My thought is if there is a lot of confidence in the 4 cylinder on the 4 door, I might not worry about it on the 2 door.
Sorry, I fixed it. “the 4 cylinder is built better and more reliable than the bigger, heavier, V8 Bronco of yesterday”
So basically, 310 WHP / 375 WTQ from an intake, intercooler and a tune. I'm perfectly fine with that output from the 4 cylinder. Thanks for sharing.
How does that look pushing 5,000lbs through an overbuilt 4x4 system on 35inch off-road tires? I'm not a tuner, I'd like something I can just weld the hood shut on.....
Again, go to the Jeep forum's and while they're auto only, you'll see 2.0t JLU builds on there, plus the countless 3.6 builds with an engine that doesn't make as much power with mods in comparison
Welcome, and again, got the DP, Wastegate Actuator and a better, more specific tune later on, although on their Dyno, it was 275whp but also they primarily dyno trucks instead of cars, hence the lower #'s
I'm not building a race car, this is a truck. I had a Colorado ZR2 Diesel that did 0-60 in 9 seconds, so I'm not seeing a problem with a tuned 2.3L in a 2 door Badlands with 33" A/T tires. If you're going for a 4 door Wildtrak or Sasquatch, sure 2.7L would be a lot better at handling the extra 300-500 pound.
My bad, looks like it's more of a mid-6 seconds stock.
Damnit. If it were in the 5s stock, I figured it could get into the 4.9 range with E85, turbo, pump, and such... I don't need much in the way of speed, but I DO want to be able to get away from a stoplight without a minivan crawling up my rear.
One, I've never even considered a modern jeep mostly due to the engine options. If I'm going to get 16 miles to the gallon in a compact vehicle it better haul ass. Two, these broncos just look so much bigger than Jeeps.Again, go to the Jeep forum's and while they're auto only, you'll see 2.0t JLU builds on there, plus the countless 3.6 builds with an engine that doesn't make as much power with mods in comparison

Sure it'd be much more with a completed turboback, but still
Definitely can't wait to do this all over again
The Ecoboost Ranger has already proven to be capable of 5.x seconds 0-60 with just a tune, and this testing was done in a higher elevation where lower air density would decrease engine performance. I'm sure you can get what you want out of the 2.3L without even touching the turbo or using E85.
