is the derail dual pass cooler for fuel ? if so thats pretty neat.

Yup. Since the fuel is essentially going from the hot fuel rail back into the fuel sump, I figured a cooler would be a good idea.

Fuel system is done! The rail is ice cold even after driving around for 20 min.







Front frame rail:



At the back of the rail:





Threw some condoms on the injectors:







More updates coming soon. :cheers:

Plans to protect the cooler on the underside?
And do the heat 'condoms' really make a difference?

Not at this point, but I could fab a skid off the frame rail fair easily. :thumbup:

No idea on the condoms, but I had some heat sleeve left over so figured what the hell. Considering the exh manifold gets hot enough to cook everything that's near it, I'm sure they will help keep the fuel cool at least.

BUMP for some updates.

So the turbo system has been pulled and will be up for sale here soon. I just don't have the time to dial in the little things (heat control, tuning...ect) and could use the $ to cover some bills.

I'm reverting back to NA for now, but with a ported head/intake manifold, bored TB and a banks header. I may eventually go back to boost, but for now I have much more pressing things to get done.

I'll post up some pics here soon

Quick pic of the trans that will eventually be swapped in...

This guy is FS as well! Let me know if your interested!

It's a TJ NV3550 with low miles.

The turbo stuff has been pulled this past weekend. In an effort to get a little more flow out of the clearwater head I decided to give it a mild port. I was able to take substantial material out of the exhaust ports, and simply gasket matched the intake ports. I then threw on a shiny new Banks revolver header.

I'll be fabbing up a 2.5" down pipe and keeping the back half of my 3" exhaust. I'm hoping it's not going to be insanely loud, but we'll see.

The port match was done using a late model metal gasket for accuracy. I then blended the top and bottom exhaust ports to better merge to the header.

Before:



Almost there:



Complete:

Lightly wrapped up the header with some DEI titanium wrap I had left over from when I built the turbo stuff...

Sneak peak of the hidden winch mount prototype...

That winch mount is freaking sweet...

Will be interesting to see the clearance and such for this

Sweet!!

I have been wondering how this was progressing. Looks like very nicely.

Thanks dood.

It is tight for sure! Definitely one of the reasons why I've had several revisions to the design. The production unit will be different from the one shown here even. I've had to make enough room to account for the larger steering boxes, keep the winch out of the mech. fan and still keep enough room for the factory bumpers. Nothing like packing 100lbs of awesome in a 5lb bag.

Im assuming this will need to be paired with a aftermarket motor mount to avoid engine movement?

They shouldn't be required. I'm trying to keep the winch forward enough to clear the fan.

I finished the downpipe earlier tonight. Fit's nice and toight. Now to port the intake manifold and throw it all back together.

Down pipe available? I need one if not I'm either going to the Tj style that wraps around the front of the oil pan to keep it from dragging on rocks.

This I did not know? Good info

Nope, just a one off for my heep.

I cant wait for the release of the winch mount.
