okay, so i'm getting this X-charger from either supernaturalperformance.com or steeda. now, what else am i going to need (i.e. fuel pump, cam, etc) and what all should i be cognizant of when doing this blower install.

[El_Cangri]

I'm lost are you going to buy the complete kit that brings all the parts or just the charger alone?

cognizant? what does that mean?

you will need a tune oh and i just saw ur a 07' i think you could run 5-8 psi w.o a problem you would just need to buy a tuner. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

my brain needs refreshing lol last time I was here was like a month ago and i log in just for 1 minutes haha

yea that is a very discombobulating term.

[El_Cangri]

ooh thanks and i love ur avie lol

/im ending offtopic

[101fng]

yeah, i'm getting the complete package. it comes with a bamachips tune, so thats not a prob. i'm also looking at a complete 8.8 rearend assembly (i plan on pushing the 4.0 well beyond 300hp). but, i heard someone mention they were blowing their stang and some other dude said something about a fuel pump and injectors and i was like ??? pretty much, what else am i going to need to take full advantage of the blower?

[gooberhead320]

i just got a vortech and i know for the 99-04 youll need either an SVT Focus Fuel pump or GT40 fuel pump... and yes you will need injectors. again with the 99-04 i have 39# injectors.

a mod needs to move this to the 05+ 4.0L section and you will get all your questions answered

[101fng]

dude, nobody looks at the 4.0 section. its a supercharger, it works off the same principle as any other supercharger. there's like 3 people at max on the 4.0 section at anyone time, and very few of the few 05-08 owners that view that section have s/c's. i figure you guys are probably more knowledgable on the subject of s/c's.

[El_Cangri]

u will need 39lbs injectors for a 350-400+ hp range. A bigger maf to match the injectors im thinking like the lightning MAf which is like 90mm? some1 correct me if im wrong. And i dont know which fuel pumps are out there for your model. I think you will need like something above 255lph or am i overkilling it? im talking for a 350-400++ h.p

a 255lph is supposed to hold like 400 h.p tho*

[El_Cangri]

yeah i tho on the Gt pump or the Focus but idk if it will fit him i doubt it

alright i was just saying man you dont need to get all defensive. they might not have a s/c but they might be able to help you a little better than we can cause we have older models. i can tell you what you need for a 99-04 but not 05+. do you get what im saying?

and 255 is good for 400hp to the wheels, not the crank. and can you use the 90MM on the new stangs? cause thats what i have as well haha

[El_Cangri]

well of what i know a maf is like a general part just like injectors unless you need a adapter to make it work. IDK lol just ask sct for their mafs and call it done i know a 90mm will work
and if im wrong come down here to P.R and slap me with a 2 week old dead fish lol

[gooberhead320]

90MM will work. its what i have sitting in my garage

[itschristorres8]

a lot of parts are not interchangable with the 4.0s

id look at VMPtuning for after market MAF sensors as well as a fuel pump and fuel injectors.


for future reference when sites list rated to 400hp-500hp unless it says rwhp or whp then that part is good to w/e is listed 400-500hp at the crank

such as transmission are usually 90%+ rated at flywheel/crank hp

same with fuel pumps usually. they base it off what the engine takes and puts out

rwhp is a touchy thing. an auto, with big rims, stock driveshaft is going to be much different then a manual drive car with aluminum flywheel, driveshaft and smaller wheels.

but both cars might make the same crank power if anything an auto might make more because a flywheel is heavier then a flexplate

so hearing a part is rated to a certain whp doesnt mean much unless you have a very similar driveline.

its just an estimate.

alright, i'm writing all this shit down. thanks for all the help. what about cams and heads and shit?

Why not get your XCharger directly from ExplorerExpress.com?. They MAKE the kit. It comes complete with everything you need, including injectors, CAI, tune & SCT tuner. You don't need anything else. Excellent instructions. Excellent tech support. Excellent service.

I got mine installed. It took about 10 or 11 hours. You can have a look at the instuction manual on their website if you want to see what to expect during the installation.

I'm going back to Iraq this Fall, so I feel ya.

The X-charger is great for our engines and won't put too much of a strain on our blocks, but I'm not sure if you'll see 400hp from this mod and a good tune. You may need a few other bolt ons to get closer to that goal. At least you'll be able to beat some GT's tho.
