Default Turbocharged 5.0 Explorer AWD

Year: 2000
Make: Ford
Model: Explorer
Price: $3500
Mileage: 103000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): MS
Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD
LS Engine?: Car has other engine

I had been holding onto this with plans of changing the turbo system to a front mount from the rear mount. It has a basic rear mount HX35 with rear mount intercooler. I have simply lost interest in the project from not having a place to work on it.

It has the following:
39lb injectors
80mm LMAF
SCT X3 with turbo tunes from Henson Performance
AEM wideband (and custom console gauge pod with boost gauge)
Holset Hx35
STS oil pump
Double din stereo
8" stealth sub
custom mounted XM radio
HIDs

MUCH MORE

The truck was last driven out of my neighborhood on 10-11-2008; I only quit driving it because of a loud exhaust manifold leak, just didnt have time to fix it. And then I left it like it was because of the front mount turbo plans. It is still driveable and runs great, just has the exhaust leak. I have new stainless headers and gaskets to fix this.EDIT: Truck is in the shop having the headers installed. It will also need a few rubber couplers fixed (starting to crack).

This is a really nice truck that would need maybe a weekends worth of work to fix. I am looking to trade it for something like a stockish early LS1 car or Mustang Gt. I am open to other trades also.





Here are two videos first-

And some pictures (wheels no longer on it)









This is with a different turbo, but it shows how the wastegate is plumbed for easy access..

The truck is currently in the shop having the FMS headers installed, so the exhaust leak should be fixed soon.

The shop called me today, and they broke two bolts off while trying to install the headers. So feel free to make me an offer, or it will be getting parted out soon. I just cant sink any more money into this truck.

Hey Justin. Selling the Xploder huh? That's too bad, I never got to see it in person. It was probably pretty fun.

Yeah, I am letting it go cheap. I have lost interest in it and I am wanting to build a bagged c10. It was fun for sure- and could be for someone else. With the lack of interest, it will likely get parted though.

At the current boost levels, it should run mid 13's in the 1/4.
