my recent project...enjoy
 

well fuckers its been a while since i wason here and posted. i actualy got married this past year and got a really great job at a incredibly busy shop. been workingg on buying a house and hopefully having a little me running around soon,.
but my project...
i acquired a gm8 brand new for 50 bux from my job and decided my wrangler that i bought for $1 could use a little turbo love. for the tank it is, it moves pretty damn good to about 3k where i let off cause the wastegate i have is 18psi :-X/. if any one has a internal gate thats about 7-8 psi let me know. i need.

this is what i started with....i got 10 3.5" bends for 60 bux on ebay, and to combo bends.

first i figured out where i wanted the turbo to go...
Attachment 13970

then i relocated my battery to the trunk. i acutally un bolted the existing tray and used sheet metal screws to secure it in the trunk, and used the original hold down. i got some 4 gauge wire from napa and some terminal ends, and there ya go.

i then relocated the fuse box to where the battery used to be...

from the battery

brackets holding the turbo..
Attachment 13982
oil lines...i had two sections of ss braided brake lines from my s4 and the worked perfect off the t and
at the turbo. the piece in the middle is 3/16 brake line. the T is from homedepot and is 1/8 pipe thread
Attachment 13983
fuel pump and fmu. i had the pump neatly mounted on the fire wall but i made so much damn noise i clamped it to the fuel rail. i made up a relay for it using the existing fuel pump wires. its prefect.you can see the relay in the fuse box pic

thanks for looking

Holy ----, look what the cat dragged in! Im turboing my Jeep Cherokee right now too. You should join the offroad club I belong to. www.SISoffroad.com There is a lot of Fairfield guys in it. Conrats on getting married. Build looks great. I was going to use an FMU and a pump but I did 36lbs injectors and an AFC.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

haha no ----. what turbo you using? the pump and fmu work great i just need to get a smaller wastegate. i acutally am getting 20-30 more mpg turboed than not. how does it run with the afc? post some pics dood. i went out last weekend with it and its amazing how many kids are interested in a turbo jeep.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

All my parts are sitting in a box. Im starting it shortly. Im running a ching chong .48/.60 T3/T04E.

I like the DP welded to the exhaust housing. That is classic!

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

i didnt want to use an external wastegate so i cut the elbow off the housing and made that ganster ----.. its perfect. i consider that part of the downpipe a part of the turbo. cause its a pain to get off. lol

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

holy ---- look who it is. looks good jordan, we should all have a reunion meet one of these days. (yea right)

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Great setup, I like the way the turbo is mounted!

But, don't you think the engine movement will act badly on the turbo or the charge pipe?

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Why would it? It would all move with the engine. The only thing that wouldn't is the DP.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

The turbo looks fixed to the body, but maybe its not...

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

I see that fender mount now. I saw the A/C bracket at first.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

ya i got ride of that fender bracket . i was really just a way to hold everything in place till i got the downpipe and up pipe fabbed up. the thing sounds freaking mean. ill have to make a video once i get a smaller wastegate.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Are you retarding the timing at all? I got an MSD BTM for mine. How are you doing it?

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

im not doing anything yet. most people i have talked to say they never noticed any kind of pinging. im just running 93 gas and i got a set of champion 2 step colder plugs. once i get the boost dialed in correctly ill let you know how it is, since right now i dont bring it past 3k. it does however start biulding boost by 1800rpm. its like a k03 on an audi. do you know anyone that has a smaller wastegate i could pick up. im trying to not spend anymore money on this thing since i set a goal of 500 bux and spending anymore would break my goal. let me know if you do.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Ill check around the shop. Any flange? I just installed my BTM. I figure I will need it due to the AFC advancing me.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

ill take whatever you got just need something that isnt 18psi. im gonna check ebay.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

hey dave i have like 5 or so of those 3.5 in pipes left over if you want to make a sexy sounding exhaust. you can have for the cost of shipping or a wastegate if you like. :) they are just chillin in the back seat making noise. however. what is the best way to aim my exhaust tip so that i dont sufficate from carbonmonoxide like i am currently doing. aiming down probably? or ....

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Yeah Wranglers always pull the exhaust back in. Aim it down. Im staying with 2.5 exhaust for now. I needs to fit over my crossmember I built. Thanks for the offer though!

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

good deal. i need to do that tonight cause im dying. keep me posted on your install i wanna see some pics

Re: my recent project...enjoy

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

i put the thing in 4wd today and spanked an evo from the lauch. i detonate like crazy from 3k up i just pushed through it and i ------- spanked this evo till about 55 then it blew by me. lol i thought it was funny. he was all flusterd that a wrangler hung with him for as long as it did. this 4.0l is a tank. part of me wants to stand alone this thing and make the 1.4 bar wastegate i have my daily setting.
videos soon

Re: my recent project...enjoy

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

I was going to transfer there this year but they fucked me on my transfer credits. :3

Threw all of my ---- into "electives" then tried to make me retake all of my gen eds according to the "Miami plan" which I had already done. ----------ers...

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

nice build man, very impressed. Im friends with Dave (CSaddict) and I'm getting everything together now to turbo my Wrangler, i have a 95 YJ 6 cyl. Im going to try to run an intercooler, i have a few small side mounts from older Saabs and a factory front mount from a volvo 740 but I think the running the piping will be a pain in the ass with the volvo IC. anyway nice build man i hope to get the same good results.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

Jordan put the cock down and call me.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
 

cock down...calling now.

Re: my recent project...enjoy
