Had a few Cherokees a while back and thought about cutting the "legs" off the manifold and welding on bases to accept the Chrysler 3.5 throttle bodies. (2 of them) I just picked up a 01 Dakota with the 2.5/ax15 5spd, 8.25 rear, 3.55. You can get a "performance" cam from Bullet Cams near me (Olive branch MS) Im still watching your videos on the supercharged ones. ThNks for these!
Shoutout to my pre 91 yj bőrthers who's jeeps dont have power steering. Also, pre '90 yj's use v belts instead of a serpentine belt so you get no tensioner at all (unless maybe an additional v belt for the ac if you have it and ANOTHER additional v belt for the PS has a tensioner, i wouldnt know)
Lol Yea, this pretty much doesn't pertain to you. Unless you are upgrading to the serpentine belt, then I recommend taking parts off of a TJ. (Hence the video)
Do you know what would cause my yj 2.5l to loss power in 3rd gear and up, have to shift back down it loses so much power. Have 9 psi at fuel rail with key on, and around 31 psi running. My initial thought is to change fuel pump and filter. Just wondering ur thoughts!? Thank you
When you say 9psi with the key on, is that with the engine off? The fuel pump runs for a few seconds when the key is on then turns off if you don't start the engine. With that said I wouldn't expect there to be much pressure if the pump has run then turned off. 31 psi sounds fine when running and it should go up around 39psi if you open the throttle. A loss in power in higher gears is pretty normal for this underpowered engine. My best advise is to clean everything, valve cover (inside and out), intake manifold, throttle body, injectors, etc. Check for any vac leaks. There is a vac line that runs under the dash to the heater, those leak sometimes. Move the inlet air sensor and shift gears at like 3500-4000 rpm (or higher). One thing I noticed is that when shifting gears, often times if you shift at 3k it will drop you into 2k-2.5k rpm in the next gear where this engine has no power and it will take a long time to work its way back up to 3k+ where it makes power again.
I would think that you would want it on CCV (the big one) It seems like many of these engines have quite a bit of oil coming out of there onto the air filter
@@JeepSheepTV ccv valve is on the side of the cover with a small hole in the brass fitting and the pcv valve is in the back I’m going to try hooking up a larger diameter hose to the ccv into a catch can and then to the intake . I have no leaks Just a smell of Burt oil here there , more often when Traveling and slowing down
@@Drake621 I was thinking of the PCV then. Did you see my video about cleaning the valve cover? It helps with the oil smell on decel. They get clogged up pretty easily
I have a 90 YJ that is carbeurated with this fuel injected manifold already installed. The injector seats are plugged and it has a carb adapter. I am looking to switch it to fuel injection since the manifold is already there. What do you recommend for a standalone ecu that I can just plug the injectors in and the throttle body into without much hassle? I cant use a stock ecu because the jeep is bored and stroked to a 2.8. The the distributor timing is also already standalone too.
I don’t have a power steering pump! I gots de no power steering one, I do have a tj distributor though, which is kinda odd, I didn’t put it there, so idk why it’s there, it’s a 93 btw
@@hangrywendigo.7057my 95 has no power steering, it is just a tension bracket/pulley where the pump would normally be. Dayco 89012 pulley, just replaced it. It bolts to the intake as well.
Ahhh, another fellow Jeep junkie eh? Great video man.
Super interesting ! I was suspecting that some TJ equipement could have fit the YJ but this is a spectacular exemple that confirms it.
This intro!!!! So good
Thanks! It's new. I'm impressed that you watched my video, which has absolutely nothing to do with your vehicle.
I just ran out to look at my 1995 YJ and tell you what that boss you sawed off was for. I don’t know, my bone stock original ‘95 doesn’t have it!
They must have gotten rid of it by 95. I have seen some 95's with the newer style intake manifold.

ThNks for these!
You may end up with too much throttle body doing that but I like the creativity! Thanks for watching!

Where do I get one like the above to buy?
Junkyard or ebay
I wonder if this would still work with a TBI? 1987 ??
Not likely, they are pretty different
Hello, I love your videos! One question, did you have to open the hole in the TJ throttle body? for the 6cyl body?
I didn't have to, but I did because theoretically, it should be better to have matching hole sizes.
@@JeepSheepTV Excellent, this month I start with my modifications, I will follow your advice 😃
good video, thanks!
Welcome back!!!! Do you still have the turbo on the YJ?
Oh yea, running great
Good stuff as always. Did i hear Butthead in the background?
I know a lot of buttheads. To whom are you referring?
@@JeepSheepTV just prior to the one-minute mark, 50 seconds maybe 55 somewhere and there I could swore I heard Butthead of Beavis and Butthead Fame

How do you hook up a catch can on a 2001 2.5
On the pvc valve side or on the ccv side , I have blow by pressure

I'm not really sure, I have heard that megasquirt works well
A nice jeep for me
They are out there

I forgot about power steering being an option. What does yours use to tension the belt?
@@JeepSheepTV it’s essentially just a pulley on an arm, I will verify tomorrow

Have you ever figured out what you sawed off actually is?😂
... nope
4 banger its a drog
