some more information about my homegrown supercharger install, if you have any more questions, just leave them in the comments and I'll do another update at some point
Fuggin impressed!!! Kudos to you Sir!! I have a ‘92 2.9 that’s slated to get stroked with a 4.0 crank and 2.8 flat tops, was aiming for a similar hp/tq increase to the wheels. Fingers crossed!!! Cheers

@@holyford86since the culture of car tuning in America is far ahead of others on the planet, I have to look at the solutions to understand whether I’m thinking correctly.
Never was able to, haven't been able to find someone who is interested in burning a chip for me so I've been running it on a stock ecm and watching my afr, it's been keeping up so far and drives fine. Not the smartest thing to do but it is what it is. I've put close to 15k on the setup so far
Never put it on a dyno but with the boost level I have the math says 40 ish hp and 80 ish ft-lb. I feel that this may be a slightly optimistic pair of numbers. It's proven to be a very useful power increase, the torque increase is down low in the rpm range which was the goal.
@@coalburner22 yes the programs exist but they are something that myself and the person who has helped me with the project have decided not to share, sorry.
@@holyford86 that is fair, I work at an aircraft CNC shop it will be plenty easy to take measurements of the Intake and Eaton m90 that I'll be using with one of our CMM machines and then build a model in MasterCam then export some tooling paths to run on one of our vertical mills after hours. Just figured if you had a program still that I might be able to save myself a few hours by adapting your program to work on a mill instead of starting from scratch.
@@joshuahurley16 the connector on the tank is the same, I've converted mine to a single in tank pump and deleted the frame mounted pump and filter/reserve canister unit

I'd do your homework on whether the 2.9 block will fit the crank, the 4.0 was widened to fit it in there
I wish we had more self thinkers an problem solvers. Great job on the work. I have is300 coilovers on my 89 ranger static build.
Every once in a while I think of something decent, haha. Thank you for the kind words
Could you please provide a photo of the intake manifold? greetings!!

Thank you...
I have a 91 that I would like to supercharge
Can I supercharge my 2003 ford ranger 2.3L???
Unless you find a 2.3 supercharger
Hey where did you find taht super charger
Pulled it off of a Buick in the junkyard
do a follow up 1 year later. still runs. your thoughts?
I can do a 2 year update once I take it out of winter storage in a month or so, that's not a bad idea.
How did you build the bottom manifold to connect the fuel rail to SC?
Are you in California
No
Rad!
E: Update on the airbox?
Currently working on making one for the biggest flat panel filter that I can fit in the area. Edit: I'll make another video once I'm finished
простенько и со вкусом, однозначно палец в верх
спасибо за добрые слова, мне приятно
@@holyford86 I’m just studying what can be done to improve the performance of the Ford 300, and your solution is simple and ingenious in its own way

We're did the supercharger come from
A 95 Buick Riviera
What year and size engine
93 explorer 4.0
Good afternoon, how did you do to make the base?
Used gaskets to cut out plates then adapted it onto a junk mockup engine
How’s it been running with the new tune?

How much of a power increase did you get?

WHAT ENGINE?
4.0 OHV
Where can I get the kit for another like it. ¿?
This was custom built by a friend and I, no kit available.
How was the adapter plate built like sizes of plates
Its 3/8 mild steel plate that was cut into shape using a cnc plasma cutter, program was made using gaskets as a rough base to program from
@@holyford86 do you perhaps still have the program you used on the CNC plasma cutter?
@@coalburner22 yes the programs exist but they are something that myself and the person who has helped me with the project have decided not to share, sorry.

@@coalburner22 I get where you're coming from, but being in the world we live in I just prefer to be overly cautious
Mind driving it for us?
I will eventually, it hasn't been tuned yet, but once it is I will.
I need your help. I have an 88 that is supposed to be 4.0 swapped and i would like to talk with u on wiring in more depth than your video
I may be able to help you out, what platform would you prefer we talk on?
@@holyford86 is the plug for the fuel pump the same on the 4.0 and,the 2.9 or can i replace one with the other?
@@joshuahurley16 the connector on the tank is the same, I've converted mine to a single in tank pump and deleted the frame mounted pump and filter/reserve canister unit
@@holyford86 so i can remove the 2.9 fuel pump and replace it with a 4.0 fuel pump? And its just plug and play
@@joshuahurley16 sending units for the steel tanks are different, you'll need to modify the sending unit to fit the pump, it's not really difficult
Is there anything else done to the motor or is it all stock?
I did the same thing with my 2.9. I've got 3 videos about it if you care to see it. My channel is super2.9.
This is a 4.0, I'll have to check you out
How did you find and adapter so that the charger mounts to the manifold nicely?
We made it
