Why wouldn't a 16g work? It will flow over 500cfm @ 14.7 psi before dropping below 60%. I would think that is well within his needs. And he will spool faster.

ok what would i be looking at when it comes to how much boost i can run on the stock internals as well as what do u think the spooling rate would be.. dont mind the slight turbo talk dont know the specifics about these things..

I don't know those types of answers my man. If you put the intercooler behind the radiator the answer will be me NOT MUCH. Cold air, lots of fuel, and proper timing are what keep stock motors from throwing fits and parts out on the ground.

ok i get you... the intercooler is goin to mount in a good location other than behind the radiator... i know i need fuel im goin to upgrade injectors... upgrade walboro fuel pump.. some form off fuel management and timing system... like i said before im not all that good with the electrical part im am goin to have someone tune it for me as well as do the electrical wiring and wat not with managemnt systems... im trying to find the best application without goin to big and not to small..

In time this project will be a street moster im just getting started here.

ok i found an Holset HX40 for about 275 shaft spins freely, no end play, and slight shaft play.. internal waste gate and downpip manifold.. i want to do a rebuild on it just so i know its all i proper working condition.. what would be a good place to find a kit..and when apart clean it up im dont know of to many shops here in miami that can do this without taking an arm..

You can run the stock turbine housing from a Cummins if you like or try to source a smaller one that fits which I never had much luck at. I have always gotten turbine housings like these to help me out.

1. Find a good condition HX35 or HX40 from a junkyard, ebay, craigslist, etc.
2. Get this turbine housing cut for the appropriate turbine wheel.
Tim's Turbos - Turbo Rebuilding - Steel Turbine Housing - T3 Inlet
3. Rock out with your cock out for less then $400 bucks if you get lucky.

Holeset HX35's and and HX40's can also be rebuilt on the cheap as long as the compressor wheel or turbine wheel don't get blasted and the turbo shaft doesn't get scored.

Forgot about this...... im a slow at work..

Just run it. Worry about the other parts you still need. If the turbo spins and neither of the wheels have hit the housings it will almost always be OK. The HX's are tough turbo's.

Got it.... im ordering it on monday so should have it by the end of the week... any suggestion on size injectors??? and pump?

turbof22a 02-13-2010 03:14 AM

just get a walbro 225. as far as injectors i dont know i have never fucked with a jeep so i can be any help there. if you dont want your intercooler to be seen just give it a coat of flat black thats what alot of people do to get the sleeper look.

2.5" outlet with 90 elbow welded on
Polished compressor housing
Compressor Inducer: 58.4mm (2.3")
Compressor Exducer: 84mm (3.3")
Big Shaft "Tuff Turbo" option
Journal bearing, oil cooled
P-Trim turbine wheel
T3 divided 1.0 a/r exhaust housing
6-bolt exhaust outlet

I don't think you want a P-Trim turbine wheel hoss. That will take a while to spool. That turbo you posted is the perfect turbo for a built 5.0L mustang looking to make nice power on the street and great torque.
