Kenne Bell install completed on my 5.0 Explorer engine
Well, after long last, I finally completed my Kenne Bell 1.5L supercharger install on the Explorer enigne I have in my 1999 Ranger. I have several things to work out, but it is up and running and the blower fits within the stock engine bay. I did have to do a VERY minor modification to the cowl, but other than that, nothing new.
I have some issue, which is limiting me to 4psi boost with a 6 psi pulley, so I need to figure that out. Once I get to 6-7psi, I think I will be really happy with it. The low end jump has been greatly improved andI get a nice firm pull all the way to the 4800rpm auto shift.
I will be getting a FordChip dyno tune in a month or so and upping to 90mm MAF, 75mm TB and 36lb injectors at the same time. That is when the fun really begins.
Check out the following for some pics.

You can also click on "homepage" below for others. I will post a full list of details in a week or two, listing out the parts and modifications necessary if someone else wants to do this. Overall, it was pretty straight forward.
