Description
The (TUR) FORD, MAZDA WEAT, WLAT I4 DOHC inlet manifold, catalogued under PG693, is a precision-engineered component designed to fit the Ford Ranger XL models produced between 2007 and 2011. These vehicles, available in both 2-door and 4-door configurations, were powered by the 2.5-litre and 3.0-litre inline-four (I4) 16-valve turbo-diesel engines. The inlet manifold plays a critical role in ensuring efficient airflow into the cylinders, directly influencing combustion quality, fuel economy, and overall engine performance.
Engine Overview
- Type: Inline-four (I4), Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC)
- Displacement: 2.5L and 3.0L options
- Valves: 16 (four per cylinder)
- Fuel System: Turbocharged direct-injection diesel
The WEAT and WLAT engines are famous for their balance of power, durability, and efficiency. They were widely used in Ford Ranger as well as Mazda B-Series trucks. Offering strong torque for towing and off-road use while maintaining reliability for everyday driving.
Function of the Inlet Manifold
The inlet manifold is responsible for channeling air from the turbocharger into the engine’s cylinders. In a turbo-diesel system, this function is vital because:
- Balanced airflow ensures consistent combustion across all cylinders.
- Enhanced efficiency improves fuel economy and reduces emissions.
- Turbocharger synergy allows the engine to maximize boost pressure and torque output.
As an illustration, the PG693 inlet designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures associated with turbo-diesel operation. Ensuring long-term reliability under demanding conditions.
Fitment and Compatibility
- Vehicle: Ford Ranger XL
- Years: 2007–2011
- Body Styles: 2-door and 4-door utility/pickup
