Ford Ranger Cab Tdci 2.5

[Johannes Black]

I know, I do not really belong here. I have a European Ranger with a 2.5 liter diesel engine 5spm and this T5 model was never for sale on the USA or Canadian market. A true farmer truck. 144 bhp/330 bNm. I got this truck new for less (mistake dealer) and it was a real horror thing to drive. Nice to transport a load of melons or tow something, but stay under 110 km/h. In the next 13 years I have converted my farmer truck into a sport truck. And that was not easy. Made many mistakes or others did that for me. Now 200.000 km on the odo, I am busy to freshen everything up. Next will be my interior. I have posted a picture in the galley.

I'm not going to border you with all kind of details, but it takes a lot to make this kind of truck safe and fast. I have a complete adapted/modified suspension and axle with 70% slip. Race gears. Lowered as much as possible (note the horrible roads). 17x8,5 et0 wheels with 245/40/17 tires. Stainless 2.5" exhaust with metal race cat 100 cell and a self developed muffler for high revs. Engine: EGR removed, special exhaust manifold, gt2056 full upgraded turbo, bigger 10 hole injectors, special air intake, Mishimoto intercooler and some other things I did. I guess I have 370 bhp and 700+ Nm at the wheels. Recently I did my 3th brake upgrade, now it is perfect with Brembo gt6 in the front (years a go I had already discs all around) Topspeed is technically 240 km/h but I have no idea.

That looks nice, and it sounds like it is quite healthy with power!!
