Magnuson SC

[NoDucksGiven]

I got the Magnunson installed and the preliminary tune is pretty good. Some fine tuning needed, I think I need to do some tuning in torque management. If I get on the throttle it will stumble and my fuel mix leans out. I will update as I do some trial and error.
Other than the stumbling issue, it definitely has better get up and go.

Boy they do a proper job of fit and finish. Even if it added nothing performance wise it looks great ? Looking forward to hearing how it is working out ?

Did the finally crack the 2022 ECU? That was an issue for awhile. I enjoyed mine, but get ready for a bunch of "it will blow up" comments from people that never had one.

My 22 came with the older PCM. I'm guessing because it is a manual

For the $$$ it still doesn't put down really that much power post drivetrain. This is why ultimately I left the platform. The truck needs 400 hp.

I have to agree about power. They've had the Pentastar now for like 12 years, I'm really surprised they haven't built up a little more power from that engine, (they have made it more efficient) and if not possible offer better power options. Jeep needs to "step" up and offer more power and power options for the Gladiators. The competition is leaving Jeep behind in the truck space as far as power goes. I think the bolt on superchargers for $10K installed like Magneson are a good bang for the buck, otherwise (as far as I know) the other alternatives are Motec, Bruiser and Hemi options that are in the $30K range just for the power, not including needed upgrades like brakes and axles, etc....

When you really compare "value" a 392 Hemi option raises the price of a Wrangler into the $90K range, where I' bet most Wrangler sales are in the $45-$60K range.....so adding another 100hp like Magneson for $10k is more "value (cost per HP/TQ) than a Hemi. Personally I think Jeep needs to "wake up" and start offering more power options. If my Mojave had a 392 option I would have chose it!!!!!

Since the day the Gladiator came out- I WANTED one, but if I was in a position just "looking" for a medium size truck, I would look at other trucks like the new 2024 Tacoma that looks great and has much better power. I'm going to guess Jeep is losing customers over the competition just like you chose to.

I’ll be very interested in the final setup, also. I have a ‘21 Rubicon with the 6-speed manual. I’ve been considering forced induction, as we live at ~6,500 feet elevation, and it would help maintain power in the mountains around us. Please update with your best results.

Current update is: it was running and driving but would bog down and lean out if I got on the throttle too quick. I messed with the throttle voltage and caused the pedal and throttle body to get out of sync/ not respond so the throttle remains shut. So I now have to figure that issue out before I can continue tuning. I have a few leads I am following.

Drives like a champ. Got help from a guru and it made all the difference.
Still working out a few bugs. Gets some knock at the top end, likely due to too much boost.

With the magnuson I had to go with the stock pulley, I may even need to go one size larger as it makes a lot of boost at high revs.

Also, just pulled my camper with is. I was able to accelerate up small hills, maintain up the rest. Could keep 75 just fine.
