5 speed..? HA! Of course it's a 5 speed! Man it's pretty quick, and I love the feel of the turbo kicking in, and at max boost (I'd say around 4500-5000 RPMs, I don't really pay attention to the gay stock boost gauge that doesn't even have numbers on it) this mother pulls HARD! Anyway, yeah...

Hey Godfather, I just purchased a '95 GS-T Eclipse with 100k for $5000. The engine is in good condition, just old. The turbo spools pretty quickly, and man it's a pretty quick car. I like it alot. Just thought I'd thank you for writing all that, cause I went to read up them right after I...

I also am going to give up the supercharger. I figured after all it's done, it's going to be around 4k or so. I just don't know if it's worth it. And I'm with Godfather, I have a friend with a turbo 99 civic SI and man it's sweet. I think I'm going to get a 5th gen (92-95) civic hatchback...

CRX = $1000 B16A1 + tranny + ECU = $1500 Total = $2500 CRX + B16A1 + tranny + ECU = 14s. :bounce: For less than a supercharger would cost on an Explorer, I would get a new car and run 14s. That's a good deal. But the only thing is.. they're so small.. and I'm so big.. I might go...

LOL Kontrol. Yeah he ran a 16.04, and yes it's a 2WD sport. Hmm.. I might just give up on the X and buy a CRX or civic hatch. 5k = a new car and 14s. I said I might.. don't flame me either. :D

Hey guys, I was talking to a friend of mine (Actually someone from this forum) and he was telling me about this track experience tonight, he ran a 16.04 bone stock with a 98 SOHC V6. That's pretty impressive. His is an automatic, and he said that he shifts at 6000 RPMs. Is thiat true for all...

LOL thanks expo, I needed the laugh.

Hey guys, there's this guy in my neighborhood that has a supercharged thunderbird, and it just sits there. I've never seen it move, so I'm going to ask him if he'll sell the supercharger on it. But my question is, will I have to get the same custom fab plenum for the thunderbird's S/C as I am...

Okay thanks alot Blk, I've been looking at Granatelli MAS and they're priced at $315, how come the Pro-M is $230 if they're the same product? Also, do you sell the Pro-M? If so, how much? Wally

I was told by someone (or I read somewhere) that the Cobra or Mustang's MAS will fit our 4.0 OHV engines. Is this true? Because if it is, then that'll save us bunches of money cause they're a dime a dozen. Man I just think I'm going to give up on the Explorer and buy an import... or not. Man...

Hey guys, thanks alot. I've decided that I'll wait until this engine goes bye-bye before I do a cam swap or any heavy work. This is my daily driver, so mpg is going to be sacrificed by hp gains, and that's not a good thing. All my money is going to be wasted on this ****. But when I do waste...

Alright so I was checking out Vanirtech and I came across some cams. I've heard that with the 4.0 OHV engine, you can pull a good 250hp with a good street cam, and personally, I don't have a clue what that means. LOL. So my question is, what exactly does a cam do? How much does it cost...

Yeah that helped alot, thanks. Now I definately need some better ones, because I'm afraid to make a quick jerk because I always feel like I'm going to roll when I'm cruising at 70+mph, and when I was riding Alec's car (he has the saleen sway bars), his handled like it was going 30mph, and we...

I talked to the guy from Performance Products, Mike T, and he said in an email.. wait let me get it: Mike: "No, I do not think you should change the MAF (mass airflow meter) or the TB (throttle body), as the factory units have plenty of airflow capacity for those engines with significantly...

Now I'm even more confused! :confused: Does that mean I have the 4R55E? Cause Baumann says that the 5R55E only with SOHC. Hehe, all I know is that they don't make a shift kit for my car :(

What do sway bars actually do? I know their a suspension mod, but no clue what they're used for, someone fill me in please :confused: Hey Godfather, when you get the TB in and install it, please tell me if you feel any gains because I was told earlier this morning if I'm not going to go...

I have a 99 Sport OHV, and I have the 5 speed auto tranny. But what model is it? I was told i had the 5R55E or something like that.. and I can't find a shift kit! I'm going to try to give Baumann a call later this week.

Great! Let me know how much the fab work is going to be, and if it's cheap enough, then I'll go ahead and order it, do the work with a few buddies of mine and try to hide it from the parents for a few weeks/months/years, whichever is applicable hehe. I also got my 2.5" tailpipe from a local...

Great! It's going to be held in Houston, so count me there. Yeah when the times arrives, give me your contact info Godfather and maybe we could meet up. If Alec is interested then we could all meet up somewhere. I love supras so much.. I would take it over a viper or anything any day! Man...

I think I'm going to go ahead with the TB without my parents knowing. Also maybe the MAS as well.. but not sure about that cause it's costly and I've heard people say it doesn't work that well or give you that much gains. I might stick with the JET module for now, but I should really switch to...

hehe, yeah they don't have to know about everything, but then again I live with them. So unless I can install the supercharger in less than a day at a friend's house, then it's going to be nearly impossible. Especially with my skills.. or lack of. Hell I don't even know how to change my oil...

I heard that it's not good to dual out a V6 cause of the backpressure isn't enough so you'll lose lots of low end torque. As with the V8, the exhaust is super restrictive so you have to dual it out so you can pump all that air comin' in. I went to a local meineke with some dudes runnin' it...

Yeah I met up with Alec the other night and went for a ride on his car. It's pretty amazing how fast it goes from 45 to 60. Nice off the line jump too, and man... that whine just makes me smile. I want one...:( And with that nitrous set up and what Alec was telling me, a good 55 shot...

Hey Godfather, you can check out (dead link) they have it I'm sure cause I checked. :) Alright so I got my ass chewed out by my parents. I told them that I'm going to put nitrous back on it, and my mom startin' freakin' out about how it's a new car and it's so big and no matter what...

Hey Godfather, I can get an Eaton M90 off a GM brand new for about $500 bucks plus shipping. That's more than half off of what that Brian paid. It was basically made for the GM supercharged cars (GTP, Grand Prix, Park Avenue, etc.) and I was told it would fit with custom fabs of the...
