About: I am a teacher who enjoys environmentally responsible woodworking. Most evenings will find me in the shop working with my now 8 year old son Shay who is both my greatest helper and biggest fan.
I have a little, underpowered 1961 CJ5 with a 4 cylinder motor. I always thought it would be fun to try an turbocharge it. So starting with a junked Saab I did just that. Be sure to watch the video and check out the description for a link to the build log. I talk about sourcing and sizing the turbo, how to mount and cool it, the troubles and successes I had as well as reasoning and methodology. For anyone interested in trying this themselves the build log is a great place to start.
