Soo I was curious if you could put some kinda Fan system in your air box to make like a red neck turbo system. Possible ?

 

 

You mean this?

They don't do anything except turbo the money from your wallet.

 

it really seems like it would work tho

 

It doesn't, trust me. There are several videos on youtube proving these things don't work.

 

3-5 pounds of boost is what it says you can gain from one thats alot

 

It's lies.

 

Watch.

 

would be better suited for chopping onions and pickles for tuna salad.

 

alot of audi/ vw guys put them on their cars. called a vortex or something. piece of junk. If you want a cheap turbo, research strong oem turbos, and pull one off a car at a junkyard for like $25-$40. also, when I used to live in NY, alot of street racers there would find huge diesel turbos, and rig them to their engines.

But be warned, you need strong internals to run turbos. boost from 5-15lbs is safe on stock stuff, but above 15lbs I wouldn't recommend it. Everything is a money pit. My opinion? turbos are money craters.

 

I wouldn't even go to 10lbs of boost on an xj. Anything after 5 lbs id also put an intercooler and air/fuel controller

 

There's a reason turbo setups are expensive. Dirt cheap doesn't work and cobbling together a junkyard system is a good recipe for a viral fail video. Good turbo engines are built to -BE- good turbo engines, so throwing a junkyard turbocharger and some tubing on a normally aspirated engine can get festive, and quick.

 

dont do electric fans robs power. there really isnt going to be a cheap power gaining mod for a 4.0.

engine swap
super charger
and turbo all cost money to be done right

 

Get a small gas powered leaf blower and hook it to the air intake, then fab up a way to operate the blower's throttle with the Jeep's throttle.


I guess I should have watched the video before posting.

 

Yeah right ! You sir are clueless .
