Well Im startin another "small" build thread. I've done all my homework and reading and researching and calculating.
So Im sick and tired of trying to pull 36" swampers up the long hills or through super soft sand. I look like an idiot sometimes when I have to but it in 4wd low!!! just to get through something.
Now we all know that the 4.0 inline H.O. six is a great motor. I love my motor. Its super reliable in all situations. So before anyone says "Go SBC", or "Go buy this S.C. Kit", or "Go buy this 505 Performace kit", I will flat say, Hell F*$K NO! Why, because I wanna BUILD something and be my own design. Enough of my soap box. Here are some pics:
Exhaust side:
another body shot:
and intake:
The A/R of the turbine is .63
The A/R of the compressor is .60
This will be installed on a 1993 YJ with a stock 4.0. This will be done and designed in a modular system for ease of quick changes with limited effort. I will run only 5-6 on boost to get the system to tune. Once tuned, I will turn up the boost.
Included in the buy was severel silicon hose attatchments, the exhaust flange to mount to the turbo, A Blow off valve.
The turbo is internally waste gated so I don't have to fool with that crap. I will have to change out the spring for the waste gate to get a lower boost. Currently set for 8-12 psi. That much and I will push out my head gasket and we don't want that.
I will run a inline FMU for fuel requirements. And a small intercooler will be in the works later.
First step: start building the exhaust pipe/flange to mount the turbo and new exhaust. I will be running 2.5" after the exhaust and 2.25 to the turbine. The turbo will be mounted on the passenger side for ease of room.
And ATP Turbo seems like they are willing to give me tech/phone support for when I need it.
For any more questions, read the following thread:

this won't kick off until after KOH. I gotta go work a Gate and Heckle the drivers as they pass by
