Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
I'm guessing this won't be driven on the street.
Work so far looks great.
What rear end? 8 3/4, D60?

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
Looks nice, cant wait to see it run. Did you change the internals at all?
Now I can be like all those other awesome people with more than one Jeep in their sig, but now I have to say one of them is sold:(
97 XJ 4.6
90 MJ 4.0 - sold
I want to have as many Jeeps as children. DD, offroader, drag MJ and another one. 4=4

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
Car is for drag racing only.
Has a 9" Ladder bar coil over setup
Here's the bottom of the car now.
The headers were made from a stock set
No internal changes yet, but will probably make a cam change after I get a baseline on the dyno.

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
What kind of boost are you going to be pushing? I've heard 6-8 is all you want to run on stock internals...

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
THAT IS AWESOME How do you think MegaSquirt would work on an XJ, normally aspirated stroker?

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
What trans are you putting behind the 4.0? I'm interested in what's good for racing and mountable on small-bodied AMC cars.

Re: Turbo 4.0 AMC Spirit
I am really surprised this thread hasn't seen more attention. You build and execution of the turbo set-up is super clean, and warrants more attention than it's getting. FOR SURE!!
Do you have any more detailed info on what you are using? Injectors, Turbo, wiring, etc. I see you are using MS to control the engine, does it interface well with the Chrysler TPS, CTS, etc?
