This is the Alfa TB and intake. Jeep is similar but different layout.

A nice tune to optimize intake, exhaust and towing... is about all I’m looking for!Par for the course with turbos. It’s a slippery slope. One day I may try a moderate tune and call it a day to maintain a safety margin of some sort.
So it is actually... a cooler post throttle body!This is the Alfa TB and intake. Jeep is similar but different layout.
Interesting link here. The Dodge Demon uses the AC fluid to supercool the liquid used for the liquid to air IC.Par for the course with turbos. It’s a slippery slope. One day I may try a moderate tune and call it a day to maintain a safety margin of some sort.
Per the video below:I'd rather figure out how to tap into that etorque. Does anyone know how much, when or where it actually assists?
A Ram product specialist said 1500. It might be similar for the 2.0 but if one could get assists up to 2k where I believe the boost begins to be a factor (maybe a bit higher?) that would be ideal if it isn’t already that way.Per the video below:
2.0 = 70 ft. lbs.
3.6 = 90 ft. lbs.
5.7 = 130 ft. lbs.
I've seen a few different maximum RPMs for eTorque, still trying to find that info (it's probably around 1500 RPM)
I've also seen HP numbers quoted somewhere for the BSG, and they indicated that it wasn't producing peak torque at 1500 RPM. The torque must taper off for a smoother transition.A Ram product specialist said 1500.

That makes sense being electric. Some>None lolI've also seen HP numbers quoted somewhere for the BSG, and they indicated that it wasn't producing peak torque at 1500 RPM. The torque must taper off for a smoother transition.
Before I got my first Jeep I was running a Fiat 500 Abarth with a stick (5 speed). Drove it all over the place. It had a Dr Jeckyl/Mr Hyde button on the dash that turned on the performance ramp in the ECU. That thing was some crazy fun (and a little bit dangerous) to drive. Fiat is as good as the Japanese at turbo motors with a split personality. What I'd like in my JLUR is a dash button that activates a torque ramp. Everyone is correct in that engine/trans temp will be a challenge in the JL.
If I could own 2 cars, I'd still have that 500 Abarth....
With my Dynamax exhaust pipe, my JL sounds just like the 500. Pleasant but not too loud, and just a little bit evil.
From what I've gathered the eTorque system monitors current draw and once the primary engine is delivering power and taking over the load it shifts to generator mode.That makes sense being electric. Some>None lol
Interesting... I think this means we could hot-rod eTorque with a diode.From what I've gathered the eTorque system monitors current draw and once the primary engine is delivering power and taking over the load it shifts to generator mode.
I wonder, if that’s the case, what the threshold would be and if it could be changed without adverse affect. Surely there is a downside or FCA might have gone further.From what I've gathered the eTorque system monitors current draw and once the primary engine is delivering power and taking over the load it shifts to generator mode.
