eaton m45+jimny hells connfetti was created by The Erk
Well as the name suggests guess what ive been working on :unsure:
work is still in progress and i thought i would float the project hear to get some ideas and feedback.
At the moment im purely dealing with engine mechanicals and gas flow/ pressure management, albeit slowly.

A rough outline of the overall outlook in case you were wondering,
An engine capable of running 31 inch tyres on road with near stock gearing
Custom cut low range (to follow) inside sj413 tcase
bigger brakes inside 16 inch rims,
big cheesy grin
already on a 3 inch lift.

so far ive pulled the engine out, pulled off the manifolds, pulled off the head and sump, honed the bore out by 1 thou, regapped the rings to tollerate more heat, put the block back together and mounted the blower, just need to pull it all apart to pain the mounts.

the plan is to boost it to aprox 8lbs at 5000rpm, when i find my bits of paper again I'l post how i propose to do this and what blower overdrive ratio i'l be using.

Well after a brief pause, (8 years) and a selection of mixed results, it seams that it is time to revive this old girl and her thead.
