    Question to all 5.0 guys!

    the shop making me the cam (the owner himself) has told me that i should see a 60 hp gain at the wheels in a very useable range with the cam he's building that is like 80 hp at the crank .... i don't know of any cam that gives you that much power in a usable range, without a higher stall tq...

    Turbocharged Explorer

    One major downside of a Turbo charged explorer is likely hood of burning your truck to the ground. The engine bay of the explorer is already tight with the 5.0L. Now, add to it more hot exhaust piping and one or two turbos? Yikes, it is going to be a cooker. I have heard of one Turbo Explorer...

    Turbocharged Explorer

    the design does increase the runner length, they (engineers) design a manifold for a specific torque rpm .... the long runners act like a ram manifold, increasing torque and horsepower in the lower rpms, at a cost of higher rpms horsepower loss, but the trade off is usually worth the loss of hp...

    1st gens what do you do for better brakes...

    i remember years ago 4liter performance added bigger front brakes to their 91 extended cab ranger, they also added a bigger master cylinder from an older full size truck .... they are no longer in the biz .... they are a mustang and focus specilists ... maybe if you take to dennis...

    Turbocharged Explorer

    Ah I see now how the intake manifold was modified. How do you have the idle air control passages set up? It looks like the area where the TB is mounted was fabricated instead of using the old mount that you must have cut off.....how did you do that part if you use the supercoupe/mustang(don't...

    Turbocharged Explorer

    so why the tempo front end .... tempo was the only front end that would fit with only minor mods, originally wanted to put a taurus front end on but to much work ..... i wanted an aero front end, the stock front end, and rear was about as aero as a school bus .... and when you are doing 140 the...

    Turbocharged Explorer

    here is another site ....http://www.imagestation.com/member/?name=racebronco2 ..... a similar set-up can be made for a ranger or explorer but the exhaust will be more difficult because of the battery, windshield washer, and stock air box, the exhaust up to the turbo will be the same, but the...

    Throttle Body Spacer and K&N?

    k&n filter will help ..... the tb spacers help too on some vehicles, i did notice the engine would rev quicker, same principle that has been used on carbs for years, they do not work on all vehicles .... as far as the tornado goes our cylinder heads already swirl the incoming air/fuel so they...

    please help

    you cannot use the 91 wiring harness for the 5.0 swap ... the 5.0 injectors fire individually and has 4 o2 sensors and the 91 the injecors fire 3 at a time, rightside then leftside etc .... and has only 1 o2 sensor and many more differences ... the wiring has to be redone to match the 5.0

    70mm or 75mm MAS

    if you are stock you won't need anything bigger than 70mm ... if you plan on forced induction then the 75 mm would be better

    dual o2 senors

    you cannot splice both sides into one ... you could get a different computer that does have two o2 sensors ... you could buy headers, since they do come with the y pipe ... you could get a y pipe from a ranger, explorer at a wrecking yard ... or you could go to ww.rangerpowersports ...

    dual o2 senors

    the 91's only had one o2 sensor so which side would you hook up .... it would work until the side that didn't have the sensor had a feul problem
