I Supercharged My 4cyl Jeep For Under $1000 And You Can Too!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- I Supercharged my slow 4cyl Jeep YJ using junkyard and hardware store parts. The entire project cost less than $1,000. Over the course of 2 months we mounted the Eaton M62 supercharger and intercooler, bent custom PVC pipe, and developed an Arduino fuel/bypass controller. After 3 days of street tuning we took the Jeep to Moab UT and completed 3 days of hard wheeling. The plan is to provide a step by step instructional series for you to follow so you can give your 4cyl the power it deserves!

"we didn't buy a 4 cylinder jeep because we got some hedge fund backing it" LOL!!!!!!!!
Right On! I worked hard my whole life n now in retirement having bought 95 yj I'm enjoying the Jeep life and a fun project. Any build tips would be greatly appreciated
Bro, this is amazing. Please keep the DIY supercharger series going, Im planning on doing this when all the videos are out.
You deserve so much praise for doing this!
cheers and thanks for the great content!
Make a 4 cylinder supercharged t-shirt shirt. I will buy one!
Good to know, I was considering it.
Here I go down the rabbit hole of wanting to turbo my 4.0 🙃
ehhh.whats up doc?
I go there. I come back. I go there. I come back...
@@joshuaatkins5197 Same 😂
Pvc is actually a good idea. All that metal pipe holds heat which makes the air hotter. Sure plastic holds some heat but hey. Cool build man. Respect for doing research and building your own kit
This is too underrated! More eyes need on this, excellent work Jeep Sheep!
Appreciate what you're doing for the man
Okay. You sold me on this. Just acquired a 95 YJ with no AC, no PS and I love it except it being gutless. In the future, I will be doing a LS swap on it but this will get me by.
Cool project! Looking forward to the build!!
Really cool stuff , enjoyed the video ! Great solutions and problems solving skills. Want to see what you come up with next . Keep up the good work
Yes looks like I'll be right behind you on this
Thank You for doing this, I'm going to start my biggest project yet on my 95 YJ this summer, Inspired by you.
I'm doing a build on my 95 yj this winter. My buddy says go with a turbo on the 2l 4cyl. Curious what you've done/run into on your build
Super proud of you!!! You did it!! You went and did it!! Cant wait for the controller video. Dont know if you remember me but I put a AMR super charger on my 5 speed XJ 2.5 and changed the pulley for more compression. I played with the resistance on the iac to trick the computer to add fuel but only works for a few seconds before it leans out.Mines a 5 speed so works great till I hit 5th and then leans out. Cant wait to see what you do for the controller. Keep up the great work! I also tried different resistors on the af sensor to try and trick it but is not responsive enough. It works but major lag on and off. As always you got my like and notifications is on.
I remember you lol. You always have some interesting comments. I think the Arduino will help you a lot.
I’ve done 3 Jeep swaps and I’ll tell you, if I could swap a 6 in for $1000 bucks I’d do it tomorrow! A good 4.0 engine ready to run is about $900 and a AX15 is about $700. Now figure all the other components. Transfer case input, exhaust, radiator, wire harness, computer, drive shafts, motor mounts Ect. Ect. Moral of the story is you’re looking at closer to $4000 to do it right and make it dependable.
I kinda figured that but I've never done it. Thanks for the breakdown it certainly helps solidify the importance of this project.
@@JeepSheepTV You bet! Thank you for all the knowledge you share! Very informative and helpful!
You are one cool dude. 2.5 95 YJ. Fellow Metro-Detroiter💪🏻💪🏻
Stop by sometime!
We may have to arrange a jeep meet than because I'm also metro detroit
@@petergosinski3967 That would be amazing! if you guys are on Instagram send me a message and I'll make a group chat jeep.sheep. If not send me an email at jeepsheeptv@gmail.com
95 yj Chicagoland checking in!
I do have ac on my 97 tj 4cyl 5speed. It definitely takes up some power but it's not as bad as everyone says.
I'm looking at one to buy. I thought the seller had it added aftermarket.
I was just thinking of adding a whole ac system to my 97’ tj 4cyl. Never did I consider power loss 😭 it already does o k a y ok on the freeway and steep hills. Maybe I take on this super charger build 🧐
it gets bad the moment you add 15x10's on 33x12.5 even regear on a dana 44 in the rear..lol.. my set up un my 4cyl tj.
@@rickolivasone4790 I'm running 31x10s lol with the stock 4.10 gears. I can still do 65 to 70mph on the interstate but that's around 2850 to 3000rpm. I also had a yj on 33x12.50s with the stock 4.10 gears. That one is a complete dog and barley does 65 on a downhill lol
@@kyfiss9176 I'm lucky if I get to hit 60, my rig is slow.
great sense of humour... refreshing
I've been waiting for this video for so longgggg
Same
OMG this was great. Just got a 4 popper TJ and I this will for sure be the first major project! Thank you so much for making this content!
going to start this upgrade with my son and his buddy on my 98 TJ build.
We are starting with a 97 motor, 99 ax5, a 2002 NV231 with megashort SYE kit, 4 inch lift, 37x12.5 truxs m/t, axles are HP44 front with Ox locker, and Ford 9 inch rear locked with ARB, running 5.13 gears.
We were thinking of doing a 3.6L out of a s-10, but building up the 2.5 liter sounds like more fun really in the long run it is a wheeling rig and not a daily driver (anymore that is the gladiators job now).
Thanks for doing up these videos will be a great base/starting point.
I love it. I've had a Toyota Clutched S/C I want to hook up to my 2.5 TJ for some time now. Though CA smog means I would have to take it off and put it back every 2 years.
A few guys have talked about that on here. With the clutch maybe you can run it with the SC turned off and it might pass.
@@JeepSheepTV With the "right" Smog tech MAaaybe. IT will instantly fail a visual just sitting there. And the knowledge need to be a smog tech, He might not believe it is for onboard air lol
I might try it one day, it IS on the list.
I'm picking up a 01 Dakota next weekend!
2.5/nv3550 2wd, 8.25- 3.55.
Also have another 2.5 that's been bored and a cam from Bullet Cams here near me. (Just gotta put together)
Awesome video!!
Mine is vee belt and carbureted...
Yes, I took the TBI off and pulled the ecu and put a Weber 32/36 and duraspark ignition in...
80 mph in 5th on 33's and 17mpg...
Nice. Not bad. I have an 88 Comanche 4.0 5 speed. I get 17-20 mpg around 85 mph. I'm on 31s. All else stock 100%.
Duraspark, isn't that Ford? How?
Damn bro I’m getting excited might just call in sick today
Go for it, I won't tell
I just love watching this after having bought my 6 cylinder 🍿
I've been rebuilding a 2.5l 94 yj for the past year and a half. I've done many modifications to include a stroker kit and cam, I'm currently installing the microsquirt from megasquirt. It has been a pain but I'm finally on the right track, If you ever plan on installing one I can give you info to make the install go smoother. also great video i also plan on supercharging in the future so I can't wait to see the upcoming videos.
I have been looking into doing a stroked 2.5 with a Ford 351 Cleveland head adapted to it. Where did you get the stroker kit from?
Bro your channel is going to BLOW up I think the price in our cars might even go higher because of this
Fellow Detroit Jeeper! Hell yeah! Don't tempt me to Supercharge my TJ haha
I know you want to lol
I swapped a mopar a4 4 cylinder midget engine into my cj3b. 375+ hp and only 2330lbs. That's hellcat weight to power ratio. No cam because values ran off crank. Fuel pump runs off crank. Needed custom harmonic balancer for fuel pump and alternator. 2.0T jeep engine is awesome choice too.
I just looked up midget engines, and now I think they are super cool!
Liam, this is an amzing idea, & your YJ sure scoots! I came across your channel through Gone GPN which I found trying to find more Pewe Jeep content. Loving Gone GPN, & the podcast, & now I have your channel to scour through. I really need a CJ or Flattie in my life, but budget will likely dictate that it will be a YJ so doing my homework now. Here is to hoping you decide to tackle this project with the I6! I would happily delete my AC as well as cut a hole in the hood to a $1k DIY supercharged I6 YJ! Just the thought gives me chills. Anyways keep up the great work!
You can find videos of people supercharging the I6 with M90s from a Thunderbird. Those videos combined with some of my tricks for tuning (coming soon) should work nicely. I am glad you found me and Gone-Gpn!
other stuff to consider for a 6 cyl swap, new motor mounts, new tcase input shaft, new clutch set up etc
By the time you spend the money to swap in a 4.0l you would have been better off selling the 4 and buying a 6 for the moderate gains. Tossing in a v8 or supercharging the 2.5l like this video is pretty good value though
My 2.5 --> 4.0 swap cost approximately $1200 running and driving. Also went to automatic transmission at the same time.
Would the OEM 5sp not work?
@@whahahajr Correct, the Ax5 wouldn't hold up. Had a 32RH with the parts vehicle I bought.
Hey man could you send me your build list I would appreciate it
I'm invested in this. Can't wait to see the next videos! I need more power from my 4 squirrels when playing in the dunes.
Great project! I will check the rest of the videos out. Im interested in seeing how this turned out! I have a 2.5 I want to get a little more out of but do not want to swap engines. This is a great alternative. Thank you for the video and I am now subscribed.
As a half Century Jeeper, they do well stock. Some more than others. I generally avoid the 4 cyl. Because every drivetrain part is weaker than it 4.0 counter part. More power and big tires mean you better adjust your finesse or your tax bracket. That said, have fun with what you have and go straight for the 1 ton Chev parts every chance because that's the direction most end up going. 37s aren't even big anymore and more power and tire is where it's at.
Looking forward to doing this with your help! :)
Cool project!
If you size your turbo correctly you can get the boost to come in at low rpm.
If the mods don't cost more than the car thats when you should be worried. 10 years ago a 4.6 new edge mustang would cost about 3 grand, and a supercharger kit, tune and support mods cost the same as 2 new edge mustangs. That's cheap speed. That's how it should be. I'm definitely a fan of budget mods too. Great video.
For about 1500 you can by the neon srt4 engine, with wire harness. Same motor mount position.Huge improvement of power.
Can you use the same transmission? Is the bellhousing bolt pattern the same? I think they used that engine (not the srt version) in late model TJs
Thanks for documenting this build
Can't wait.. I'm so stoked on this....
Man you are a true genius, i like the way you solve things. I am looking for mercedes superchargers now🤣
Can’t wait for the next video
Awesome explanation! I'm trying to supercharge my 4 cyl Nissan frontier. basic idea is there and should work anyways. Thanks!
I'm definitely going to try this project within the next 3 weeks I think it's awesome
Dude pretty intelligent, I got a 93 yj thinking about doing this
My only comment you are a good teacher
How about a 2018 grand cherokee 3.6
Just subscriber. Totally solid information. I'm trying to save up to buy a Jeep. Had rejected the 2.5L until I realized how much lighter weight it is.
505 performance has the forged internals necessary for running a greater amount of charge/boost. They even have a stroker kit for the 2.5. The stroker kit with all the bells and whistles is around $2400😮. If that price isn't enough of a disappointment get ready for this, naturally aspirated a stroked 2.5L will make about the same power as a stock 4.0
Hell yeah
Gracias muy entendible. Creo que lo tengo que intentar con mi yj 1989
Well done I'm using m24 on Hyundai coupe not going mad but spins 18000 rpm from vw only one I can fit under hood
Thank you Liam. Not going to do this to my 2.5 L, 4 cyl 1995 YJ unless I can hire you for the job. However, I really like what your doing and if I didn’t order a Bronco I think I’d give it a go. I’ll let you know when the Bronco arrives.
I'm excited to hear what you think of the Bronco! Maybe once I've perfected the kit I'll put one on for you. I'm thinking of I did it again I might be able to do it for $700-800.
@@JeepSheepTV Thank you Liam! Sounds good.
I ordered the 2.7 V6, 10 speed auto transmission, 4Dr., roof racks, washable rubber floors with pop out floor pan covers, back up camera, navigation system and all the basic do dads. These are full frame Broncos built on the Ford Ranger frame. I’ll send you a photo when it comes in. Hope the chip shortage doesn’t effect the build as it’s been a long wait.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BROTHER!!! YOU'RE BRIGHT.
Just subscribed I love this! I have a 98 2.5 that needzzz more power. I must start searching for a supercharger.
That’s awesome dude. I’m highly tempted to start looking for the same super charger for my Jeep. I can’t wait to see future vids!
I really like the way you narrate, subscribed.
This is awesome! Keep it going!
Man. I wish I saw this before buying a turbo kit. I love superchargers.
Do both! No lag
Funniest part of the video 14:36 haha man great informational video even the ending haha no ads hahah
Your about to be my favorite RUclipsr
Well done...nice work!
im very excited for this build keep up the good work
This is one of my favorite RUclips channels!
I have a 94 yj with a 2.5 that I have convinced a few guys that it is a Cummins 4BT because of the rod knock, valve chatter and injector noise. 😆
Now I want to rebuild it and supercharger it!
Yay!
Mine sounds like a diesel sometimes. I get some funny looks. Lol
Quick question for everybody, I’m rebuilding my first engine. It’s a 2.5, and looking to give it more power. I feel like following this project and adding a supercharger is the way to go. I have the engine completely torn apart already. Should I upgrade or change any of the components on the engine? Or continue rebuilding it to its normal specifications
I just started doing the same thing. Any suggestions. Like boar size, pistons. Anything. Thank you
@@donkeycrockbore
you are my hero no cap
Great video, would love to do this!
This is soo cool man, keep it up!
Fuck yea dude I'm excited about this!
I am going to do this. I am looking at used supercharger units on Ebay. What years of Mercedes C230/SLK230 do I want? It looks like the intake and output on these things vary from year to year.
I have some images explaining this in the community tab on my channel page.
I wonder if this could be figured out with the 2.4 as well, then you can throw in a cheap pt GT motor with forged internals, better compression for this, and use a supercharger instead of custom manifolds for a turbo, this is what I’m trying to figure out now. Because you could retain the PT GT intercooler and just put a bracket in pushing your radiator back 2 inches since they use an E fan.
That is a cool idea
@@JeepSheepTV I might give what you did a try first, maybe I can cut out a bit of it with the turbo stuff who knows, cheap enough for me to check it, you definitely put me in a better direction for my build
@@drewfarrow6466 Glad to hear and good luck!
@@drewfarrow6466
Here to see how that turns out.
I have a 90 wrangler yj jeep with a 2.5 motor please send me a parts list and and everything I need to know to do my jeep the same way, thanks and I enjoy all your videos later my friend 😊
I have parts lists in the description of each video
Could this work for a 4.0?
This is amazing and cool. I have a '97 TJ with a six but it's an automatic. I'm thinking about getting a 4 cyl. 5 spd Wrangler and doing the supercharger just for the fun factor!
I have a 1997 dodge Dakota 2.5 and I'm going to do this
Awesome! I would love to see pictures when its completed! Send to Jeepsheeptv@gmail.com
I want to do this to my 6 cyl to make it like a v8. Advise ? Thank you
Great video 👍
Good job man
✅
You should start a comedy central RUclips site.. lmfao 🤣😂😅😁
Oh this is you. Video editing has improved as well.
Hello. I'm still making it up as I go, just better at it now and I hope to be even better-er in the future.
you write you letter g like an alien like where the hell you learn it that way
so is there a way do this but keeping the air conditioning?
@a_h1pp059 yes, it's been done. The supercharger goes on top of the AC compressor
My first viewing.
Love it !
You look like your name should be Schubert. Good scientific name.
However, being in Detroit with that name, I wonder what the survivability rate would be?
So the SLK 2.3 Kompressor was made from 1996-2004. Is any year better than the other for the Jeep application?
The earlier models have the clutched m62 then they later went to the non-clutched m45. I used the m62 but a few guys are trying the m45 right now and it seems to be working for them
I wonder how similar this would be for the 2004 2.4l tj🤔
We won't know till you try it
Great vid bro! Quick question tho…. What would you recommend if I do have the AC compressor (which i want to keep since i live in AZ!)?
I have seen a guy put the supercharger on top of the AC compressor. Look up BC Cosmin here on RUclips
Great videos, thanks!
Can you do a board right up like you did on this clip but for a supercharger on a 6 cly 4.0?
Iv got a 4cyl TJ and i have a old Mercedes C230 and just found this so i know what im gonna do with it lol
good video, thanks
I really want to do this. What did you with the fueling? I'm sure you're going to need more fuel when adding more air.
We will explain all of that in future episodes.
dude you're awesome!!
Maybe you talk about this in a latter video but what about detonation? Is that what the intercooler is for? I put a turbo on a Camaro once and it was so important to have water injection.
I really like your vids! Just subscribed this afternoon. So I'm looking into the possibility of the supercharger mod, along with the 4.0 TB, injectors a header, and upgraded the distributor, plugs and wires. Doing all of that would also require re-mapping the ECM, correct? Also, to get your supercharger pumping the 5# of boost would require a smaller pulley, right?
Yea, I'll likely need a smaller pulley to get to 5lbs. And yes I do a bit of trickery with the ECM. That will come out in later videos
Can you recommend a used supercharger model for the 4.0 IL 6?
Lots of guys use the M90
Would love to attempt this,but I know it'd not end well. You should sell the complete kit
Lol sadly a kit would end up costing almost as much as the overpriced one by Boosted technologys
Can you use buick supper charger, i have some,
Anything is possible but the buick supercharger is very long and the 4cy is very short, so keep that in mind
