Turbo 4 Liter

The exhaust you just described is what was on it when you dyno'd it, right? Is the pre-turbo exhaust still stock then? I'd love to see a pic of the 3" exhaust where it routes over the rear axle. I had to go down to 2.5" and dent even that to get it to clear at full stuff.
OP
I have a Garrett GT3582 and a Precision PT1000 intercooler I will probably run if I can fit it.
OP
Yeah I built it that way when I put the kit on. The axle over was a challenge, but it fits. I'll grab a pic next time I'm under it. On the old engine the header and y pipe was all stock. The stroker has a Banks header and I'm planning on making a new y pipe in the future. I still have to pass inspections here though, so a cat is a must. I just passed again last week btw. Good for another year.
I was wondering if you could squeeze in an intercooler with the in and out on the same side, by my measurements it looked really close but possible. I am excited to see you make it work!
OP
Obligatory pre-install engine stand pics.
OP
What kinda head is that on the shelf?
Viper
OP
It is up and running. I did a cam break in this morning. Tomorrow I'm going to tighten up the exhaust clamps set the timing and take it for a drive.
OP
It's a mild Russ spec cam. .507 lift and 213 duration and 113 lsa. I can send you the cam card if you want.
OP
Yeah, so I might have purchased a LJ. I'm thinking the plan will be to swap the parts from the TJ build to the LJ with some changes as well. I think I may do a mid-arm and likely a Dana 60 in the rear. I'm still planning on doing the 6R80 and the Atlas so no change there. I do wish I would have waited to swap the engine by a week or two.

Just think of the motor swap as practice for the big show! Hard to regret an LJ.
OP
The stroker suffered some damage yesterday. I took the Jeep to Northwest OHV for some trail riding and light crawling. I drove it there about an hour and rode trails for another three hours or so. It was running perfectly. Coolant temp and oil pressure were good. Then it started clicking. The clicking turned into a light knock and squeak and finally an all out knock. Now it doesn't even really want to idle. I snatched it up with the trailer and towed it home. I'm going to pull the pan tomorrow, but the damage seems evident.
Hi Jezza, I’m interested in your 2000 TJ that you have listed. Can you PM me? I can’t seem to reply to the post due to a permissions issue and I’m not able to PM you either. My apologies for dropping this here.
Noooooooo!! That obviously doesn't sound good. Who did the bottom end assembly? What kind of oil pressure does it have after the noise started?
OP
I had a local shop here do it. It still has 60 when cold 40 hot. It's still on the break-in Brad Penn 30 weight.
