hey yall i just joined the forum and i got a question. i had the idea of turboing the old jeepy. anyone know what i could steal a turbo off that would work well on the 4.0? could a get away with just bigger injectors or would i have to get the ecm reprogramed too? i dont have any plans to buy a kit, im a big boy i can fabricate any ideas or back would be great thanks

lots of talk about this on this forum... can search and find most of it... but a turbos a turbo in my opinion... boost will need to be regulated to the max a 4.0 can handle so as long as the turbo can push that your good... but this is not a good idea in my opinion... wasted money that could go to something else... like a V8 swap, or stroker motor or something...

well not nessacerly, to big a housing it wont ever spool, to small and it wont stay in its effciency range, and i tried to seach and everything i found pretained to kits. i have a sbc layin round i could swap but turbos are fun i think and make cool whistly noises . i thought of a 4.6 stroker but id still want a turbo. what can a 4.0 handle boost wise? 10ish?
