Is it diesel or petrol? and how u find space to put a turbo in it? how much pound boost do you have it on?

 

Its the normal 2.4l, and i am using the caliber srt4 turbo and manifold it fitted perfectly without inventing too much. And i am looking into putting 4-6psi since its a 10.5:1 engine.

 

IIRC you are also running the cvt, can't wait for more info,

 

Very cool. I just subscribed to this thread. Can you give us a list of the parts you used?

Also, what piggyback are you goung to use to tune it?

 

I have a AEM FIC already installed on the car.

 

good luck with your project!! I really want to see running like a CSRT4!!

and what about the tranny???

 

i've got a turbo already !!!! and it runs on diesel

 

Very nice!. It's great to see someone actually do this rather than list out all the reasons it is impossible to achieve.

You should sell a kit once you get it running.

 

I really , really , really want this to work......I have followed posts like this for a few years on Caliber, Patriot & Avenger Forums .....& no one has ever managed to get it to work yet??? I just hope your Pats computer recognises everything & it even fires up.....Good luck & Big Fingers crossed!!

 

Yeh i hope this works i wanna see this. Even thinking about doing it my self if this works... but wont a turbo wear your engine more faster? ..

Goodluck

 

A top mount is probably not going to do you many favors.

Have you looked at an air to water setup or maybe even just meth injection, since you're only going to run 4-6 (probably 8 at the most).

I'm new and just getting to know my way around the Patriots, but come from subarus and I'm always thinking about how to put a turbo on something.

The Mazdaspeed 3 uses a top mount intercooler and those things go like stink! Of course they also have under hood plumbing to route the cold air down through it, but still.

 

Ok i know its been a while but here it is.

hid kits

I still need to install a top mount intercooler with the blow off and take it to the dyno.

BEAUTIFUL! How long did it take you to install everything?

 

nice!!!
Get us a parts list!

On another note you might be able to stuff a Side Mount intercooler where the original air box used to reside. Like the one's found in the older Ford Probe's or Mitsubishi Talon's.

 

This is awesome, what are you going to use to tune the ECU? What about the CVT? Just do a FMIC it'd be way easier than an LTA or making ducting for a top mount unless you want to cut a hole in the hood! lol

 

I am currently looking into some nice small hood scoop.

 

Have you had it tested to see your gains can you feel the dif and whats mpg up or down too?

 

Look forward to hearing about the gains.

 

*SUBSCRIBED*

 

Kudos for trying it! Not much clearence up top, looks like you may need to install a bulge up there. I like it!

 

Looks impressive so far! Can't wait to see more.

 

looks nice. So glad to see someone has finally done it. I would love to do this to mine. When all is said and done could you post a parts list and some installation instructions?

 

Are you running the CVT or a 5spd?

 

Subaru has a long history of using top-mount intercoolers. I dare say, if a company knows what they're doing with a turbo, it's Subaru.

And rather than doing major bodywork to mold a scoop into the hood, you attach a shaker-style scoop to the top-mount intercoler, and cut a hole for it to stick out.

t.

same with Porsche

 

Any chance yo

​

u still have the stock air duct? I am in need of one. Willing to pay if you're willing to part with it. Thanks.

 

Any updates on this build?

 

t-Hill....... Turbos just spool up ur exhast valves so the air out you motor is more smooth like the cyclone effect, which smoother means way more HP, but as for the wear on the motor no.... its a supercharger that kills the life a motor if the motor wasn't designed for one.... But also a turbo with a lot of boost could add a little wear and tear, but his 4-6 lbs boost wont hurt.

So yes if this project works I'm going to be very excited to maybe try a turbo on my JEEP

 

Uh... you're a bit misinformed.

A turbo does not "spool up" your "exhaust valves". It does not "smooth out" the air to give it a "cyclone effect" (Dysons do that). It DOES wear down the motor, if not properly built (and even IF properly built, most times). A supercharger does not necessarily wear an engine any more than a turbo, or even a naturaly aspirated lead foot for that matter. And 4-6lbs of boost could easliy blow his motor, if his tune runs lean or if he's moving massive CFMs at 4-6lbs.

Not trying to bust your balls, and I'm not calling you dumb or anything, but more or less everything you said was incorrect. If it were as simple as tacking on a turbo set to deliver 4-6lbs of boost, don't you think everyone would have done it by now?

Turbos are like women. They're a lot of fun to dream about, and guys brag about getting one and what they're gonna do with it; but when it comes down to it, they are expensive, require a lot of meticulous maintenance, and sometimes they blow up your junk. And whether you are willing to see it or not, you're basically getting married to it at some point.

But turbos won't bang your best friend after 7 shots at a party. +1 for turbos!

 

Thx guys. dw_jeep11, i hope i didn't offend you.

*rr-rr-hrrrm* Yeah, turbo in a Patriot! TOTALLY what we're focued on here, like a laser! epper:

Seriously, why haven't we seen more pic of this project yet, HMMMM??? We've been sitting here waiting to hear more about it, but our OP seems to have left us in the dark!

Perhaps he's out having too much fun with his new toy? That's the only excuse i will accept.

 

possibly stranded in the desert, with a a piece of crankshaft sitting on the floor mats, still hot after entering through the bulkhead at 400 FPS.

 

That sounds about right to me.
