jeep killer finished it couple weeks ago. 3 days after I finished i took it to california-non stop overnight from colorado. I was a little scared to do such a drive after so liuttle testing but after the first 100 miles I felt good. I drove 3,300 miles in a week as our family vacationed in...

all done runs great

You convinced me steve I put a wastegate gasket (a nice one with real metel) at the discharge of the wastegate. I didn't put a gasket at the entrance of the wastegate as it has that "fire shield" ring. IS IT BETTER TO USE THE RING THAN A GASKET? SHOULD I USE A GASKET WITHOUT A RING? SHOULD I...

You convinced me steve I put a wastegate gasket (a nice one with real metel-the same one you refered me too) at the discharge of the wastegate. I didn't put a gasket at the entrance of the wastegate as it has that "fire shield" ring. IS IT BETTER TO USE THE RING THAN A GASKET? SHOULD I USE A...

Steve or anyone, do I need to use gaskets for the wastegate? the surfaces are machined and 3/8. no gasket=no blown gasket. ans d steve I just finished wrapping the turbine in heat that heat shield stuff-pain in the ass

the hanger for the downpipe-uses the spot to hang the oe exhaust finished the manifold heat shield. I wrapped the downppe. I am almost finished with the turbine shield-i baught the stuff you have to sew up-pain in the ass but looks good Question: I lost the instructions to the xspower...

port matching not fun I will use the factory o2 sensor-thus the fabbed oe specific bung

downpipe was fun. I just used a slip joint for the wastegate-these dont leak?

closer. fun build

full floating locked axles front and rear finished manifold port and part of downpipe yesterday. pics soon

Toysrme I love you man. Ok concerning the PCV: I realy like the check valve idea. I may go with that in the future but I'm in a hurry and the safari turbo system just takes the pcv to pre compressor to take advantage of that little bit of vacume-Im going to go this route for now-there havn't...

the turbo is a garrett t04e split housing 46trim .84ar turbine and .70 ar compressor. oil only. I should have pics up soon as this project must be completed within next couple weeks. question: the intake manifold has several vacume lines for various stuff. I have the egr worked out so it...

ill just put the meter before the turbo then and do some carefull wire work

cant move intercooler any more forward unfortunatly. notice the pass side of radiator is open in case i want to add extra electric fan. question---I still havnt decided if I should put the Air flo meter before the turbo (just behind the K&N filter) or put it after turbo and intercooler (just...

that white filter hanging out is the auxilary trany filter. it fits behaind bumper too.

another reason for my design is that the long head is aluminum promoting dissimilar thermal expansion. The oe exhaust header is a 2 piece design with a long "y" pipe connecting them and the 2 companies that make a turbo kit for this motor-safari (discontinued) and avo use a 2 piece log maniflod...

got the intercooler mounts fabbed up

Thanks for the replies Concerning my turbo design. I am not looking for incredible gains-300hp from this 221 hp motor is all I am looking for. I did some great weld prep and am a good mig welder. I believe the welds are as good as they could be for a mig welder. I also did some weld testing on...

how should i strengthen it?

do you think this manifold design will work better than just a long log style?
