Warm day.

Had some time and made some progress. The lowered boost pressure along with reduced timing made the jeep much more drivable. Was able to build the exhaust, swap the carb and do some testing.



Seems the new carb might struggle more with the float and fuel pressure than the old. Not sure if I can figure out a work around or if I need more pressure. Might be a losing circle. Thinking of leaving it alone and investigating a dial-a-jet setup. Still need to fab a better turbo mount, hanging it of the pipe id fine for road testing but we need to get out in the woods and bang around some.

  1. This looks like a good link on how to set up a blow-through turbo setup, like you've got:

    One thing it said that was a really good idea, although expensive, is to use a throttle body injection setup and an electronic controller... Would work well, but it'd cost ya! Congratz on getting this far, and good luck with it!
