Yeah, this is an exciting change of pace! I am not nearly as industrious as you are (or as I used to be), so I was really thinking that I might actually be able to make my next project happen if I MS3'd the engine, and just ran a TH400. If I recall correctly from earlier in this thread, I think you are running this one on the HP Tuners again, but I can still learn a lot from what you do with it.

I'm thinking of stuffing a 4.8 and a TH400 in a 2000 Grand Cherokee I have with a blown motor. Of course with the eBay GT45 and 60mm wastegate I have sitting on the shelf. I figured with the right rear end and the taller tires of the cherokee, maybe with a decently efficient converter it wouldn't be too bad to drive around without an OD.... I'm just still beat up from my trans tuning experience using a PCS trans controller on a Chrysler 41TE with all of its damn solenoid cross over curves and ****. THAT was a tough row to hoe! Lol

Anyway, subbed for learnin'. Hahah

judging by what fairmont 2.0 has been able to do, this one should see 700 to the wheels with that turbo, LOL

Sloppy Mechanics move fast, even when they aren't being sloppy!

That looks super simple and fantastic, can't wait to see how it works for you.

You should mount it in front of the grill, haha.

Looking good. That's kinda the way I'm changing mine to on my fairmont . I'm gonna use a small radiator . Should be cool to pull up at the track in a four door with that turbo showing in the grille.
