It's not just single turbo design. My M2, which has proper twin turbos still has lag. It's unavoidable.
If e-torque or whatever is working, you don't see that on the dyno graph. They don't specify whether the 3.6 or 2T have eTorque. It would be interesting to dyno both and see how much it affected torque off idle to 2k rpm.
You see this and then see issues on stock boost. Also the cam profile only makes power in a 3k rpm range.. granted that's a LOT more lol. This is very interesting though and why I would like to build a 3.6l turbo.
I don't know that I've seen any issues posted on stock boost, but this is definitely more boost than I want to run. Srt tuning the 2.0t to 340hp and 369 ftlbs at the crank was impressive, this is amazing. With the 8 speed auto, the jeep does a great job of staying in that power band most of the time anyway.
I don't want to give up off-idle torque which is so important for a 4wd vehicle.. that massive increase when then turbo hits isn't ideal for something that requires very little torque with a 4:1 transfer case.
My motorcycle battery has been dead for 6 months and it doesn't seem to be an issue. The start/stop no longer functions but I hate it anyway, so who cares? Get the V6. It is dependable, has plenty of power, and gets great gas mileage....as long as you don't put huge tires on your Jeep.
That's the kind of mileage my Tundra gets.11 mpg in town and gas station every 200 miles is not fun either.
No engine choice is perfect, it’s all trade off.
1000% Diesel if you want manly power, torque, speed, better gas mileage, a WAY better on road ride because of added weight and an overall bad ass Wrangler. Drive a diesel and feel the power under you foot.
My heart want a diesel, but by brain votes for 392. What could go wrong with a simple push rod dinosaur naturally aspirated v8.
Just completed a buyback for 1 today and there are 2 more that have 10 more days left before they go into buyback status. Cylinder heads are on forever back order and they are still dropping seats and the cams are still messing up. The one that went into buyback has 208 miles on it, the other 2 under 40k. This is not counting pre-19s that I have done, replaced hundreds of heads and at least 40 motors this year alone. The 2.0? Since it came out, replaced 2 motors and a timing tensioner.
yup - the 3.6 is indeed a good engine. No engine is perfect of course...I visited the Nissan engine facility (Tennessee) and they would have failed engines that were replaced under warranty there for inspection all the time. Considering millions of these engines have been produced it wasn't a surprise to see 20-30 failed engines off loaded from the trailer every week.
It's useless on all motors. One more reason for a tazer
