Mini van ECU?
So I was looking at the caravan 3.8l numbers. It looks like the van ecu adds about 70 hp and 20 ft/lbs of torque. Any thoughts on if or how that ecu could be swapped in to a JK manual?

Wow that's crazy interesting, what about an automatic? Anyone tried this or not even feasible?

Are you sure that the loss in "to wheel" HP and torque isn't from our 4wd system? There seems to be s lot of threads and videos that suggest that. Just wanted to throw that out there as a thought.
Let us know what your own testing turns up. :) |
I'm interested and subscribed.

If he's quoting factory numbers they generally use HP and torque numbers from the crank, which would eliminate the drivetrain losses you speak of.

IF the caravan or 3.8 town and country's, do have more power then the jk, i doubt its strictly from the pcm. keep dreaming guys, there's few solution's to the pathetic power out put of the jk. the new 4L found in the T and C is rated for 250ish HP and 260 ft lbs, and the 3.6 pentstar in the Caravan is rated for 283hp, hope your not confused! |

Who has a minivan that they are willing to sacrifice? Will our mileages get transferred over or no? Are our superchips and other tuners gonna still work? Someone has to do this, and add the viper throttle body........ anybody????
Never thought about a programmer on top of an ecu change. |
