It is aimed at the point where a stock-turbo Explorer ST, Explorer Platinum or Lincoln Aviator starts losing commanded rail pressure — more boost, a cooler day, or a tank of ethanol, and the standard pump can no longer keep the rail full. Taking pump and injectors together sizes the fuelling as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stock-turbo 3.0 EcoBoost that pulls rail pressure in the upper gears once boost or timing rises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA first fuelling step taken before the tuner is booked, so the map suits finished hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving onto full E85 or a blend with the factory turbochargers still in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImported Explorer and Aviator builds in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere The Stock Explorer Pump Runs Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cam-driven HPFP is the usual first limit on a direct-injection turbo V6. Ask for more boost, or switch to ethanol which needs roughly 30% more fuel by mass than 93 octane for the same job, and the standard pump runs short of volume before anything else complains. The Big Bore kit answers that with 47% more flow to a 248 bar maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Nostrum High Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: matched HPFP and direct injector bundle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: H186-1279\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: 3.0L EcoBoost Explorer ST and Platinum, Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Continental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump: Big Bore HPFP kit, 47% flow increase over stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjectors: six flow-matched Stage 1 direct injectors, 11% flow increase over stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded items: pump, injectors, stainless high-pressure tubes with OEM fittings, connector adapter harness, damper housing, installation guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusions: calibration, ESSIM ethanol module, low-pressure fuel supply parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment type: vehicle-specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat The Stage 1 Injector Step Keeps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 1 is the smallest injector move Nostrum offers on this engine, and that is the point of it. An 11% step leaves idle quality and part-throttle behaviour close to standard, which keeps a daily-driven Explorer straightforward to calibrate.
