[Tys 4x4 FTW]

depending on price, i'm very interested lol

PM me

and may i ask why you are getting a new one?

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

another thing, will i be seeing any kr on stock exhaust manifolds.

i plan on headers eventually.
the manifolds are cast, which usually means imperfections from the factory. would it help any if i took them off and ported them a bit?

i did that on my grand prix before i ran headers, and saw a bit of an improvement just because the casts were so inconsistent from the factory

[whippersnapper02]

I'm sure cleaning them up some will help.

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

yeah i'd imagine so

man i wish i could get this done already

i keep watching vids of supercharged rangers lol

[Fx4wannabe01]

I looooooooooove this one. I sit in my truck making whining sounds while shifting gears while playing the intro to 'What I've Done'....YES, I still make car sounds.

[Fx4wannabe01]

mkay..watched it again. And I literally giggled like a little school girl drooling over the Jonas Brothers.

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

Man watching that gives me the chills. But the good chills if you know what I mean. Kind of like the first time I saw transformers

It only gets worse. I used to listen to S/Ced 4.0s all the time and now I listen to 5.4s S/Ced and that whine is something I would love, love to have. Tranny on the other hand won't be too happy.

[whippersnapper02]

I just want a V8. The supercharger can come later.

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

I thought about saving up for a v8 swap. Woulda done something nobodys done lol
but my truck is still under warranty. Don't wanna get too ahead of myself haha

[whippersnapper02]

Nah. If I get a V8 I'm getting a V8 car not doing the swap. SRT8 Magnum anyone?

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

Hell yes! A guy in my old neighborhood has a badass one. It's red. Slammed. And the stock wheels are like a dark charcoal color. Wow. Just wow.

[whippersnapper02]

Well when I pay off my quad this month and save some money I may be picking one up. I love the wagon look and the 6.1 V8. It gets about 20-22MPG highway according to the forum members so that is better than my truck.

this vid makes me hard too

poor camera man almost gets run over though haha

[WowMike2001]

Honestly - on a personal side.. I wouldnt even bother SC'ing this engine - your far better off pushing for 300 HP with straight engine.. a.k.a - V8 Swap - You coudl do it for far cheaper, hell.. for 4500 bucks you could run a built Explorer 5.0 in your truck and it woudl push way more power then a wimpy SC'ed 4.0

[Tys 4x4 FTW]

thats true, but thats a lot of fab work i dont wanna do. i can install the supercharger in a day or weekend. but the motor will take far longer. and thats longer then i can afford to have the truck down. i could drive the grand prix. but i need to get it smogged and renew the registration. money that would take away from whatever i end up doing. maybe a v8 someday. but for a truck, the supercharger will make me more then happy

[WowMike2001]

Im more afraid of your undercarriage stuff under there.. I've seen the pics of the twisted rods from prior rangers doing this - and your running a lifted truck... oof I dunno, woudl half freak me out down the road when parts start getting worn and somethign blows up - honestly - I think a part will blow up, its just a matter of time whether its 10,000 miles or 50,000 miles :-(


But, if you do end up getting this done.. then kickass.. As much as I woudl grit my teeth if it was my own truck - I still have a big ol soft spot for a supercharged ranger :-D

[Woods-Rider]

same can be said for any internal combustion engine

Tyler, what do you think it will cost you to SC your truck? I assume you are buying parts separately instead of a kit to save some $$
