i guess I could get it red hot then coat it in mud, rinse and repeat, aught to be just as good as ceramic right???

alex22 said:I would not run a remote turbo on anything that is going to be wheeled. It does not have the air speed past it to help in cooling it down, longer oil lines and hoter engine oil. There is also alot of turbo lag on the remote systems which would require you to rev the engine alot higher and slip the torque converter/clutch before you have the power to climb over that rock or stump. If I was going to mount a turbo I would use the stock header/manifold because of the small volume and shorter turbo lag. The manifold would need to be strengenthed with some thicker walled tube welded to it. Ceramic coat it and build a heat shield between the manifold and the intake manifold. I would try to have some type of innercooler. Either a vacuume pump or a manual master cylinder for the brakes. And some type of aftermarket engie computer, probably the F.A.S.T. I would run a turbo that is almost too small for it so it would spool up faster.

wolfpackjeeperkinda what I was thinking, a T3 hooked up to a slightly small compressor should work well with the existing powerband. Since I am already lifted, and planning on going higher, I was kinda looking at "massaging" some clearance room into the fenderwell.

How much were you looking for? Anyone have a part number for one? Preferably with an O2 bung already in it? Anything special needed for cali emissions package? I saw on autozone.com that there's one for cali only.Bryson said:They honestly just have larger honey comb structures (bigger holes) and typically only have 1 element where as most factory cat's have 2-3 elements.
I actually have a 2.5" high flow catco cat if your interested.
alex22 said:Did we cover the part about a smaller diameter cat back being better for low end torque because it will have a higher velocity with less exhaust flow through it? It will have less top end due to too high of a velocity and some wacky reverberations and such inside due to the hihg velocity.
I'm going to go with for my stroker. I want low end torque.

I know i was having some fun.wolfpackjeeper said:exactly.
What ever happened to Purple Cherokee?
Let this thing live. :flame:Bryson said:Yup, we did.![]()
