Ford Ranger

didnt really know where to post this but your all turbo guys so surely some of u would be able to help.

so im pretty keen on a ranger 2x4 3L turbo diesel seeing as I gota think a bit more for work now n not play....and the ranger seems to fit wot I need all round...

probly not long after I get it ill b gettin lpg turbo diesel injection.... more turque n better fuel economy will suit me just fine.

what I want to know is would an intercooler upgrade make any difference on a diesel???

I know they r better on petrol engines ...but if its worth it for the diesel then of corse ill look into it

thanks guys

the 4x2 has a 2.5lt

the 4x4 has a 3lt

they have a front mount on them standed, so they are allready ahead of most

but you wont get much of a gain (if any) with a bigger one.

Winding up the boost will give you more power, I am sure its possible.

DP have a chip or Tune box for diesel engines, makes a hell of a difference. are they common rail or not? you can always advance the pump and increase boost pressure but make sure you get a pyrometer guage

I heard that's bloody expensive!

and s#%* you either go with one or the other. in my experience lpg is not a team player you can't get a reliable system design to run on 2 different fuel sources unless your well aware of the operating procedures

regards to the lpg

my mechanic is running a setup on his rodeo ute torque went from 314nm to 707nm on stock boost

gets 2800km from 160L of diesel n 28L of gas

only injects gas when its on boost.

he charges $3700 n then u get $2000 back off the government so effectivly $1700

even less if u do it urself

the hardest/longest part is mounting the tank...takes him 1 - 2 hours to do all the under bonnet stuff...n the system is totally removable if I wanna take it out.... also has a switch on the dash to turn it on n off if u like

the system is called 'eco-shot'

I'm pretty sure the boys at CV have done this on a couple of F-Series trucks, makes a massive difference as you say, it's kind of like NOS, so go for it, if you need any prices checked, let me know

well obviously if its like nos they would have taken to it like ducks to water

A mate of mine works for a company that is starting to do this to trucks and I am sure he said it cost something like 20k per truck
