85 CJ
Cut down ford 9" rear.
t5 5spd
6 puck ceramic clutch.

This is my bros jeep he is working on. 95-97 2.3L ranger motor with forged internals tuned with SCT. Will be running in a couple days. We are going to use our stand alone motor harness. Asking him he says this setup is easier than running a carburetor. there are 3 wires ground wire, always hot wire and hot when key is on wire. Then the OBD2 port ;)

This motor is fitted with 88 T/C pistons and rods hasting rings, head studs, arp rod bolts & 1035 HG. T3 turbo. Boost is going to start at 7PSI. He has a 255LPH FP 60LB injectors and 90MM MAF meter. The jeep will be about 2300lb's he plans to go up to 25PSI and 350 RWHP and do a few passes this next year. Should be some fun!

Using our stand alone kit, this is where it plugs in at. http://www.turborangerforums.com/showthread.php?t=405

The intake is a little different than my intake. If you look you can see it's a 2 piece intake, the top is held on with studs.

Jeep will be on the road this weekend, we hope so!

Hood prop on a Wrangler? Who needs one! I've always put the hood exactly like you have it any time I've worked on one.

Looks good! Should be a fun ride.

2.5" It's not big. He set it up to make mid to low end power so he did not go overkill on size.

How hard was the motor to bolt in? What'd he use for the trans/xfer-case?

How does it handle over obstacles? Knowing sometimes you have to crawl over things slowly, does it disappoint in low range?
