Ring & Pinion vs. Horsepower

Morning Jeepers, Welcome to Turbo Educational Tuesday: Ring & Pinion vs. Horsepower!

Prior to installing the new ring & pinion on this 2012 Wrangler 6 Speed, we decided to throw it on the dyno before and after to see once and for all, if ring & pinion makes and difference in horsepower or torque to the wheels. This is all being done prior to the turbo kit installation for those wanting universal numbers anyone can expect from any Jeep.

After the first run, our baseline horsepower peaked at 192 and torque peaked at 195. Those numbers are quite low, but keep in mind this Jeep is on some HEAVY 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers.

We replaced the factory 3.21 gearing with a set of Nitro 4.10's. We went with 4.10 because we knew ahead of time we were doing forced induction on this vehicle and did no want to end up in a over-geared situation. We touch on that topic in our YouTube video that proceeds this newsletter. Check it out here!

After a proper break-in period, we put the Jeep back on the dyno to see the results. As you can see, we netted little to no difference in HP or TQ numbers. However, power delivery has seen an improvement, which is what most will confuse with a power increase. Like I mentioned, check out the video we did on this for a more in-depth explanation here!

Any update with this kit? Have they figured anything out or is it still a ticking time bomb waiting to explode?
