    Lightning Supercharger Swap in an '04 Expy write-up

    This is the number on mine: 1L3V-10153-AA You know you need to get adapter plate for the M122 correct? It has significantly more potential than the M112 but your Kenne bell should still perform better. Mike actually passed away this past year. :( So his business is no more.

    k&n or paper filter?

    I have never seen any mpg difference with various filters period. Hell... porting heads, intake, installing long tubes, etc... hardly netted any gains in mpg I hear claimed with an air filter. I would not expect removing the snorkle to improve mpg... nor hurt it. Just does not add up when...

    k&n or paper filter?

    That's for the complete kit included removing the smallish snorkle to the fender (gotts mod) with unknown miles on the paper filter... I would like to see a comparison to gotts mod and stock filter setup. I feel the stock snorkle is your greatest bottle neck. You got to realize the dyno test...

    Expy/lightning opinions wanted!

    Forgot to mention the custom dual 3" exhaust on it as well. Likely to hurt the power with the stock motor...

    Expy/lightning opinions wanted!

    I am kind of at a cross roads. I need to pull my motor as I have a 'ticking/knocking' noise that needs to be identified / repaired before it has potential catastrophic failure which could raise the expense considerable depending on the source of course. The body of my expy is quite heavily...

    Expy/lightning issues - Round 2

    I have begun the enormous task of cleaning my garage!! It's a disaster :eek: Need to do so if I plan to pull my motor. Right now no room to work on it if pulled. :(

    The 2 front O2 sensors are used by the pcm to tune the motor and are vital to its operation. The rear O2's are there only to monitor for the catalytic converters efficiency. Most do not have issues with only the two rear cats removed but with all 4 it should set off a cel if everything is...

    Expy/lightning issues - Round 2

    Actually looks very good with no signs of heat, scratches, wear marks, etc... Nothing abnormal. Looks just as it did when it was put together.

    Expy/lightning issues - Round 2

    Had some time today so I pulled the drivers side valve cover. No easy task on this!! Found about what I expected. That's is nothing due to the intermittent nature of it and it only doing it while hot. No signs of broken springs, bad followers or lash adjusters. Debating where to go from...

    Think many here have done rear cats delete with not issues or CEL's. Can't really speak for performance differences as have not done myself.

    :welcome: My username originates from an 89 LX I owned and raced for many years. Finally sold it this past year.:eek: Had too many projects going on and it was the least practical.. :( Still believe the fox bodys are the best bang for the buck as far as modified vehicles go with unlimited...

    These things have a lot if black plastic

    It looks like the Meguires works pretty well. I just got some 303 Products 30350 Aerospace Protectant recently and I really like the way it works. It may be used on the interior, rubber, etc... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XBCURW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was...

    If the Expedition had the following engine options, which would you choose?

    Being 5 years old this poll needs re-done. HP and torque numbers are now inaccurate and available motors have since changed. Ecoboost puts out significantly more power than shown and is 3.5L. No 5.0 coyote on the list. And what about the shelby 5.7 supercharged engine?? :))

    Official: Ford retuning EcoBoost

    My thoughts after purchasing and driving my Taurus Sho for around 6 weeks now I can tell you I am a fan of the 3.5 ecoboost. I have always been a fan of V8's because I am a drag racer at heart and love to have plenty of reserve power under the foot but I can tell you, you give up nothing with...

    2.1 kenne bell question

    I would think launching it in 4wd would actually help take some load off the rear but of course launching against the stall does not. If the lift kit adds to the cv joint angle that does not help. Use of 4wd can obviously stress the transfer case and front drivetrain components vs 2wd. I...

    2.1 kenne bell question

    Had an S trim aftercooled setup on my stang (sold) running 12 psi boost. Never dynoed it with the blower but ran 10.42 @ 129 mph with just under 3600 lbs race weight. PD blower is a different animal though. Instant throttle response and mega torque!! Perfect for heavy suv.

    2.1 kenne bell question

    There will be more drive train losses with the expy on a chassis dyno but still think it is plenty capable of 400 plus. IAT's can get fairly high without intercooler so that may hold it back. Your only real option is chemical intercooler since the blower bolts atop the intake. Could do...
