Your right, sorry, I'm not a mustang expert. but rx7s did.

and both the small and "big" 16g's use the TD05H housing. Both the compressor and hotside are the same size.

Its the compressor wheel on the "big" 16g that makes the difference.

 

cool, but i never brought rx7's into this except for when i refrenced cooling compared to the Xj and how your theory on how "the xj cooling wasnt as bad as an rx7" was garbage.

 

ANYWAY...

How about you stop changing the subject and address the other BS you were spitting that I called you on....

 

a Big 16G, or a T3/T4 would be fine. there is no BS that you "called me on" there.

 

We should all get together and turbo my jeep. Cuz all this small talk aint doing s***. If someone wants to prove this or that we'll do it on my donor.

 

 

Damn this thread BLEW up, like Grip's proposed turbo set up, while I was at work... I dont even know where to begin.

But my point to be made about the heating issue and cooler placement. Placing infront of the rad is a viable place BUT you have to think. Moostang, Rx7, hondas, whatever, with boosted applications point of purpose is speed. Speed creates air flow, air flow aids in removing/lower engine bay temps.

Jeeps no go fast. If you've ever truly wheeled your XJ Grip or anyone for that matter(not trying to flame Grip) you'll quickly learn its a slow process. Creating zero or very little ambient air flow. So temps build quickly. The only time my temps go above 200-220* is when Im wheeling because of this issue.

As we've declared the only real applicable purpose for a turbo is for the torque gain, which we would need at low RPMs because thats were 80% of motor operations occur during wheeling. Soo already increased engine bay temps plus added temps from turbo set up is no bueno.

My .02 cents to the "ToDo" list for prepping a turbo build for anyone who might be referencing this thread(god help you): Hood modification. Cowl, induction, hinge risers, louvers, something.

As you were gentlemen..

 

the OP said he has a turbo off of a supra and if memory serves me dont the supras have an inlne 6 cylinder 3.0? or something like that so for a low boost setup with small gains wouldnt his turbo be sufficient for what he wants to do

 

84-86 mustang SVO they had turbo 4 cylinders in them

I was going to turbo mine too I already had a manifold in mock up a turbo and a bunch of other stuff for it till I realized the work and money that would be going into it would pay off more doing a V8 swap

 

This is why i suggested a air to water charge air cooler with a seperate cooling system, but that by itself is gonna get costly quick.

 

Oh snap.

Thought so, but wasn't sure.

 

Haha i just read through this whole thing... and all i havee to say is... Grip. What did the world do to you??

Just toss some gears in them axles and enjoy how much torque youll have for such a cheap cost, and not worry about the complexity aand cost of a turbo setup on a jeep.

 

Ohhh man, if you could make the turbo set up like on the 2JZ-GTE you might have something there :drool: Although that setup is a twin turbo set up. :idea: I dont think anyones addressed that idea yet! Two small compressors, one small like a 16G feeding a slightly larger compressor might do the trick? Im no turbo guru but mechanical systems is my game.

Yea for some reason his post are more volatile that raw potassium in a rainstorm

 

Nothing wrong with a turbo on a jeep, but pretty pointless unless its put on a stroker motor. If you dont put it on a stroker motor, you will want to after you do it to get that extra power which will probably include changing some things on the turbo.. more $$$

And yes, the made 4 cylinder turbo mustangs. And they hall @$$, No reason to be hostile here guys, lets all get along

 

those SVO's werent that fast stock, but as with any turbo car, mods are cheap and easy.

I also think there is a DOHC Volvo head that bolts onto the block
