I will say, they've taken a very long time to get the kit out but they want it perfect. I've had mine on since March with absolutely no issues. But considering all the negative press the turbo company has been getting, it's better to wait for RIPP and all the other S/C companies to get their...
Ok, sorry for no updates, I'd been out of town.
As another poster mentioned above, DEMON motors are not sold as crate motors, and they're a PITA to obtain. AMW had to order the long block and blower separately. The long block took 6 weeks to arrive, but finally everything is here.
AMW will...
Hello 5jeeplilfe, thank you. not sure on HP, that motor does 850HP but with racefuel which I won't be using, I'm guessing 800 before any tuning.
MPG??? Really... idk 8 maybe lol.
And yes I will offroad it, no mall crawlers in my garage
Yes, all the vehicle functions will be retained. I drove AMW hellcat at EJS and everything worked perfectly. No check engine lights, no issues.
I'm not sure about the adaptive cruise control since that's relatively new, but I hope that works as well. I love using it on my ford for long tow trips.
Sorry for not replying sooner, I was out of town for most of June.
Yes, it will be road legal. Although florida doesn't have emissions, this swap will still have cat's.
I'm not sure if it would be CARB approved, but all of AMW 6.4 and hellcat swaps are 50 state legal as far as I know. That's...
Lite Brite went to America's Most Wanted and did a video of the engine swap process they do. Here's the link for the video, and in the beginning when he's doing the burnout you'll see Lucifer sitting in the parking lot. BTW, the truck they're showing is not mine. I own the Red one which hasn't...
Not much of an update, but the motor will be arriving early next week. AMW4x4 is starting the tear down today. They sent me some before pics. Unfortunately I'll be on a family vacation in a week and it'll be hard to update. I'll send as much info as I can.
Here are some pics getting ready for...
Cooling I honestly don't know. AMW is creating these as kits(not demon but 6.4 and hell cats). I know they're addressing cooling, but don't know details.
As they become available I'll make sure to share on the thread.
AMW has a good reputation, and were the only ones who were able to fix my 4lo...
America's Most Wanted 4x4 ordered a crate motor. He has a very good working relationship with MOPAR and is one of their largest reseller of MOPAR parts. He's done a fair amount of 6.4 and hell cat swaps, always with new parts.
Lol, I'm towing it down just in case.
Actually my JL is a 6spd, he's going to use the factory jt tranny and swap it to auto. I'll take up the jl and bring down the jt
Update, unfortunately motor won't be arriving until mid June. I don't expect to post much new content until it arrives.
There isn't a build page yet, but I figured I'd post my plans.
Build starts with a Firecracker Red 2020 Rubi JT, I had a LE on order but was tired of waiting for delivery...
I did just that. Canceled my LE, hopefully I get a refund, and bought one at a dealership. Didn't get as good a deal but I got it. No regrets, although I'm really pissed LE wasn't available at launch. I've written a bunch of emails, but no one really cares...
Totally depends on the operator you get. Many are clueless, some are really helpful. In the coming weeks we'll start to see posts of who the good and bad ones are
The SC themselves are pretty similar. I prefer RIPP b/c all the people at the shop actually own jeeps and off road. They know the demands needed when off roading. Procharger sells to many different makes and models. Don't have anything bad to say about them, I just prefer working with a company...
