Huh... I'll have to ask about this. It seems unlikely that it was accidentally left off. Now that I think about it more, I bet that bracket turned out to be unnecessary. The brackets on the down pipe probably provide plenty of support for the turbo.Originally Posted by ducatidesmo
I got a response on the difference. it sounds like it's a running change...
I'm soon close..now I'm having a problem with the power steering pump. I've made sure the oil up the o-ring and have the adapters in there... but.. I connected to the pump side.. and now the head of the other side is facing left or toward the engine... since this is a hi pressure line I didn't want to mess with the head unless it's ok to do so as it's torqueddown pretty good.
I guess the question that I should be asking... does anyone have an image of thier power steering box that i could reference after install?
Alright,
went scouring through the archives and found an image of your install, Pickles:
This is what mine looks like
You see how when one side is facing up the other is as well. If I align it to do one side face down and the other face up, I get a loop in the line.
That does look like a problemThis is what mine looks like
The fittings on the ends of your hose look like it may be possible to loosen, rotate, then re-tighten? Hard to tell from just looking at a picture. That hose/fitting is different than what I have. Definitely contact Prodigy about that to find out if they can recommend a way to adjust the orientation of the fittings, or if you need a replacement.
everything is on... wanna start... can't start... looking at a few things .. exhaust not fitting like I would like.. everything bolts up but... can't bolt on the passenger head... thingie pipe.. (so weird this thing doesn't have headers) and the down pipe is touching the coolant hose.
Always fun..
welcome suggestions as always, but will continue on it tomorrow
where is pickles? he should have the answers on this. That guys toothbrush has a turbo on it.
Hey JL,
Been working with Pickles the entire time. Have it on and running for a bit. had a leak because I am a dummy and forgot to tighten the trans cooler.... BDA... Was FAST with the stock wheels, now just back to "Jeep Fast" with 37's and the stock gear ratio (3.73 for me). Next up is BRAKES then regear.
my down pipe is pretty darn close to the heater pipe no matter what I did, so I ended up getting heat shielding and I've been fine. Pickles and I now share an issue. Hesitation on, what feels like when the jeep goes from vacuum into boost. Rich condition, it appears to be.
what 37s are they? and is it a rubi?
Rubi with MT/Rs
Just had an interesting conversation at my local 4x4 shop. In not so many words, the shop foreman thought I was idiotic to go with a turbo instead of a supercharger. His thinking (because he has a turbo car) is that there is nothing until I go into boost... sure... if I was spooling up at 4000 rpm. I spool up about 2500... which will be right where the rpms are in 4wd LOW and 4:88.. Was actually kinda irritating. Always fun. Yes conventional wisdom, Roots/screw supercharger for low torque turbo up hi, I think that is going away.
