wats up everyone...i just saved enough money to turbo my 94 jimm and im really intersted to do it. I just wanted a few suggestions if possible. I wanted to no were i can find a turbo kit for a 94 jimmy i also wanted to no if i have to upgrade anything internal in my engine and whats invloved and what i have to do to get it turbo'd and working thanx appricaite it

 

if your looking for power, you need some internal modifications, if you want small boost, its ok. check this site, www.campbellautomotive.com check out their turbo systems on s 10 typhoons, putting out 28psi 800hp. yes not cheap, I priced it out, almost 35000.

 

LOL @ 35k!!!!!@#!@#$@#%@#

im sorry guys i still dont see the need for internal mods considering i have run 14psi of boost through my COMPLETEY STOCK LONG BLOCK BS 4.3L. The turbo seals went so i just sent the turbo off to get rebuilt (60-1 compressor w/ .82 a/r turbine ) I ran 14psi through it for about 5, 1/4 mile runs and the 2 weeks after that. Then i turned it back down to 11psi. I have run 8 to 11psi daily for the past year with no worries. The truck isnt even tuned properly (it has a very very safe 10psi base tune) Truck runs great. @ 10psi i am dead even with an EVO VIII (that has a turboback i might add ) if your looking for a weekend warrior that runs low low 13's on a 110* track temp day then just add 13psi

the 96+ motors are supposedly the weaker engines and mine has been fine on 10psi. If you do internals just get a nice set of heavy duty JE pistons 8.5:1, total seal rings, Eagle H-beams and get the stock crank cryotreated with 4-bolt mains and ARP hardware everywhere. That shouldnt put you back more then $6k.... Then if you want to get fancy a nice 2114 EFI set-up- $2000. Head work/valvetrain/cam- $2k.


i wouldnt be afraid to run 550-600whp on htis set-up because thats the set-up im going to.

JDB on s10forum is running 420whp on stock bottom end. COMPLETLY STOCK.

i had to build my entire turbokit. Its rearmount and it works great. they dont make turbokits for your year jimmy. Arent 94's TBI? or CFI? or w/e..... i would jsut do an extra injector set-up or FMU for anything under 10psi + a walbro fuel pump. and only run 5 or 6psi intercooled because of the age of the motor.
