Hurricane engine according to AI Bard

[JarHeadLV]

I've been looking at superchargers myself. The Hemi route is just too expensive. Recently I found out about Hamburger superchargers and Edelbrock superchargers, they both seem to work very well with little issues over the last 6 or so years. BUT, they haven't released a version yet for the '22 and newer models. They both put the 3.6L in the 425 hp range - they both also add 3yr-36k warranty as well. Both can be added on for under $10k with labor.

I mention this because it's probably easier to bolt on one of these systems than sell your truck and order a new one if it even is available.....but whats the extra cost for that power? Most likely another $20K+ I'm guessing.

Today I shook my magic 8 ball and it said it might be a possibility. I then hit the Ouji board just to double check. The answer I got was, your future looks great.

Who knows? No one knows!

I know how to settle this once and for all. I’ll take my wife out for some Chinese food tonight and I’ll let you know what my fortune cookie says. Everybody knows they are always spot on correct. ?

Okay, as a Jeep technician I think I ought to tell you about the Hurricane. It is closely related to the 2.0 GDI turbo engine in the Wrangler. Just on the basis of units made, the failure rate of the 2.0 is not that high. They actually are decent running little engines. BUT... When there is a problem, it is twice as much fun (heavy sarcasm here) to diagnose and repair as the Pentastar. It is remarkable that Jeep uses a four cylinder engine that fills up the same space as a 392 Hemi.

Now add two more cylinders, another turbocharger and pack it into the same space. Again, the actual percentage of 3.0 Hurricane engines that give trouble will be relatively low. But I feel sorry for the techs who have to diagnose and repair them IF they make it into the Gladiator and Wrangler. I'm just glad that I will be going into full retirement before the 3.0 Hurricane shows up in the JL and JT.

I want the Hurricane for all of you who want it, but I don't want one for my Gladiator, and I have no interest in working on them.

Charles236,,, what do you think of adding a supercharger to the 3.6? Is it worth the 7-10K$ and the trouble getting it to work properly??

I think posts of "I asked AI this question" are the most useless posts ever.

Ouch. I'd like to think I'm at least a little helpful.

I know that getting the tune right is the biggest hassle in adding a blower (supercharger) to a 3.6, or any other engine that was not offered with a blower from the factory. The problem is that since the 3.6 engine is not built for a blower, the tune has to be really good for the engine to survive being boosted. If it goes lean, over-advances the timing, fails to pull spark timing at the onset of detonation, the odds of the engine surviving are much reduced. Also, there are two different GPEC engine controllers, and one of them is not currently "tuneable" as I understand it. That could be overcome with a wiring harness swap, with many other headaches, but I wouldn't recommend it.

In short , a blower install is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. Power is fun, but once you get used to it you need more, and with a blower it is easy to change the pulley and up the boost to increase the power. This increases the engine sensitivity to any tuning problems that may be present.

So if you can handle the upfront costs to supercharge the 3.6, and have the skills to tune it (or have someone who can), it is possible to successfully supercharge the 3.6. The only one who can decide if it is worthwhile or not is you.

How about a turbo?

I put a question to Bard (Google's AI engine) about the hurricane engine.
Interesting, I hope its right.

Paste below of the conversation.

Is the hurricane engine coming to the gladiator?

There is no official announcement yet, but it is very likely that the Hurricane engine will come to the Gladiator in the near future. The Hurricane engine is a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine that is being developed by Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep. The engine is expected to produce around 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, which would make it a significant upgrade over the current 3.6-liter V6 engine that is offered in the Gladiator.

The Hurricane engine is also expected to be more fuel-efficient than the current V6 engine, which would be a welcome improvement for Jeep owners who are looking for a more fuel-efficient truck.

It is not yet clear when the Hurricane engine will be available in the Gladiator, but it is likely to be offered as an option in the 2024 model year or later.


What about the wrangler?


Yes, the Hurricane engine is coming to the Wrangler. It was announced in March 2023 that the Hurricane engine will be available in the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The Hurricane engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. It will be available in both the two-door and four-door Wrangler models.

The Hurricane engine is a significant upgrade over the current 3.6-liter V6 engine that is offered in the Wrangler. It is more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and produces less emissions. The Hurricane engine will also be available in the Gladiator pickup truck in the 2024 model year.




So, what do y'all think?

You do realize that AI is simply an interface to things already posted and existing on the internet, right? It has no information that can't be found with other searches. If it's not on the web, it can't know it.

In other words - it's repeating what's already been posted.

I think posts of "I asked AI this question" are the most useless posts ever. They're worse than ESS, oil threads, and the 'what lift should I get' nonsense by a big margin. They aren't looking for any kind of answer, they contribute nothing, and bring absolutely no new information to anyone.

AI like this doesn't think or make decisions. It parrots what it can find. And often can be wrong (even in easily verifiable things like simple math). What it spits out is a novelty, but useless.

Try asking it why it's wrong. I think the outcome speaks for itself. It pretty much admits it won't be right or reliable.

You nailed it. It's a fancy interface to information that exists, including bad or incorrect information on forums and web sites where the blogger repeats what they read elsewhere.
It's not thinking, it's gathering data that can be found anywhere and regurgitating it in easy to understand form.

Heck, it doesn't even have a blue checkmark.
