Hey guys, long time no post... I've slowly been restoring the old 01 sport. The paint was pretty shot and I've managed to get it looking 10X better by loving on it with touch-up paint and many hrs of buffing. I've also completely customized the interior to modernize. The truck still runs...

Well, I had my local dealer locate a 2013 explorer sport. The car will be here tomorrow morning, should be on it's way now. I still have a 2001 STS turbo charged sport sitting in the driveway, I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. Will see if the new one can compete. Looking forward to...

(still alive) - Jakee's remote mounted turbo explorer sport It's technically not dead...yet. But I'm giving the turbo explorer to my oldest son. We've turned the boost down to 10lbs and I've done a lot of work to get this thing as street friendly as possible. Anyone with a 19 year old son...

Maybe someone can use these high compression pistons? If they're truly forged pistons, it seems like a steal.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-RANGER-4-0-V6-SOHC-CP-RACE-PISTON-SET-CUSTOM-STROKER-JE-MAHLE-MANLEY-302-/280918666800?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item41680eae30&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1202

It's a mustang but the X Charger kit started off for the explorers (4.0 SOHC). I'm doing this install for a buddy of mine out of good faith. Here we go.... The parts...

I've been helping the mustang crowd come up with a decent set of rods to use in place of the stock forged I-beam rods and I've found a couple different options out there. I want to use this thread for documentation purposes for all the options found and eventually, there will be info about all...

As the title says....I'm determined to make this Transmission hold this amount of power. I know most guru's don't like the 5R55E and probably think it's a lost cause. The problem I have is I'm pushing this Transmission to the limits without a problem. James has pushed this Transmission to the...

4.0 SOHC turbo charger project Guys - I'm done....well, almost (you know how that goes) I've drove the truck around today very safely and all I can say is wow...I love this and I'm very glad I did it. I'll have to say I went thru a lot to get this far and lost a few buddies along the way...

I found this and wanted to share. Because I wanted a quiet, straight-thru designed muffler, I decided on the Borla Pro XS.

I've searched and haven't been able to find a direct answer to this. I've seen that guys on here have used urethane for earlier models but I'm not sure if this would work for mine. Does anyone make these urethane bushings anymore? I thought I had them from truckperformance.com but found out...

I've been doing a lot of research on headers. I was told to go with shorties. Others say shorties will do nothing. I've read on some mustang boards that shorties will do nothing, and that long tubes is the way to go with the 4.0 SOHC. In all my research I've came to the conclusion that no...

Anyone have the PT# for the PCV valve on a 01 EX sport? The ford parts house is having a hard time giving me the right part.

After Camber adjusters, Body bushings, rear sway bar, and brakes are complete, I'll be posting baseline dyno numbers. First things first. Must be safe! EDIT (11-6-2007) Let me save you some time by posting the summary to this thread. The thread is filled with a bunch of off topic...

Anyone know anything about this mod? Fab a bracket that mounts on one of the throttle body bolts. The bracket will have a momentary cut off switch for the alternator. What you want to do is to locate the bracket in just the right position so that when at WOT the switch will be pressed...

I haven't been able to find anyone that manufactures this spacer for my 2001 Ford Explorer sport 4.0 SOHC. If you know of one then please let me know. If not, i'm planning on building myself. I've found a couple of suppliers for the material. Please let me know if you've found any...
