UPDATE: I have had the supercharger now about 31/2 months. The only issue was a bad original 02 sensor. I changed that. I'm running about 17.8mpg daily driving around town and highway. this kit has been a really fun add on. The next project is a true cold air intake with a outside intake source unit before summer with a cryo cooling ring on the super charger.
I have a 2004 WJ 4x4 3.73s with the 4.0L. I get 18 MPG and apparently that's high MPG for this engine. No one ever believes me, but I can probbaly squeeze 22 MPG. So if you're getting 17.8 that's great. You're not obligated to 93 octane but it's damn fuel efficient. 😉👌 Who did you get the stroker you mentioned that was going in later?
Update: Had the kit now about 10.5 months. No mechanical issues except the bad 02 sensors that needed replaced anyway. I re-engineered my air intake. I added a direct intake from the out side through the hood. Changed the filter from open filter to a enclosed moisture shield type that has a front feed intake hose that pulls fresh air directly from the outside. This lowered my intake temp down to about 115° on 98° days so that's pretty good over all on hit sumer days in the morning when it's cooler it runs about 88° and has added alot more power as well. I love it need new fucking rear tires now. But so far so good.
Hi Frank, Everything has been pretty smooth up to the last couple days I had a 02 sensor go out which I'm not surprised its an original one from when the Jeep was new gonna be fun getting this thing out. My gas mileage is around 11mpg the last month. I was running 11-13 prior to the supercharger install. Now that the 02 sensor is on the fritz my milage could have been skewed prior to any way so I'm going to replace all 3 this weekend and see how the mpg do afterwards. The biggest issue I have is that when you have a manual transmission and you pull through the gears and the supercharger comes online and boost up it really sounds just freaking amazing especially if you have a decent aftermarket exhaust. It is a struggle to keep the boost gauge in vacuum. I know the novelty is still there now, but the Jeep is really alot more enjoyable to drive now. there is no lag in power, I don't hate driving on the highway anymore for lack of high end pull. I am just really happy with my purchase. My kit with install was around $3867.00 that includes a $200.00 extended warranty on the supercharger.
+Tyi Sloan Wow yeah I understand the problem with the constant uphill struggle on power its no fun when semi trucks pass you up. This is something I am really interested in and cant wait to get to this point on my build. Thanks for all the info and Hope to see some more vids of your rig.
I like the sound of “3rd gear is a monster”… I’m always saying I wish I had a 3.5 gear here in the mountains of NC. Mine is the 4cyl running 31s so that accounts for some of it. Still love it nonetheless
I had the same ticking from my lifters. I used sea foam in the crank case for about 30 miles then did an oil change. Haven’t heard a tick since. Hope this helps.
The only issues so far I have ran into is had to replace the factory 02 sensors @119k it was time anyway. It runs real good Im planning of cutting the hood to raise the intake filter outside the engine compartment to keep the heat sink down before it gets to hot.
Nice, the tick sound most likely to be the oil pump once the engine is cold and the oil is cold the oil pump struggle to push the oil. Once it’s warm it will work fine
I have a supercharger on my for about a year love it. A little advice the split second tune is not waterproof move it to the inside and get a good air fuel ratio gauge
@@abdubitar960 runs great very dependable and when I want to pass I can pulls hill no problem the check engine light only comes on when there is a problem
Ive heard that tiny tick to be a valve lifter. They work off oil pressure. Maybe a little junky oil inside the lifter or passage ways? (than goes away after warm up) Try seafoam before changing out the oil see if that helps.
Would love to install one in my jeep, but I'm not so sure on the hood clearance to the super charger. I don't have the same style as yours I have an 03 Laredo. And been having tons of trouble finding videos to the 2003 year Laredos with the 4.0. They are nice models and can be real nice if fixed up. The motor is no different than yours it's also a 4.0. Still running strong at 235,000 miles.
Hi Tyi Sloan, I was wondering how you like your Jeep so far? I have an 02 TJ 4.0 just like yours, same color too. I was wondering if having a supercharger on it now for about 6 months had any negative impact on the Jeep. THANK YOU!
Qassem McQue Runs great now. had a issue with my 02 sensors about 4 months into it they were all factory sensors so they were ready to be changed. The latest issue was a clogged down stream cat. Cut it out and now that damn thing runs awesome. World of difference. It's like night and day with a opened up exhaust. And understand all mechanical parts are stock except for the supercharger and exhaust now. So you can expect some slight kinks with your sensors. I should have changed them out prior to install but I was excited to get it installed. other than that it's awesome to drive. Now with that opened up exhaust and supercharger whine under throttle it's pretty rad.
frank c to date I have about 4300ish invested in the kit and exhaust and new 02 sensors. Fuel savings have been actually very good. I use to fill up every 4-5 day going 31 miles round trip for work. Now I fill up once every 10-12 days according to how much I play around on the road with it.
Could you give some information on how to contact the dealer to purchase one like yours? Planning on installing one on my 04 Rubi but am uncertain on what brand to use. Like what you’ve shown here and would like to look into it more closely.
I have a Ken Bell supercharger on my 04 Rubicon. Had it put in at least 10 years ago. Has a 5 lb boost. Still works great...but I rarely get to drive the jeep because I work overseas. Jeep only has 48,000 miles on it.
Sweet i just installed a supercharger from Sprintex on my TJ 4.0L , i have the Split Sec plug in play kit but no one around my way knows how to tune with it . Did you tune it yourself ?
Man Tyi where did you get that kit I'm looking at a supercharger from ebay but it does not show that split second fuel computer?? and what fuel do you run leaded or unleaded??
What a jerk off , he makes a video like this but doesn’t include links to the kit supplier …but after your comment asking where he bought the kit at he leaves a comment that he sold the Jeep and bought a Toyota …
Francisco Heredia , I love it. the worst part is trying not to hammer the throttle driving. Minor issues with old 02 sensors that needed changed. fuel economy is better IF you can control yourself. The kit is from Jon Bond Performance great guy to work with. Lot's of help with install questions. it was really easy to install.
About 58 to the wheels. Now I this is on a very light modded engine. No internal mods. I bought it and slapped it on this motor to play with the tuning before it goes on my 4.5 stroker. Now with the new engine and a smaller pulley and a re tune. The shop installing it are rating it at around 531 total out put. This is a 4.5 stroker kit moderately aggressive cam and worked heads and bigger injectors and throttle body. This motor is strictly for tunning the kit and getting to know the split second fuel tuning parameters on my laptop.
Funny how he says tick goes away 3 minutes into warm-up but yet the jeeps at full operating temp ..... butty the tick does not go away you're talking nonsense for What? Embarrassed? Don't be it's a jeep

Tyi Sloan can you upload a more recent video? I love your set up! I'm planning on getting one on my tj 😀
Yeah I have to put on a blow by catch can on the CCV valve to the Supercharger l will record one then and post it.
Thank you for all the comments. Thank you for checking the videos out. I have sold the Jeep and moved on to a 4Runner TRD OffRoad Premium

I have an Eaton M90, for anyone interested. I believe that's the style used here. Don't need it any more.
You still have the Eaton?

My 4.7l stroker is going in my 2000xj right now. I think I'd love this to add on to it lol
Been thinking of doing the same thing. If you’ve done it already, how do you like it?
Would love to install one in my jeep, but I'm not so sure on the hood clearance to the super charger. I don't have the same style as yours I have an 03 Laredo.

hows the gas mileage now? Thanks for the vid .
Tick can be spark plug wires or spark plug, plugs on the 4.0 should be changed every 15k
Why did you go with a SC over a turbo? What kind of MPG loss or gain?
Easier to run without cooler

Seafoam in the crank case for that lifter tick.. trust me.
What gear ratio and size tires are you running. I’m thinking about getting one with 33s 3.73 Ratio. How is it running so far now
hows the gas mileage now? and if you dont mind informing us on how much you spent on everything supercharger wise. Thanks for the vid .

What are you doing with this motor when you put in new engine
I have a 4 banger and would like an engine swap
6 cylinder?
Could you give some information on how to contact the dealer to purchase one like yours? Planning on installing one on my 04 Rubi but am uncertain on what brand to use. Like what you’ve shown here and would like to look into it more closely.

Sweet i just installed a supercharger from Sprintex on my TJ 4.0L , i have the Split Sec plug in play kit but no one around my way knows how to tune with it . Did you tune it yourself ?
Call Split Sec They will help you out.
Do they still make this kit?
On that (split second) did you do the mapping adjustment’s ?
No Done by Split Sec
Please post more xj videos
Do you still have the tj?
No hemi on top of it?
Any update is it reliable?
Man Tyi where did you get that kit I'm looking at a supercharger from ebay but it does not show that split second fuel computer??
and what fuel do you run leaded or unleaded??
Jon Bond Performance
93 Octane Only
Wasn't leaded fuel made obsolete in the 60s?
Lifter tick?
Went on the job bond performance website to check it out, what brand supercharger did they build for you?
It's actually JON Bond.
Eaton style
Where did you get the camp wrap for the head unit and the speaker
Did it myself with pain pens
I went to there website and they don't have a super charger for my 97 Wrangler 4.0 :( only 2000 and up. Oh well.
Look at boosted technology they have super chargers for the early 97-98 tj’s
First gear is soooooo short even on a stock motor but it is so torquey I feel like.i can get anything off the line
Hey man.. I really love this setup and I gotta know where you got your parts.. if you can lead me in a direction that would be much appreciated 🙂
What a jerk off , he makes a video like this but doesn’t include links to the kit supplier …but after your comment asking where he bought the kit at he leaves a comment that he sold the Jeep and bought a Toyota …
Will 35s fit on a 4 inch lift cause that what im thinking of doing
Yes. I have 35s on my 4" lift TJ
0-60?
Where did you get the supercharger from?
Jon Bond Perfermance
We're can I get this kit brother ???
Jon Bond Performance Use to carry this. Im not sure they still do.
What gears are you running?
DeadValorProductions 3:73
Hi
any updates on how you like it? what kit is it ?

The kit is from Jon Bond Performance great guy to work with. Lot's of help with install questions. it was really easy to install.
how much hp did you gain ?
About 58 to the wheels. Now I this is on a very light modded engine. No internal mods. I bought it and slapped it on this motor to play with the tuning before it goes on my 4.5 stroker.

Doesn't the 4.0 only have one head though?
cool
Heads?

"....5th gear", he says. LuLz
Is your jeep 2.5 liter or 4.0?
victor durzo 4.0
ok thx
To much heat on 7 psi and you only will see 170 whp...but over 180f IAT.
Lol has a slight tick starts nocking like hell
585 hp ? ? ?
I would believe 375 maybe . . . . .
Stroked 4.0 stage 2 are 450hp out of the crate with no forced induction. Just gotta know where to have your motor built. Money talks.
@@tsloan1283 you believe that?? Come on
@@scavenom2008 it's perfectly believable...
Funny how he says tick goes away 3 minutes into warm-up but yet the jeeps at full operating temp ..... butty the tick does not go away you're talking nonsense for What? Embarrassed? Don't be it's a jeep
