blown XJ

[JJacobs]

Modified engine mounts to drop the engine 1 inch would have the same end result, and since xj's have a unibody the body lift is a no go.

Really? Learn something new every day around here.

Just cut a hole in the hood and throw a hood scoop on. It wouldnt be even but it could work with the right one. I saw a guy running one down here but I was late so I couldnt go race him.

How much horse would this produce @ 6lbs?

Here's an example of an untuned rimmer set-up (@ 5lbs IIRC). The setup uses an M90 charger.

Here's an example of Think Performance charger (it's actually a second gen rimmer setup)

neither of those setups was ECU tuned or intercooled, so there's allot of room for more tuning.

505 performance was working on a charger as well. It's build was similar to the first gen rimmer setup...
only it was coupled with larger injectors, map sensor bypass and a programmed ftc box tuned.
The set-up was good for 90-100hp.

OH baby!!!!!

505 Performance is awfully proud of their stuff and isn't too forthcoming on presales information.

Another reason just to put a stroker in it and call it a day!

I like the mounting of the 505 setup, the post on pirate was on a wrangler and the M90 is mounted in place of the AC compressor, I would like to keep my AC, but the eng. compartment is just so tight on the driver side! I will play with this idea over the summer, i just purchased a 69 GMC sierra grande so i have something else to drive while playing with the jeep. The friend who gave me the M90 does custom turbo set-ups for a living so he said he'd make the brackets for me, I just have to come up with the mounting location and belt routing.

There's a guy that managed to hack an M90 on the passengers side. I saw it on youtube.

Also, XJ armor is working on a centrifugal supercharger set-up that mounts on the passenger's side
(but you have to ditch your AC compressor... which sucks ass)

I still want a supercharger.

I was thinking of that supercharger on my stroker..

Your comments are logical, but where's the fun in that?
Ask yourself, who would you rather bring to a kegger... George Bush Jr or Spock?

I was thinking of that supercharger on my stroker..

which one? the 505 unit?
They removed the 4.0L supercharger off their site a while back, but I know they still sell the tuned FTC seperately (for DIY supercharger applications).

 

[Kittrell]

I've never heard of Rimmer, they were local too. 505 bailed on their SC?

I want an M-90 on my stroker.

My dad has a home built CNC mill that can do more than some of the setups I have seen in fab shops and some colleges. So I am looking to find the specs for, and make the pieces to do it myself. Just got to find the time to take leave and do it after I find the blower.

I used it to make the spacer I needed for my brake booster swap, and next time I go home I will use it to make some 4.7 badges and new cherokee emblems, time permitting.

After we finished building their house a few years ago, and especially after we swapped 2 motors, mom stopped questioning dad on the need for new tools and equipment. He has gotten a lot of neat new tows since then.

The guy phased in and out of business a couple times. To my understanding, back in 95 he offered superchargers for Jeep 2.5L, 4.0L and 5.2L motors. He also offered a supercharger for the Landrover 4.0L V8, but I'm not sure when that happened.

He went out of business only to come back later with a revised 4.0L supercharger. It was featured here http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techar..._jeep_xj_cherokee_supercharger_kit/index.html. The Think Performance stampede supercharger was built off exact set-up (who knows... maybe it was Rimmer's company). They went belly up a few years ago.

I have no idea what happened to Rick Rimmer since.

 

[MTBracer367]

as far as the hood clerence goes you could always go DSM style and put a hump in the hood like this

might look kinda gay on an xj though

 

[wolfpackjeeper]

Just cut a big hole, be more fun
