  1. sounds great thanks manSent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  2. Agreed also are variable geometry turbo able to be used on the trooper? Those would eliminate most of the turbo lag... I want to turbo and its only matter of time also. Is there turbo spec'd cams soon? I think ill do maybe t2/t25 or maybe biggest id go is t3 but higher ar mean longer duration and more boost i believe. I'm no turbo guru though Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  3. If that's a offer for me then sure ill take it. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  4. Intake manifold made a pretty good difference on my trooper with the Swiss air box mod. Usually when i roll at 5mph and just punch it. It would just hurriedly dash on my gravel driveway, after i installed the intake manifold and decided to do Swiss air box mod and mounted the air box right by my head. Same thing rolling in my gravel driveway at 5mph in 2nd gear i floored it tonight after i got it running... It just broke loose and really drifted through my yard. I got to say I'm pretty satisfied so far. Much more throttle response for sure and sounds slightly different but that's probably because I'm running just open header right now Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  5. Also for those people who still are using stock air box from 09 + newer trooper with a Fram air filter.. This is my ghetto free flowing air intake box until i get a real k&n cone air filter with 2" mounting diameter to mount directly on the throttle body. I call this "Swiss air box" nothing Swedish about it naturally.... I do it on my daily driver beater cars also it increase noise like k&n air filter but is just cheaper lol. I used 1"hole saw to cut the holes in the bottom half of the air box Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  6. Not exactly a mod but one of best lubricant i have found and used especially on shifter cables its wax for bicycle chain found at any Walmart stores in bicycle section Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  7. Got the intake installed but not going to run the engine tonight. I'm done for the night. Will update with results and my thoughts and feelings on it. If you see scratches on the intake manifold that's because i was not gentle with the paint i was pretty much scratching it a lot working on it, so if you care about your intake manifold finish you would probably want to put a clean rag under the intake to protect the finish.

  8. As always, good advice! Ill have to do that when i rebuild my engine its full of gravel dust according to what's inside the old intake manifold, ill put in thread inserts when i get head worked on for turbo eventually Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  9. So far I'm very impressed and happy with my intake manifold from looking at it lol. I'm taking a break from working on trooper. I noticed on one of hole that bolt goes into head holding the intake manifold on, that hole goes into water jacket because when i removed that bolt coolant sprayed all over my face. I pointed out that hole its right above knock sensor. Also comparison of factory and josh's intake Josh's intake have much shorter and bigger runners and the pendulum (main body box around throttle body) is much bigger to allow more airflow Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  10. I just got my intake manifold today from goindeep. I'm going to go to hardware store and buy pipe plugs and pipe barbs and then auto parts store to get a tube of black rtv then ill be cleaning my throttle body in simple green (50/50 mix with water) then rtv it up and mount the intake manifold on the engine. Ill take more pictures when its installed and let you all know how i like it. One thing i already love about it is that its very compact Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  11. I just got my ball joints and tie rods from sb yesterday, i also got urethane boots which i thought was sold separately. But that's one for sb. Hopefully that record will improve. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  12. What part # for qa1? How is the ride if you don't mind telling us. Do it allow your t2 to flex? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  13. amen to that Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  14. Sb/jose, I have done business with sb in past and in past whenever i call the phone it get answered. This time i tried to get parts and person interpreting for me told me you said you have them all in stock that's why i thought you was holding on them or something i don't know exactly so that must had been misinterpreted, Then i tried to contact you visa phone no answer at all and your email jose_ramirez@......... Well it didn't work the email returned undeliverable that is odd to me. I am one of those that get frustrated yes. Only reason i post about you (sb) because i was hoping it would get you to get ball rolling. I'm glad you got my stuff in mail finally, i should be getting it today. I also appreciate that Jose try to do quality work on his products. I think ill wait to buy from sb until they can handle the orders and i have plans on helping supporting Joyner aftermarket parts supplier by buying from them when i feel confident enough to buy from that company/person.

  15. Looks like tons of fun in the woods i would love to make the trip to brimstone someday Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  16. I disputed charges with sb on paypal that light a fire under his a$$ and he got my stuff shipped out with tracking number. We will see if it's what I'm waiting for......... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  17. How about Tuttle park,ks i heard that place is huge and i think Kansas is probably cooler than az lol pa got lot of mud holes and trails that are lot of fun i have heard Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  18. Agreed $1200 is overkill for that upgrade. No power steering isn't bad as long as front isn't locked lol Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  19. I would like to know more about the cobalt power steering if you get it successfully working.... I want power steering electronic one but not from sb Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  20. Dan, Did u added those two spotlights facing backwards? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  21. That's too bad, thanks for head up about Colorado tires. Edelbrock did the same thing to me i bought their fuel fittings and then it broke loose on my project and caused a fire destroying the project. Edelbrock said too bad we have your money and won't do a thing about it Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  22. looks good and simple pretty smart
  23. On any turbo cars when you manner tiny changes like new air intake or exhaust anything like that, with turbo car the change is usually dramatic, with naturally aspirated engines it's not as big change because turbo respond very good to modification Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  24. True, last I checked coil overs like Kong shocks was more than $2000 for complete set i believe That's why i am considering those shocks Charlie running in the front and maybe sway away rear shocks since it's still cheaper than Kong set. I bet there's others thinking about it also Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  25. Sounds good Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
