Turbo on a Jeep
I recently heard someone say they put a turbo on a Jeep. Is that something
done very often and if you have done it what performance boost is there
i.e. city driving or highway driving.
What are the possible downsides to that?

Re: Turbo on a Jeep
That would be "2 Fast" and "2 Furious"!
Actually I do know someone who wanted to do it to a 4 banger... but I don't
think there is any practical purpose to it in a Jeep (off road).

Re: Turbo on a Jeep
A turbo doesn't kick in until there is some exhaust velocity (at the higher
rpm band). On a Jeep, you need all your torque at the low end. There are
several brands of belt driven superchargers that will give you a much better
torque curve for the way Jeeps are driven than a turbo.

Re: Turbo on a Jeep
I think the one that I heard it put on was a four cylindar and not all Jeeps
are driven off road.
My CJ tries to get stuck in mud up to the doors but most of the time I'm
driving it to work on the highway - call me crazy but I drive my 21 year old
Jeep everyday. (er-except when the radiator is out or something)
