I was thinking of getting one of these and putting it in my jeep for some added horsepower don't know how hard it would be to install one of these also what else beside the actual supercharger will I need for everything to work

How much money ya got? It's beneficial to establish a budget first, then there are fewer surprises.

there is no surprise I im broke I don't have a budjet im not trying to build a rocket ship.


I have an old jeep that I was looking to get more horsepower out of. so far I have a flowmaster super 40 muffler and that's it for upgrades.


You gotta remember its an 89 Cherokee there is not even a book value on it if I get 5 more years out of it ill be happy.




I figure because I can pick up the m90 for fairly cheap why not try it .


I obviously don't have 5g's to upgrade a stock Cherokee that has no market value.


I was hoping that I could somehow get more power out of it then the high output models without spending several g's


200 hp or more idk if that sounds possiable.




If you know of a cheaper option then the m90 fill me in

Better to leave well enough alone then, any performance improvements will only hasten your Cherokees demise. Wouldn't hurt to drive it as easy as you can either.

I agree with Turbo XJ. You need a good budget as you can run into problems that may need money to remedy.

well I guess that sums it up I mean I picked this thing up for $300 it only has 90 thousand miles on it and I have already sunk 3'gs into it new leaf springs all new sensors brakes shocks wheel bearings gotta do a front axle seal when it warms up.


I have been told by a few people that have said almost the same thing here drive it easy don't beat on it baby it but im a younger guy so I tend to step on the pedal


I don't dare go over 65 for more then a couple mins I have a steering part I need to have replaced so I mostly just step on it around town .


I was thinking that where as I only paided a couple hundred and it was fairly old and I would prolly be sending it to the junkyard when im done with it that it wouldent matter what I did to it because I would just go and try to get something new like a 2000 or above year car anyways


So you guys are saying don't waste my time so I should just go buy a 5.0 mustang.


those cars are too well known stuff like that is known I was going for different and a powerfull Cherokee is something most people don't expect.


I cant even take a kia spectra at a light it would smoke me kinda lame

Fox body is a nice ride, but then again it takes lotsa time & money to go stupid fast.

RubberSideUp

It will be cheaper to buy a fox body than to make your XJ perform like one.

Kia won't like you much now:

Notchbacks look so much better though

Five point slow

Forced induction isn't for amateurs or people with no money to throw around. I've been through all the go-fast cars in the past, still have a couple that don't get used, and I have found that my "slow" jeep is a LOT more fun! Having a big-block car that can hit 160mph looses its appeal after you realize that aside from a racetrack there is no place to actually enjoy it. The jeep, on the other hand, can be used any given weekend and has been more thrilling to me than the screaming 521 in my Torino. Less tire smoke, but about the same gas mileage, though.... LOL

Just some food for thought

Forced induction is for enthusiasts... amateur or not. How do you think hot rodding got started? Yeah, amateur enthusiasts... who were mostly broke.

Told my girl I just had to forget her,
Rather buy me a new cartburettor,
So she made tracks sayin' this is the end now,
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now,
