trying to get more hp from 2.5l

[AVILES]

I was looking at past forums about how to get more horse power from a 2.5l and I it seems like an electric fan is a good thing to get, so I looked that up and I found something about using a fan from a Taurus, so since my dad used to own a 88 Taurus, I was wondering if the fan from it would fit and if it would benefit my 97 jeep wrangler, also if you have any ideas on how I can get more power please let me know, thanks.

CAI (cold air intake) or a snorkel.65mm TB.

You need the mid 90'2 Ford fan, and it needs to be the V6. Can also be a lincoln fan (slightly bigger). I got mine at a U-Pick for $28...

What's your gear ratio?, that would help with overall performance running on 35's.

I missed the tire size; yeah, regearing to 5.35's would be the the ideal gear for 35's (of course, that means changing your axle to D44, 8.8 or bigger)... I run 4.88 with 33's, and I wish I had 5.13's instead (I ran 4.88 with 31's before, and it was SWEET!).

Of all the mods you can do to the 2.5L, gearing is one of the most expensive, but it is also one of the most noticeable (along with turbo/supercharger, or rebuilding the engine for higher compression).

either put turbo on that 2.5 or swap it for something larger; no substitute for good old CID; (thats cubic inches)

not much more u can do then:
air intake
throttle body spacer
headers
exhaust

i've looked at superchargers but a lil pricy
i still want to. they sound tight but im poor

	Throttle body spacer A throttle body spacer is designed to improve the quality of the airflow, allowing air that is more condensed and, thus, more oxygen laden, to enter the combustion chamber. The result of this is a more efficient burn, which serves to release more energy from the fuel, making more horsepower available.

I sell 62mm Performance Throttle Bodies for the 2.5L and 4.0L '91-'04, as well as matching smooth bore throttle body spacers. Email bountyhunter AT sija.org .

whaT DOES THIS performance throttle body do?
how much does it help?
hp?
and whats ur price 4 a 2.4/2.5?

The larger TB will allow more air into the engine which means more fuel can be burned which means more HP.with a CAI and TB you can get any where from 5 to 15 HP.In a 4 banger that is a huge noticeable difference.


Bounty is there all those spaces in your email?I am interested in getting a TB and spacer.Or if you want e mail me at mrcoolguy33@yahoo.com.
Shipping to 18617.I have a 2.5l engine.

No spaces, replace the AT with @, just include the spaces to help prevent spam emails.

how much more fuel will i b using?
my jeep already sucks with mpg
200miles/15 gal

[jfrabat]

With all my mods (4" lift, 33" MT tires, e-fan, 4.0TB, TBS, 4.88 gears, etc. setc. etc.), I get about 15 mpg (sometimes, if I am light on the skinny pedal, 16 mpg). 130K miles, '94.

[cali_92]

nice
but i thought jeeps were supposed to have a lil better gas milaged then that, idk. i guess im just crazy
