heres the new progress theres no reason why it shouldnt be running tomorrow. The hotside and new downpipe is done. Just have to tap the timing cover for another return line and hook up and cold side.

Cut the flange out on my break tonight all ready for tommorrow. I have all the parts and tools.

upgrade on the way should be up and running tomorrow. ill add the progress to my build thread.

My 4.0 has the M5OD Im already going to be upgrading this weekend. I'm running some tests with fuel pressure and hotside back pressure.

The red tops you have in now are 19lb injectors. 5.4L na motors also have 19#ers I would try and find 30lb red tops out of the thunderbird sc from 89-93 they will be a direct replacement. You will have to tune the ecu for that big of a change however. with the stock ecu 21lb injectors and 5psi...

Im not trying to hurt anyones feeling geeze. I was simply stating some facts that are known facts not my theories. You came here saying "oh look at that I made more power that you did" yet you failed to take all the differences into account such as....drivetrain/tuning/type of dyno/mods/tire...

well i have 21lb pink tops from a 01 mustnag 4.6L. You can find 24lbers in lincoln mark 8s with the 4.6L dohc, 30lbers in the thunderbird 3.8L SC red tops. (the red tops in the explorer are 19lbers) lightnings have 42lbers green topped....all of those will be dirrectreplacment as long as they...

I also have 31s not sport tires. That accounts for some loss. Small turbo/ no intercooler/ stock ecu. Theres alot of reasons why my hp number was low. My torque curve looked good the boost was full on by 2000 creating a low peak torque. As I also mention again your truck was on a dynojet not a...

i built it myslef lol and im mounting a fuel pressure gauge tonight im going experiment with getting fuel pressure up and taking it for a spin. Ill have my dyno sheet up soon. There were 20+ cars dynod in a few hours so I accidently got someone elses sheet. John told me to stop by anytime and...

first of all you spent more than a 100$ correct? second was your truck dynod on a dyno jet or a mustang dyno? It looks like thats a dyno jet right which also shows higher numbers usually sometimes anywhere from 5-20% more than a mustang dyno which my xploder was strapped too. Second your...

hp numbers didnt look so good but i gained about 100+ ft lbs of torque down low over stock with only 5psi on an untuned 100$ turbo kit so I cant complain

thanks. it was fun there was about 20 stangs and even a GT500 a bmw and a cammed small block el camino. It was fun but freezing cold. Im inpressed on what it can do. I need a fmu to boost fuel presure now as its obvious bumping the pressure up did the trick as the AFRs stayed at a steady 10-11...

I net up around 9 today for stangnation.coms dyno day at horse power ranch. Lots of cars showed up 60$ for 3 pulls including BBQ. John the owner was great. First run my truck was leaning out at 15AFR past 3000 so he cut it. Heres the first pull.... He asked if I just wanted to run it. I told...

Your not going to see that mcuh of a gain. If it were a boosted application you could possibly build an upper box style manifold.

I take it back he figured out a way t oget aroudn the steering box with the remote mounting plate that many companies carry for the modular motor. Heres the full thread on his 4.6L ranger 4x4 swap http://therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32615

One of the problems however is on GEn 1 explorers the steering box is on the inside of the frame which will cause an issue. There is one guy over at therangerstation that was working on a 4.6L 2v 4wd swap in a earlier chassis however he hasnt dug in that far I belive. There steering si goin gto...

Actually the weight isnt going to be that bad. Im willing to bet a 4.6L barely weighs a bit more than a heap of iron 4.0L. The 4.6L will fit under the oem hood as it generally sits lower than a 5.0. However the 4.6L is quite a bit wider than a 5.0. The problem areas on the early generation is...

Bigger camms just move the power band up higher usually and if its a mild cam the gains will be so small its not worth the money. I dont belive anyone makes a cam for the SOHc but i could be wrong. Bigger cams can also reduce fuel economy/drivability/emmissions. Do your self a favor and save up...

Yes the 4.0 ohv and sohc are different but Im just giving you ideas of where to look.

Im working on fuel enrichment so I can turbn the boost up. Ive been practicing TIG welding so i can get my new intake setup welded up. I still need a wideband but funds are tight. Last weekend I installed a muffler now its nice and silent sleeper like...much better than an open DP. ALso...

when the oil leave the turbocharged it leaves in a frothing mess. If the line has any low spots or the drain is below the sump line it will cause the oil to back up. This will allow oil to eventually overpower the seals and oil can escape into either the compressor housing or turbine housing...

Badass. Ive seen the thread over at TTF looks liek your turning it up a notch thats awesome

the chyslers turbo I (non-intercooled)to turbo II (intercooled)increased output was not just adding an intercooler in the mix. At 5 psi not having an intercooler is not as big of a deal as having no intercooler at 10psi. The intercooler was added as the turbododges were increased in the late 80s...

Yes im waiting on the future when someday I can afford a wideband 02 and at least a FMU so I can bring the boost up to around 10-12. Heres a small thing I am also adding to the revised intake setup. Im building an airbox for the cone filter to pull air from the cowl area.

i think those also had a torque convetor issue that can sound like a rod knocking. if it is a timing chain issue i sugest you get it fixed before the chain breaks and turns a valve into a piston poker and puches a nice hole thru a psiton alowing the piston to crumble into mutiple pieces leavin...

with what you want (torque and a little more hp) i would say M90 blower, headers and exhaust...that way your truck woulnt be down for long. A turbo kit would be a step better but the cost can be higher and your truck would be down for a while while a custom kit would have to be built.

still rolling down the road. The other day i did make a few changes like this one.... Im also possibly thinking of converting to twin turbo. I still need a FMU and wideband. I really want to ditch the 4.0 for a 12v cummins but thats going to take soem cash and time if I ever get to that.

Its been done in a few rangers 2wd and 4wd. You better have a fat wallet. I am also looking toward to a 5.9L cummins swap in my exploder If the excess funds ever fall into my hands. Ive been looking for a running swap truck. Ive found quite a few 89-90s trucks for under 2000 Well someday I hope...

That is a sequential twin turbo setup like the supras use

when you have both a supercharger and a turbocharger(s) its called twin charging. Theres also compound turbocharging where you can have multiple turbochargers feeding each other. In either case the boost pressure is multiplied when you compress already compressed air. Many people have twin...

Well someday I hope to make it happen. the toughest part would be stifening the chassis up and all new running gears; suspesion, springs, rear end, crossmember, x braces you name it. I hope someday ill be able to dig in. I have found many full running 89-90 cummins rams for under 2000. here...

Im planning to use a complete running donor truck so I can swap in the motor/trans/transfer and all the needed accesories. The firewall and tunnel will have to be modded of course to clear. A few rangers have done the 5.9 swap. Also if i body lifted the truck there may be less moddification to...

i run oem heat range standard champion copper cored plugs and have had no issues and i run 5psi of boost daily

Ive been shoping for a 5.9L 12v for my sport. Its goin gto be a while. Im trying to shop down a complete swap truck so i can have the motor/trans/tansfer to work with/......

Just screwing around

what gear ratio did your 03 come with? and excess wieght your dragging around? Tire size? Fully loaded options? Oh and i hate platinum plugs i stick to copper cored plugs. Platinums suck in my 02 they just use them becasue they last longer so you can be lazy and not change them. The coppers cost...

well theres many differen t ways to go. Not too many people support the early EEC IV but someone may be able to flash the ecu? You can also convert to a EEC V harness from a latter ohv setup then go with SCT xcal 2 PRP, Sniper tuning, or Tweecer RT to tune it. Or convert to megasquirt. the less...

if your going to get into fabrication a turbo would be a nice way too go. Turbo lag all depends on turbo size, motor setup, gearing, and tuning. The tiny turbo i have on my truck builds boost faster than most M90s wish. Im planning on possibly building a hotside only kit for the 4.0 ohv. Like i...

the only thing that is going to make it louder is a different muffler
