That's a very nice Jeep, congratulations for doing such a nice job on it. Looks very clean and business-like. Do you or will you be taking into mud or rock climbing or off-roading?


As for my "project", I just upgraded the turbo, fuel system, and a couple related items on my car. I'll have to get a few pics together and post them here in the next couple days ...I just don't even have the pics off my camera yet. I've mentioned it before here, but I have a '95 Supra twin-turbo 6 speed that I got over 6 years ago; until recently it was moded very simply just to allow safe operation up to 18 psi or so and a bit higher on racegas, plus I installed adjustable coilovers all around, lowered it a little and corner weighted it for good balance, and we did a slightly more aggressive than factory spec alignment = it handles fantastic with tons of grip; I dyno'd it like that a few years ago and it put down 430rwhp/455rwtq; I drive it on the street a lot and I also like to do a few high performance driving events each year on local road courses, Pocono usually and Watkins Glen when I can get up there for a weekend; only a very few cars I've ever run up against that can out handle, brake, or accelerate my "project" My new turbo is a little larger than the stock sequential twin setup combined, basically it's a modified 61mm turbo. I haven't dyo'd yet but based on proven results with my exact setup I expect somewhat over 500rwhp at low boost and on racegas at say 28psi it will put about 630rwhp to the ground; of course I have a full upgraded fuel system, new fuel rail, larger injectors, twin in-tank pumps, an advanced fuel control computer, etc; plus I installed a wideband O2 sensor/display to keep an eye on air/fuel ratio. It's very fun to drive and I drive it every chance I get ...like to work today. If it's nice weather out, I'm driving it. I'll see if I can get some pics of my engine work in process and what it looks like now.
