Great to see your name pop up!!!!

Dude, Honestly the temp gauge and compass are horrible and finnicky. My temp does work now. But blinks. I have no idea how to permanently fix them so you're on your own. I plan to replace it with a 2"x 1" arduino board that shows my fuel pressure, outside air temp and then my boost controller settings.

https://www.youtube.com/@ochszy3831/featured here is my youtube channel! What I will do is post the videos here one by one and give a deep dive as to that state of the project to keep the form updated!

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive and kicking and so is the Jeep! Life has been crazy growing into an adult. That is an understatement. I have so many updates. The Jeep is 10x cooler than when I have last posted. I will be significantly more active on here and would like to make an effort to revive the community. I went through a fire on Feb 19th, 2026 and lost everything... except the Jeep. I'm so excited for the next chapter of my life. I have a Youtube channel I have been uploading regularly on since 2021 I believe ill link here too. Everyone one here that has replied, I feel like I grew up with you guys, I'm the best mechanic I know now (in part thanks to all of you). Thank you everyone so much, I am 29 now. Closing out on my 20's and I've had my Jeep since I was 15. I believe I started posting on here when I was 18 or 19. Time flies. Hope someone I used to talk to on here sees this. I will update soon with a video but for now.

Welp.... I'm 28 now as of the 11th. I still have the Comanche, its in pieces! I wanted to buy new Napier fender flares and saw that they went out of business... Sad to see. I started a business and the Jeep fell to the wayside and I really miss it. Time flies. Ill update once i have it mostly together :) Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hahaha maybe one day! I considered it when I blew the skirts on the 4.0 but I don’t have it in me right now [emoji23] maybe in 5 years! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, Could an Admin please rename my Thread to "1986 2.8L MJ to 4.6 Turbo Stroker"

So, I blew up a piston skirt on the 4.0 when i was having a fueling issue. It would backfire under boost and I think it stressed the piston too much. So I went ahead and had it bored .030 over and ordered a 4.6 stroker kit from Cleggs! (They were awesome to work with, Highly Recommended) Scat Forged Rods, Icon Pistons, MLS Gasket ARP Bolts for the main caps and heads (The head studs are on back order for 6 months as of now) All the fun stuff! I'm still at 6psi but working my way up to 10 with my tuner! I'm sure it could hold upwards of 20, but I have a 1.5 BAR Honda map sensor so i can't exceed 12psi and I don't want my tuner to have to completely remap all the tables! Its probably going to be far more reliable with 10psi as well! Here are the pictures, It took about a month from start to finish but most of that time was waiting on parts and the Machine Shop. Id say around 4 days of working time!
