    Turbocharging a non-turbo motor

    I've been looking into installing a turbo on my snowmobile. Two things that you need to watch out for are intake air temperature (air heats up as it's comressed) and a lowered compression ratio. These are two of the contributing factors to detonation which is your major destructive factor when...

    np231 or np242 for cherokee's

    Yup, you're right brad. But the short shaft won't turn the R&P. What's going to happen first? The drive side shaft is going to spin the spiders and rotate the pas. side inner in the opposite direction -or- the friction to spin the spiders and pas. side inner is less than that of the carrier...

    discrimination?

    Hmmmm...guess I'll side with you on this one. I don't find that offensive at all. Cute dog.

    Sure about that? Not the case on mine. If that were the case you'd have a pull to the left on freeway like when you install a locker. Also, I'm pretty sure the spider gears would spin before the entire driveshaft and chain assembly.

    np231 or np242 for cherokee's

    Really? that's interesting. I wonder how it does that? You're engaging the intermediary shaft and front drive shaft along with the chain from 0 rpms to say 2500 rpms instantly. Maybe there's something I'm missing. :confused:

    np231 or np242 for cherokee's

    In four high you have a differential between the front and rear shafts to eliminate binding when you turn on a surface with good traction. They call this differential a viscous coupler, it's a limited slip diff. When you shift into four low it locks out this coupler making your front and rear...

    discrimination?

    Just curious. What are your tatoos of? There are few things I can think of that I would consider offensive so I'll have to side with you that it's a little inapropriate if it's just a design or something.

    Lengthening Wheel Base

    If Grinch has done the drilling thing and it wasn't that bad then listen to him. I haven't done it but I have tried to drill through hardened steel and it isn't fun.

    Lengthening Wheel Base

    There's a xj at mepco that's stretched a little. I haven't looked real close at it though so I couldn't tell you what it needs. You're going to be drilling all day if that's your plan. The springs are made of hardened steel. You'll go through a lot of drill bits and you can't torch...

    Coat, ski pants, RC snowmobile (cool), various junk.

    np231 or np242 for cherokee's

    Just FYI, the 231 can only be shifted on the fly if you have the non disco front axle. I.E. if your front driveline isn't already rotating don't try to jack it into four wheel on the move or you're going to get chunks. Also, a full time T-case needs to be periodically driven in four high at...

    discrimination?

    Listen to yourself. Just because this is a church building you're saying it's the church that's enforcing this? You're saying they're trying to force their way of life on him? That's not the case at all. If you've ever been in the building you'll understand that it's a very formal and...

    You read this whole thread and still decided to sighn up? Man, that's got to suck hearing from others that you're broke down and ugly! Oh well, I guess you found your nitche in society.
