I finished my 1.5 turbo setup last week but I didnt have much drive time. One single race on the freeway with a first gen MR2 killed my rings. I smoked him(short lived). So yesterday I tore it apart and I'm going to install crome rings and possibly a thicker head gasket if I anyone knows where I can find one? It'll be back together in about a week or so and then I will bring my new setup to the rest of the 4G61t population. I will post picks and a full write. Also pics of my new 95 Subee Impreza bumper. later guys

Hey Stealthpony,
are you gonna rebore the piston holes or at least break the glaze?

I've heard the 4G61T pistons fit the 4G15 w/ some machine work on the con rods and a little boring of the block...

yep, they were the original rings. i took pisc of the carnage...actually broke the rings into pieces and snapped a ring-land off pulled like a mofo though..and the only way i can describe the burnouut is that scene in The Fast And The Furious where Vince leaves the barbecue all pissed in the maxima and smokes the inside tire from reverse, only the 1.5t did it from a stop..hehehehe anyway, its gonna be a little while longer to get back together, since we now have access to a shop with a welder and stuff...rollcage!! later peeps

oh, that... it was total sleeper, a subaru turbo, mounted on a flange after where the flexpipe used to be, BEHIND the motor, under the intake manifold.
from what a local soob dood said, the turbo only produces 6-9 psi, and the wastegate should be set around 7ish, so he figured it was a great turbo to use on a previously NA motor....ummm no. it still killed the pistons, but really, we didnt expect it to hold forever. we are currently looking down empty cylinders at the crank, and thinking, " what TURBO motors have pistons that will fit this with minimal boring? " does anyone have access to a victor reinz, or frienz, or whatever it is, the gasket catalog? or perhaps a clevite bearing book will have bore/stroke? anyone?

also, there is a 4.0 liter jeep exhaust mani on the floor of the shop, with some good mandrel bends in it, and my bro is an awesome welder, so a turbo manifold may be in the works...more to come. I will get a few pics of stealthpony's 95 soob bumper tomorrow, i promise.

www.importperformanceparts.net has an engine kit with forged pistons for a 4g15 with your choice of CR

For those 10 months or less... I'm broke...

on that site, it says that the c10 mirage turbo (g32b) pistons are 77mm, and the 4g15 is 75.5mm, so are the g32b pistons forged? what is the wristpin height? does anyone have a set lying around that they could donate to a good cause? or we could work a deal...i dunno, i think that if the 4g61 pistons supposedly fit then these would be easier...wow, i dint even find the forged 4g15 ones, but this gives me more to think about... thanks all

I would love to turbo my jeep (or supercharge, or make it a stroker, or all of them )

Off topic but,
Paul if you need a 351W I got one lying around, I'm sure you wouldn't mind a little more bottom end!!!

A what? (fyi: 2000 cherokee 4l)

351 Windsor small block, better than 302 Windsor but still 4 too many cylinders for most of us eh!

I knew what you meant...

In case there is anyone else interested, what year is the engine? EFI or carb?
