I'd go for it if you get a deal. After adding 35" tires to my Rubicon TJ it was annoyingly underpowered running through the PA mountain roads. Fine in flatter terrain. Every time I drove it I wanted to do a LS swap, but the jeep was too nice to give up cruise and AC, not to mention getting all the gauges to work right. For a few years I've been on the Banks list for when they get one ready for the 2004 ECUs.

Hemi swap or 5.9 magnum all gauges work and sane fuel pump

This is why I'm watching. I did a v8 swap in a freaking nice TJ (LT1, turd) and hated it from day 1. 5.3 would have been much better, but soooo much extra crap to do and stuff that never did work (ac, cruise, tach) it was not worth the trouble. I may be selling the crawler and going to more of a DD and I like the idea of more pep, w/o the stupidity. Keep us posted.

Yep. Might as well swap a triton in it at that point

Who do you think built the jeep.

Money sent. Guess I am gonna start pulling stuff I don't need from under the hood to make room. I'll have a Kilby OBA setup for sale shortly.

I sure hope so. Maybe this is the motivation I need. Other than washing it, pulling the wheels and tires, and bleeding the steering, I haven't touched it since the roll. Just been discouraged every time I look at it.

Doing some eyeballing and I may have to get creative with intake piping to make this thing fit around coilover towers. So much for "plug 'n play do it in a day" stuff....

Never gonna work.... want ur money back?

d_daffron · May 24, 2017

Still easier than a LS swap.

Hahahaha. We will see when it gets here. It's on the big brown truck right now.

What turbo is it? Kind of random but I have been doing a **** ton of research lately on turbos and compound turbos. Hopefully within a few months my truck will be pushing the 500 hp mark

I actually can't find that info anywhere. Evidently Banks doesnt want to give away their research on an appropriately sized turbo. It should be here next week.
