Little Engine, Big Power: My 2.3L Bronco Performance Modification Build

[MWILD]

The High mount intercooler was sold with compatible charge pipes too. They have them for both the 2.3 and 2.7. Quick video of the setup.

Have you gotten it to lift the front tires off pavement at launch yet?

Haha, no but my E85 2.7L could if you consider wheel hop the same thing

I've wondered how a couple of the trucks in videos (BuckleUp) are getting theirs to launch that hard. Mine is a slushbox, even with the tune. It feels almost like a CVT trans until 2nd gear.

Did you ever get the t51R turbo?

Cool stuff, I will be following.

Do you think the 4.46 gearing is optimal for off-the-line performance or do you plan to change that at some point?

Without gear swaps and data logging it's near impossible to say.

In the world of drag racing, a turbo car will pretty much always run a higher (lower numerically) gearset than the exact same car that's N/A (or blown) because engine load has a great deal of influence on how quickly the turbo starts to spool.

Still being made. Mine is the guinea pig, so if anyone else is interested, hopefully it won't take as long for them. It's been about 7 months at this point.

TBP sent me a sneak peek of the turbo
