Explorer, Ranger, Mountaineer 4.0 - 4.6 - 5.0 Nitrous, Superchargers, Camshafts, Head Work, Stroker Kits... DRAG RACING. Explorers, Mountaineers and Rangers CAN move!
Finished up my m90 and just ordered some new oil for it. Should be good to go. In preparation for actually installing a supercharger, or a turbo, I'm sure everyone wants to add some gauges. I think boost/vacuum and AFR are pretty important. I would like to have some input from others on which vehicle components should be monitored when going with forced induction. I personally plan on using two PLX DM-6 gauges, which can connect to 16 sensors each, but I want two so that I can simultaneous display boost and AFR. I like that they are really thin and plan on installing them on the gauge bezel; they should only cover the PRNDL Haha. I don't want this post to be about which brand is best. I mentioned my plan to keep everyone updated with...
so i have a 2 door sport, 302 swapped with some tasteful mods and some nitrous. So I started off with a zex kit. Upgraded to a nos sniper kit. The thing is with the zex kit I was able to tie into my TPS sensor and have nitrous activate while only at WOT With the nos sniper kit I was given a micro switch that is activated by the throttle body lever that closes the circuit for the solenoids when activated at WOT Has anyone mounted a micro switch? If so how did you got about it. Thanks
OK, I know this isn't the right section but I need some visibility. 2015 F-250 Company Truck (106,000 Miles) Had a rough start issue on colder mornings so I figured spark plugs. Since it's a lease truck we can't work on them. Dealer came back and said spark plugs and the Electronic Throttle Body is failing. Never had any symptoms of that. Parts will not be available till Wednesday. Monday I am scheduled to go back to Miami (1,000 Miles and 13 Hours 1 way) We have an F-250 in the shop yard that I could use but I would have to transfer about 1,000 lbs of service tools that I need for the job. A real turd of a job because I basically live in my truck. QUESTION: Anyone have experience with a failing throttle body? Do they just go...
How much can be done to a 5.0L explorer without requiring tuning? Doing the swap on my '99 Ranger. Longblock I'm going to use initially is from a '98 Explorer, everything else is from a '00 Explorer. The '00 Explorer engine will be saved and built for later installation, and truck will be tuned then. Don't really want to be stuck with only what's left of the stock 215 HP until then. I recall reading several years ago when I got the '98 engine, that using 1.7 rockers with the Explorer cam put it about on par with a stock Mustang cam. The engine was purchased for a different project that never happened, but the plan was always to use Explorer EFI and really build the engine later. With that in mind I purchased and installed a set of...
Good day, I have the need for speed but unfortunately I don’t know how fast I am going. I have a 302 swapped 2 door sport with no working Speedo I was wondering if anyone can help me. It’s a 97 body 00 5.0 engine and ecu 04 mustang transmission 4r70 8:8 rear i did the swap 5 years ago, I remember I had to pin out the tach in order to get it to read correctly but I don’t remember having to do it for the Speedo. it has the sensor in the rear. I swapped it out with a new one but had no effect. im new to the forums and was not sure were to post this but since the truck was built with the idea of speed implied I figure I would come here. thank you.
