2.0 Turbo 340 HP & 369 lb-ft of torque?

[Caveman044]

I know it's not totally the same thing but you can get the 4xe version of the Wrangler with the 2.0 PHEV system that puts out 375 HP and 470 TQ.

And adds 800 pounds. That can't be ignored.

Its lighter then my 18 WK2 Trailhawk Hemi and makes more power than the V8 did as well. Even with the extra weight its still faster then pretty much any other engine option short of the 392.

But scary electrons, and them turbo 4 bangers don't sound manly...like my pentastar. It's new and different, that's terrifying to some. These are the modern day points distributor/carb guys. Any negative they can think of, even if they aren't true.

Is anyone offering a points/distributer/carb conversion kit for the 2.0 ?

There are quite a few 300+ bhp 2.0Ls out there now. I suspect that over time they will become hand grenades. Basically all they do is pump more boost through the engine.

No, and I highly doubt there will ever be anything like this offered.

jb4, mishimoto intake, muffler delete, 94 octane pump gas, blue is with water meth injection. 321 hp and 445ftlbs at the wheels on pump gas, 333 hp and 470ftlbs with water/meth. The srt tune isn’t even all that aggressive compared to what some guys are running. 15% drivetrain loss puts the above tune at 392hp and 552ftlbs!

Are you running a tune with this set up? If so, how do I get the custom tune as well?

Not my dyno charts, it’s from a guy on the burger JB4 forum. They use a piggy back set up to control boost etc. They have different Maps as well as the ability to customize your own map. I’m running the superchips td3 tuner and their 93 octane tune, which is not nearly this power level but does give the Jeep a nice boost in performance.

Gotcha thanks. I'm having some bad issues with my 2.0 currently but hopefully it gets fixed then I'm going to run the jb4 with the bolt ons

I think the 2.0 can put out some power, I mean my 04 SRT4 neon will hold 400+ on a stock block and it's a 2.4 dohc. Maybe a good e85 tune and freeing up some restrictions.

I put a stage 1 tune on my VW at 49K miles... I just traded it in with 162K miles and the engine was still running strong. It came from the factory with 200hp/207tq... you could get it up to about 400hp without risking much.

Stage 1 (tune) and Stage 2 (tune, intake, downpipe) should add enough power without stressing the engine. Most turbo engines come from the factory tuned for comfort over performance.

When you start adding bigger turbos and really turning up the boost, that's when problems arise.

To further illustrate your point: When I was a very young pup (1979) I put a turbocharger on a Fiat X1/9. It was an underpowered but great handling car, and it was all I could afford. This was way before forced induction was a well known procedure to the masses. We warmed it up, found a straight/deserted road, and ran it through the gears. My first reaction was holy shit, this is WAY faster than I expected. Turns out the waste gate was stuck. A piston exited the block before I was out of 3rd gear.

I'm in when a Wrangler gets a I4 2.0 nearing this...

Until then I"ll keep my mundane 3.6 and happily do without the 392 lump.
It will be interesting to see where the I4 2.0 horsepower war leads. 643 HP hybrid anyone.

Somewhat related: a stock block S2000 (2.2 liter inline 4) with 950whp & 690wtq on 38psi. Probably won't last long, but still impressive how far you can push things.

My buddy who works on the SEMA Jeeps was showing me a two door with the 2.0 doing rolling burnouts at 25mph with 33s on it lol one of the tuned ones they took down there
