That dude riding with you wanted that lil ranger to kick some ass. He was casually trying to know more about it.

Dont be discouraged fella!! Most Goals we set rarely get met the first time, fix what issues need fixed and give it another go!! You got a nice looking truck there and once the little KUbota is 100%, im sure you'll hit your mark!!

The smoke never clears on the top end. Wire that waste gate shut or find the boost leak.

For an at the wheel measurement, that is really not that bad for a small 4 cyl diesel. It is no hot rod, but with the right rear end, it should be respectable, and deliver a lot better fuel economy. A little more boost might improve that as weell.

We suspect there is a boost problem. Used to read 30 psi on a pull, now won’t get to half that. Not sure where the problem lies, but we suspect if it’s fixed it would perform much better.

Coolest build I’ve ever seen, been having the same idea for years and it’s cool to see such a clean example

I love your ranger built its unique. If anyone is wondering my stock 96 4x4 4.0 ranger makes 145rwhp and 170ft pounds of torque

I have a 1986 Ford Ranger 2.3 liter Turbo Diesel 4x4 ( not the Ford 2.3) and it has 86hp 134 lbs of Torque from the Factory. the 2 wheel drives had a 2.2 Perkins Diesel with 59 hp and 90 lbs of torque so unless the pump is turned way up don't except huge numbers on that Kubota ;)

That’s not bad at the wheel and it’s only the beginning because the upgrades are almost limitless (providing parts availability) or use of other parts like the vw turbo

Well you are making 200 lbs of torque at the engine, which is good for a three cyl. diesel.

my respect jumped way up after i found out its a 3 cylinder.

Try a s248 or s257 borg warner turbo i think one of those would be perfect. And 25 psi on that turbo is out of its efficiency range. Max should be 18.

In Brazil the ranger’s diesel engine option was 2.5 l maxion turbo(110cv), maxion powerstroke 2.8l with 135cv and 3.0 international mwm powerstroke eletronic with 163cv.

just because the melting point is 1400 F, doesnt mean you have to stop there. ive seen a 24v cummins run 1800 for a few seconds before letting out. i have run my 7.3 at close to 1600 for a few seconds, no problem. but a bigger turbo would flow more air, in turn giving you cooler egts. same as a 5 inch straight pipe gives you cooler egts than a 4 inch

Rangers, dodge d-50, mitsubishi mighty max, Plymouth arrow, and Chrysler prospector all came with Mitsubishi 4d55 2.3l and later 4d56 diesels. My 4d55 d-50 was rated at 89hp and 130lbs of torque. Some guys in Europe raced a 4d55 galant that they got 200hp out of. Just curious why you went with the kubota instead of finding a 4d56? It’s still pretty cool.

Seems like that fan should be on, def running rich through the pull

I found a partial kit to put a kubota diesel in my 1982 Toyota pickup, and this was just what I needed to find. Does that truck make highway speed?

What's the size of the engine in the ranger? Unfortunately my little 1.9l tdi makes more than that. 🙃

It's still awesome 👌👏👍

Whats your top speed?? And how well does it shift?

All that smoke...poor engine is gasping for air. A lot of power is going right out the exhaust. Getting that boost problem fixed will get you some nice improvements.

What engine and transmission are in it

The interesting thing with these diesels isn’t record crushing power numbers, but doing more with less. Id say it’s a sport of finessing the most out of a motor between more power and efficiency out of units of diesel (which is a more potent denser energy than units of gas). In all honesty, if it weren’t for the EPA and if more people knew or were even persuaded about these capabilities like the government tries to push EVs, it would probably make EVs obsolete. But that’s not in their agenda.

Either smoke your tail lights and rear cab light/bar or replace them with halo/euro lights like your headlights. 4. Add basic mid or deep dish black rims for stance. Lastly, 5. They make clear lenses for the cab lights you added on top of the truck. Buy some, use vhs nite shades spray to smoke them just a light bit. Boom… Lit diesel ranger.
