Hey guys I've got a 2001 ranger 4.0 and was wondering if there was any type of supercharger for sale from my year and engine size thanks.

You can always piece one together, that just requires a bit of fabricating and patience.

i am thinking of going the piece together route.. but for about every positive post i read i read a negitive about using the M90 (i think it is) SC so bottom line.. would the M90 be good for the daily driver? or would i be better off spending the big chunk of money up front for the EE kit?

The EE kit uses a M62 which is a smaller super charger unit than the M90. You'd be much better off, in my opinoin, going with the M90 route.

thats what i am thinking... but i have read that there are some reliebility issues with the M90? are they all true? and i did a quick look on ebay there are a few off of 70 and 80K mile and up cars... should i be leary.. is there a way to rebuild these SC, is there a rebuild kit?

anyone.. i know this is probally like beating a dead horse.. but i need to know this info...

i am looking for long term reliable power..

As far as the reliability, I havnt heard anything negative for the M90, its just that it you make anything rev more its going to cut back on factory reliability.

You can always run the M112. More boost, less heat, more power. Its just going to cost a bit more and some time spent fabricating.

I've got the m90 on my 2002 Ranger xlt, 4.0 Automatic. I now have right at 10,000 miles on it. Everything has been working great so far. I do have the by-pass installed, so get boost on demand. This is my daily driver with about 120 miles per day, both freeway and streets. Not sure what mileage was on the M90 as I purchased it on EBAY.
regards, Ron

I have an M112 on its way :)

thanks for the help

so does this fit our 4.0 rangers? if so how much hp u guys think that would make

The only drop in supercharger kit is the kit by Explorer Express (www.explorerexpress.com). Any other S/Cs will need some fabrication work to set it up. You can purchase an Eaton M90 off an old Supercoup and buy the installation kit off eBay (just search, I was just on there and saw 2 kits), just the intake manifold alone is over $500, but worth it if you dont have the skills or tools to get the job done.

The M112 that Ill be running is going to require a bit of fabricating, but should be worth it when its done.

if I get this kit. what else do I need to buy to get this supercharger going. just the m90? everything else is in that kit? some ppl told me Ineed a new maf, injectors and a few other things. Can someone tell me what all I need plz

hey guys i am a 3.0 owner and know this is a 4.0 forum but was wondering if the base that the supercharger (xplorerexpress kit) sitts on would fit my 3.0 block i have a eato m62(from boss3.0) and would like it to sit in the center on the motor, and like the way it looks. :burnout:

You will only need a 1989 thru 1993 S/C from the Supercoup for the time being. Its never a bad choice to upgrade the fuel system and MAF shortly after.

As for the 3.0, I doubt itll fit. I don tknow what the 3.o inlets look like (size and arrangement), but if its not listed for it, I doubt itll fit. You can always fabricate a manifold, or have one fabricated.

The 3.0 lower intake manifold is completely different than the 4.0 SOHC lower. It's not going to even be close to fitting.

I'm probably going to get a little off topic here for a second but.... I would really like to see someone use a twin-screw blower on these engines. The m90 is a 1.5L just like the Autorotor 1.5L (sold by kenne bell as the KB 1.5L blower). But the twin screw is MUCH more efficient.

1.5L twin screw:
Volumetric efficiency: 92%
Adiabatic efficieny: 67%
Max flow rate: 635cfm

M90 (1.5L):
VE: 75%
AE: 46%
flow: ~480cfm

Same displacement, larger mass of air transfered, cooler intake charge temps (allows for more power, less prone to detonation, easier to tune), no boost drop-off at higher rpm.... all from about the same size blower (KB 1.5L case is 11.9" in length, 5" tall, and 7.5" wide).

The Eaton M112 is a 1.8L blower and moves ~680cfm, but still can't approach the efficiency of the twin screw (mustang forums show the 1.5L will make more power than the M112, despite it being 0.3L smaller). For comparison's sake, the 1.8L twin screw moves 776cfm and also does it much more efficiently. To make things more interesting, there's been a few 03/04 cobras making over 700rwhp with the KB 2.4L at 23psi and the blower isn't topped out yet! One dyno curve of that same engine shows that little 4.6 making almost 700rwtq as low as 2300rpm and holding that torque to a little over 5000rpm. Talk about a brutal torque curve! :eek:

Looks like i have a new project to start on once i find the right truck at the right price (SOHC with a KB 1.5L would be awsome :) ). Anyone know where to find forged pistons and rods for a SOHC? The 1.5L will make over 400rwhp/rwtq on a 99+ Mustang GT 4.6 2V at only 9psi (same graphs show over 350rwtq at only 1900rpm, 400rwtq by 2700, ~420 peaking at around 4K rpm), and it's rated to flow up to 23psi. I have no doubt that the SOHC can easily break 400rwhp/rwtq with this blower if the gaskets and bottom end will hold.

Whew... sorry for the length!!!

damn that sounds good. I wonder if we can have them on our 4.0's

:naughty: http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05v6ati.htm
wil this this fit the ranger by any chance it looks nice.... drool drool

DAMN if that fits I'm up for that kit

I am sure it would. Only thing I see being a problem is reloacating the battery, maybe need to do something with the fan shroud and the piping would need to be done a little different. Not too much really I really want that kit.

who wants to be the one to try it to see if it fits? i want it bad i dont like the way the explorer express supercharer looks on the motor. that one looks sweet i measued my ranger last night it looks like i have around 6 inches from the metal mounting thing to the radiator .my ac compressor thing might be in the way .im gonna go look at a v6 05 mustang later today to see if it looks similar.

I tried calling them http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05v6ati.htm to know for sure it it does fit our trucks or not, but they r closed b/c of the hurricane

i went and looked at the 05 mustang 4.0 it doesnt look like it will fit
the mustang has so much more room right there the ac bracket big metal plate things are the same kinda but the mustang the ac condensor deal is at the bottom instead of on top like the ranger switch the brackets out it might be closer to fitting.... still the radiator is too close maybe with e fan it would be really close to fitting not sure

anybody know of a supercharger that fits 2000 rangers? 4.0 V6

my guess would be that the new stang 6 is put together with modification in mind, and the ranger wouldn't match much. i got a bunch of '05 ford racing 4.0L performance **** from my grandpa when he passed and was going to get a 4.0 reg cab, but since i can't find one... well, i've been looking and none of the parts will fit i'm pretty sure.

so i'd get the m90 or the explorer charger. if i didn't have such bad luck that is.

the ranger and the mustang v6 are pretty identical. same internals, same heads. same Cr

and to the guy modifying the MP112 s/c, your going to have to modify the case of the blower in order to sit it low enough on the motor, but also clear the fuel rails. youll have to cut the mouting flange off and make a new mounting solution that is the problem Brian Mckelvey ran into.

DangerRanger- We've got it all planned out. Ive talked to Brian a bit about it as well. We bought some steel (still have to go back and get some more) and started cutting. After taking a second look, we figured out just how tricky its going ot be to keep the clearance over the rails, while keeping the hood shut. Things should start rolling at an entertaining clip if we can get our hands on a blown SOHC (we know a guy who should be able to hook us up) to mock things up. Anyways, I still need to talk to Brian a bit more, but havnt been able to get ahold of him for quite some time.

yeah, hes always going off the grid for months at a time.. flying all over the world. i like to think hes a spy or something.. doing james bond stuff :)


you got in touch with the right guy, the man knows the 4.0's like nobodies business.. good luck

how does smog play into this? those superchargers probably have carb no.'s for the intended vehicles but what about the ranger? can you get away with putting a m112 into a ranger and still have it pass smog?

Not a M112. You'd personally have to go through the paces of getting it CARB certified. I believe that the Explorer Express kit is CARB certified already though. So if you're looking to go that route it'd be something to look into. You wouldn't even be able to use the Mustang kit, if it fit, because the CARB cert is specific to make model and year.
