    To be fair, that Jeep is a bit heavier, no?

      Haha yessir..just by a little... they weigh like 4800lbs give or take some.

      But she is AWD... we will be pulling low 1.5x 60fts when she is running..

              We are actually mass producing the turbo kit to sell. Which in return will help pay for the camaro.

              Plus its winter, this is when all the good work gets done ;-)

                  me too!

                  I am hoping to visit Nickey sometime within the next 2 weeks to discuss my motor build. Hoping to get my ball rolling soon.

                    That's good to hear. That will give the rest of us something to do this winter. We'll watch you rebuild your car. A webcam would be nice.

                      Lol I can arrange that.

                      I got lazy during the dissassembly. So I might be taking the crank and cam out of the block this weekend as well as cleaning up the heads... I will include pictures

                          Took about a week to get the flanges needed to get started. But finally got em, so the welding begins.

                              And we got the intercooler mounted up. No modification to the bumper or support at all. :-)

                                BIG progress today. Charge pipe is 98% done and the only thing we have left is the down pipe and merge to the catback exhaust.

                                once again, dont want to jinx it... but as its looking now, the jeep will be started wednesday and on the rollers next weekend... Johan be ready ;-)

                                This is up-pipe and location of the wastegate. The downpipe will be routed right next to the up-pipe, so we can dump the wastegate back into the exhaust. Which means you will hear more of the sweet sweet spool of the baby turbo
