turbo

I call my mustang the moose so I guess this 1998 ford explorer eddie bauer 5.0 awd thing is going to be called the moose knuckle. I'm bored as hell at work so figured why the hell not make a build page. Built by Cole's Custom Fab in Annville, Pennsylvania. Engine: 5.0/302 331 stroker 4.030 kit...

I saw a post of a picture of a saleen style explorer and i love that look and want to sorta recreate that but in my own way and want my explorer to be a little faster, by little i mean i want a blower in it. i just dont know where to start what to buy first, i dont care about exterior look right...

I bought a used 14’ Sport in January with 86k. Love the power of my car, I added a K&N cai and Diablo Sport tune. At 90k I had my passenger front wheel bearing changed. 99k a/c compressor, dryer, orifice tube, and front strut mounts. Thank God for extended warranties! I’ve only paid $100 for...

Just watched a video of some guy complaining about F150's and said he would never buy ford again. The issue seemed simply to resolve, curious what has been tried or if/how the issue has been resolved. The issue was water build up in the intercooler, which meant a quick jab at the throttle would...

Hi all, New here and far from a car expert but have been digging around a ton through the posts and haven't seen this issue. I'd love all your input/guidance please! I have a new 2018 Sport that just crossed 2,000 miles. All stock everything. Overall I love it but unless I'm crazy (and I...

Can anyone tell me what year they began using these models. I have been trying to find a turbo PIU but someone told me they came began in 2015 so we wont see used models for a while. Is this true? I know the Taurus PI has been using this since 2013.

I'm no car guy, I'm into the appearance of a car, but at the same time the performance. I don't know much about engines. I know though, that supercharging and turbocharging gives more power(?). I am considering one of those options on my 04' XLS Base model. I would like more power, a better...

Hello ExplorerForum, Been a frequent lurker for the past 5 years but never had any questions to ask until recently. My trucks been very well maintained over the course of it's *known* life. It's been smooth all the way up until the start of last year, transmission starting to slip, engine now...

Finished up my m90 and just ordered some new oil for it. Should be good to go. In preparation for actually installing a supercharger, or a turbo, I'm sure everyone wants to add some gauges. I think boost/vacuum and AFR are pretty important. I would like to have some input from others on which...

Hello every one I am starting this to doc my new project that I am doin now. you guys may remember me from my white 98 turbo 4.0L 2wd 5spd sport The new Sport that I am working on now is 98 sport 2wd 5spd with 4.0L but I am taking out the v6 and replacing it with the motor that I had...

Hey all, I'm getting some crazy surge-like behavior from my new (~1500 miles) 2014 Explorer Sport. It feels like I'm hitting a rev limiter, and unlike anything I've read about on here. Other surging issues on here seem to deal with loss of power, and usually at a high speed/rpm. This is not...

Okay so I've been looking into a water methanol injection kit and from what I've read on a turbo you can add big amounts of boost but on a high compression engine you cannot turbo it because of the compression so if you used a water meth kit couldn't you add more boost then the 4-5 psi of the...

Hi all, first post I just would like to be informative. Ex lost acceleration on monday afternoon while coming on to highway heard loud vacuum sound in cabin while Ex merged on to roadway slowly and eventually got up to 50mph. Tried flooring it several times with same results even at highway...

Well.. Today, I hooked the oil lines to and from my turbo. I ran the feed line off the oil pressure switch, which I teed off. I also, ran my oil return line and activated my pump which sends the oil back into the oil filler neck. Well.. I started my car up, went and checked my rear mount...

I was thinking about putting a low compression turbo in my 2001 ranger 2.5L 4cyl. I have also thought about swapping out my motor to any 6 cylinder that will fit. I currently have 33" tires and a stock differential. While I'm at it, what is the best way to increase my track width for not that...

Hey guys, I have a few questions. I plan on doing a STS Universal Remote mount turbo system on my 2007 Eddie 4.6l v8.:D 1. What other upgrades (internal, fuel, tranny) i know i would probably need a fuel pump, Injectors, and obviously a tune. Are there any other upgrades that i would need...

Does anybody ever done such a thing? I'm wondering if the stock ECM will handle like 4 o 5 psi of boost without any mods? I live at the Andes mountains, at 6.600 feet of altitude and the atmospheric pressure here is around 9 psi, so I figure if I add 4 or 5 psi of turbo boost the...

I recently picked up a novi 1000rr thinking it could fit on my mustang. NOPE. So maybe I can fit it on my truck. MAF is not going to be an issue for me, but a bracket will be. I heard they used to put Vortech's on the 4.0 OHV. Maybe somebody can make a custom bracket for me, or theres one...

in the quest for more power the question is always turbos or superchargers. A friend of mine has done some research and was able to build a "kit" to do a twin turbo installation to my 4.0. we have also found superchargers that we could get to fit (i dont remember brands off hand so please dont...
