the coltcruiser13 fj60 build up

[ColtCruiser13]

Here it is with the tires on and new rims from 4wheelparts, 35" Mickey Thompsons MTZs on pro comp crawlers 15x8 2.5bs, had to grind the calipers to fit the D windows

Bumpers to come soon I will also start working on some of the rust, I'm thinking a poison spider stinger style rear carrier on a modular arb style bumper that wraps around and goes under the quarter panels to the tires and the front will be be the same with a stinger with a front end roll bar.
I'll try to get some pics and photoshop a rendering

 

[ColtCruiser13]

OK no renderings but the real thing front bumper is as far as it gets till I get a winch (suggestions?), and my sliders done

 

[Captain Sanuk]

Looks tough already! Add some lights to that bumper also to help fill it in. I have a smitty bilt winch and it has served me well but it defiantly doesn't compare to my dad's warn power plant. That thing is a beast

 

[onemanarmy]

are you just gonna bolt a winch to the top of the bumper or cut a provision for it? The $300 smittybuilt seems like a good option, a few on here run it. I think you can even order it with synthetic line.

I'd lose the 'stinger' since it serves no purpose, but that's just me.

 

[ColtCruiser13]

Yeah that was the idea to top mount the winch it's 1/2"plat on the top and front

 

[rrv333]

Looks great!

 

[ColtCruiser13]

I'll keep the stinger it's handy for lifting

 

[ColtCruiser13]

I added some shock towers from a for a Ford bronco the height is about perfect to the inside of the fender well and moved the rear shocks inward, so now I have more than 3" of travel

 

[ColtCruiser13]

As of now I'm in the middle of a draw thru setup, just for kicks

Are you joking about the turbo or for real? Awesome if real.

 

[ColtCruiser13]

For reals. Soon as I get more done I'll get more pictures up.

 

[ColtCruiser13]

Got the pipe fabbed up to adapt to the carb mount

 

[cruisermatt]

Excuse my lack of carb knowledge but can you turn your fuel way up on these to match the increased airflow?
Running an intercooler?

 

[ColtCruiser13]

With a boost box around the carb to make "atmospherical" pressure around the carb the same as the boost pressure you are running you can use a rising rate fuel pressure regulator and larger jets, But that is a blow thru setup. I'm doing draw thru, So that's a non issue just need to jet right, retard timing, and close spark gaps. As air velocity increases with vacuum so does fuel that's how carbs work in the other side of the turbo. No intercooler needed as fuel is atomized and cools as it is compressed, and I'm not runing high boost. The issue I may run into is the carb icing up, if it becomes a problem I'll weld a small coolant line under the carb to heat it up a little.

Off the manifold up to the turbo

"Using coolant to heat stuff up"

Cool stuff man. Very cool.

 

[ColtCruiser13]

No joke it has a layer of frost under the carb once it has run for a few minutes.

 

[kev60]

What year of bronco did you get the towers from?

I've read about draw-through setups before but I've never seen one. You'll have to dyno it after it's running again!!
