Renix flywheel question?
 

I'm swapping an injected 4 liter from a 90 Cherokee into my 83 CJ7. (I
DO have ALL of the harness, injecters, computer and sensors etc. from
the Cherokee.) However the Cherokee was an AUTO trans - and my CJ7 has
a MANUAL trans --- so I need a flywheel that is compatible with the
Renix fuel injection system that the Cherokee motor (engine) uses.

(By the way - I've chosen to NOT relocate the CPS to the front of the
engine using the relocation kits from either Hesco or Advance.)

My question: In sourcing a flywheel so the CPS will function properly
must I find one from another Renix equipped Cherokee (87 - 90 only) OR
can I successfully use one from a newer Cherokee (91 or later) or one
from a 91 or later Wrangler?

Thanks

Hi Lynn,
Just a guess, but I would say without the front adapter you're
committed to using a shock flywheel, bellhousing and transmission from
the 88 to 90 Jeep Cherokee only. Just like they're separated at:

Re: Renix flywheel question?
 

I'm sorta guessing the same thing - esp as it relates to the flywheel.


There are a couple places (Novak, Advance Adapters, etc) who can / will
machine my bellhousing so the CPS will mount properly and be in the
right place to "read" the flywheel notches - but it's apparently gotta
be the correct flywheel. Later flywheels are also "read" by a CPS
mounted in the same location - but are a different system, and
therefore - alas - not compatible with my Renix based system.

The big plus is that I can then use my stock (swapped in some time ago)
T176 trans etc.

Was hopeing someone in the group had personal knowledge to confirm what
I suspect (and you sorta indicate also) that I must use a Renix (87 -
90) flywheel.

So I'll keep looking for the "right flywheel" - and I'll throw it open
to the group ....

Any body got a 87 - 90 Cherokee 4.0 flywheel (manual trans) that
they're itching to sell OR can point me to a reliable boneyard that's
got one?

Thanks

You don't want that Japanese AX-15, keep the Real Borg Warner and
buy the crank sensor.
