Sounds like that intake needs an appointment with a tig welder.

As thin as it is probably best to start fresh

I wonder if an intake could be made from stainless steel piping and flanges. Or get a junkyard one. It is a neat truck.

I've actually got one made of stainless

It's fairly expensive to get quality modifications done on a 2.3 Lima so I'm guessing someone thought they'd save some money and do it themselves.

That intake has to go.

It definitely needed replacement but he just sent 30+ psi through it and it's holding

Hey man I’m attempting to build a 2.3L turbo myself out a 84’ Ranger 4-speed with 4x4. I was wondering if you modified the current engine or swapped in one already with a turbo from a different ford?

There all basically the same just variances in turbos and intakes the biggest difference is as stock is the intercooler or lack of and corresponding calibations The 83-86 had better turbos stock and the 87-88 had intercoolers and a smaller turbo

So how much boost can you run on a stock 90 model 2.3 with forged internals?
