I scored myself a sweet 95 2dr 4.0 AX-15 231 with 121k on the clock and ZERO rust on this baby, a rare find here in New England. Since I've already got a 99 on 35's with a HP60 waiting for it, I decided this would become a street bound XJ ready to take on anyone who thinks they can mess with jeep power. Mostly everything non-drivetrain related will stay stock, simple comfort upgrades like a 97+ console and some full gauges. Appearence wise, it'll get lowered roughly 2" with a SUA setup on a bastard pack out back and some cut coils upfront. I'm thinking maybe some black rubicon wheels, blackout nose, and a cowl hood should give it a slightly aggresive look.
Current plans are:
-Built stroker
-Normal stroker goodies; 4 counterwieght crank, rework stock rods (unless a set of eagle's appear at a sweet price), dished pistons, cam, HD valvetrain hardware, roller rockers, port and polish work, ect....
-FORCED INDUCTION!!!
-Why the hell not?!?! Once the stroker is done and driving and I start to crave more power, it'll be time to start on the next level. I'll be building my own custon setup and make it *cough cough* budget freindly. For this, I'm leaning more towards a superchager instead of a turbo. Which type of setup, on the other hand, is still in question.
M90
The first idea I have is bulding a custom intake manifold to mount a M90 on. I wanna be able to keep eveything under a stock hood, so I'd make it so it sit lower or something like 505's idea with it on its side
Also similar to something like Rimmer's 1st gen setup
Centrifugal Setup
My lastest ideas have been about mounting a centrigual supercharger where the A/C compressor is, similar to XJ-Armors setup. I've never been one to use A/C anyways, I'm a windows down type of guy. Not only will I be able to shed the wieght of the A/C stuff, I'll have a place to mount the superchager. This also opens the possibilty of easily piping in an intercooler for some more HP. Since the condenser won't be needed, I should be able to slip something behind the stock grill
Now I know that a M90 is a good match for the I6, but I need some more ideas about what size/type of centrifugal blower would work best with this engine. Hopefully since this is OBDI, I can keep the computer happy with some adjustable sensors and the engine happy with some larger injectors and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. This thread (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=994494&highlight=blown) has giving me some great ideas but I know theres some others out there that like to try and make more power like me.
