  1. Florida For Sale: SCT BDX RevX & Stock parts

    Thankfully the truck kept me safe, although the airbags hurt like a mofo when they deployed lol. Anyways, I figured I'd ask $250, saves someone $150 off a new one. This one comes from Unleashed Tuning.
  2. Florida For Sale: SCT BDX RevX & Stock parts

    Well guys, I hate to say that my Ranger was totaled in an accident but I've unmarried my flash tuner and I'm hoping to recoup some of my loss. I'm selling my SCT BDX RevX Tuner, stock downpipe, and stock intercooler piping if anyone is interested.
  3. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Well guy's, it's been a blast building this truck but it's with a heavy heart that I say it's come to an end. I was T-Boned in my Ranger and it was totalled. All said and done I had her into the 12's on an e85 blend. Breaks my heart that she's gone, but onward and upward to the next project. I'm...
  4. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    @AtillaTheHung you actually gave me a great idea so thank you for the inspiration! I have no idea if it will actually end up amounting to anything but I figured I'd give it a shot. I've started up a Patreon page! Basically it gives subscribers a close relationship and open line of communication...
  5. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    Haha, thanks man! That's pretty much the idea, to build this truck as a reliable, daily driven, race monster that looks completely unassuming haha. I've always loved sleepers so this was finally my chance to build one from bone stock to beast lmao. I had a Mazda Mx 6 as my first car and built...
  6. How Do You Like Your AFE Intercooler Pipes?

    Correct, I went with the catless option. I didn't see a need to go with a cat since I'm in Florida and we don't have emissions checks and I'm building my Ranger specifically to get every available ounce of power out of it lol

    Just an update guys, I just started blending Ethanol! I'm currently running a 35% Ethanol and 65% 93 octane blend which brings my octane rating to 97 octane with a 35% ethanol content! Time to turn up the boost and squeeze some more power out of it! On a side note, I'd like to start getting my...
  8. How Do You Like Your AFE Intercooler Pipes?

    I had to add a no fouler to the bottom O2 sensor otherwise it trips a check engine light for Catalyst efficiency error. After I put the no fouler in, no issues whatsoever. I'm also tuned by Unleashed Tuning but it's worth noting that no tuner that I know of will touch anything emissions related...
  9. How Do You Like Your AFE Intercooler Pipes?

    I should have mentioned that I did charge pipes and my catless downpipe at the same time so it's quite possible (probable even) that the downpipe did far more than the charge pipes. All I know is that after installing both, the difference was night and day!
  10. How Do You Like Your AFE Intercooler Pipes?

    I absolutely love my charge pipes. Noticed a very big difference in spooling and sound overall. The only gripe I have with them is where the BOV attached, it's considerably taller than the factory mount so my GFB DV+ VTA rubs a little on the felt under the hood.
  11. Cat delete

    According to a friend that tried to keep up with me, he said it shoots flames and rolls smoke like a diesel lol. Rather run rich than lean for safety sake but I know that also means that there's a lot more power to be had within the tune itself.
  12. Cat delete

    Here you guys go. Got a video of startup and idle as well as a video of it revving.
  13. Cat delete

    I don't have any sound clips of it before putting the glasspack in from the outside, just the sound from inside the cab during a short run. And yes, no foulers are generally used for spark plugs but the thread is the exact same size as the O2 sensor, you have to use a 1/2in drill bit to make...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  16. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    That's a huge difference with just a tune! I'd love to get mine on a Dyno and see real numbers on it.
  17. 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...
  18. Darek's Black Thunder Build

    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...

    Bradenton here, about 5 miles from the drag strip at Bradenton Motorsports Park ? We should plan a meet one of these days in a fairly central location!! Say somewhere near the Tampa I-4 corridor I would think would be the most accessible to everyone.
  20. Who is running 12's in the 1/4? I did some weight reduction on mine!

    I have the 17 inch alloy but not the sport wheels. The stock Bridgestone Duelers are 255/65R17 and they are absolute garbage. 110 treadwear so in a sense they are softer so they stick a little better but I've only got 9,500 miles on my truck and they are almost to the wear bars. The fastest pass...
