yea pretty much those are your cars

do a lot of research also

make sure you have another vehicle tho

the swap doesnt take long, its getting it tuned properly and all the bugs worked out

Check out rangersrevenge.com, he has a 2.3T pushing 278.8 HP. The videos on there are pretty sweet.

only thing to remember is merkurs don't come with an intercooler. not that you can't add one in later, just saying, it's got xxx,xxx miles with no ic... and if you have 98+ 2.3/2.5 i hear you can use your stock electronics...

yea you can, check out that site



i have driven that truck, pretty sick

he lives not to far away from me

he is running a SCT tuner, 90mm MAF, stock motor with turbo pistons in it, holset H1C turbo at 25psi, 60lb injectors, stock ranger tranny, spec stage 4 clutch, volvo front mount IC, turbo XS BOV

thats pretty much it, but with 25psi he is over 300hp at the wheels, prolly closer to 340

he just got a wideband O2 sensor, very fast truck

we raced an EVO a few weeks back, evo thought his car was super fast, haha we stayed with him the whole time
