Re: [Amc-list] Turbo in place of the Muffler

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

There are quite a few sites, also a guy over at Jeepstrokers.com who Tpuffed a 60K 4.0L and is playing with it on an engine dyno. He so far is in a holding pattern as he pushed that headgasket out and did some serious piston damge and at about 15psi. Nice numbers IIRC, forget xactly what they are though.
    
The bores on the engine did not get damaged and I believe he is making up his mind as to what forged pistons to go with.

I have a Garret turbo here I need to research and see if it is 4.0L compatible. IIRC it is from a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse, so I'm not sure it will work for a 4.0L. It was a low mileage warranty pull for a noise that was the same after it was replaced! Nice smooth, clean unit still. I was thinking it may be fun to try one, now that I got the stuff for a stroker to put in should the turbo lunch the 4.0L. 

Not sure I will go Turbo, but may be worth researching and thinking about.
