  1. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Lol, you might be right! Kind of sucks that our turbo is bolted directly to the side of the block though, makes choosing a turbo a pain. With no turbo manifold, we'll have to get creative with how we set up a different turbo. If I didn't use my truck as my daily driver, I'd be tempted to take it...
  2. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    I would love to be somewhere around 400hp and 450tq but that's probably lofty on 93 octane. I talked with Torrie about what he thinks would be the next best move forward and he suggested mater/methanol injection. I was leaning more towards E85 but after seeing the price of the fuel pump alone at...

    That's a huge difference with just a tune! I'd love to get mine on a Dyno and see real numbers on it.
  4. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    I think if I used wheel spacers, along with the right offset, I could fit a 12" tire in the back. Considering that the factory tire is already 10" I believe, I don't see it being an issue. My wife made a good point though, she said I should have a set of drag wheels and tires and a street set...

    Current 1/4 mile record for my truck as it sits with my mods. Stay tuned for more updates as I plan on dumping a lot of time (and money) into my truck, my ultimate goal is to be in the 11's with a fully caged interior, race seats, built motor, e85 fuel, the whole 9 yards! And get this, my wife...
  6. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Just thought I'd drop an update as I wrapped my downpipe today. Had a hell of a time getting it out and ended up stripping the threads on two of the studs but nothing that making new studs, a 10mm tap and a shit load of curse words can't fix right? ? At any rate, it's all wrapped up tight and...
  7. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    That's the crappy part, I love the pitch too, when I get on the throttle, there's a raspy note that I want to get rid of. I'm just filming using my phone, a Google Pixel 3xl all windows up
  8. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    It really does sound great, it's a little intense though, I think I might move the current resonator up the midpipe and add the factory resonator at the end for the nice angled side exit that I like, plus the added benefit of an extra resonator to help with the obnoxious raspy high note under...

    I'll give you the in-cab WOT for before and after, that's really the only comparison I have right now. It sounds amazing on start-up, but in all honesty, I'm going to add another resonator. It's way too damn loud at WOT, Obsoxioisly so in fact haha BEFORE...
  10. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Parts are installed!!!! Installed the aFe BladeRunner intercooler pipes first and then installed the aFe catless downpipe. All i can say about the installs, the charge pipes weren't too bad it install. The cold side pipe was an absolute bitch to get in, it feels like it's about half an inch too...
  11. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Muahahaha!!!! I know what I'm doing this weekend! :rockon::like: It's about to go down! I'll keep everyone posted and take a lot of pictures to hopefully make a write-up for both the charge pipes and downpipe! Wish me luck and as few bloody knuckles and streams of profanity as possible :crackup:

    Goodbye stock paper filter. Hello K&N! Parts are starting to arrive! :rockon:
  13. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Well I know I didn't touch the manual shift buttons as I had both hands on the wheel, still not sure what to make of the clunk/surge coming from the transmission. It's been having a slight clunk when coming to a stop for a few weeks now so I wonder if there's something not quite right with the...
  14. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    I did, when I took it back out on the same time and tried it again, I had the datalog recording this time. I synced my cloud data over, does that mean he now has access to my datalog? In the meantime, I'm flashing to the same time but changed a few settings. I had to fill up with 92 today as...
  15. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Ok, some interesting results on the built in tune. Curious to see if you've had similar results Doc. The only things I changed in parameters was the octane to 93, auto start/stop off, removed speed limit, and upped the Rev limit in N and D to 7075 and 7100 which should only be about 400rpm above...
  16. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    First part arrived today!!! Muahahaha, and so it begins!!!!
  17. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Well balls lol. Nope, don't have that! Although I did find that ARB makes an air locker specifically for open diff Rangers. The advantage of their locker vs the stock eLocker is apparently the ability to stay locked regardless of speed, whereas the factory eLocker will automatically unlock after...

    Where would the icon show up on my dash? I'm like 99% sure that I've got an open one wheel wonder back there
  19. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Nope, mines 4x2, hence my apprehension of traction becoming an issue as I add power. Drag radials will help quite a bit, thinking of doing a staggered wheel setup with the stock size up front and 12 in wide in the rear. Unfortunately mine did not come with any kind of locker, at least not that I...
  20. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Ouch! I know I'll eventually have to get something like this kit if I want to be able to control the power is like to put down, wheel hop and axel wrap are going to be a bitch when launching I'm assuming. I figured I'd build up the power first before tackling suspension. I may look into building...
