If it operates the same as the 2.0, the BSG also charges the battery during up-shifts by slowing the motor to better rev-match the next gear. In theory, this should lead to quicker or smoother shifts.

Thatās because eTorque doesnāt operate above 1500 rpm. So it doesnāt add to the peak power numbers that are advertised.Does 3.6 eTorque add any horsepower or foot pounds? Specs I find seem to say itās the same.
Assuming those numbers are at the crankshaft, and knowing that the motor puts out 16 HP max, the 3.6 BSG torque curve at best will look like this:āThe electric motorās output of up to 16 hp/90 lb-ft doesnāt get figured in because it spins three times for every turn of the engine and by the time the engines reach their peak power the electric motor output is negligible.ā
In reality, it's probably something like this:Assuming those numbers are at the crankshaft, and knowing that the motor puts out 16 HP max, the 3.6 BSG torque curve at best will look like this:
RPM lb-ft
0900 90
1000 84
1100 76
1200 70
1300 65
1400 60
1500 56
It never was intended to add high-end torque . . . if you've seen the video where the Tech is riding along with the vlogger.It's a 90 ft/lb electric motor, but only adds it on the bottom end of the RPMs. Basically a short burst of torque to get the vehicle moving from a stop, reducing the amount of fuel needed to do so. It doesn't add anything on the top end, as its being used as a generator to replenish the battery at that point.
Your not trying very hard ? There is MUCH to be found on the U-T, going back to the very Introduction of the system !Does 3.6 eTorque add any horsepower or foot pounds? Specs I find seem to say itās the same. Also, I drove with and without eTorque. The ESS is definitely smoother so much so I would get it if that was the vehicle I wanted. Actually Iām sprained there isnāt more on the subject.
I don't understand. There must be a gas savings. Why does't the mpg on window sticker reflect any increase?It never was intended to add high-end torque . . . if you've seen the video where the Tech is riding along with the vlogger.
he fully explains the 6 functions of the eTorque system. the 3 I most like are the SMOOTH/NEARLY SEAMLESS start/stop, the gas savings, and the improved mpg's. The other 3 are a bit "techy" for me but worth noting . just my opinion .
Only problem now is the 2020's are greatly limited in the eTorque offerings on Wranglers . SO, If I were in the market for a 2020 Wrangler, I'd compromise in order to get the improved mpg, improved torque and "spunky" off the line feel (if/when desired, ha) with the 2.0 !
I don't know what U-T is and not being savvy I suppose I am only looking at this motor inside the Sahara. Thanks.Your not trying very hard ? There is MUCH to be found on the U-T, going back to the very Introduction of the system !
you can also go to Other FCA-friendly Forums . . . 5th Gen Ram or Gladiator + again a specific U-T search will reward you with more watching than time on your hands .
I think it is reflected by about 1 mpg in comparison to the 3.6l without eTorqueI don't understand. There must be a gas savings. Why does't the mpg on window sticker reflect any increase?
City mileage will be better than a model without a start/stop system, its not going to improve highway mileage.I don't understand. There must be a gas savings. Why does't the mpg on window sticker reflect any increase?
Essentially what I was saying, as on the mid and high range RPMs its recharging the battery instead of adding any torque.It never was intended to add high-end torque
