To start off with the reason I said about the 2.9 is due to the fact that the 4.0 is so much more durrable than the 2.9 liter, and Im was stating a fact of what I did with the 2.9. As far as the 10 lbs of boost goes. Everyone has their own opinion about something. Ok,, then maybe keep your comments to yourself until you actually do a forced induction 4.0 L motor you don't have nothing to stand on. But your guessing and think I know it all attitude. Unless you have some proof to back it up . Otherwise who cares. I mean all your vast knowledge you say you have. .Then why aren't you here making all these turbo kits and selling them since you are "God of the turbo section"?
Im not sitting here ragging on your truck running 20lbs of boost on a regular 4.6 L. I don't care what you have you can do what you want . I didnt mislead anybody in my post, you just took it the wrong way. I was very clear on my explanation. Your just to quick to judge and make adverse comments on something you say you have knowledge on. What experience and knowledge do you have to back up your claims?? I have the FMU on the engine as a back up, I do not have an after the market stand alone fuel injection system that I can just hook my laptop up toand change the peramiters I am not relying on the FMU for proper tuning of my truck. Like I stated in my last post aparently you are not reading it correctly.
or maybe you really don't understand it . My Air Fuel Ratio is 11.7. For your information! I have been working as a technition atleast 25 years and I have built and tuned all of my vehicles ,freinds and customers. Plenty of long term
research and knowledge. I am not the type of person that you are stating that I stand around and watch people work on my cars, so don't be so quick to think you are better then anyone else and make judgement calls when you have no Idea of who I am and where I came from. You have allot of nerve sitting here making those acusations. Maybe you do that. But I don't care.
This is such imature crap and I am too busy to waste time on little things like
this. Oh and the mention about the car on Pinks was a referance not to rub it into anybodys face. I would agree that there are some idiots on pinks, but thats my opinion. and really who cares if you go and have a blast and the experience is something not everyone has had.. But Im not bashing either. You said that in a quote of your comment "You get what you pay for" so how can you fortell that my kit is junk, when you havn't even seen my kit in person. You stress facts here but yet, you are judgeing people without
facts. You make no sense! don't be so quick to jump on my case, My kits
are not expensive because for one, Im not greedy, and two there is no over
head. So why not,, get volume verses high cost and you can do well for yourself with out breaking the bank for other people. I Have had no problems
with people saving money and getting Exactly what they wanted. These people are no Idiots . You are insulting there Intelegence. Also I stated in my old post if anybody has any questions at all (questions not bashes ) let me know! This is the end of my conversation between you and I.
Whether I have done FI on a 4.0 SOHC or not does not negate the fact that running 15 psi on that stock bottom end, regardless of the strong stock internals, is not smart.
Actually I am roughly 95% done with a prototype turbo kit I plan to offer for another vehicle here soon. I am also an STS Turbo dealer which I usually offer to the Explorer crowd so I am selling those kits in Universal form too. I guess your comment about "why aren't you here making all these turbo kits and selling them" does not really sound like a smart comment now does it?...
The reason you do not rag on my 4.6 liter with 20 psi of boost is because that engine is built to withstand 1,000+ hp. It can take the 20 psi, your stock 4.0 will not hold up well to that 15 psi you plan to throw at it, but good luck. In built form that 4.0 will take 15 psi just fine but not in stock form.
Who said anything of an aftermarket standalone fuel injection system??? I just mentioned proper computer tuning. You do realize that the Ford custom tuning offered through SCT does this stuff right? Nothing like Megasquirt, FAST, or BS3 needed for what I am talking about.
What accusations did I make? I just stated my observations about your vehicle. I also made it clear that just because a person owns a certain car does not translate into knowledge or understanding. Good luck coming up with an example of an "accusation" I made towards you.
Sorry, but $1,000 will not get you much of a real turbo kit. $1,000 is barely enough to buy a good turbo, let alone all the other parts necessary. Get a used JY turbo and you take many chances on the quality; though they can be fouund. Buy an Ebay turbo and take a huge chance on quality too. I would take that chance with my personal vehicles, but NOT WITH MY CUSTOMERS. Sorry but I do not see where $1,000 will be able to get a person a quality kit. Go ahead and post the price and component breakdown. I am curious to see what is included in this "kit" of yours that costs $1,000. What condition will the components be in? New, Used??? The reason I pointed out you pricing and the potential lack of quality of the components in the kit is because I am actually trying to look out for the lesser knowledgeable people on this forum. I have been here for over 5 years and actually give a crap about these people and if they get screwed over by some new guy offering what is likely to be a turbo kit of lacking quality. Allot of these people do not know any better so I make it my job to look out for them and ask the questions they would not know to ask. You are new and right off the bat tried selling these people stuff. I have seen many types do just that same thing that end up being dirtbags. I am not calling you one, but so far your actions do resemble the ones I have ran into on the forums I am a part of.
I merely made a few technical statements in my original post directed towards you. It seems that you could not just talk tech and instead preferred to get all bent out of shape. If you cannot handle a person making a technical observation about your project vehicle then grow a thicker skin. I call it as I see it. 15 psi on stock 4.0 Explorer = boom! $1,000 turbo kit = You get what you pay for. I never called it "junk" like you have repeatedly accused me of. But since we are being honest, I think that it likely will be a hacked together poor version of a kit for $1,000.
When you are ready to have a real technical discussion instead of squabbling then let me know.
