Does anyone know of any performance mods available for the 2.9L V6? Other than the obvious K&N filter and exhaust. I'm looking for possibly a turbo or super charger, and a programmer. Thanks. E-mail me at DRW0392@hotmail.com.

 

The 2.9L is about as tuned as its going to get from the factory.

There is one chip avaialble for it, not sure who makes it though, do a yahoo search.

One guy did adapt a turbo to a 2.9L from a 2.2L Chrysler, it worked good under about 9PSI of boost untill the wastegate stuck closed and created 20PSI of boost on stock internals and smoked the motor, but it did run for about a week before he realized what happend.

One other thing you can do is advance your timing a little bit, or if your truck is a 88-92 install a TB from a 86-87. They had a 58MM TB and the 88-92's had a 50MM.

Is there any way that I could get in touch with the Turbo Ranger? I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I'm worried that on stock internals something serious could go wrong.

 

Go over to www.therangerstation.com and get ahold of a guy named Fastpakr or sidewalk...tell them rusty sent ya....they should be able to tell you how to get a hold of him.

Actually, 2.9L internals are pretty strong from the factory....as long as you dont go crazy on boost you'll be alright.
