    Suggestions Needed to Improve 2006 V8 3V Performance!!!

    Hey guys, This is Doug with BamaChips... I now use Explorer Express as my retailer for my Explorer products. If you goto my website and click on the Explorer links then you'll note that it goes to their website. They handle all of the emails and customer service work and then send me...

    Dyno Tune Results

    On a stock pull, you do. If you dont then it can be done in 4th but there again it would have to be started at around 3500 rpm's to ensure it doesn't downshift into 3rd. I prefer the 2nd gear if I dont just lock it in gear. Thanks, Doug.

    Dyno Tune Results

    Hey Lazzman, Sounds like you may have a FP issue but do this, check the fuel pressure while idleing and then while driving. Your Fuel pressure should be 28-32psi at idle and around 38-42 psi at WOT. If you find that your FP drops quickly while driving, like it just spikes downward for a...

    Dyno Tune Results

    Hey guys, The reason I use 2nd or actually 3rd on 5-speed auto's, is due to a few reasons.... If you dyno your car in 4th gear then you'll find on a stock tune the speed limter setting at 92mph as it will hit it. With the auto if you punch it 4th, or 3rd on a 4-speed, it can...

    new intake problems

    Hey guy, I'm coming back out to San Fransico after the new year, probably more so around Febuary for some more tuning for EE. If you want to show up for a dynotune then I would glady tune your vehicle for the best power possible there. After all of my own personal experiences with the Pro-M...

    new intake problems

    The 20 rwhp is because the engine is running at a different load value and therefore not giving it the correct amount of spark, in your case it is giving it more spark at a higher load value and that is where your 20 rwhp gain is coming from. Spark tables on the 4.0 SOHC's are created...

    new intake problems

    Sure,you call it what you want but I call it mine and everyone at SCT's experienced tuning opinion. Don't take my word for it, call Don Lasota of Lasota Racing Technology.... The readings he's posted in themselves tell you that they have adjusted the output of the MAF and this is why it's...

    Scanners (and readers)....Who Uses What?

    I use my X-calibrator Version 2 programmer as it has DTC capabilities for all 96 and newer Ford's even the new CAN vehicles, both read and clear, and it can also datalogg any parameter in the PCM along with putting it on your Laptop screen to show it. I use this for my dynotuning as well...

    Reprogramming For Tire Size and Gear Ratios

    I use the website...www.1010tires.com for the tire size calculator there as it has sizes in inches as well as metric ratings. Also, one small thing to add on the tire and gear ratio adjustments. After 99' this could be done on the SOHC Explorer's in the PCM but it couldn't ever be done with...

    Diablo MAF externder, anyone?

    Well the one in South Ga I haven't heard back from in a while but I've ran across another guy in NC with not only a S/C 5.0 but he already has 30lbs injectors and a 80mm maf so he's on the right track to start from. I have a dyno day in planning on the 3rd weekend in January and he's gonna be...

    Diablo MAF externder, anyone?

    Get a larger MAF, anything you do to screw with the MAF readings is going to hurt you worse then help you any. For the price of most MAF extenders, around $150, you can get a used and even possibly new Lightning/Cobra 90mm MAF on Ebay. Both are going to require a retune anyway. thanks...

    90mm SCT MAF sensor

    Hey Bob, Yeah, that was Sadat's 2001 4.0 Automatic. He has a SSD4U cold air intake and Gibson cat-back exhaust. His was a 2wd Automatic as well. It was 84' degree's with 16% Humidity that day too so I guess it didn't make that big of a difference for the temps. Like I said though...

    90mm SCT MAF sensor

    No, not a shot but just the fact that it was making 180 rwhp to begin from is rather high for a stock 4.0, even with intake and an exhaust. I've seen those numbers but not very often. That is great that it took that kinda timing figures though, what kind of outside temps were you at? On the...

    90mm SCT MAF sensor

    Wow, that's good considering the 87 program doesn't add any timing. Of course with numbers starting off near 180 that doesn't surprize me from that dyno. As for using the BA2400 with a 4.0 even in supercharged format it is too large and just overkill. Yes, it's a great meter but not for...

    Hey guys, About a week ago I lost a number of emails because of a large file that was sent to me that locked out my outlook. Then when I was able to finally getthem it erased what I already had and just started over. You may have sent it to me then and I lost it. I've sent you a...

    Your half way right, the above information if for the electronic returnless fuel systems like those found on Mustangs and Escorts but on the Ranger's and Explorer's they have a Mechanical Returnless system that has a regulator mounted about 2" above the fuel pump in the tank and it runs a higher...

    I don't answer PM's on here as keeping up with them along with my emails can be very difficult. You need to goto my site and fill out either the contact form or vehicle form for more information. I check and answer my emails Monday through Friday nightly but I don't get to these sites...

    We ran into some more tuning issues, mainly doing the MAF in a blow through application was dealing us fits. Finally he came over yesterday and we rearranged the MAF system and it is now a draw through application, the MAF is in the rear of the truck underneath the bumper and there is a...

    X-calibrator version 2 with real photo's

    First off let me say that I am one of the Beta testing dealers and I have been able to enable the end user options for over a month now using the newest SCT dealer software. I also have full controll over the new Drive-By-wire systems in the 02'-up Explorer's so I can make these vehicles really...

    Any body do a water pump swap on a SOHC ?

    Hey guy, The hardest part is removing the fan, make sure you break it loose before you remove the belt. From there it's all pretty easy, the hose on top of it can be a pain and If you don't have a large enough set of pliers to remove it I'd recommend replacing the clamps with worm and...
