socal1200r Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think I'll fab an air box close to where the stock one sits . Over in the corner . I've done this before , but I wanted to see some of your ideas . Guess I'll have to do some fab. work Thanks for the input . :thumbsup: Just posted this in the DIY section about installing a Uni foam filter inside the stock airbox: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 For the 91+ HO 4.0 engines there was only one factory CPS. bummer :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORDENCOMANCHE Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Anybody ever thought of bottled oxygen??? inject it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal1200r Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Anybody ever thought of bottled oxygen??? inject it? Hmmmm...I'm no physicist or chemist, but I'm thinking O2 injection into a combustible confined space = KABOOM, lol! 'Course all things in moderation, but maybe at a low enough rate, with a fitting under the TB might work, kinda like NOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 NOS is safer and better than straight o2. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 You couldn't get a big enough oxy bottle to really do any good. I prefer turbo charging. Don't go wild on the boost. Just enough to maintain sea level pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 For the 91+ HO 4.0 engines there was only one factory CPS. bummer :dunno: Not really, it's not needed. The HO ECU is fully capable of refining the A/F ratio at altitude, unlike the limited Renix system computer that is wholly external sensor dependent. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to maintain sea level pressure. I like the idea of a turbo charger , I have used them in the past , but I don't like what turbo's do to your intake and exhaust valves . Maybe one day I'll try that Avenger supercharger . Its bolt on and intercooled . As a matter of fact , Avenger 4x4 made the supercharger just for jeeps and holds a copyright on the design .

BORDENCOMANCHE Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yeah, like NOS. but I never thought of forced injection, good idea too, I am going to investigate Avenger 4x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal1200r Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yeah, like NOS. but I never thought of forced injection, good idea too, I am going to investigate Avenger 4x4. Just checked Avenger's website. Their intercooled supercharger kit for the 2.5L adds 58hp, and costs $4k! So that's roughly $70 per hp. I'm thinking it would be a LOT cheaper to just drop in a built 4.0, or depending on the cost of a donor vehicle, to drop in a small V8 (318 or 302). You'd end up spending a lot less money per hp going that route. But at least there's an aftermarket company that builds these things specifically for Jeeps...

Maybe I'm just dreaming . :drool: Thats one of the baddest kits I've ever found . I agree about the price though , they do get cheaper when they offer discounts . Though its not very often. Keep in mind though , that 58hp is adjustable . I.E boost controller , smaller pulley wheels , and the kit for the 4.0 HO puts out even more power . My dream is a Hesco stroker 4.0 and an Avenger Supercharger . Just sounds good in my ears. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sounds good in my ears. :yes: Keep dreaming mate, and I hope your dreams come true. :cheers: I'm glad I got my Hesco engine before the prices went through the roof, but their basic stroker is very adaptable and responds well to bolt-on options (intake, headers, manifolds, chips, AW4 mods, etc.) that are a far more economical way to gain more HP/Torque than the Avenger. I'm happy w. what I have, but I sure wouldn't turn down that blower if it fell in my lap somehow. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
