Gasoline needs a spark to ignite. Most wrecks although violent don't create a spark, hence most fender benders don't turn into raging inferno's. All a lithium cell needs is to be cracked. The battery will already be warm from the redox reaction supplying the car with power and a crack will...

That and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJCZ4ayioCU Lithium + oxygen + a little heat = deathtrap If it's raining you don't even need the heat. Don't forget it's a chemical fire and lithium + water will fuel itself. With the number of cells needed to run a daily driven car there isn't...

Supercharger kits are available for the 4.0 but it's general consensus that turbo's don't belong on jeeps. I'm actually planning to use the same engine management that comes with the Avenger supercharger kit.

This is taking longer than expected to get all the parts together. I have a friend who owns a custom car shop but has been in Cali doing some engineering work out there. He just got back and found out about my project and has offered me a hx30 holset turbo he took off the 4bt he put into his...

Yeah that LT1 is going to be a bad motor and the jeep it's going into is getting stretched into a full buggy. The IC shouldn't be too hard to mount I'll have to relocate the radiator back half an inch or so and see what I can do with getting a fan shroud back on there. The PO had to take the...

Picture Update: Gathering parts on a college student's salary sucks:cry:

We're already doing an engine swap on my old jeep. Not looking to swap another engine, just give mine a kick in the balls and wake it up. I couldn't buy another v8 for the price I'm doing this project, much less get it in and running.

The most my engine ever sees is 3.5k I think maybe once 4k rpms tearing through the gears. If you follow that link he says he used a 50 trim ebay turbo and had over 250 ft/lbs to the wheels under 2.5k rpms. That's a decent kick in the ass for a 2,500 pound, short wheelbase brick. I'm counting on...

I've thrown this idea around for at least a year and I have a ct26 that I plan to put in. I've asked around on some jeep forums but I think the idea of a turbo is taboo to most jeep owners. To them turbos only belong on hondas and every single turbo has massive lag. I've caught alot of flack and...

The old jeep Oops And my current DD

I haven't even seen my Supra in months. It is rotting away at my parent's house while I'm here in Knoxville for school. Alloy, needamkii, or anybody else in Knox pm me if you ever need an extra set of hands to work on your cars

1.99 here but with my Kroger's employee discount 1.79!!! Makes driving the jeep much more enjoyable.

Yeah I went out today and Knoxville is settling back down after everybody's gas scare. Prices are suddenly back down below where they were before last Thursday and alot of stations have gas again. But from my friends back home it sounds like middle Tn is a week behind us with their gas scare...

Has anybody else around the nation had or even heard about the gas shortage here in the southeast? Gas hit over $5 a gallon last week and now a good chunk of our gas stations have been out of gas since last Thursday here in Knoxville, Tn. We were told that the hurricanes shut down our main...

I've seen a couple around campus but I don't know if they are on SM
