Here is the low down on building a turbo set up for an xj. (at least here is my way)
Since I could not find any kits for putting a turbo on a cherokee, I decided to build my own.
The parts list and prices.
One used renix exaust manifold from the junk yard $60.00
The turbo Switzer t04b comp .60 turbine .96 P trim $300.00
Two turbo flanges inlet and outlet $30.00
Tial 32mm wastegate with flanges $200.00
Msd boost timing master #5462 $165.00
Aeromotive rising rate fuel regulator $115.00
Used 24lbr fuel injectors (from a mustang) $80.00
Boost gauge $40.00
Air fuel gauge $65.00
Gauge pod $20.00
Two 2.5in mandrel bent pipes $40.00
One 3in mandrel bent pipe $40.00
One 1 5/8in mandrel bent pipe $13.00
8in of 2.5 in hose $18.00
4in of 2in hose $6.00
Fuel line $20.00
4 2in to 3in hose clamps $25.00
Lots of misc fittings and clamps $35.00
K&N cone filter $30.00
Used mits eclipse blow off valve $20.00
Moroso breather $15.00
3in vband clamp $45.00
3in exaust with Dynomax muffler $300.00
Summit fuel pressure gauge $20.00
And misc supplys (ie paint, wire, pipe) $150.00
My total $1852.00 (the plan was to build this for $500. or $600. o well)
So now you know what I put into my jeep for parts, now labor. I built the manifold, by cutting all of the tubes off and fitted all of the tubes into a 2.25 in collector. The turbo is fed by a three in tube near the end of the collector. The wastegate is fed from the front of the manifold and sits next to the side of the intake manifold. The exausting side of the wastegate, runs parallel to the intake manifold and drops into the exaust down pipe.
The fuel lines have to be replaced and rerouted to the other side of the motor. I have the fuel regulator set @ 35psi @ idle and under full boost 47psi. I am running 7psi boost.
I have spent at least 150 hours on this project, ( I think it has been worth it) and now it is almost completed, I still need a bigger fuel pump, and I plan on working a intercooler in some how. I dont know how much hp I have gained but I can say it feels like a lot.
I would like to know what you guys think.
Thanks Jack:idea:
