My 2001 Exploder- Can Haz PSSSSH???

[OMGz Turbo]

Well i started a thread in general car, But this is gonna be a compilation of all those posts put a few parts for my pics.

SUV= 2001 Ford Explorer AWD
Motor- 5.0L V8 w/ GT40P Heads
Trans- 4R70W

My objective is going to create a low budget semi-high performance SUV that is able to compete with SUV's like the Trailblazer SS, SRT-8 Jeep, ETC ETC. It will also be able to handle its balls off and hopefully Autocross when all is said and done.

Wheels-
Powdercoated 18x9 Replica Cobra R's
Unsure of what tires probably KDW2's

Suspension-
Lowering Kit 2" Drop
Edelbrock Shocks
Explorer Express Sway Bars

Rough Part List-
Power Master(good quality, cheap price) Turbo, TO4E .50/.63 57trim or larger- $500+
Wastegate kit- $50-$200
Mocal oil pump - $190
oil feed line(17' -4an nitrous hose)-$50
oil drain line 20' 3/8" tranny cooler line- $30
Function 7 turbo oil adapters- $20
oil line fittings and T-$40
3/8 laser cut steel flanges- $25
Air filter w/ MAF adapter- $30
Aluminum intercooler pipe kit- $100
2" steel mandrel bent intercooler kit-$50
3" steel mandrel bent tailpipe -$15
vented oil cap-$15
2" radiator hose( for charge pipe couplers)- $15
assorted hose clamps-$15
BOV adapter- $25
BOV-$25-$200
AEM Wideband- $280+
Boost gauge- $30-$60
Off road light wiring kit w/ relay(for oil pump)- $20
intercooler (optional)- $100+

Ill Probably use a STOCK SRT-4 intercooler since i have one laying around, I have a good amount of the parts already and my friend who works as a mechanic has a lift and is a amazing welder is gonna do alot of the fabricating with me. He owns a 600RWHP Camaro SS so all the help i gave him is gonna be paid off.

Now i have already heard people complaining about the transmission, But that will be adressed with this.
""Installation of the Valve Body kit will allow 1997 and earlier AODE/4R70W transmissions to perform reliably in a 350 to 375 horspower application. 1998 and later 4R70Ws can handle up to 500 horsepower with just the addition of the Valve Body kit""

Im in the clear anyway, Theres a local shop that is willing to rebuild my tranny at any given time if i support they're shop. They have built 20 different tranny's for my family and he is more then willing to help me out. He owns a 97 X sport with a 3.8 Turbo coupe swap!

Of course the first "mod" will be taking it to ryan over at shades of gray for a little love.

Turbo'd explorer launching. <<BTW IT still has all 4 cats on it.

Also i will be using a Ford Lightning MAF meter or possibly a marauder MAF being the marauder one is plug n play , And probaly 30-36LBS injectors so i can run between 6-8PSI. Also looking into this.

Yeah I gotta stop by sometime. It's been a while. I am hoping that once statefarm comes out gives me a semi good estimate on the damage I got (got backed into out front of my house). Trying to get an SR swap in her soon.

Bad ass man!

[11secdsm]

Very cool man! I had a '96 Explorer limited 5.0 w/ a whipple on it back in the late 90s. Thing was a blast!

[OMGz Turbo]

Very cool man! I had a '96 Explorer limited 5.0 w/ a whipple on it back in the late 90s. Thing was a blast!

I contemplated the whipple setup but turbo is just so much more me. LOL

Any pics of it?

[11secdsm]

I completely agree. Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as today back in '96.

As for pics...I wish. I've lost pics of sooo many cars before the days of digital cameras. Picture a black 96 Ex limited with chrome Momo Arrows, Borla exhaust, and a whipple.

[OMGz Turbo]

[dsturch1]

awesome idea man, let me know how it all works out! looks like you have a pretty sick project ahead of you!

[gotvtec?]

Im suprised u didnt slam it get a ski rack and 0 offset wheels

[OMGz Turbo]

LOL you cant slam the exploder to the ground while leaving the AWD in tact.

[JDMTyler3326]

Would you be able to Bagg it ? Or body drop it?

[OMGz Turbo]

Bagging it will require alot of cutting, welding and fabricating which i dont have time for. And body drop takes alot of work too

[JDMTyler3326]

Yeah I know that . I am just asking . Also would you be able to kept the AWD if you would Bagg it?

[OMGz Turbo]

Yeah I know that . I am just asking . Also would you be able to kept the AWD if you would Bagg it?

Yes but even bagging it would probably consist of airstruts which wont give me that "slammed" look

[OMGz Turbo]

Dont mind the rims because mine will sit alot lower on the 18's compared to these 22's.

[BLKtopSIL80]

[OMGz Turbo]

Woot!!!! Car is in the drive way, and after a mild hiatus in the form of a jail stint the project is gonna start rolling. DEFINITELY MORE SLOWLY THEN EXPECTED!!! Ill take pics tomorrow, the explorer is dirty as hell but it had a valve adjustment done, and new exhaust manifolds put on. Lets just say it pulled on a honda earlier, HAHAHAH
