im have a problem figuring somthing out. my friend has a 1993 ford ranger i think he said it was an XL but im not sure. cause i cant finda 1993 ford ranger with a 4 SPEED MANUAL? its a 2.3 liter engine. i told him i couldnt find his truck online but i saw simular 1s on here but with like "100 hp but he's like get the hell outta here. its a 2.3 liter it has atleast 160hp" but i cant find a 1993 2.3 liter ford ranger with 160 hp. any1 know what ford ranger it is please let me know. thank you..

 

If its a 93 Rnger, he is just slightly off on the HP numbers.... They had 98 horsepower. 2007 2.3 litre Rangers have 143 HP. The 6 cyl 3L only puts out 148hp, the 4L puts out 207hp. Below is a quote from Edmonds.com web page. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...rticleId=49541.

After a 10-year run with the same basic body style, the Ranger was substantially redesigned in and out for 1993. The new Ranger sported a slightly rounded nose, flush glass and new light clusters front and rear. A revamped interior greeted the driver and passengers and featured new seats, door trim and instrument panel. Upgraded sound systems added enjoyment to the new cabin. Nuts and bolts changes included the dropping of the 2.9-liter V6, a slight drop in output for the 2.3-liter engine (from 100 horsepower to 98), improved on-center steering feel and the addition of a high-mounted third brake light. Trim levels were revised and now consisted of base XL, XL Sport, XLT and STX. Halfway through the year, the perky Splash model (regular cab) debuted, featuring a stepside style (Flareside, in Ford lingo) bed and colorful graphics.

 

he keeps saying the engine used in his truck is a mustang engine?

 

If its a stock 2.3 mustang engine then its 88 to 105 HP depending on the year.. If he is caliming 160 HP it would have to be the 2.3l Turbo mustang engine, capable of 175hp.

 

Hahaha. hah.. haha hah. lol

 

does he wanna race or something? because my dad has a 99 with a 4L and im pretty sure i was driving it and got passed by kite.....

 

yeha, i had an 87 with the 2.9 v6, and it was damn slow. did okay off road, but it was a dog on road.

 

What the ****, he thinks it has the 5.0?

Tell him to go count sparkplugs.

 

feel free to call him a domestic ricer.

 

lol some late model mustang and ranger 2.3's had a 8 spark plug motor no horsepower gains tho
