Ford Ranger Query

Does anyone know if the manifold and turbo from a Bongo are interchangeable with a Ford Ranger?

Hi Ian
Both the Bongo and the Ranger use an IHI RHF5 Turbocharger :

The Bongo manifold MAY differ as the exhaust is different

its possible that the manifold we removed from yours ian was ranger, it had the lump of cast on the rear edge that the egr bolts to (different fitting to the bongo) so it may melt the rear large pipe to the turbo/airfilter housing.
the bongo turbo has a number stamped on its inner face,towards the engine, they are the same fit and same oil water connections so may be ok.

there were some pics on here on one of your posts if i remember right ian.

using helens link the bongo is 76 bhp and the ranger is not speced :roll: .
