I've actually thought about this. The reason not to go turbo is that in rock crawling Jeeps you don't really need all that much power, but good reliable torque you can grind away with slowly all day. You'd have to build a well thought out cooling system for any kind of turbo JZ that's going to spend much time sitting around. I'm really just thinking of a good alternative to the domestic 4L six. The other way is go belt driven centrifugal and you won't have quite as many heat problems as a turbo, but extra HP if you need it for something. I'd be hestiant to build anything that has a real peaky curve, that would not be good for typical Jeep off roading. Now if you're one of those nucking futs Icelandic guys, different story.
