I know this is an old thread, but I converted three more of these to HID for my Land Rover. Basically the same procedure: Started with this: pulled the H3 bulbs and zip tied in the HID: Plugged in the ballast. It is all plug and play: all tucked into the housing: And the results...

Are those the copper gaskets I gave you? I dont remember what brand they are, but they were pretty expensive if I remember. They are two layers of copper with a "crush" type stuff sandwiched in them. They arent supposed to leak. Did you find where the oil line was? There is a pipe thread T at...

Between 23 and 25mph on pavement. I bypassed the governor; they normally do 12mph.

I will get some pictures. They make a perfect 15' circle at about 150' while also giving light to the sides.

They are 5000k.

If you are going to mod the car for drag racing, get the Camaro. It is the cheaper car to make horsepower in. If you want the car for any other reason, get the Mach. I love the 4v motor; you cant beat the noise it makes at 7krpm. Heres my 4v.

I havent been around in a while because I dont have the Explorer anymore. But I figured some of the offroad guys would be interested in these. I have been building a lifted golf cart and decided I wanted to have some large HID lights on a light bar. I was going to buy the Chinese 7" HIDs you...

I have been looking at wheels for my Cobra and I really like the FR500s. Is your car lowered any? I was worried that staggered 17's would look funny on a non lowered car.

You should check the vacuum line going to the BOV. If it isnt venting, you could blow them by suddenly letting off of the throttle. It is the line that is T'd into the brake booster line and runs across the firewall. And if you want to run a muffler, install it before the turbo. If it is...

I just have too many other projects and I am not driving it because of the exhaust leak. This is how it looks right now... And behind it is this.... And I am also building this.... And this, getting ready for summer.

Galvanized pipe releases toxic fumes when it is heated- I wouldnt recommend using. Although I did use one piece in my setup because I had it and it was the perfect angle. And since this is my thread, I have an update. My truck is currently in the shop having the headers installed. I sold the...

You need the correct wiring harness- there is one that plugs into one of the unused connectors behind the radio that gives you an RCA jack. Mine didnt have an RCA, but I just spliced one on. This is all you need to make the sub work. This is what I did:

Thanks for the info. I went with 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers instead. They should be here tomorrow. For the little my Tahoe gets driven, I couldnt really justify the $3-400 price difference between the Nittos and BFGs.

I'm bringing this back from the dead- I am also shopping for some 285/70/17s for my Tahoe. I have BFG MTs on it right now and they make too much noise. How much noise do the ATs make? I really like the aggressive tire look, but road trips give me a sore throat (from talking over the tires).

I didn't see if anyone mentioned it, but there is a bolt into the subs magnet from the back. I pulled my stock sub and replaced it with an 8" Swiss Audio. I am still using the stock amp with an aftermarket HU and it sounds pretty good. People cant believe so much bass can come from an 8 in the...

Why not install a 4406 part time 4wd TC?

same block.

Those look great, very similar to the ADR M-classic wheels I am planning on going with. What is the offset of those?

A limited would have monochromatic paint and body cladding, and mesh style wheels.

I would spend a few days researching different setups over at theturboforums.com first. The same principals for any turbocharged gas vehicle will apply to your Explorer. For the turbocharger itself, something with a 60-70mm compressor with a P-trim turbine will be a good starting point. Be...

I have great hopes of redoing my entire setup this winter and switching to an A/W intercooler. To make more room under the hood, I am going with a spider type intake. This way I can have my intercooler core right on top of the valve cover.

I didnt have any issues with mine- I installed them and my MAF at the same time. I just put them in and loaded my tune and it ran. I then datalogged some step revving and sent the file to James. The next day I had a tune I could drive the truck with. A week later it would do this :)...

What do you mean they wouldnt work? The 39s are a direct drop in replacement- the 42's have a different connector and require adapter harnesses. The 42's work in older 5.0 Explorers.

Trying to make big power with a m90 is a losing battle. There is a guy here (Alex) making about as much power as you possibly can with one and was still stuck in the 14's. It was on a fully built 5.0 SOHC engine. While another guy (Rob) ran mid 13's with basically a stock 4.6 and a KB 2.2 at the...

My custom tune for my turbocharged Explorer was just the price of the SCT Flasher (<$400). Maybe you should look elsewhere for tuning ;)
