How will this upgrade effect my truck??
I'm driving a 1988 Ford Ranger with a 2.9L EFI V6. I'm wanting to put twin turbos AND either a super charger or blower on it. I'm also wondering if I should put a larger engine (at least a Ford 302 smallblock V8) in and then put the upgrades on it. I'm not sure how this may effect my trucks performance or effeciency on the road.
Would anyone mind explaining any problems with this idea? Is this kind of an upgrade even plausible to complete? What may be some things I will have to consider in the process of completing this upgrade and then afterwards in the performance of my truck? Will I have to upgrade other parts of my truck to compensate for this upgrade???
Any and All opinions are welcome.
Adding both twin turbos and a supercharger makes zero sense to me -- at all. Go one way or the other. Heaven knows an attempt to plumb in both would be a freaking nightmare. I don't think it's ever been done!
If you're not familiar with the arguments of turbo vs. supercharger, familiarize yourself with those first, and then pick the most appropriate of the two for your application.
The point of both systems is to provide additional positive air pressure at the intake. Your intake/engine/exhaust is only going to be able to process just so much air volume. Either system, properly selected and installed, should be able to max out what your engine will tolerate without damage.
EITHER system may already be more than the rest of your drivetrain can handle. Let's face it -- a Ford Ranger isn't exactly HD equipment to begin with.
