Is this package used on any other FCA vehicle? or is this a new deal for the company?

I haven't seen anything like this system used.

The 2.0L Hurricane Turbo is all new. The overall system is like nothing I have seen before.

From the few videos I've watched, they all seem to say either engine is fine, but the real winner is the 8speed trans.

The concept isn't new, but this is the first major manufacturer I've seen use it. It's sounds very similar to this system that was showcased at SEMA in 2016.

I was considering putting one in my pickup to see if it'll improve the mileage much.

Ah, well, might let some other guinea pigs test it out for a few years first then!

Thanks

People may scoff but the mild hybrids are begging for mods and the Prius bro’s will show the way. Software, battery, motor even the ratio of the pulleys. I see mods in the future.

Thanks for all info Scott! It's going to be awesome to have options when buying a JL.
So what's that turbo 4 going to be like when you put 60s and 40s? Will you need 5.38 or could you get away with something like 5.13 or even 4.88? Interested to see what the future brings.

That's what we are going to have to see. In theory the engine is a torque source. So if properly geared should make no difference. As far as gearing I thinknyoull actually want to stay higher nunerically. The base gearing went from a 3.21 to a 3.45. Because 8th gear is so low. In a 12+ auto 5th is like .85. In the 8 speed 8th is .67. So with both trans running same tires, say 40s, and gearing of say 5.38, you'll have lower hwy rpm but rediculous low end takeoff due to the low 1st gearing.

It is the first application in the FCA portfolio. Other manufacturers have been using similar systems for several years now and almost all manufacturers will have them within the next year or two.

I see that the 2019 Cherokee will be getting this as an engine option also.
