performance

Hey everybody, I recently purchased a used 1997 Explorer XLT AWD V8. I am wondering, could I put an aftermarket intake manifold such as the cobra one, from a 93 mustang 5.0 onto my 97 explorer 5.0 with no custom fabrication or anything? Doesnt have to be cobra, can be trickflow, BBK, etc. (bbk...

I have a 4.0 L automatic 4X4 1995 explorer and its got a serious miss and very poor mileage. I would love to save the truck but am thinking it may need a new drive train. I would love to upgrade to a V8 but am aware they were not equipped with this option in that year. I would love to drop a...

Hey guys, It's my first time on the forum. I got a 2000 Explorer XLS 4.0 OHV. I was recently at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit this past weekend. And I loved it. It got me to want to boost my Explorer. I was wondering what were some of you guys' best performance modifications on a...

So I'm new here, just got a new (to me) 2000 Explorer XLT 4.0 V6 SOHC. I want to do some stuff to improve the performance of the truck, I already put on new Flowmaster exhaust since it needed it anyway. Anybody have some ideas for not too expensive mods and improvements I could make...

Hey all its been awhile since ive been on so im not sure who all is gonna see this im hoping people who can give me some help. My 93 explorer is becoming a huge threat to the local hondas and acuras. My question is on camshafts - im gonna be installing one in mine this summer. I will be buying...

ok i know very little about the specs on my 1994 expo it has of coarse a 4.0 but how can i get maximum power for minimum cash without a engine swap because i was considering going with a gen 2 SOHC but heard about the timing issues and said ok ill go with a 5.0 out of a 96 explorer but it seems...

Looking to do a few things to my 97 5.0 AWD Ex. Im more interested in making it more of a performance road truck (nothing crazy like lowering or stuff like that) rather than an off-roader Just looking to spruce it up a little. 1) Performance parts for the Engine. Stuff that you guys like...

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but it was the closest I could find for my questions. What is involved to take a stock 98 5.0 & say ether add a turbo or supercharger. I know a few of the obvious things like intake & exhaust & having to tweak the computer to accept it all but...

After going through new upper ball joints in 2 months, and having the inner tie rods blown apart, I did some searching for something stronger. If you have anything to contribute, please do! :thumbsup: What I found: Dixon Bros has a super HD set up for big bucks. Out of my price range. Outers...

Any experience with upgraded injectors, e.g. the Bosch 4 hole injectors. Is the claim true about improved mileage and better performance? Also I saw some posting about upgrading to a cobra MAF, e.g. 70 or 80 mm. Does it improve performance? What's involved? Can you just exchange one for...

in the quest for more power the question is always turbos or superchargers. A friend of mine has done some research and was able to build a "kit" to do a twin turbo installation to my 4.0. we have also found superchargers that we could get to fit (i dont remember brands off hand so please dont...

hey everyone, im looking for a 3" (70mm) throttle body for my first gen explorer. im lined up to possibly get my intake ported but im gonna need the bigger throttle body. Does anyone have a throttle body that will bolt up to the Ford 4.0L OHV that is 70mm and will sell it reasonablly priced...

I was wondering if anyone has heard of or had any luck installing a big brake kit on their Explorer. I'm looking to find a kit that will upgrade the calipers and rotors to larger sizes. I'm not too fond of the weaksauce rear calipers. I currently have a 1995 2WD with ABS (although i may turn...

Ok everybody has probably heard about SLR Motorsports $50 performance chip that supposedly gives a 50HP/torque gain. has anyone heard any reviews/used them/now anyone whos used them that can give me some feed back? It sounds legit but also sounds to good to be true. If its is a scam can...

I recently started a new job with enough pay to actually start building up my exploder again, albeit slowly. So, I've been brainstorming with my buddys about what all I should do. The short answer is; everything. (It's a 1999 XLT 4.0 SOHC) So, I'll start with the stuff I DON'T know how...

I am interested in getting more mpg's with my 2000 Ford Explorer Sport (not the sport track, just 2 door version) It has the V6 4.oL OHV engine. I am only getting 14mpg combined!! Only has 97,000 miles and I just flushed the tranny, 4x4, and I am running Mobil 1 Full synthetic. I was thinking...

Hey everyone! glad to be a part of this forum! I do have a question right off the bat though, I was looking around at some performance chips/programmers to try and find something for my 1998 explorer XLT with v6 SOHC. I found this programmer online and was wondering if anyone could shed...

:us: Gentlemen, I love my '04 ST. I have 118k miles on it. Its paid off (finally). I was wondering if anyone has replaced the 4.0 engine with a Mustang GT 5.0 H.O? Is this even possible? I want to kick my truck in the butt! What are some the best mods to do for speed/sound/look till I figure...
