I am happy to see a street area here! I have a 92 explorer, but I have a few problems: My Tach is off, alot, when the key is off, it is at 0 but when I turn on the key, it jumps to 3000 and when the engine is running, it moves between there and 4000, anyone know what's up?
Second Dead Link Removed I put 235/60's on my truck, and the speedo is off.. well the Ford parts store here wanted to make me a new one..ha! any one know where I can get a new one so my speedo will be accurate?
Lastly... I want to put a performance chip in, what is the best one for my Explorer??
Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Man I totally forgot about this area. Oh well! I just ordered Borla headers and a Borla cat-back, hopefully I'll be able to find a way to put in the headers. I am also modifing my airbox in a little different way than everyone else. I'll try to get some pictures when I'm done.

Glad to see I could revive a 3+ year old thread.

It is amazing how the site has evolved to include and accept the street trucks!

 

[STANN]

why would you do that...is it gettin some miles on it or something?

 

[JOHN V.]

Honestly, we were disappointed with the performance. The centrifugal type blower does not spool up until about 3000 rpm's. With a 5000 rpm redline, performance is shortlived and there is a substantial bog prior to boost. On top of that, it was very noisy. Overall, not a good bang for the buck. We removed it with intentions of installing the Eaton unit from BBK. The BBK kit took about three years to materialize. By that time I was satisfied enough with performance and we went on to supercharging V8 &V6 SOHC Explorers with our own Eaton kits.

Here's mine the other day when it was clean

Here is my sport truck. I love it and man it is FUN to drive. I just installed my Baumann shift kit the other day. I decided to go with stage 4 (thanks for the recommendation James) I love the shift between 1-2 usually it would shift decent and all but it would kind of fall behind if i was in a race. Now it lurches forward and throws me into my seat. And that is from a pretty much stocker V-8 for now. Wont be able to be considered stock too long being that the shift kit was shipment 1 of 2 including my injectors, chip, and mas from blk mk8. Then i shall install the charger. All in all i love my vehicle and would not trade it for a Lightning!!!
