OK, now I have stroke, but how do I balance it? Harmonic balancer issues

This is going to be a big stumbling block for a few people The stock balance for a 5.0 explorer engine is 50z in A stroker engine will require a 28 oz in balance-- so a flexplate and harmonic balancer switch is needed. The flexplates are out there, but the explorer Harmonic balancer-pulley-dis trigger is all one unique unit for explorers-- When I purchased my stroker kit from Coast High-they found me one I assure you. However, even with my receipt ( no part number) they have...

1997 V8 Explorer PCM w/harness and transmission transplant in my 1977 351w F150

This is my work in progress thread to my 1977 F150. I purchased the truck as a stock 2wd swaped 351w / C6 truck with a 2.72 9" rear end. The minute I bought the truck I knew I was going to swap it to EFI but it needs to be done affordable as this is going to be my run around the shop work truck. I also know overdrive is about necessary these days so that needs to be in my upgrades to gain more power and fuel economy. This truck will be a daily driver so no antique tags for it. It will need a...

2000 AWD Xploder from Turbo back to NA

After getting an estimate on how much it would run me to fix up my Xploder with all new exhaust, cold side piping, and a bunch of other stuff done up the "right" way... I've decided to convert my Xploder back to NA form so that I can actually ENJOY the truck before I die of old age. Anyways... To start it off I ordered up a MAC cold air intake (I do not have the stock intake) and sold my FMS headers on ebay. I plan on buying a set of torque monster headers in the next week or so but am...

Turbo 4.0 SOHC

Hey! (Yes I’m aware there has been plenty of posts like this.) I have a few questions I’d like to spit out however. I want to turbo my 4.0 V6 SOHC. It’s a brand new engine. New tranny as well, so it’s almost asking for a boost. I don’t really want to go remote or rear-mounted. has anybody ever fabricated a header for there 4.0s? Or used a crossover? I’m interested to hear how everyone has turbod their x’s and how they did it. Any recommendations for me? Thank you!

How To: Turbo a 4.0L; A basic synopsis.

Parts and Info for my Turbocharged 4.0 from my thread http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426937 This list is the basic parts (major items) I used to end up with a turbocharged 4.0 OHV.

Boost comes on fast if you want to get on the go pedal but it also allows you to...

Turbocharging a stock 4.0 SOHC Explorer

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 explorer migh perform like if it was at sea level..?? what if I go down to sea level..?? the 4.0 SOHC uses a MAF sensor, so the increase of airflow under boost will make the ECM dump more fuel... or...

4.0 OHV Performance Build - An extremely capable daily!

Hello, Let me preface this post by saying that this is my first ever post in a forum, so if I'm doing something wrong, let me know. This thread is a follow-along of the build for my 1994 Explorer XLT 4.0 OHV. I just figured that other 1st gen enthusiast, like myself, would enjoy seeing my unique approach to building my 4.0 to be an extremely capable daily driver. As for the truck, I purchased it in Seattle, WA for $1000 with 150k miles on it. At 200k I managed to blow the head gasket...

4.3l sohc v6?

It's been several years since there's been any posts on this subject so I decided to start a new thread to discuss it. There are several ways to significantly increase the power and torque of the SOHC V6: supercharging, turbocharging and stroking. All three are fairly expensive modifications and many members would probably comment why bother when it's possible to upgrade from a V6 Explorer to a V8 Explorer for less money. Well one reason is the V8 was not available in the 2 door Explorer and...

'99 Explorer LS Swap Finished - Was has anyone done it?

Go go gadget flame suit :D Has anyone ever done a Chevrolet LS series motor swap in their 2nd gen explorer, or any gen explorer for that matter? I know it is a popular swap for fox body cars. Links or pics would be appreciated. The google didn't yield much. I saw a thread with an 01 sport, but the project didn't appear to get anywhere. Thanks! (Edit) - This turns into a build thread...

PCM tuning options

What’s out there these days for stock 5.0 PCM tuning options? I have an old SCT X3 with tunes from Henson Performance but I believe those are as good as useless now since he is no longer doing tuning? I would like the option of being able to do my own tweaking but still use a software that has support and could get professional help with, possibly a “base tune” for a given configuration. Any recommendations or shared experiences would be great. I am possibly looking at a boosted application...
