Interesting build thought...

[TNT]

Since you can get a Mopar 2.5 in a Dakota and they share a bellhousing wit a RWD Jeep. I have built a 2.2 with a turbo that was putting out 350hp.

 

It would make a great street toy or a nice prerunner.

 

25 pounds of boost and it would be over 400hp if not 450...

 

It could be fun.

...I have a mpfi xj sitting at home, just waiting for forged pistons, racing cam, .30 over bore, and a nice lil turbo...

And that trans would explode in about 4.3 seconds..

*sigh*

 

I have spares?

also, a newer 2.4 turbo motor would swap in and uses a much stronger trans in the rwd trim.

 

Otherwise I could wire a bunch of different 4cylinders to run on a early 90's pcm and harness. theres a lot of engine choices.

 

350hp and 25 mpg sounds pretty good to me. :brows:

A late 80's early 90's Supra with a stick would make a sick street MJ or prerunner.

Could you get an AW4 with a 2.5 bell housing to work?

Sure can

With a Dakota Bellhousing you could put an AX15 behind it.

I love that 2.2 turbo motor. If I had the time and money I'd have a mid 80's shelby charger or a GLHS with that motor. but the idea of putting one in an mj would be a sweet sleeper.

A Toyota's Supra auto is a version of a AW-4. If you had the cash a 750hp pump gas Supra engine would get the job done.
