Re: Cherokee budget turbo build thread update 10/18

Up pipe and downpipe all welded and wrapped up tight. 2 O2 bungs. One for the stocker and one for my wideband.

It's 11

0pm Friday. I just finished assembling. All that is left is to tap the oil pan. I marked it and pulled the plug to let it drain. I have an LM-1 on loan for tomorrow so I hope this thing gets done.

You know you miss the LM-1 you sold me

Silicone Intakes gets my vote, I had to order from them when I upped the boost over 10 psi and my Home Depot coupler popped

I just saw this thread tonight, looks like you don't need any more 2.5 straighties or I'd hook you up

Yeah, pretty easy on the charge pipe. I would have loved to intercool it but there is no room and when Im in the rocks I barely move so no air flow. Im going to build a water/meth kit for it. Maybe over the winter.

Re: Cherokee budget turbo build thread

ITS ALIVE!!! I took it around the block. Runs well for no tuning done. My new wideband was already shipped out to replace the defect. It overboosted the first time I briefly pulled it. I adjusted the wastegate and its good now. Not boosting it again till I can get the wideband in and I dont have to time today to borrow the one I was going to use. Here it is.
