Turbo V8 Ford Ranger 5.0 302 EFI

*Note: I no longer own the truck, however I will answer questions about the build and whatnot.*

'94 Ford Ranger, 5.0EFI from '97 Explorer with a remote mounted turbo @6psi. ~345hp, 380ft/lbs at the wheels.

Just a couple 3rd gear runs - I'll do some 0-60 runs and whatnot pretty soon, hopefully with something better than a digital camera...

Motor swap, turbo and supporting mods all done in-house, by me. See http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2479061 for more info on the truck.

If I had everything you needed. What would you charge a guy to do this?

[v8rangerboy]

@stlmikie For just the turbo setup or the motor and everything?

where did you find a turbo for a 302? ive been wanting one for my carbureted 302 that will transfer to my 351 clevor when the 302 blow.

@killertctma I had to do the math and size it up. Copying one from a turbo mustang build isn't a bad idea, though. The first one I had for the truck (in this video) was way too small. I ended up with a T-70 the second time, and it ran much, much quicker than this. HX/HY35's off of 5.9 Cummins are pretty popular to use, also.

@v8rangerboy ok so a turbo is interchangeable as long as you can make up mounting brackets for it?

[v8rangerboy]

@killertctma Yes. Any turbo will fit anything with the right plumbing (for the most part, some rare exceptions). Getting one with the right compressor and turbine geometry is the important thing to worry about.

@salbadorruizalvarez Find one that is oil rated. 1.75 gpm would be PLENTY for an oil return. The feed hole to the turbo is very, very small.

BOV can be anywhere in the intake tract, really. Keep it away from the MAF/MAP/etc, though.

[salbadorruizalvarez]

What type of oil pump rating do you recommend...example found one on ebay for 139 capacity is 1.73 gpm ...is that enough...what is a good lication for the blow off valve??

[v8rangerboy]

@salbadorruizalvarez Just one external pump to return the oil from the turbo.

[salbadorruizalvarez]

How many oil pumps?
