of advice: A stock 2.3 Lima _does not have forged internal components._ These forged components are first available with the 1998 Ranger 2.5. Prior-year 2.3 Limas _do not have forged components, they have cast components._ What this means is that if you go forced induction, whether a turbo or supercharger, at some point, there is a high possibility you will blow up your bottom end. However, I have a somewhat different approach to the power issue: Reducing the overall weight of your truck. What this does is allow you to accelerate the same, with less power needed. The same can be said for acceleration versus top end, dealing with gear ratios. Too high of a gear ratio number, you risk over-revving the engine -- plus, your top speed will suck. Going to a too-low gear ratio means more frequent replacement of clutch components for a manual. However, you can adjust your ratio a little bit, such as going from a 3.45 gear ratio in your rear axle, to a 3.73 gear ratio, or even a 4.10 gear ratio. But remember, the higher the number, the more torque, and less top speed, you'll end up with. However, there are other adjustments to gaining more power, such as drilling out you MAF sensor, getting a 2.5 fuel pressure regulator, and higher flow Mustang injectors. The key with messing around with your intake air and increasing both fuel pressure, and fuel flow, is to maintain the same air/fuel ratio value in your truck's computer. Yet, you will have higher power, due to increasing both the amount of air that goes through your intake, plus the amount of fuel that gets squirted into the combustion chamber. Go too far outside of either airflow or fuel, and your computer will throw either lean condition codes, or rich condition codes. So, you've got to maintain that sweet spot for your air/fuel ratio.

on the 2.3/2.5. a electric fan really helps gas mileage and take off. the idle air control valve needs to be cleaned about every 80-100,000. i highly recommend a manual oil pump gauge, by the time the factory gauge registers bad its to late. and lastly never ever go cheap on the muffler when the factory one rusts out, get a good flowing one.

I love that supercharger with the clutch! That's an awesome idea. Trying to implement it would be tough, though. You'd have to have two different programs for the engine, and change them on the fly as well... Putting on the old 2.3 turbo may be in the future for my Ranger. I understand the engine has to come apart, and get forged components put into it, so that's definitely down the road... But I like the idea of it.

I don't think it's hard at all to implement tuning wise, most stand alone ecus use many different strategies, like adding extra fuel and retarding the ignition to a naturally aspirated map once pressure goes over 100kpa at sea level.

I'm not a ford guy at all, but just bought an 11 ranger with 2.3 5speed . Got a super good deal on it. Super clean and a long list of service work records. Runs and drives beautifully around town, get it on the highway or up to highway speeds and it starts giving false overheating warnings. Gauge goes up, eventually water light and check engine light comes on. Sometimes it will loose all power. Turn it off and back on and temp gauge will read normal. It never actually overheated. I can see good circulation in the reservoir, although we did notice a lack in pressure in the cooling system. None of the hoses ever seem firm...I'm thinking temp sensor is failing, but I also noticed intermittent dimming in the lights at times, sometimes almost like an SOS....I've seen some very strange electrical malfuntions with faulty alternator or volt regulator...So now I'm wondering if its not actually the CTS, might be somthing else causing CTS to appear faulty? If that makes any sense....I mean I've seen windshield wipers run non stop with the switch turned off because of a faulty volt reg...I pulled the CEL code and it was lean mixture? Just makes me wonder....Maybe I'm over thinking it to much...Not sure where the CTS is but I'm headed out side to look for it and any obvious signs of problems with it...Truck has 180k.

@@donotedit4646 no it was the temp sensor. It was giving false readings. I got it all figured out either way. Replaced, cleaned or bench tested all the sensors to make sure they were all working right, then monitored it and forced extra fuel into it to see if it would show it and compensate for it, which it did. Ended up having bad injectors. I had 63lbs at the fuel rail but from there into the head, I wasn't getting the volume.

The option I'm going with is a 2.3 EcoBoost mustang motor.same for same almost exactly.has to be the easiest swap for a ranger for a plug and play. 310 hp stock and easy to do upgrades for a smidge more power on all the rangers original stuff.injectors fuel pump etc. Mars motor co. Is a full motor swap kit on a crate.you can even pick the donor car and decide what transmission to pair with it from 3 options.. After alllll the research and alllll the other options this is the smartest one.shares same mounts,same weight,same external components.you only need a few things from the mustang.mars co even has staff that will help you with that part if you tell them what your truck or project is.. Sure the 302 sounds sick AF but weight is 250 more and a mountain of other things to deal with.theres a couple on the you tube done right.. almost looking stock but still not much power really just more noise and torque. Other than that there's a guy that did a Mazda with a k swap and it's similar to doing the eco boost but you need a aftermarket computer and some wiring electrical skill. Supercharged and turbo from other vehicles can work but still not as much power as the EcoBoost.look for yourself

I believe the 2.3L engine went to 4 valves per cylinder around 2000 ? But they also went to a 2.5 L engine around the same time or a little earlier. If you could just swap cylinder heads that would be the easiest way. Once you experience a 4 valve engine you won't want the old 2 valve engine again.

@@everydayirace I understand the difference in the large year gap. If I completely swapped the wiring harness from the 2000 4.0 to the 1989 2.9 (making the 89 a 4.0) would it not work? The only worry is the interchangeability with the transmission. I’ve heard that rangers are pretty good with their transmissions being interchangeable for a lot of years, but 89 to a 2000 is a concern for me. I want to keep the 5 speed transmission from the 89 and just swap the motor/wiring harness.

@@everydayirace I read a whole lot from the Ranger Station and this is what I took from it; 1988-1992 Rangers (4x4) / Bronco II (4x4 & 2wd) 2.9 engine can be; 1) Mitsubishi FM146 (2.9 4x4 ONLY) 2) Mazda M5OD-R1 (4x4 version) And as for the 2000 it says; 1991-2000 Ranger/Explorer with the 4.0OHV engine: The Mazda M5OD-R1 is the only manual transmission used in Ranger/Explorer with this engine. So I guess in order for the transmission to work it would have to be a Mazda M5OD-R1. I’m not sure which transmission I have bc I just recently bought it with little information. It is a 2.9 4x4 so it is a possibility that it’s a Mazda M5OD-R1. Thanks for your opinion tho, I really appreciate it.
