google "2.3 Duratec turbo kit" then open your wallet. duratecs are not cheap to build.
also check out the duratec forum over on RPS, looks like FocusSport may be interested in puttin a ranger kit together.

Ok here you are...
Ok dustin. Check these guys out: www.ststurbo.com . They won't set you back as much as some of the bigger names will and be prepared to do alot of internal mods. I'm talking camshafts, injectors, cranks, rods the whole 9 yards. Please DON'T get that ebay kit you found. It's junk dude. They'll rip you off. STS has a bolt on squire universal kit using Garrett Turbochargers which are good and reliable. If you want an even better turbo kit built try these guys but bring the bank, www.turboneticsinc.com . Their smallest kit will set you back around $5,000 bucks.

alright man, your starting to sound like me when i started my turbo project. first thing everyone told me was to not cheap out and buy things off of ebay. just to put things into perspective, the kit you want is 500, my turbo alone brand new is 800. i bought it used from a friend (now i has to be rebuilt cuz i took the cheap way out) but still, my turbo used and new manifold cost me more than that kit did.
if you want like big hp increase get ready to spend money on new internals. from what i have been told, the stock insides will only handle like 7lbs of boost. but then you gotta change out the clutch and fuel pump, then the injectors... its really easier just buying a block (or taking yours out if you have another mode of transportation) and revamping the one you have, especially if your talking stroking it. then even if you still have your heart set on this ebay kit, you still have to buy the programmer to reset your ecu.
but make sure you do a lot of research, lots and lots of research. this is one place you dont wanna throw things together. i did the first time, then i had to get a new truck cuz i needed a ride and my ranger is still sitting at my dads being rebuilt cuz i threw things together and it never ran right.
and make sure you consider everyones input, especially over there on the turboford forums. they've been doing this a long time. its just harder to get info from them cuz they deal a lot with older obd1 cars. rangersrevenge is a great new site. there not a lot of people on there yet cuz its still pretty new, but make sure you listen to jesswarren and b2urbo, they know what their talking about. and dont hesitate to ask questions, as long as you use the search button first, that pisses a lot of people off when others do that.
