poorboy, without a custom tune, bigger injectors will likely do more harm than good. Adding a little more fuel by upping the pressure (with an adjustable pressure regulator) could help, though. I assume you are running open exhaust, but are you using a manifold or header? A header may help the torque coming off the turns. If the throttle body from a 2.5 ranger is larger, that may help breathing as well.
If the Mustang still has the 7.5 rear end, I have my stock 3.31 gears around here somewhere (close enough to 3.27, me thinks). You can have them for the price of shipping, provided I can find them. I think you may have better luck finding your answers on one of the big Ranger forums, as there are probably quite a few modified 2.3/2.5 Rangers out there. What sort of mods are you allowed to do with the intake/exhaust? |
very nice of you and some great ideas to boot. Two thumbs up

there is no real way to turn the stock computer. You are forced to either got to a stand alone or convert to carb. Can you gasket match the intakes, and heads? Can you clean up/port the heads? Light weight flywheel/clutch set up? aluminum driveshaft? If it is a 1990 what about swapping out to a ranger cam. stock for a ranger can't remember what years and stock for a 91-93 2.3 mustang.

more great ideas, you guys are smart for sure

holy that's strict... that's why i run GT class in solosprint.
gears would help a lot, fresh rebuild with new internals (OEM sizes), suspension if allowed, and some good tires :tup |
I've turned this place upside down looking for those gears, and can't find 'em. I will keep looking, and let you know if I find them. FYI, all V6 mustangs from 05-10 still had the 7.5 rear and 3.31s.
johnny5 has some good ideas for you, as well. It would be nice to take a good look at the rule book... Sometimes what is NOT there can help you most. |
couple of other things.
-Degree the cam, the best you can while maintaining the stock cam gear. A lot of trail and error since the timing will change a bit after turning the engine over a couple of times. so just keep adjusting until its where you want it after it settles. -Windage tray/oil pan -better Ignition -knife edge the crank -under drive pulleys -esslinger has a light weight billet water pump -exhaust manifold/header you can also play with head gasket thickness and milling the head to get to the 190psi limit. if you are going to stay efi, find/make an intake and tb set up that fits your powerband/application you might not need to rev it that high. My 4 banger at a dyno day after some very minor work (i.e cam, cold air, exhaust) made 94rwhp at 4300rpm. might be worth emailing esslinger or bo-port (but bo-port does more turbo stuff) and see what they can recommend. maybe see if there is a rocker arm with a different ratio to get more lift even though it is a stock cam. |
