monstaru Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 i couldn't hear you if you were screaming in my ear.......how did youknow i was looking at superchargers today:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'VE GOT TO SAY I'M WITH ANDY ON THIS ONE! Oh, you can hear me now? Anyways, that's the hawtness, but you probably want good ol' screw-type charger to keep that low-end torque. Speaking of which, 190@1400? Wow, you might want to consider a VW TDI to keep in that range. I read in Grassroots Motorsports that a guy has one in his New Beetle putting 120ish HP and 400+ ft-lbs to the ground! That would be sweet in the Willy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 By the way, twin Vortech's on a Viper Andy? Sheesh. Some people have WAY too much money for their own good. Kinda like this one: http://www.zrauto.ca/gallery_showcase_430.cfm I've seen/heard this thing first hand. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the torque numbers (and when does the peak torque happen). In a jeep torque can be more important then HP. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 those are the only ratings i could find.my search skills suck,but finnding info on a motor that is as old as the original,has proven to be harder than i thought.the torque numbers are as stated above .

monstaru Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 you are a ************in grockstar but they are pretty much the same specs i came up with already.they don't sway enough to be of concern in the process of elimination.

970subaru Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 would the ej exhaust fit between the framerails? you could do something like a ej22-welded center diff 5mt-samurai case. or even a 4eat with the duty solenoid C locked. the EJ will almost certainly save some weight over the willys motor.

monstaru Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 the gearing is in the willys is 4.88.so technically it should push it. the torque ratio is more of what i am looking at.how can i get more low end torque from the ej?at the weight difference they have,pulling the 6 and going to the ej should even out the weight pretty much.i mean ,what am i not understanding about the torque issues?can someone please educate me for ************ 's sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 already thought about it. i have an extra ej sitting around as to why i have inquired.if i have to spend that kind of money i will just get a diesel.the stock drivetrain is rather weak.once again,how do you torque it up.....? my goal is to keep everything stock accept the engine,tranny and transfer case. eg33? 230 hp and 224 ft.-lbs. torque :burnout::burnout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
