Jeep 4.0 built turbo motor first start

[@shawn284]

Sounds great, awesome work on the motor!

Sounds like a wet fart actually but that'll be something I address down the track with a new muffler arrangement as the old setup is a bit rowdy for the new build. Thanks for the comments though it's finally approaching some sort of completion.

Hey mate was you seelling this engine setup awhile sgo gor 1800.im not interested im going to supercharge my 01 tj..i can appreciate all the fab work you have done.very nice.

[@BoostedTJ]

@@Jeepvanboat the original setup was for sale for like $1000.00 but only people with no money were Interested so I cut it up and binned it. Thanks for the positive comments, it's going to be a few more months now because I'm doing aftermarket engine management so it's just sitting there doing nothing.

@@BoostedTJ I have owned my tj just over a year.i brought a pretty standard 01 tj.with a fresh engine in it.its now soft top half door.on 35s I'm getting my head around,these TJ's..my next mod is winch and re gear to 4.56s .these little TJ's on 35s is scary at 100 kph lane changes are interesting 🤣 getting all the suspension setup right is the key...I tow a little 14 foot boat the 4.0 is plenty.i think supercharged will give it a touch more pull up hills.but in all real terms a tj on 35s ,90 kph on freeways is it.🤣

How easy was it? I always joke about putting a turbo on my tj. Also, what is the purpose of the snorckle because it looks like the air intake is exposed close to where the stock is with a K&N filter. Either way that looks like it was a fun project good job.

[@BoostedTJ]

To do it neat like this it's literally hundreds of hours of fabrication work. If you go back to the older video you will see the snorkel was functional but is too small for this setup so currently not in use but will be again. How hard it was to do is entirely dependant on your abilities or financial position if you want to pay someone else.

I'm interested in this conversion on my 4.0 TJ here in the UK. Fuel is so expensive and I'm wondering how it may effect the Miles per gallon.

[@BoostedTJ]

@@FrankieWildeDJ well the Motors gone from making 190 hp to being good for something like 600 horsepower at only 15-17 lb of boost, fuel injectors have gone from 24 lb to 80 lb so yeah it's not going to help your fuel economy

@@BoostedTJ hearing those stats who cares about mpg! Great project anyway and has inspired me.
