has anyone heard of someone super and/or turbo-charging a 4.0? im not saying im going to do it because 1. i know what could happen if done wrong 2. i dont have that kind of money. im just mearly curious if its possible and what the benefits and drawbacks are especially if you go wheeling!

 

There are tons of turbo builds, just do a simple google search.

 

Check out this guys build...https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/ne...100318/index7/

 

thanks guys! didnt know anyone had tried this already, id love to have my jeep turbo-ed... mmmm sounds like fun already

 

If you run a turbo, you would want to run a small one that spools up fast. A big turbo with turbo lag would suck on the trails.

 

There is a guy on pirate that has like 26 pages of a write up in his I6 4.0 turbo.

He explains all the numbers, how to, costs, etc..

 

505 performance. They have a kit. they also have the only roller camshaft for the Jeeps. Their 4.0 has 700ish HP and 750ish torque. Oh and it lasts

 

Larger hotside with a medium compressor would rock. Low spool under load, and very efficient boosting capability.


It wont be cheap or easy if done right.
