Jeep TJ Wrangler 4 Litre Turbo GT3582 NGC3

Here is a reasonably brief rundown of my 2006 TJ Wrangler turbo build.

Excellent work man! Looks like quite the job to fab all that up. I would love to turbo my TJ

[@BoostedTJ]

Hey thank you I really appreciate that, I'm currently refabricating the entire hot side, it's looking much nicer this time around

[@KyleSVT]

@@BoostedTJ Very nice!

[@shawn284]

Beautiful work! Subscription added and time to catch up. Thank you.

[@BoostedTJ]

Thanks for subscribing, currently waiting on new forged internals to turn up so I can put together a built motor, expecting power outputs to be over 500 horsepower this time around so there should be some interesting build videos popping up.

@@BoostedTJ sounds great, I'm looking forward to the content 👍

Man this is a really nice build for what we have out here wich is about close to nothing since there is no real turbo kits for a jeep tj Id love to see this thing progress into something badass if you do build a motor and what not thats my plan for me, build a nice motor that can punch out 300hp N/a and then slap a supercharger or turbo,or a centrifugal S/c since thats what im currently thinking about but i would have to make my own brackets to hold it wich leads me to go with a turbo plus i do like the noises of a turbo but i'll see what i can do later on in life :D

[@BoostedTJ]

The motor build has begun, the first video will be head porting while I wait for the forged internals to turn up 👍

[@MeatPez]

Love this. I’ve been doing months of research to prepare for my own turbo build. Do you have any plans on building it out and lowering compression or any plans for the motor in general? How has your reliability been so far?

[@BoostedTJ]

@@MeatPez this was a factory stock motor and happily ran 10 lbs boost on premium petrol for a year with plenty of hard running. Keep in mind 2005 2006 TJ's already have steel head gaskets so that helps a lot too. If you look at my newer videos you'll see I've just built a fully forged motor and then experienced a PCM failure in the First day of tuning so I am now working on a Haltech setup for it. Regarding your comments about compression, they are already stupidly low and require no further reduction if anything I would increase compression.

[@MeatPez]

@@BoostedTJ Ahh that’s amazing to hear how well it’s taken it. Super valuable insight, I’ll definitely take note. Sorry to hear about your pcm failure that’s always fun. Love your build and wish you the best of luck with it👍

[@spillsy33]

Nice setup ,always wondered if standard computer would be OK with boost

[@BoostedTJ]

Depends if it's renix, jtec or ngc and even then there are some limitations

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

Badass

[@BoostedTJ]

Thanks man, the new build is even nicer

[@cdmax2141]

I have an 05 same ngc3 mine cuts spark as soon as it sees boost. Did you run into this?

[@BoostedTJ]

You need to scale the map sensor

[@JFabrication]

Awesome what RPM does the GT35 start making pressure at?

[@BoostedTJ]

@@JFabrication that eBay special just started from 2500rpm with a 0.83 exhaust housing but wasn't making good boost until 3000rpm and them the engine ran out of cam and head flow at 4500rpm. It was a strong but narrow power band. On the new motor with the PSR turbo even with the 1.01 exhaust housing starts making boost at 2000rpm but I haven't tuned the car yet so I don't have more hard data.

[@JFabrication]

@@BoostedTJ wow thats helpful for sure, im between 3 options at the moment, an ebay special t04e .63, a pulsar gtx3076 or G30770 .83, and a buddys garrett GT35R with tial .83 leftover from a subaru build. I was hoping to start making some pressure around 1700rpm with the meat of the torque at 2500-3500rpm.

[@BoostedTJ]

@@JFabrication it's really hard being able to predict without compressor maps which you won't have for ebay turbos. Is the motor stock internals? What size exhaust is going on it and is it full length? What engine management/tuning?

[@JFabrication]

⁠@@BoostedTJyou are so right, such a gamble, they may clone the wheels but also the bearings are weaker, and castings have been proven to differ from the original with misprinted or calculated A/R. My build will be 100% stock engine and under 10psi target. Tuning with Hp tuners is planned. A full exhaust system of 2.5” with free flow muffler resonator style only no chambers or stock cats anywhere.

[@littlebastardsracing49]

Nice build but u'll be rebuilding that 4.0 very soon basically a tractor engine the Pistons take all the abuse rings ECT adding a turbo will shorten life spans J's very nice set up tho🤙

[@BoostedTJ]

The biggest issue actually is high cylinder pressure and tight ring gaps expanding and causing the piston crown to break off. The car has been running this configuration for over a year now and hasn't had a fault whatsoever, when it does eventually die I will do a built motor but until then ill just keep jeepin.
