This is the site where I will record for posterity my attempt to install a junkyard turbocharger on my 1962 Jeep CJ 5 with the original (and freshly rebuilt) 134 F head. I do not purport to be a turbocharging expert. I have never done it before. Thinking of doing it yourself? Cool, let me know how it goes. Your application blows up, sucks to be you, just as it will suck if I blow my stuff up. Know your limits. The only failure I take responsibility for is my own.

Stalled
Little is currently happening on the wee jeep as other issues press for time. I have a well to finish hooking up, winter to get ready for and a little guy who no longer naps in the evening, making sneeking out for short chunk of work time difficult. I have to convince the wife to watch/take the kid and let me play, so far that has been hard to come by. Not that progress isn't being made. I took some measurements to confirm where I want to place the carb. With the removable base adapter it should fit nice. I would like to mount it above the turbine to save some of that heat and prevent icing. As my turbo lacks a bolting flange for the intake this means making a stand alone mount. I would have pictures for all the posts by now but the cord to the camera is missing, I think it has to do with the boy.
