Yeah there's a few in the junkyard maybe we will look into that but yeah thanks it was fun to do and that's what I was told is that happens a lot with the jeeps the kid he got the jeep off of killed it in a 5 to 6 foot mud hole but now that he has it it actually has life I guess the kid got a newer jeep and killed that.one not to long ago in the same hole lmao

Power wash the **** out of the LIM. Now is the time to paint your supercharger if you ever wanted to.

Personally..I wash the motor about a week before doing the job if possible. Or wash it, then air gun it off and do the job. That way it's clean when you disassemble and crap won't go into the engine as easily. Looks like you are doing fine. Keep up the good work.

No your blower is not ported.

Use a dremmel to port it.

There's a few threads lingering around this forum telling you how to port it and what tools to use.

I was really happy to see it was that clean on the inside going to put it back together after one last layer of paint but I know when I got the. car I babbied it I do all my oil changes everytime it needs it sometimes early and I have replaced almost all the sensor that was the big problems I would get right when I hit about 217 they started going out so little by little I have replaced all bad parts after this I can fix my suspension my front right strut is cashed so I have one from a 97 gtp I parted going to use that until I get another job to.get all new and maybe lower it a little
