i am looking to turbo my jeep and i found a kit for it but dont want to spend that kind of money. does anyone know where i could find a turbo manifold or what to use in place of that? thanks in advance
Does the turbo do anything for them like the RIPP super charger does? Never heard of anyone ever wanting to Turbo Charge a 4.0.. Consider me subscribed..
505 Performance makes turbo systems for pre-JK jeeps. You can look at them here. However, at least member on this forum had a really hard time with his. Whether that means his installation was incompetent or the product was bad, I have no idea.
There are so many things you will need for a turbo setup...
Full exhaust, manifold, turbo, intercooler, plenty of plumbing, fuel pump, iinjectors, engine management, inlet, intake, a solid tune from a reputable tuner, dyno time, stronger transmission/gears/axles ect.........
turbo performance specialties turbo'd an unlimited like 2 years ago. Tell the owner Paul you got his name from Larry on here if you contact him. he may be able to offer some assistance with this.
i looked on 505 and thats why i was trying to find the manifold. i cant find anywhere i dont wanna spend 4,000 for the kit when i could do it myself. as for all the injectors and everything they wouldnt need to be replaced at the boost i was planning to run.
if you are able to put the kit together, why couldn't you flip an exhaust header upside down and fabricate a baseline for the turbo to mount to? While a different platform, we do the same on a mustang if making a setup.
Let me add that I not familiar with the exhaust port on the 4.0 so this may not be an option.
