Forum: 4.0 Forced Induction

Well, goin back to the dyno to get it tuned tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well and there wont be any issues. I`m gonna take a guess on what she`ll put down... realistic guess. Feel free to throw your own predictions out there and we`ll see who gets closest. Here`s my predictions... Based off my...

Ok so last summer I decided while on leave that I was going to really take my ranger to the next level. I wasn't happy with the brakes, the size of my turbo, even the inner workings of my engine. A full SOHC swap with the T-5 behind it was planned out and a full upgrade of the brakes to the most...

So I installed the rpcaster supercharger kit on my 4.0L sohc a few weeks ago. Drove it lightly until I got a good tune for my sct tuner... Just before I went to meet the guy to tune the truck, I started to get a bad misfire and check engine light came up with cylinder #5 misfire.... So I was pretty...

If I can get some things in order, I'm hoping to get an rpcaster kit on this August. The only thing that I am concerned about is how my transmission will hold up. It seems, at times, that the 5r has trouble handling the power of the stock motor. I shudder to think what an extra 50+hp would do...

before...

just go the super charger and all that does any one know if the intercooler will work if so how

Has anyone done any testing on water/e85 injection? Wondering because I am getting ready to put my blower on my truck and was going to run water/meth injection but was thinking about maybe trying e85 since it is getting very common at the pump.

well ive spent a good part of the day and this is what i have so far what yall think

Allright, I know this has been debated before (I searched ;)) but, I might have a smokin deal on a mp90 from a mustang x charger kit and it wont take much to make it work on my existing kit. In doing some research, I came across some questionable facts that I`d like some opinions on. First I went...

what do yall think about turboing a 4.0 ohv. i found a really good deal on a new garret t6 turbo. and a local shop can make all the manifolds and intercooler pipes. but my main ? is how would it spool because redline is 5200 rpms. and who can tune it for me. i will not drive it untuned...

There's a few changes that still have to be made. and to answer every ones questions. YES IT DOES FIT UNDER THE HOOD:wiggle: I dont have pics of the intercooler, and it's not hooked up yet. Just have to install the water lines & pump.

I'm getting things lined up to install the supercharger on the truck and decided to take it to DynoSpeed Racing in Memphis to get a New Drive Seal put in it and to look it over and let me know what the condition of it is. They work on all kinds of supercharged fords and chassis dyno tune then...

I have been building a hotside kit for the 4.0 ohv. It will allow you to bolt a T3 turbo to the ohv. I will be economical using the stock cast iron manifolds. I will be constructed using mild steel and mig welds. The prototype will be done in a matter of weeks. I'll post progress as I make it.

since ppl in the "wheel" section r not very helpful I'm gonna post this here http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251096 I want light wheels for the truck, but not sure of the offset/backspacing I have to get for a wide wheel 15x10

Anyone know how well my engine will support a blower with 93,000?

Hi Gang, Just thought I'd pop in and say "Happy New Year" to everyone. The new "Ranger Max" (aka: Super Duty) is awesome! I bought a new SCT Livewire from River City Diesel in Peoria, IL and it's un-f'n-believeable! I think back to how much we busted our butts on the 4.0 to make big horsepower...

I have a 94 4.0 bkk sc and I need to turn my timing back does anyone know the best (Ignition Control Box) to put on my truck. the box that came with the sc don't work anymore. and from reading some older post its far to much work to tune a 94 computer. so it looks like if just stuck lookin for a...

I am looking at buying a supercharger from a 1989 Tbird with a 3.8. I was wondering if it would bolt up to my 4.0 ohv. From what I hear it should be a direct bolt up, but I would like to know for sure first. From what I can tell it comes with just the supercharger itself. Would I need to change the...

Hi, I have a Vortech Ohv 4.0, I also have a Flex-a-lite fan for it that has not been installed yet, any idea what belt lenght I need for the serpentine when it goes on? Thanks

My truck has been running really funny recently. start the truck wideband reads 10 - 12afr sometimes 13-14 sometimes 14-15 which is normal sometimes when driving it hesitates part throttle, the AFR jumps up to a wooping 30+ (I threw it in neutral and shut it off quickly without stopping the...

Has anyone played with putting on an STS setup on a Ranger? Just curious because they seem to have a great product.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that I just put up two Vortech kits for the OHV and a set of forged pistons and rods in the For sale section. Thanks, Doug.
