    2.5L performance?

    Hey thanks alot I will look into that, I just happen to detail my rig today and again noticed all that surface rust on the under carraige. Also I agree I also have a 4 Banger and I love it. She does have many mods under the and I drive her pretty hard, like a sport car on the road. I know she is...

    JET THERMOSTAT YES or NO ?

    Thanks I understand that bigger cubics is best for more horse. Also I have heard many times that the engines computer learns any new changes and yes it does. But at the same time with all my mods on my Lil 4 banger this thing continues to scream down the road since its been modified. I know not...

    JET THERMOSTAT YES or NO ?

    I have a 97 2.5L wrangler with many mods under hood, she is pretty fast. Mods from cold air intake, bigger throttle body and spacer, hot coil, wires, catback etc, etc. Anyway I was thinking of dropping in a jet 180 degree stat. I have heard by keeping things cooler it also helps the air/fuel...

    2.5 vs. 4.0

    The cutting of the downward elbow will help as far as free flow exhaust wise to some small percent, especailly on a 4 Banger. Every bit counts, believe me.

    2.5 vs. 4.0

    O yeah you you you 4.0L guys, I can go faster, Just kidding? But remember that power to wieght ratio. My Lil rig is pretty light and fast but your right it will never be a 4.0L, just a fast 2.5L. Its all good and does well. Happy Wheeling.

    2.5 vs. 4.0

    I use a magnaflow muffler. Here is also a cheap mod and it will make a difference. Cut the downward elbow at the end of your tail pipe in order to make it straight at the end. You might want to add a exaust tip that has a bit larger dia. Nothing to getto. Drop a flat panel k&N filter and cut out...

    2.5 vs. 4.0

    Man I cant believe your rig still a slug, Do you have cold air intake or a catback? Not trying to brag but my Little rig gets it, she is quick off the line, and hits top speeds real fast. I can cruise at 65MPH at about 1/4 pedal and still have passing power, hits 75 MPH easy. I also have not...

    2.5 vs. 4.0

    So on my 97 2.5L with 31s and factory 4.10 gears what is the best gear ratio for a daily driver and some part time offroad. Might bump up to 32s later. Right now I do have plenty power with all of my mods under hood. O one more question with my current set up and if I swap to 32s will I lose...

    2.5L performance?

    OK I will sand and paint my factory skid. Sounds good. You think its ok to use wd40 on front end components to prevent rust?

    2.5L performance?

    Man decisions, decisions, I did find out that the 16 inch hayden fan has a 20.40 amp draw and 1,500 CFMs. Heres a question can I lose horse power with a high amp draw ? or it just charges as you go?

    2.5L performance?

    Well I just might be looking into a hayden fan from parts store, my biggest concern with a flex-a-lite was availibility and cost on replacement parts. I like the piece of mind of that a part is easy to get. But then again is a hayden fan pretty reliable. Also it I go this route I would get a...
