If you get a miss get bigger plugs.. wider tires now too.. and solid motor mounts..and youll need a turbo airtex or oem fuel pump from a turbo version..

Awesome video. Going to watch a few more times, but could you start answering at least SOME of the questions in the comments? How did this change the performance, on and off road? You said it helped you keep up on the highway? My 2.4 TJ never had a problem with that. I tend to leave my cars stock, except for the suspension. They're cars. When I want speed I ride my motorcycle.

@EAGLINWRX 2 жыл бұрын

Idk where you’re from. But in VA the 2.4 struggles a lot on the highway. Any minor incline and you have to put it into 5th, and major incline and you need to drop to 4th, at which point. You’re screaming at 4500 rpm maintaining the speed limit on the highway. Not very viable. The 2.4 running 33s is great for city but for the highway it just doesn’t have the pep. When you’re in 4th in the highway you can physically see the fuel gauge dropping and money leaving your wallet. I wouldn’t be surprised if this turbo increases mileage on the 2.4.

@my1little2pony 4 жыл бұрын

so you didnt up your injector size at all i have put a turbo on my 2006 2.4l tj as well and i didnt ad the split second enricher (yet) but like you said it dose run in closed loop i have the wide band o2 installed and it keeps the fuel mixture pretty good untill i hit about 5 to 6psi i have a 7psi spring installed but i run out of fuel if i let it rev at that boost level was wondering if you have stumbled across a upgraded injector i would like to double the size of the injector and then put a 2bar map sensor in it off a srt4 they seem like they would work and maybe putting in a split second module to deal with the timing

Turbo is awsome I have a 2.5 ltr tj 98 registration , have seen the kits you are producing am very interested in purchasing a kit in the hopefully near future can you please work out the cost of your kit plus shipping charge to the uk England if you could also do the turbo also it would save a lot of running about this end trying to obtain one to fit as so far the only one available from the breakers yards is the toyota supra model and are like hens teeth to find or like you I could probably obtain one on ebaybut would be more expensive over here . Good luck with your buisness venture buddy in producing the kits I think you will find a lot of tj owners over here will also be getting in touch , excellent videos . Dave S

Truth! Factory engine is just fine! Creates just enough power if you know how to drive it! I watched this video years ago and thought adding a turbo might be cool just to keep extra performance just for fun! How is your jeep to this day? Curious! Oh, and seriously from watching these videos and other some phycos showed up in our local stores doing bits on turbos as if they thought taunting would speed up the process! Bensons to be exact, people are spun! Anyway, is your vehical still running well with the turbo installed? Any issues? Turbo fan solid still? What type of turbo did you buy? Cool if you can buy the parts without polotics or border costs

Also you increased the size of your aluminum tubing to 2.5" from 2" on the outlet of the compressor. Can you help my understand why you went that way. Bought 2" tubing and 2" intercooler. For my T3 w/AR.63 and external wastegate and BOV. I love your "split second" set-up. I'd like to pick your brain. And send you pix of my build.

@zackfab8847 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Dan, Lots of debate out there on sizing intercooler piping. My .02 cents: You want to use the smallest piping possible that still flows enough to meet your needs. Larger than necessary piping increases lag time slightly with no measurable gain. 0.4 Mach (~300 mph ish) is the point at which air becomes turbulent and losses in efficiency start to occur exponentially. The key is to stay under that speed. You can calculate the speed using your volume flow rate and the cross sectional area of the pipe. Smaller piping increases the velocity of the air flowing through it so you want the right balance. I chose 2.5" because it is a common size that had laying around. My turbo has hardly any lag to begin with so i was not worried about any lag issues.

@danbemman2271 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Zach! Thank you for the reply. That's what i figured was your reasoning. I've been working on mine for a couple yrs now. After i tore down the engine and made the decision to go turbo, then my house caught fire 2 yrs ago and the Jeep took a back seat. Now we're in a new home and pole barn I'm slowly gotten things reorganized and starting on a mock build on the engine stand and working out some details. I'll try to send you some more pix of my build. How much "get up and go" "seat of your pants" feel do your feel you got? Or have you ever gotten it dyno'ed ? Thanks for your creativity and video. I have watched and studied your work many times or more. I hope we can keep in touch With the progress of our work. Thanks again and Blessings to you and your family this Christmas.

Gauges run at 60hz and sometimes your camera records at 24, 30, or some hz other than 60hz. That means there’s a difference in time between when the led flickers and the camera shutter operates. This causes the flickering you see.
