That's pretty cool. I always liked the idea of a turbo B2. Where are you planning on mounting the IC? If you're going anywher near the mud and rocks, I'd count out an FMIC.

 

[dieselboy740]

yep fmic. prob end up with a explorer front clip though.

The body lines are different, but you can just stick the Explorer grille on with a 2nd generation Ranger/Bronco II clip and to the causual observer it would look the same.

Looks like a fun project, keep us posted!

do you want to sell the brush guard?

 

[dieselboy740]

its not worth the shipping.. jy it.
Does anyone have a dash/ gauge wiring diagram for these things. the 2.8 dash doesn't have a tach so i got one out of another ranger in the back yard but the wiring is fubar.
We just put new fuel lines and a 2.9 tank in it. I have a volvo inline fuel booster pump that were going to run for now.

 

[dieselboy740]

we got it running but as soon as it get into any kind of boost it craps out were trying to figure it out...

 

[dieselboy740]

ok so the ecm went bad wtf. i put in a 2.9 comp and hooked a map up and work ok. Im trying to get him to megasquirt it like i have on my car and just run it standalone

Oh yeah ! Thanks for the updates !

Mine wouldn't boost when I first wired it up either. Turned out I had mis-wired one wire on the VAM. Fixed that and she runs like a bat outta hell. For a relatively stock engine, as it looks like you've got there, the stock EEC system should be more than plenty to run it right.

what wire did you hook up the tach to?

 

[dieselboy740]

still haven't got that to work yet. But we got a la3 and did some rewiring and repining and it runs good now.

It has a stainless top mount header, .48/.60 turbo, cut rotated square intake, 3" fmic, alum rad, recirc bov, dual optimas and other items. Is already taken out 1 rear end. We have a explorer 8.8 but the driveline flange is different.
