What are you going to do about the WG pointing directly at the master cylinder?

Looks good though. Its about time someone actually put a decent sized turbo on the jeep.

I should have my turbo build going here shortly as well. Looks good! :)

well..i buy a special heatshield and may resist even 2000° F...this is not a wrap is like a piece sponge with a antiflame and heat protector..is a strange but works fine¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¿¿

very nice.... although I never considered the turbocharger's proximity to the ECU. I'm really curious how you'll resolve the problem (i.e. will a warp be enough)

well...we are thinking about relocating the ECU...if the heat shield works fine the ECU still in the same place¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
 
there is some new pictures...pharaon will post them in the next hours so when are up in the forum i explain all what you want to know...

the engine is running pretty well....the turbocharger beggins to work at only 2.000rpm so we are really happy...but we still have some problems because the adittional injectors, high perfoamnce fuel pump and vortech FMU are still in the installation process..the HKS AIC III work well but theres is some problems on seting the RPM and PSI to make the better curve¡¡¡¡¡ so when the turbo begins to charge we feel the need of more fuel...i beleave we gonna fix those problems when the fuel pump, FMU and additional injector are installed¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ in fact may be today the engine is set to charge 5 to 8 psi....the big intercooler help us to keep the detonation away and the engine is smooth and a torque monster¡¡¡¡¡

DYNO it!!!!! Numbers, man, NUMBERS!
 
I've actually been planning to mount a turbo in the same place as you. With ceramic coated up/downpipes the heat effect should be minimal on the power steering and fuel lines. A heat shield on the turbine should easily protect the ECU.

Are you really mounting that intercooler in front of the grille and everything like that, or is that just mocking it up?

NO IM NOT JOCKING.....
is imposible to put the intercooler in other place because is really big....now this is not a street car i mean im not want the best look...i want the best performance on sand...in fact the real origin for this project is climbing in straight line to the top of the medanoso dune in the atacama desert wich one is the most high in the world even more high than 45 dune on namibia desert¡¡¡¡¡ in this link you may see what iam talking about¡¡¡¡

the only vehicles are capable of doing it in chile are 5 or 6 the first one is a jeep wranlger hesco 4.7 stroker engine with a T4 turbocharger I/C with NOS...the second one is a FORD Ranger V6 4.0 turbocharged with a Garrett GT35 and a 100HP Nos Kit the third is a Ford U50 with a V8 350 engine with almost 500HP...the last one is a Suzuki Samurai with a Subaru 2.5 twin turbo engine (im not jocking)¡¡¡¡¡ now there is a lot of other 4wd with an incredible preparation like a wrangler turbocharger, Nissan Patrol GR With a V8 502 engine supercharged, tacoma turbo and other ones
trying to do that so is not a easy thing¡¡¡¡

so the look is the less part matter¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

the temp. is over 40-45° celsius degrees without any wind and the engine need to resist extreme conditions......so as you can see this is not my DD and neither a City Car¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Now we are in the process to add a high performance additional fuel pump and regulator before we program the hks aic so when we have the results i post it¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

sorry for my basic english¡

To me it wasn't about the appearance, although it is terribly ugly like that...

...but, the point was the fact that its gonna get mangled up there. One small rock on the road is gonna pop a leak in it... But if its never street driven I guess it's no biggie, sand can't do much to it.

You should consider an air to water intercooler that you can keep underhood instead, or some sort of top mount with a scoop.

Been hearing that for a few years now. You really should get going on it. :rof:

Just a year... ass. ;)

It's really hard to be a manager of a fabrication shop, run my own small business... and develop new products at the same time. :laugh3:

Here's an update:
1st manifold design didn't work out like I had hoped (scraped), the remote mount kit wouldn't allow an intake tube (scraped), so I've now redesigned the manifold making it fit like a glove. This is really what I should have done in the first place instead of trying to get the remote mount kit to be perfect. It would have worked just fine, but you'd have to run a filter behind the transfer case. I want the kit to be a little more offroad worthy, so I decided to scrap it.

I can assure you, this new manifold will be worth the wait. I wouldn't have spent so much time on this project if it wasn't. Right now I'm just waiting to get some time to build it, but my race car is taking up most of it. :roll:

Most modified turbocharged cars I've seen have the intercooler down low in front of the radiator with no screen in front of it. The worst damage they usually see is lots of bugs and the occasional bent fin from a pebble. It'll be fine where it is.

I do like you're idea of an air to water intercooler. It's more compact and some types allow you to throw ice in the cooling liquid.
