I am an old man with a Saturn Ion Redline 9supercharged and a camaro with a procharger . It makes me smile to see young men like your self taking on such a big project . Love it
I was searching for 2.5 stroker information when I found this series of videos. Thanks for making these videos. I am working on a 2.5 project with a Ford 351 Cleveland head modified to fit. Jim Ford Highway 101 Rod and Custom.
Once I had all the parts I had it done in like 2 days, granted it was sun up to sun down work, I burned through a lot of nicotine and caffeine, the difference in power is very noticeable, I can smoke 32.5 inch tires, I love the way it sounds, I love the throttle response, my only complaint is that when I do highway travel and I break 75 I feel like I’m riding on a rocket ship, but that’s more of the Jeep than the supercharger
Interested In seeing the fueling/controller system you're using We've been trying to get a turbo 4 cylinder to run correctly and having a rough time for a cheap fueling solution
The idler pulley is the identical, you do need a longer bolt as well. I need to figure out how to do this with AC because I converted one into an air compressor.
I've never lived in a state that requires emissions testing so I'm not entirely sure. What I do know is that when the clutch is turned off the Jeep runs with the stock parameters so theoretically if it passed before and you run the test with the SC off it should pass again
I found your first video in this series by searching for supercharging a 4-cylinder YJ. I have a 4.0L TJ already and found the YJ at a wonderful price. It is just a fat, lazy, old dog with the anemic 2.5L.
I bought the M45 supercharger for my 2.5 YJ, been looking at pulley sizes, the Mercedes it came off has cramkshaft 185mm, the yj has 160mm. What's a suggested solution for the crankshaft pulley? I can go as low as 62mm on Supercharger but still won't make the stock boost on the M45.
Did you install a TJ water pump while you were there? I see the direction of rotation is opposite YJ vs TJ in your drawings. I have v belts so I would probably be changing my water pump either way. Thanks, i had to get that off my chest....
I did not. Direction of rotation is the same, I drew it on the other side of the pulley but its the same direction. The earlier v-belt YJs do rotate in a different direction though I believe.
Do you happen to have the parts to build a system? I’m in the process of putting new lifters push rods, an rockers. It was rebuilt about 10000 miles ago. I wanna add some boost
Great video! Lot's of really good information. Thanks for taking the time to teach/show us. I do have a question about the mounting plate. Why 1/2 inch thick? Could we go with something 3/8 or even 1/4 inch? Also, I would love to see that video of the swapping to the TJ tensioner...thanks!
Noted! I bought 1/2" thick because I want to try something with captured nuts in slotted holes. You do not need it to be that thick. 1/4" may work but I recommend 3/8". The Supercharger is roughly 30lbs and jeeps do a lot of bouncing around lol.
With supercharging this little motor do you have to do anything to the internal components for reinforcement? Also, how does this effect the life of the engine? I guess it isn't too hard on the engine since is such little boost and you aren't using it all the time.
You basically answered your own question. At this level of boost I am not to concerned with the internals. But I will be if I increase boost in the future.
Not supercharging a Jeep 2.5. I've been interested in supercharging a SOHC 16v 2.4l 4G64 that is being installed in an 87 Dodge Raider. I too am looking at running only about 5PSI. Monster power isn't my goal. My main reason is having performance at higher altitudes when I go to Colorado. Since I am going the Megasquirt route for controlling the FI ( the original engine is a computer controlled carb), I'll have a lot of things in place to handle the controller aspect already. Yes, it's an odd choice for this motor but the "clutchability" and low end torque is what I'm interested in. Yeah there's a lot of resources out there for putting a 4g63 DOHC head on this engine but the fitment issues in a RWD configuration create issues that are, IMO, equal to or greater that going the SC route.
Do you think a really light dakota with this setup could ever be "fast"? My truck is only 3300 pounds and is actually quick (at wide open throttle lol) until highway speeds then I'm stuck with all the jeeps in the right lane.
@@JeepSheepTV i saw the video where you switched it on at 70 and it started pulling, I could floor it in 4th an not speed up that fast with wayyy better aerodynamics. This is really dope man thanks for giving this motor some love
Hahaha. Oh man! The power steering bracket is so annoying. There are two bolts in the front that are easy to remove. There is one bolt in the back that holds the bracket in between the block and engine mount. Meaning you have to remove your drivers side engine mount to get it off. I was at the junkyard with my bag of tools expecting to only take about 15 minutes, never expecting to need an engine hoist to remove the ps bracket 😂 So what I had to do since I didn’t bring my hackzall with me is I bent the bracket back and forth at the point where it attaches to the block for several minutes until finally the metal gave and snapped right off. What I then did when I got home was, I grabbed my hackzall and cut the old bracket off my Jeep and left a piece remaining stuck in between the mount and block. (About 2 inches) I then got the new bracket from the junkyard and cut the back mount off at the same spot I cut the one on my Jeep and then made it an inch shorter in length so it would not hit the old bracket that still remained. It’s held on now by only the two front bolts and it’s been working great! A lot easier then removing your engine mount!! (Reason I had to remove the ps bracket was because I had a bad ps pump, shot bearings, and no hoses or resivor (just pump alone running dry) before so I eliminated the pump and I bent my ps bracket and rigged it with a pulley. I put in place a pulley to get the serpentine belt to fit without ps pump. I bought a new ps pump with the bracket eventually and struggled with the bolt in the backs Hope this helps someone out there that one day has to deal with that bracket!
Thank you for the heads up. Will be doing build this winter 95 yj. Been talking/researching turbo or supercharger for weeks then found this sight. Oooh what a relief it is! lol
Hey, I've just downloaded all the service manual for SLK and I found this info on the manual "The coating of the rotors of epoxy resin is resistant to oil and fuel". So you can basically spray gas without any issue. Btw, I’ve done the same retrofit with an eaton m62, a bit difficult cus I kept the AC. I’ve uploaded a short on my channel if you want to check how I mounted that supercharger. Thanks!
That's awesome! I'm impressed that it fits under your hood. Just got to keep the piping low profile and you should be fine. How do you plan on routing the belt?
@@JeepSheepTV I think my previous comment was deleted because I've added a link to a picture explaining the new belt routing. I'll add a video in about 1-2 weeks. Regarding the fuel system I will use and Arduino mega that will get the rpm from the ground wire from ignition coil + a MAP sensor. I already created the code to make the auto-tune using a wide band sensor. Based on the AFR I will inject the fuel(using the 5th injector) accordingly to the RPM/Air-Pressure map. BTW, did you manage to replace that vacuum flap with the electronic one from Mercedes? I have one.. but I think I should convert the 5v PWM to 12v PWM to make it work.
@@bccosmin3720 no, I still haven't hooked up the electronic throttle body. I've been occupied with building another jeep. When I made my bypass controller I used a PFET to switch at 12v from the arduino. The PFET should be fast enough to handle PWM when I try to control the electronic throttle body.
@@bccosmin3720 Any time, keep up the cool projects. I can't exactly remember why but I think I need to use an Opto-isolator to drive the PFET, It might invert the signal or something but if you get stuck just send me an email at jeepsheeptv@gmail.com and I am sure we can figure it out.
You mentioned that you messed up your pulley size calcs. I’m looking to pick the supercharger pulley for my project now, can you let me know where you went wrong, so I can avoid the same mistake?
I thought I was going to get more boost out of the stock clutched pulley than I actually do. If I wanted more boost I'll have to ditch the clutch in favorof a smaller pulley, but I like the clutch. So I decided that less boost is fine and rolled with it.
so, just a thought. but would the supercharger off the cobalt ss be closer to fitting on the jeep inline 6? simply due to its length, or would the same short one off the mercedes still be preferrable?
@@JeepSheepTV hopefully you can do a cheap supercharged I6 next. as that is one of the most common of the jeep engines, i think it would be a great next project to record.
Hey man I'm interested in the tuning part! let see the video! I never subscribe to channels but you have my attention! Do you happen to know the trigger pattern on the 1991 Jeep 2.5 because I'm thinking of just dropping the extra cash and buy a fuel management system.
I’m in the middle of this build , got my pc3 installed . Next will be electric fan and inner cooler then supercharger . How is the clutch fan on the supercharger wired? Is it just wired to a toggle switch? How is the by pass wired ?
The clutch is on a toggle switch and the bypass is turned on and off with throttle position. Can be done with a switch on the throttle or with a logic device.
Where do I find the supercharger with the piping coming off supercharger I'm not against using pvc the only sc I can find on ebay doesn't have pipes coming off to attach pvc.
You say that supercharger can be mounted in any position? What about mounting in its side? I have a tj and I’m spoiled with ac not so much motor😂😂but I really don’t wanna sacrifice my ac for the super charger I understand I’d have to fab up a bracket I can weld not a problem there and I’m sure I’d persuade the wheel wells a bit or cut to make room for the super charger but you think it’s possible To keep the ac ?
With a welder and some creativity anything is possible. The only thing I ask is that you send pictures (jeepsheeptv@gmail.com). if you struggle with space try the M45 and make your own piping.
doing some ebay research looking into this build. all i am coming up with is the Eaton M45 work from an older SLK230?? looking into planning out a build for this possibly on my squirrel powered rust box
The m62 is from an older model year but it should be out there. The m45 will also work but I'm not sure how well it will fit if you keep the factory plumbing

You can try, I'm sure since your engine requires more air the "boost" provided by the supercharger will be a little less. Other than that it should just be tuning. Did you have to do any tuning adjustments for the stroker?
@@JeepSheepTV that’s awesome! My wife and I are getting ready to pull and rebuild the engine in her tj. I’m going to have to convince her to build the motor for boost.

I was thinking of options to change out the ax5 which I blew up when it was behind my first 2.5 liter on 33's
Can you do this with a stroked 2.5?
You can try, I'm sure since your engine requires more air the "boost" provided by the supercharger will be a little less. Other than that it should just be tuning. Did you have to do any tuning adjustments for the stroker?
This isnt school watching a damn teacher draw on a board...wanted step by step builing of this like everybody else does.
I would also buy a kit.
How much boost are you making?
Currently just 3 psi. I'll plan to increase it later once all of the bugs are worked out.
@@JeepSheepTV that’s awesome! My wife and I are getting ready to pull and rebuild the engine in her tj. I’m going to have to convince her to build the motor for boost.
I wonder how this set up would work on the 4.0L ????
Very similar but I would recommend the M90 supercharger to match the higher displacement.
@@JeepSheepTV I think I'm gong to have to start sourcing some parts for my '93 YJ. I was thinking of a V8 swap, but this is cheaper and way easier. ... I just binged your videos; very well done. Very informative ...
@@1down4upworkshop61 good luck! It won't be as powerful as a v8 but the sky is the limit if you are willing to do some engine work and run a smaller pulley for more boost
I found this video cause am going to supercharge a 2.5 mazda 3 2010 and this is the closes thing I found lmao
Same theory for the 4.0?
Basically
86 and older had V-belts. 87 and newer had serpentine.
Thinking of doing this to my 2.5 dodge Dakota lol
Is this going to get me busted at emissions?
I'm not sure, never lived in a state with emissions
😂@@JeepSheepTV
BTW thank you
I found it cuz I like supercharger
jesus only one on ebay is in Lebanon....
well since you're responding answer the million dollar question.... how does it improve highway speeds?
