Love to see waht jeep says when you blow the engine under warranty with the pro Charger?? Maybe it will be cheaper when my warranty is out but $6500.00 for about 40hp!! I think ill live

That’s what I’m thinking lol

It is actually a much greater hp gain than 40. Their numbers are on a rear wheel dynomometer, not at the crank shaft. The number you see on paper or published by Jeep is at the crank shaft. You lose quite a bit of hp through the drive train and wheels, so if you go by the dyno, it would be probably over 100hp that you'd gain. When compared to a V8 Chevy or Hemi swap, $6800 is a bargain for what is gained, plus you don't have to mess with any kind of adapters or removing the entire engine/transmission.

I'm not doing it because I just don't need it. But, if I was looking for the most economical way to get a massive power increase, this would be the way to go, IMHO.

I agree.... I’m just curious what it does to the warranty !

I don’t know “waht” Jeep would say. Only a moron would find out by claiming warranty in such a case. You think you’ll live....yes you may, but for sure you’ll be living behind with the cash in your pocket, I’ll be ahead with a grin in my face!

Well, it would void any warranty coverage of a problem related to the supercharger. It would not, however, void warranty coverage of parts not affected. For example, it would not void warranty coverage of a problem with the radio. It also would not void coverage of a part known to be defective, even if it was an engine part. I'd pretty much consider any drive train part subjected to stress or directly affected by this setup to not be covered. That said, there are lots of users that appear to have had no issues with the JK version. You'd have to think about risk assessment. If you can't afford to fix stuff, then don't do it. Each customer has to weigh these things.

Hey everyone,

My name is Erik, I am only of the "OG" techs here at ProCharger superchargers. (literally been here since like 2002 or something)... But I just wanted to introduce myself and also show off our stuff a little bit.

I am a fellow "jeep" guy, and own two of them myself. Although I don't have the funds for a JL personally at this time, I do enjoy my 4 door JK and my "crawler" ZJ as much as I possibly can. However now that we have the supercharger kits for these JLs, it has me really thinking about selling both my jeeps for a nice down payment on the JL.

Cause these things are flat out awesome, and with the 50% power gain from the supercharger... Well its basically PERFECT for everything I would want to do... street drive, tow the waverunner, and overland a bit.


Anyways, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Here are some shots of the kit installed on one of our company JL's (and now I don't get to beat on this one, since its a company truck, lol)

Thanks for reading!

The power has increased, its still wicked easy to install, and the driving expereince amazing.
(literally feels like how you wished it was from the factory)

Its good to note that the duel overhead cam and siamese cylinder block on the JL is set up well for boosting, even though this kit only puts out 7lbs max which is low. The plus is that it won't tax the engine however, you really have to wind up the engine to make power. Close to redline.

In other words, you came in here to talk smack about a mod you can’t afford, so you’re going to trash talk instead. Beat it, troll.

No just responding to a ignorant message, and nobody was talking to you troll!!

Did anybody say that someone could not afford it Mr. Troll? Sounds like you are having a very bad day and just looking for some attention, sorry about you day bro do you need a Jeep hug?

That’s the spirit. You got yourself a deal. I’ve seen more broken shafts from lifts that destroy the geometry of the suspension and larger tires than from excessive hp which is fully controlable. The survivor will tow the other one. I’m a nice guy too. I’ll ignore that you called my comment ignorant.

Chill out, guys! Modding Jeeps is nothing but a personal preference game. Everyone has her or his own ideas, and it is 100% legit to point out one's perspective on cost/benefit of any given mod. That's how people work out what they want to do. I don't see the cost benefit, for me, but if hp is what you crave, by all means go for it! I think it is cool and love it that some will go for it. I'd be first in line to go for a ride, if offered one. I'm also fascinated with how much the 3.6 can take, which I'm betting is more than some think. I'm pretty sure I read that it was originally built with possible forced induction and direct injection in mind, from the start, so it is probably a pretty stout little V6.

One of the great things about Jeep ownership is going to a gathering and seeing all the different ways they become unique, and all the different priorities and philosophies. I've got my ideas and they are playing out on my JL. I won't knock someone else's ideas, but instead will admire them and occasionally steal an idea I like.

This place should be viewed like hanging around a bar with a beer in your hand. Someone says something controversial, and we can just debate and/or laugh it off, because we're all friends. I don't think anybody wants or needs hard feelings, or at least I hope not.

I hope someone here in central Indiana throws one of these on. I'd love to see/hear/feel it! I'd even be inclined to come over and help out with the installation.

Are you planning on getting this a CA carb #? I had a ProCharger on my Cobra and loved it.
