hi, im new to the forum. i have had my jimmy for about 3 days now (traded my 94 honda accord for it.) and have a couple questions pertaining to my "build"

any help would be greatly apreciated.

1. I am used to japenese cars and the way they work. and how to mod the fuel supply and ecu to compensate for boost and engine upgrades. My question is, is there a tuneable ecu out there for these with out going stand alone like megasquirt or haltech?

2. i pretty much have decided to go for forced induction for the 4.3 over the v8 swap. would you recommend either a turbo system or procharger?

3. rear end options... mainly looking for any posi options there are out there. dont want a one wheel wonder.

it is a 2wd auto and i do plan on racing it at the local 1/8th mile track next summer. also ive been reading about stock 1/8th mile times and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it. getting mixed answers im guessing it should be around a 10sec 1/8th just based on my CAI honda pulled 10.5s also this truck is dumped to the ground.

 

Google Wynjammer...

 

thank you, well that helped on one thing.... but not the others

 

love it, i wanna do this with my k5.

 

Now thats the way a blazer is suppose to look. How much has it been lowered?

 

1: no sure...
2: turbo, more performance options. v8:cheaper, more power, more work though
3: ford 8.8 from an explorer. wagoneer D44, scout d44

 

thanks guys. sorry its taken so long been pretty busy. anyways.

its a 3.5 inch drop all around

and...does the explorer rear end just bolt up and would effect the height the truck?

also a new problem has come up. it only happens when there is two people in the truck but if a take a left turn and kinda get on it there is like a metallic noise coming from the rear end. not sure if wheel bearing or what....

any info would help

once again thank you for your responses

 

 

I have an 01 explorer 8.8 in mine and you will need a new pinion flange to bolt the driveshaft up.
Weiland(sp?) supercharger is the way I want to go. Straight up bolt on. bout $2200
Your noise is probably a worn axle shaft bearing or worn axle shaft creating noise IN the bearing. Just fixed both problems on a customers blazer. Get it before It gets any worse and you wont need a shaft. $$$
