Ford ranger Mazda BT 2500cc WL – Turbo engine 2.5L

The Ford Ranger Mazda BT-2500cc WL-Turbo 2.5L refers to a 2.5-liter, turbocharged, inline-four diesel engine (the WL-T) found in both the Mazda B2500 (and BT-50) and Ford Ranger pickup trucks. The “WL-Turbo” designation specifically means it’s a naturally aspirated WL diesel engine that has been fitted with a turbocharger, increasing its power and torque output.
 

Here’s a breakdown:
  • Ford Ranger & Mazda BT-2500:

    These are the vehicles that use this engine. The Mazda B2500 was a rebadged Ford Ranger, also known as the Mazda B-Series in some markets. 

  • WL Engine Family:

    The WL is a series of 2.5-liter inline-four diesel engines developed by Mazda, which Ford also used. 

  • WL-T (Turbocharged):

    The “T” signifies the addition of a turbocharger to the base naturally aspirated WL engine, which forces more air into the cylinders to create more power, torque, and improve fuel efficiency. 

  • 2.5L / 2500cc:

    This is the displacement of the engine, meaning the total volume of the cylinders is 2.5 liters or 2500 cubic centimeters. 

  • Diesel:
    The engine runs on diesel fuel.
  • Key Characteristics:
    The WL-T engines are known for their robustness, good low-end torque, and relatively simpler, reliable designs.
The Mazda B2500 and Ford Ranger use the 2.5L WL-T (turbocharged) engine, a>2.5-liter, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, diesel engine, known for being a turbo-diesel unit that uses a variable geometry turbocharger and Bosch common-rail direct fuel injection to produce around 141 hp and 330 Nm of torque. Key features include a DOHC 16-valve design, a high-temperature resistant turbine, and a lightweight aluminum compressor housing.
