The 4.0 OHV V6. I just to have fun with it, it's already kind of quick when it's decent out, but i want more. I don't plan on running more than 5 psi. I've done my research, it can run around 5 psi all day no problem with the factory specs. I've seen plenty of DIY builds with some sketchy work that lasts. Wastegate pressure on the turbo shouldn't run a bunch of PSI, and if it does i'll buy a controller and run it lower. I'm on a budget, and i'm going to talk to a local shop on a price-tag to get the truck looked over and running right after i get it turbo'd.
And by flipping manifolds, i mean both. drive to passenger and vice-versa, i kinda of want the exhaust out the bumper, but it all depends. If all fails, I have a back-up car to drive until i can either rebuild the 4.0, or get a swap ready. I know it does have some slight play back and forth, but like i said, it's not going to be working very hard, and rebuild kits are fairly inexpensive. Edit-- There's a lot of turbo builds with these motors, In Georgia there's a shop that will build and tune the motor to withstand 20+ psi, even twin turbo anywhere from $4,000 to $6,500..I can't save that much soon enough to get it done before i die. |
