Jeep Cherokee XJ VM 2.5TD GT2871R Turbo Build: The Setup Thus Far!
After many weeks the sponsored turbo I was waiting on never arrived, so I decided to purchase one based upon the specs I was looking for. Its a clone GT2871R Duel Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbo and it seems like a very good quality one from the initial inspections and data supplied with it. I have dismantled it to rotate the cartridge and while doing that I checked the quality of the internals which look very good. It has no shaft play a bullit compressor wheel and an internal oil restrictor.
Hopefully it lives up to its good looks and functions as intended but I just need to wait on the oil lines so I can get it plumbed in.
This video is just an update and more of a show and tell of the whole setup with the manifold, mainly to show the concept I was aiming for.
In the next video I will check the waste gate pressure, change the oil, coolant, fire up the engine as see what kind of boost and temps I have.
