BBK TB
Mass Air sensor(MAS)
Headers
Flowmaster mufflers
KKM intake
SuperCharger
That's about it for the 1st gen X.
 






new plugs and wires as well as injectors. not going to get much but it will help a little
 






injectors wont be needed unless you are pumping out 250+ hp.

headers will be a waste of money unless you have opened up the heads/lower intake

throttle body is the biggest bang for the buck

a cone filter (KKM) will defniatly help the sound

a bigger MAF may help, but probably wont be much of a noticeable gain

You best bet is to get the 410 comp cam ($250 from summitracing) with some Deltacam rocker arms ($200 www.deltacam.com) and some 5.525" pushrods from deltacams or smithbros

The cam, plus the throtte body, will probably get you in the 175 horsepower range

port your lower intake, you might be in the 180 hp range

port your heads and add in a good set of headers (BBK, BORLA, JBA) you will be in the 190hp range

Up your compression to 10:1 using SOHC pistons with the 91-94 heads; or you can use 95-98 style heads with your 91-94 pistons, and you will find yourself around 200-210 hp

use the 422 cam, and those numbers will look like 210-220. Although, that will require dual valve springs

Add in a nitrous kit, and plan on 300hp
 






wow thanx alot guys i really need to start savin now
 






Or just save the 3 or 4 grand all that will cost and apply it as a down payment on a newer Explorer?

ok this is an old thread ,but im planing on boosting my navajo , so far i have about 40% of the part's needed for the build , i will be doing all of the work myself , other than the custom exhaust pipe's , my coworker is a former machineist and he said he will fab up whatever i need done , im looking at a t3/t4.50 Trim Turbo , i have a BOV ,wastegate , intercooler, and a few other part's , im still looking for a Wideband A/F guage , and also A EGT guage , but other than that i have most of the part's already , im going to fully port & polsih the upper& lower intake , along with the Head's , and im going with 42# injectors ,im also looking for a 70mm TB so if anyone has the part's i want , either reply here , or send me and e-mail @ ,Blazenbruce@yahooDot Com , thank you for looking and wish me luck !!!

thanx, im not building it to keep up with mustang's or anything , i just want to see the face's on all of the srt4 boy's when they hear a turbo spool up and a bov dump on a 4x4 lol , the main reason is ive never seen one in person , ive seen them done on here but not on a navajo , that look's like an explorer , the hardest part is getting it tuned , which at first im only gonna be running like 4 psi of boost , so i wont have do deal with tuning for a lil while , but it will be completely done , and done right , im good with motor's and such , ive just never built a turbo'd vehicle brfore , i did own a 86 svo stang with a turbo 4 cyl , and i shouldve kept it , but i sold it like an idiot , thanx for looking wish me luck guy's and gal's !!
 






well the tables have turned against me , someone broke in my nastho - nickname for my rig , and stole all of my turbo part's , my brand new clear corrner's , my clear taillights , and a brand new Sunpro 5" monster tach , so it look's like im not turboing it any time soon
 






Dam that sucks, sorry to hear that.
 






:thumbsdown:

Sucks man. Someone stole my subs last week. Why they targeting us all of a sudden?
 






well the guy's that stole my crap pawned it , so i found it found out who pawned it and there in jail !!!! woo hoo got my stuff back ,im glad i had recipts !!
 






Freakin sweet man.
 






post in this thread once you start a project thread so I can suscribe to it :thumbsup:
 






4.10 gears.
 






im leaving the gearing stock , im actually planing on only about 4-6 pound's of boost , just enough to make some more power with the stock internal's , ive already started to port the upper and lower intake , next is the head's , i found a set of bbk header's real cheap , there very used but the will be better than stock , when i get a lil bit more done i will put up a build page and keep it updated with pic's , vid's and what not , thanx for the tip's guy's keep em coming !!
 






so far i have just about everything i need for the project of the turbo build !! , im gonna start it here within the next few weeks !! will have pic's when i get started !!
