    Thinking of change!

    I still think it looks bad ass as is!! I really wish all of us supercharged expys lived closer. It would be awesome to have a get together and check out the different combinations and setups. Have a cruise, etc...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Drove it to the gym and back. It almost got up to temp.

    Superchargers

    5.4 PI motors from the heads down are essentially the same with the following exceptions. All lightnings came with forged crankshafts. Expy's came with cast cranks but I understand at some point they installed forged cranks they had on hand so could not tell you which may or may not have...

    Lightining Motor

    Depends on how much power you plan on making and the condition of your existing tranny. You have the 4R100 and it is fairly stout. But if you decide to start increasing the boost you may consider beefing it up. The additional torque will test its limits regardless.

    Lightining Motor

    If you are looking for a complete lightning motor from the supercharger down, they are not easily found. You will have to search ebay, lightning forums, etc... and hope you can locate one from a lightning that has been in an accident and parting it out.

    Superchargers

    Please provide a link to the item you are describing because I believe you are incorrect. Yes they sell adapter plates but nothing for the application in question. I have seen 4.6 intake to 5.4 adapter plates but not the other way around. I could not find one to mount a lightning supercharger...

    Good Morning

    :welcome: You may just want to reset the pcm to see if it reappears. Otherwise I believe you have to complete a "drive cycle" which entails many various conditions of operation before the evap code will reset.

    If you research you will find that E85 gets about 20-30% less mpg and the cost difference is typically slightly less so it is really a wash as far as saving $$. E85 makes sense for those running boost because of the much higher octane it offers. (Basically cheap race gas) but for N.A. vehicles...

    Superchargers

    The lightning supercharger will not work with the 4.6. The intake/valley is much wider on the 5.4 vs 4.6 so it will not physically fit. This question has been asked many times here and the only supercharger assembly I have seen currently listed online specifically for 1st gen 4.6 expeditions...

    Thinking of change!

    I kinda like the looks of your expy as is! Like you said it is unique. I have seen no others like it. I would swap your blower for a novi 2000 or something that you could really crank up the boost!! :evillol: Of course you may want to throw some better rods in her first.

    Crate Motor Options for '03 Expy??

    You can check out some of the modular motors / long blocks here but they are not exactly for those on a tight budget. Engines | Sean Hyland Motorsports

    Replacing Catalytic Converter

    http://www.jegs.com/i/Flowmaster/389/2020014/10002/-1 http://www.amazon.com/Flowmaster-2020014-Outlet-Catalytic-Converter/dp/B00BQ9UWMA I would recommend having it welded in to guarantee its leak free.

    Maybe with a N.A. V6 but the turbo makes significantly more torque down low than a N.A. V8. That's kind of the point... The ecoboost actually needs less rpms to make the same power!! The ecoboost is only pulling those kind of rpms because it is towing 10,000 lbs not to mention the weight of the...

    First things that come to my mind would be vacuum leak or IAC valve.

    erroneous oil dip stick readings

    Sorry was not trying to offend you. It is just odd. Never heard of this issue before. I can see why you would be baffled.. Please do post the solution if you do figure it out because it has me very curious.

    Expy/Lightning Videos

    It was a fall ford event test and tune. It was the luck of the draw who was in the other lane. Odds are it would be a fox body....lol. For some reason there were no other expeditions?!:shrug: I beat the 1st car to the finish line but he passed me afterwards. Of course the camera was mounted on...

    Expy/Lightning Videos

    Thought I posted these elsewhere but will group them here anyways... Some go pro videos from racing this past fall in HD. This first pass it spun badly as the a4wd did not kick in ?? Not easily seen or heard but I could certainly feel it. 2.0 60' spinning.. still managed a 12.88 @ 105.85...
