Turbo Normalized?

[Smooth9883]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if the 2.0 is turbo normalized? Meaning it produces the same amount of power at sea-level as it does at roughly 8k feet? If not, does anyone know the power drop off per 1k feet with the 2.0? I’m curious if anyone has done any Dyno runs at sea level and then also at altitude.

Thanks

This is a quote directly from BorgWarner.

"The high-altitude performance of a turbocharged engine is significantly better. Because of the lower air pressure at high altitudes, the power loss of a naturally aspirated engine is considerable. In contrast, the performance of the turbine improves at altitude as a result of the greater pressure difference between the virtually constant pressure upstream of the turbine and the lower ambient pressure at outlet. The lower air density at the compressor inlet is largely equalized. Hence, the engine has barely any power loss."

My turbo has "Honeywell" embossed on it.

That's right. The 2.0 Turbo Wrangler uses a Honeywell (Garrett) unit, and also delivers great performance in high altitudes. It's pretty damn awesome at sea level, too!

You are correct.

This is the main reason I switched from the NA v6 Penastar so glad Jeep finally made an engine for high altitude living and playing
