There is a guy on naxja who sells an exhaust manifold that a turbo can be directly connected to- goes by "boostwerks". Pretty sweet setup but I have always wondered how forced induction would perform on a trail in comparison to a stroker with the same hp and torque. Would it even get spooled up much in 4lo?

The biggest thing is monitoring and tuning. Any jackass can try to throw a turbo on something but tuning and monitoring is always left out for some reason, as if installing a turbo was like doing an intake. I've got a single turbo 500hp 4cyl, and spend loads of time data logging runs, doing dyno sessions, and adding monitoring devices. The XJ would be no different. So to that I say, no thanks. One boosted car is enough headache.
Haha, pocket loggers are wonderful things. I always had mine.Originally Posted by s14unimog
After that sweet *** air-to-water cooler, he puts a dinky *** knock off HKS SSQV blow off valve; with the fo-carbon fiber too. Gross.The biggest thing is monitoring and tuning.

Honestly, I think that's what I want to do. A couple weeks ago a friend of my moms said he works at a place that sells the trucks that have them underthe hood. Used of course, but that's perfect.Originally Posted by generalcrawl
the turbo thing is cool but a 4bt cummins swap would be f!@#*&g awesome, and you get a turbo
And then go to bio diesel.
