Oh, if you leave the stock shaft in the front for a bit, they will be ok if you aren't to hard on them, but you do have to tack the u-joint caps in or they fail pretty easy against 35's and don't stand up at all to 37's. The ears are prone to spreading which spits caps, and that's when they let go. Tack the caps and they will hold pretty good for quite  a while.

All my engine machining is being done at Extreme Engine here in Calgary.

Extreme does not have a boring plate. Great shop, no plate, cause inlines aren't so popular. Are you in a hurry? We are in the process of getting one made, and extreme has told us they would use our plate to bore if we bring it to them.

Refresh me on purpose of a boring plate? I may be missing something.

Just googled.... Torque plate/bore plate.... I'd be up for chipping in on one before we do the final bore/hone on my block

Right on.

I'll get on it right away

Want me to talk to Curtis at extreme and see if he can make one up?

just going to toss this out there in case someone has a couple cents worth of info to share.

The supercharger i am using is a mustang cobra blower... i have the intake elbow that would allow me to use a mustang TB. this would be sweet since a stock TJ and aftermarket ones for the jeep wont flow the CFM if i wind this cow to 100%. Mustang and Jeep TPS both share the same voltage sweet so that can be called a win with minor wiring required. MAP sensor is a SRT-4 2 Bar sensor that will be plumbed into the manifold (or the stock MAP location in the blower if it lines up)......

Now here is the tricky part... IAC!!!!!! can i relocate this? has anyone taken a 05 wrangler TB apart and seen how it comes together?

if i can relocate this i can just use a mustang TB, rewire the TPS and shift everything to their new homes.

if i can't relocate this i have to fab a new intake elbow off the blower (PITA), then figure out how to flow the air needed....... one friend suggested running dual jeep TB's. one being the stock one i currently own and the other being a salvaged TB off who cares what model jeep operated by linkage (PITA)....

Hesco has one up to 68mm. Should flow more than enough.

Its still a 4 litre that isn't going to fair well at more than 5000rpm. A 68mm should flow more than it can take at that RPM. How big is the mustang one?

I do know that corey eventually reached his goal of well over 450hp on this legendary turbo build. He's the guy that helped a lot of us build strokers here over the years. I don't remember him having to go a to a mustang throttle body to make it happen.

Its a very informative thread on boosted 4 litre tech. Worth spending some time in there.

I know him.... Had lunch with him last week. Helped him with his KOH rig back in the day. He's played devils advocate for me on this build..... The difference between his set up and mine is I need to suck air through my TB and he forced air through his.... His TB didn't need the higher CFM because his air was compressed where mine is at atmospheric pressure.....

As for the Hesco TB it won't work because in 2005 they changed the IAC valve set up from a one wire to a two wire. The 68mm TB would be golden for me but alas it just isn't compatible.

I don't need the mustang TB... It would just be easy to bolt one up and walk away.... Anything else requires fab work.

Ahh, I see what you are getting at. Makes sense. Well that is a challenge.

[duck454ss]

Nothing like keeping things interesting.... Easy is over rated lol...

Would a 63mm or even a 64mm TB be sufficient?

Pretty sure the stock one is easily bored to that size. Its already 64 or so, it just necks down to 56 in one spot.

[duck454ss]

Everything I've read is that the 05-06 TB's can only go to 62~mm.... 62mm is good to flow 450ish CFM.... If I run 9-10psi boost that should be roughly 650-700cfm.... I'd need bigger than 62 to get close otherwise I'll start choking the blower around 3500rpm.

Even that web page says that the 05-06 can go to 62.5mm...
