These budget boost builds are the shit! Im surprised this channel hasn't taken off way more. It really should. This type of shit is right up my alley. 👍
it's youtubes stupid algorithm crap wants me to watch cartels at the boarder or some stupid stuff i've never even searched or am interested in, i literally look up mechanic stuff or video games
Yeah its screw the name Brand lets sale product ….its lets make this shit work and show the poor folks they can experience turbo love too….fuck it !!! FULLL SEND THAT SHIT!!! OK..HOLD MY BEER WATCH THIS SHIT!!!!!!!
Needed parts for my 97 XJ. Every part store I went to a guy had a story of a XJ driving w a rod or inspection hole in the block and made it home. Absolute beasts. Not the renix!! Gota be the 4.0HO
I need some homies that'll embrace beating on a stock everything, budget boost vehicle without a boost gauge or wideband. Y'all seem like a party. Also really inspiring me to grab a HF flux core and send it on anything that needs hotsnotted. Happy I stumbled across you dudes.
@@ihulk1 @ihulk1 Okay, well this wildly coincidental. What are you running for engine management and how's it treating you? I know there's speeduino and beermoney/rusefi on the bargain end but there's not a ton of documentation out there on the VVT motors that I could find. And ms3 is too doggone expensive for me to justify. You running a reroute? TELL ME MORE MAN! Are you on IG? It's easier to flood you with dumb questions there than youtube comments lol.
Drive one. Even stock they scoot for what they are. Puts garbage ass side by sides to shame that’s for sure, I own a jeep and have ran many SxS. Jeep less than 10k, side by sides that can go where a jeep can cost 50k plus and run 5000 miles before needing rebuilt.
Those transmissions were not known for being very strong, so you may want to consider upgrading to an AX15 later on if you plan to keep the boost up at all.
I hope your channel blows up, love these budget turbo builds. Videos keep getting better. Can you put your builds in a playlist for each car, I want to watch a build but I have to sort through tons of videos to find the next update
I would have went with a smaller turbo, looks like fun i did this almost 20 years ago in a Civic I used a junkyard turbo and welded it up ran my own charp pipes using radiator hoses with an intercooler out of a stock GST, back in those days it was unheard of was running about 8lbs of boost it was awesome this brought back memories, I gave a lot of V8's hell back then 😅
Videos like this one (turbo budget builds) are your bread and butter , not many others are doing it at least not on this level. Kind of like when VGG basically created the 'will it drive' genre on YT, and Will is straight up YT gold ! You have all the ingredients to hit well over 100k Subs. Would love to see a budget turbo build on a classic car carburetor setup something like my AMC Hornet small block .304. Also Rumble is taking off big time is not as saturated as YT and you can easily like the 2 channels.🔥🔥🔥
Very cool. I did tons of work and mods over the years, and never had a welder. Bought a Yes Welder that does Flux, MIG, TIG, stick. Everything got easier after that. No more bolting plates of metal together to make brackets and other stupid crap. Well worth the investment.
I love the fact that y’all used a flux core welder, I have the exact same one and I have done many-a remote jobs with that little thing. You guys rock!
@@discretion4362 oh it is? So exactly what qualifies it is one? Here are some of the many things that changed, The compression ratio,the combustion chamber shape, the composition of the metals used in several part’s including the block the fuel induction and management. How many amc 2.5 engines suffered the marbling noise the Chrysler tsbs covered through the 90s into the early 2000s? Yes the 2.5 was originally designed by amc engineers, but a hell of a lot changed since Chrysler acquired amc. (Note, when people refer to the 2.5 as the “iron duke” they are unwittingly referring to the gm 2.5 amc first used in amc production that shared the gm 60 degree bellhousing pattern because it was sourced from gm.) So since we’re going down this road of who first put the pencil to paper on an engineering design, we can also include every Dodge Durango, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Nitro, and Chrysler Aspen powered by the PowerTech 3.7L V-6 and 4.7L V-8 engines, both of which were designed by AMC engineers before the Chrysler purchase, but not actually put into production until after the purchase. So how many flight miles does one have to have under their belt flying back and forth to Chrysler tech centers does one need to log before they are considered educated? I have hundreds of thousands, In fact I was a certified Chrysler technician in the mid 2000s.
@@TheMajictech Arguments like this are for contrarians. Every engine undergoes multiple iterations from its original design. Compression ratio, combustion chamber shape, and metals used dont make the 2.5 in the Dakota or Jeep a completely different engine. If anything these are necessary adaptations made for efficiency when EFI became mainstreamed. By definition Chryslers acquisition of AMC makes this an AMC engine design regardless. Please stop trying to argue technicalities in a youtube comments section. Its downright cringe. Ive seen multiple 2.5's in jeeps and dakotas crest 400k and even 500k miles. This is one of the more reliable 4 cyl production engines ever made.
@@discretion4362 then by that logic it’s a Willy’s overland or a Kaiser engine. It was just changes made since they owned it. Do you even know how many times the jeep moniker was sold before amc acquired it? Nobody argued anything about the longevity of the engine, now you’re cringing about an argument with yourself snowflake. 😂
Internally gated turbos are great for setups where space is at a premium, sure you're stuck with a minimum boost of whatever the actuator is set at (controller can always turn it up but can't ever turn it down) however you can buy aftermarket billet actuators with full set of replaceable springs for 130$ or so and can set your minimum boost to whatever you want. You can do the same with a stock actuator by cutting it apart and cutting the spring/etc but pain in the ass and not worth it over just getting the billet mamba or kinguawa actuator. . . I have a Chinese GTX2860r with the kinguawa actuator on my mk1b MR2 and it works great, my particular setup is 12psi but creeps to 15, but you can put whatever spring you want in it down to 3psi or something, just something to consider don't fully write off internal wastegates just yet
For sure, We was just in a time crunch getting the video done and didn't have time to wait and order anything. We had a cheap china external gate laying around already and was the quickest fix.
Badass boosted 2.5 in that ol unit, she looks pretty good for a daily driven Jeep! Looks he's still got a healthy amt of room in that engine bay for a big V8 w with a turbo, I know its been done before but you already know its gotta be said. Hype to see more content keep killin it dudes!
Thats cool how y'all done that. The budget builds are closer to reality for most of us in the real world. Id like to do the same project on my 94 OBS Chev. I hope the best for y'all's channel and hope it takes off. Be tryin to spread the word for y'all and hopefully reach the year end goal.👍
You guys are 2 minutes from my house. I pass the shop all the time! And have watched for a decent while too. Love the videos. Been wanting to have a RU-vid channel like this
Thing is sweet. I have a turbo crown vic and previously had a turbo 5.2 ZJ so this is exactly the kind of thing Id build lol. I bet if you tossed an old walbro in the tank and an old vortech FMU on it it'd be safe at 10lbs
I installed one of these turbos on my truck and had the same problem with it making all the boost. Took it apart to find out the wastegate port in the housing is only 5/8" so I ported it to 1" and it dropped it down around 5-6psi!
Just a bunch of good old boys, educational and productive, its real content that's well filmed and explained. I have seen every episode, wish for them to come up. Cant wait for the dodge neon 5.7 liter hemi motor swap. Good job fellows
Did this to a yj years ago, small turbo from a backhoe no wastegate, c clamp on the fuel return line to bump up the fuel pressure, made awesome whistley noises but couldn't figure out how to back the timing off enough to make any power with it..
That shit is awesome, Mechanic here and i have a beast 4.0 Mud Rig, i have always dreamt of slapping a blower on it. that is so cool you guys did it. I have a good turbo i got off a mazdaspeed 3 i worked on, i might fab that to my jeep!
Having the inter cooler behind the hot radiator wouldn’t that be a interheater instead of cooler? I would assume the air going in would be cooler than the exit but still pretty cool build and love watching the budget builds for fun.
So curious about that turbo on the Jeep! Looks like the “Safari” street version. I just put that into my L28et swapped 240z and have the same train of thought about the wastegate 😅😅 not going external but looking at turbo smart IWG75
I can't believe you don't have more subs. I probably look forward to your vids more than anyone else I'm subbed to, especially these budget build vids!!
I’m telling you, buy a 96 to 98 Nissan Sentra (preferably manual), get a turbo from an Audi A4, boost the Nissan and take it rally racing 😂 (Sentras are like 1,000 on marketplace, A4 turbo brand new can be as cheap as 175-200)
If you guys buy an adjustable fuel pressure reg and even cheap walbro 255's and a wideband to take between cars you could throw some fuel into them and make them work a lot better for a lot longer.
100%, we're just trying to keep it as cheap as possible in terms of turboing it for the video. Now a 2nd video on it for sure, but no shot I'm swapping regulator and pump between builds 😅. If they show potential they'll all get they're own.
Oh I meant just swap the wideband between them all to get the fueling close lmao, Fuk swapping pumps and a reg. I should have used better punctuation lmao.@@BoostandBadHabits
I remember when auto darkening lenses came out. I used to have just the dark lenses to weld with. You can also look at solar eclipses through them. Lol
Dude!! I absolutely love your videos this is what the budget builder wants to see! So creative and awesome man just keep posting please! I’m like a groupie at this point lol no homo
I love this so much!!, Im currently in the middle of adding a turbo to my 98 tj with the 2.5l what did you guys do to get the AFR to where it needed to be? also has it blown up? lol
My girlfriend asked, is it worth it putting a turbo on a jeep I told her “no”and then you pulled the F150 and I said absolutely🤣🤣🤣. New to the channel thanks guys.
Hello again, Another question for you 1-what did you do with the line from the top-back of the valve cover that went to the air filter box 2-what did you do with with the vapor emissions line and canister 53030242? did you just plug that line? 3-what did you use for the boost gauges source did you tap into the brake assist line 4-how level do you need to keep the center of the turbo can it sit at a 3-5 degree angle until my tube bending skills get better? Sorry i am not that big of a mechanic and don't know the technical names of stuff
Mines been fine. 5lbs of boost. The thing is the boost kicks in about 2800 rpms. It rolls in gently and when you let off and shift it rolls back into boost gently. I hardly get into boost at all in town. I'd have to really be getting into it just to make it build any boost at all in 1rst gear by that time I have to get 2nd gear anyways. Quite a bit of lag. You really start rolling by the end of 3rd gear. It's a very gentle power curve.
@@3dcowboy1980 no. I didn't. I'm running a couple one way valves to bleed pressure away from the map sensor. I'd definitely run an intercooler and premium gas. I also run an adjustable wastegate. I wouldn't drive it like a race car though if you have an ax5. My turbo helps me up long steep mountain roads mostly. I didn't install it for hot roding purposes. I have well over 10k miles on my setup with no real problems. Hills I used to climb at 35 mph in 3rd I can do 60 in 5th now so there's a big difference.
This vid is perfect because I've got an old 2.5 TJ I've been rat rodding in my spare time and I'm not committed yet to put a big motor in it but this is some cheap horsepower to spice up that dog of an engine for now
It'll be fine, it's not a racecar. It gets drove to work. He didn't wanna cut up the jeep to pass piping up front. So we made it work without cutting anything. It doesnt even need an intercooler for the 5 psi it's running. It's just there to be there.
