Does anyone have any info of a 4.0sohc with a sts turbo kit? I might be sellin the car so the truck will become the fun ride again lol..and now after driving a rx7 my standards for speed and handling have upped. But i mainly curious how a 4.0sohc would do with a turbo and e85 fuel..

 

I would at the VERY LEAST replace the head bolts with ARP studs. You could do that w/o removing them or the chains too.

Keep the boost under 8-9 psi if cooled.. or under 6psi if not cooled.
Also keep the rpms under 5700 with a stock bottom end.


Rich

 

whats wrong with the stock bottom end? id want to hit 6k rpms atleast....itll be drifting and autox on the weekends so itll be hitting rev limiter alot..

 

I wouldn't try to make power with this engine. Everything turbo will have to be custom and after all the money and time spent on it you won't be making much power. If you have a money tree then by all means start with a new block, balanced crank, forged pistons, blah blah.

Mess with the FD for power. I miss mine.

 

i have also seen some cool builds with this kit non on here but on rps and i thing ranger station. also for my info what sucks so bad about this engine there are skylines, 300zx ,silvias, supras and many more all makeing HUGE numbers with V6 . i know this is a very diffrent engine but what isnt up too par that those have? Something seems off when there running twin turbos or big single turbos. on even I4 engiens.

 

ummmmmmmmm quality of engine internals....

 

yeah the 4.0 SOHC definitely isnt build for boost

 

LOL, what a noob.

The "skyline" you refer to has an I6, silvias have I4's and supras have I6s. So your 75% wrong.

I'm making "HUGE" (to quote you) numbers on an I4, just depends how you do it, and if you want it to be reliable.

I've said it before, the output of an engine is determined by 2 things:

1) How well the engine is built.
2) How much fuel you can delivery to the engine.

 

I agree, also all those imports have a stronger bottom end, unfortunately ford is in the habit of skimping on the cost of parts and thus skimping on the quality. And another thing is all those import companies have literally over 20 years of experience with high reving racing engines, that they convert the research into production vehicles.

Another thing is that the way the engines are built, the internals of the 4.0 are built more for a towing style application and the import engines are built more for a high reving speed application. vast difference on internals.

IMO it would cost way to much money in engine modifications and suspension modification to build a ranger that can run decently and consistently on an autoX track.

 

thanks for your imput but im not such a noob too those engines as i am for ford ones
rebilt a full sr20det
swaped sevreal ca18det into 240sx
havent got too work on any RB,s yet
and well a jzette i have only got too play with one for a few hours
so i know what these engiens are made of i know how they work u do not have too flame me about import engiens when i am asking about a ****ing ford engien.

 

sorry for sounding like a dick here but please use spell check.

 

I was about to say the same thing.

If you know so much about import engines shouldn't you know what engine comes in what car?

 

the V6 i was talking about is in the 300 zx i didnt feel the need doo post each engine type. If it matters that much then i will next time.

I did mention the I4 but when I post its normaly at abnormal times and barley makes sence anyways.

 

so you should be able to tell me which would be a better engine for my evo, the gallo-12, or the gallo-24?

 

pizza places dont make engines

 

Someone knows who to use google lol

 

guilty
but i did remmber that it was from 2 fast 2 furious but i couldent remmber the answer.

 

I chose the 24...

 

Haha I didn't know what it was either, google did though

 

to bad the line is wrong its for this skyline



i love that part of the movie

 

lol thats awesome man

 

more pics please

 

Haha. Damn ya'll are hard on him aint ya? lol

 

of what in particular?

 

the whole car, id buy an evo if they weren't so stupidly overpriced in canada
