How to identify an e torque engine

[CJ7 and 4 wheel drive]

I have a 2020 Wrangler. My wife has a 2018 Sport. I have seen differences between the engines on our respective Jeeps. For example, her's has two bottles of a pink liquid on either side of the window washer fluid bottle. Mine only has one. I cannot see an alternator on her engine. She gets better gas mileage than I do. (But that could be because of my lead foot). I am sure there are other differences but I do not have her Jeep here to look at.

Does she have an e-torque setup? And exactly what is e-torque?

Here's a thread that talks about the different pieces of the BSG (belt starter Generator) e-Torque engine. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...hybrid-system-components-mgu-cables-ppu.2140/

It is basically a generator that normally charges the 48 volt battery that then charges the 12 volt battery that is used for normal things in the Jeep. When taking off from a stop, up to 1500 RPM, the 48 4olt battery pushes power back to the BSG which turns the engine to help it get moving easier. BSG/e-Torque is sometimes called a mild hybrid since it is using the battery, but not like a full hybrid does.

Here's the engine bay of my 2019 2.0 BSG.

Both 2.0’s I assume? If so her’s is an e-Torque, the third coolant bottle is for the 48 volt battery and the BSG. Hers will have a large battery pack on the left side of the frame opposite the gas tank. And have much smoother ESS events.

Oh, and the second coolant bottle is for the water to air intercooler and turbo.

I would not know a 2.0 if I drove one. I thought I understood Jeeps until we bought hers in 2018.

Well, I do not have that second bottle and I have a turbo.
I drove a 1979 CJ7 for about 10 years. Things have changed!

If you have a turbo, you have a 2.0.

Maybe on those, the 3.6 etorques also have a second Coolant bottle as the battery itself is liquid cooled/heated

Turbo charged four cylinder engine, the engine cover has 2.0L on it. Other available engine was a 3.6 L v-6.

e-Torque wasn’t available on the 3.6 in 2018.

OK understand. I am still getting used to the lingo you guys use.

What lingo do you use to describe an engine displacement?

 

[The Last Cowboy]

2.0 = approx 124 cubic inches, give or take a few.
3.6 = approx 226 cubic inches, give or take a few.

eTorque is the Belt driven Starter/Generator

A turbo charger is forced air induction which uses exhaust gas velocity to spin a turbine inside the tubo housing that creates a vortex of air that is then sent into a cooler, then into the intake side of the engine. This compressed air pressure acts as in a similar way that a supercharger does. The amount of air forced into the engine then equals and engine with about double the displacement, depending on the turbos ability to produce boost, under full throttle. This is a simplified explanation.

CID: Cubic Inch Displacement.

I understand what turbo does.

I have never learned the metric conversions for engine displacement or tire size. Still don't know why they changed it. Yes, I am very old school.

All I can say is the new vehicles are WAY to complicated. I guess my days as a shade tree mechanic are finished!
