Thanks For All....

Thomas Knight has built some questionable stuff in his carrier. Plus the kit that he's currently selling for the 4.0 is for the SOHC, not the OHV (I beleive). If your looking for a kit for the OHV the only ones left are all going to be used. You might try checking out ebay is probably your best bet.

Here is an email for a guy on Ford Truck World that has a shop and trys to put sellers and buyers together for superchargers.
crash@skidmarkracing.org
He might be able to help you out.
Good luck.

I Sent AEmail For BoostHead ( Thomas Knight ) And They Send To Me There Is Avalible for (OHV) And They Send APic For It

Thanks All...

i dunno if i would buy anything from this dude. i have only heard rather not good stuff about his products. i have had NO personal use of any of his products, so i will not bad mouth him or his products, but just from what i heard, his claims are a little "inflated". like this statement:
Your bone-stock Ford Ranger V6 produces 100 to 135 HP at the wheel, and it's going to take a lot more than 135 horse to move 4,000 pounds of American steel past that balsa-and-plastic ricer.....We at Boosthead.com will help you kick it up a notch. Bolt on one of our Dyno-tested, track-proven Eaton superchargers and your HP will jump 60-100 wheel HP at an incredibly low 5-7 psi boost.
so, the ranger only outs 100-135rwhp???? but this charger that he sells will ADD an additional 100rwhp? thats basically a 100% gain to the ground!!!! i think he can make those claims because then when ppl see they are getting around 240ish to the ground they "think" they gained it. on a SOHC engine i had it dyno'ed at 179.? to the ground on my 3rd run (first 2 runs had mess ups, so the "true" number "may" be higher). the only mods i had at the time were a bama tuner an intake and exhaust (no headers yet). doug says that my true hp numbers are probably more at about 190rwhp. on a side note, isnt thomas knight the guy that builds the adaptor plate for the eaton m60? or is that someone else? what eaton is that on his page? is this the same as the explored express kit? if its the m60, isnt the max psi for it more like 4psi for our engines? sorry for my babble :(

Plus i don't think most rangers way 4,000 lbs. either, most 2wd rangers that is.

In addition I though the rule was 1lb. Boost = 7 Hp.

Gerry's old 94 ext cab 4.0 A4LD 2wd XLT weighed in at just under 3800lbs if I remember correctly.

My N/A dyno numbers with no tunning were 145rwhp and about 210rwtq. My first dyno session after adding just the Vortech was 213rwhp and 272rwtq. That's a gain of basically 70rwhp and a similar torque increase. After that, I added a 3" exhuast, larger TB, e-fan, and a smaller pulley for more boosted and it jumped up to 230rwhp. With a good setup, gaining 100hp from a supercharger isn't out of the question. You just have to make sure everything works in harmony together.

It's not out of the question, I just didn't think you could get 100 hp from 5-7 lb. of boost, but correct me if I am wrong

It all varies by setup. If you had a flowing set of intake/heads, and a good cam setup it might happen. But I wouldn't hold out on it happening. I mean, look at Bird's setup. He was putting down 255ish on 4lbs of boost. Now I think he'd probably put down more than 155 without the boost, but I've got to think he's probably getting 80 or maybe more from that low boost setting.

ditto...i thought it would take more than that....and also, i was under the impression that this was the m60, which eaton is it?

on his page, he is saying these gains on a stock motor, not p&p'ed....but i guess anything CAN be done :nixweiss:. i am just saying how i think his numbers of the stock engine are a bit low, to make it look as his charger will add a little more than it does...

That 255rwhp was with only 5 cylinders working and was also on a Mustang dyno. It'll definitely be putting out bigger numbers with all 6 cylinders working. It was showing only 4# boost because of the better flow of the engine package - shows 5-6# on the stock block with the add ons.

As Wed said, it's all in the combo.

Bird

I guess it just depends on the set-up then, every engine responds to things differnetly, and I thought BIRD is running 5lb. of boost on a stock motor with bolt-on's, but don't quote me on that.

EDIT - Well there you go

pm sent splash racing..i might have to sell my supercharger because im not sure if i will have tire clearance issues with it being bagged and all. its all brand new in box with all the parts needed to work on the 4.0 ohv. lmk

I agree on a previous post. A buddy of mine got a supercharger for his 4.0 OHV off of ebay for a very nice price and the power was awesome. Defintely not as much as the SOHC would produce with a EE though

Well the SOHC heads do flow a lot better in stock form than the stock OHV heads, so it would be easier to do. I would have to agree, that it's probably not likely, but I wouldn't ever say it's impossible. No matter what, I wouldn't buy a boat anchor from the guy. I'm sure he'd find a way to screw, even that, up.

Thanks For All , Is There More Sugg. & Infor.

Yeah, run screaming from TKT, do a search on it using the 3.0 board as the forum to look through, you'll see.

Later Doug.

yeah, thats another thing i did NOT take into consideration is that on his website it just says "V6".....does not indicate 3.0 or 4.0....so, those 100-135rwhp maybe more accurate than i thought. either way, i would not trust the man....anyone that is trying to sell you a supercharger and makes statements like:
balsa-and-plastic ricer and bash on their style, but also sells products for honda's, kia's, geo's, ect....and the fact that most of his products are electric superchargers, and he compairs them to nitrous :rolleyes:
