I am going to be adding to a 93 Ford ranger 4.0 ohv that I have turboed. Ive decided to use the v0.4.x board. Any advice you guys can give? Want to make a list before I start buying anything

Much better is to review what you have now foe components (make a list), what you think you need for what you're doing (make a list), and then post those lists for review and suggestions. Include an overview of your current build and setup. A couple light passes through the Wiki will help, if you don't read to hard. :lol: Just soak it in.

This is much faster and also allows you to post your goals and priority lists (fuel type, boost level, vehicle use, driving type, economy priority or not, etc) to weigh the factors for better suggestions.

Welcome to the Forums, and we look forward to your project! 8-)

Since I cant seem to edit my post I just wanted some clarification on the "components" part. Do you mean electronic components or like sensors on the truck?

Can you elaborate alittle? Just had a baby 2 months ago cant quite think straight

As for components I dont have any. Going to buy the board with the components kit with a 250 kpa map.

I have a soldering iron and multimeter.

As for my goals as of now just be able to tune the engine and get it running better with boost aswell as be able to data log.

As for sensors on the truck got a 3 wire tps, 2 wire water temp, 2 wire crank(not sure what type of crank sensor ill delve deeper into it), 2 wire air temp, nd NB O2. Going to add a WB O2 or 2 either add on or replace the stock sensors.

This is all I can think of ATM

Sounds good. You can reuse your existing components. The crank sensor is VR, so you'll need a VR signal conditioner module. The cam is Hall, single-tooth (half-moon). Easy 36-1/1 setup. The coil is passive without an internal driver (not "smart") so you'll have to add two coil drivers/modules between the ECM output and the coils. Lots of options for those, do a search for Mitsu/DSM 1 to 6 channel and just use 2, or Bosch, Toyota, or a hundred others I can't list here. Injectors are likely high-Z/saturated, so good there if so, and you'll need the latency (opening and dead-time) info for setup. CLT and IAT are fine. Use that info to search for setup info in the Wiki and TS - it's "Ford". Next!

Goals for the truck? If mostly typical street boost, you're good so far. Totally to the side, but I have an extra set of 4.0L OHV turbo header flanges cut for the schedule elbows to build a stout set of manifolds. Not doing those anymore and taking shelf space so they'd be cheap, except shipping. :roll: Not an ad, just throwing it out there if useful to you.

The injectors are high impedence about 14 ohms.

My turbo only makes 10psi on wastegate. For now no plans going more.

Ill have to take a look at the forums and read the manual. Hopefully can get it all together no problem.

As for those header flanges im just using some headers and just routed the exhaust up to the turbo with a flipped passenger header.
