I have a 96 2 door with the 4 cyl. I've done the plugs, wires, filter, etc but does anyone know of any intakes, headers, or other ugrades? I want more mpg's and more power Any ideas? thanks!

sorry bud, not many owners of the 4 banger like you and i around here. only performance upgrade that i know of (havent look so im not saying there is none) is a turbo......which i think would be a good upgrade as long as you dont plan on doing any driving in water(it would probably crack or explode)

i am in the same predicament,,, my jeep is gutless going up hills on the highway,,, need my own slow lane

you actually do have some passing power, shift to 3rd and youll get that passing power you looking for (dont go too fast though)

best advice I heard regarding the 4 bangers. sell it and buy a real motor

all of the other motors i've owned have been 350 or higher but i do like the mpg's of the 4 cyl thanks for the advice with the turbo i might try it but its a little out of my price range for now

My brother has 4 banger in his (lifted w/33's under) wrangler, He loves it. The difference in the MPG's made up for lack of power on highway. As for upgrades, I believe you have the usual. Cold air intake, Bored TB, Injectors, Headers & Cat, Exhaust system. All of which should improve your MPG's anyways.

I had a four banger before I bought my current 4.0, the only upgrade I did was a $25 cold air intake I bought off ebay, it got me +2 mpg's on average and felt like a little more power. It made it sound like a rice rocket though. It kinda sucked having a jeep that sounded like a honda civic.

only thing upgrade that i think would really give some good results on a 4 banger is a very high flow intake and new exhaust....i can feel my jeep has more power but cant pull the air it wants

those newer 4 cylinder cherokees are nice, the ones from like 95 on. the one i had was great to drive with a 5 speed.

thanks guys the cold air intake is first on my list

I've got the 5 speed and i really like how it drives for a 4 banger and the mpg's are a lot better than my dodge

xj_maniac_newb

yeah, and torque wise the 4 banger isnt bad at all, its in highway that it could use some improvement

anyone know where to get 2.5 parts such as the intake? google didnt work well I found a lot of filters but no entire intakes... also thinking of swapping the TB from a 4.0 into mine anyone know what years will fit?

X2, That's exactly what my brother said. With his 4 banger.

superj

no but you can always just make a spacer if the bolts don't match up
