Is there any kit to run the new 3.6 engine on JK 07-11 instead of the 3.8 engine?

Cheers

 

You mean like a swap?

(and glad to see there is jeepers in Israel, have family there..)

Cheers back at ya

 

Yeah it's called go get a 2012!

 

Yeah, I'm getting 2012 but just wondered if there is a kit for swap...

Had 2009 and switching to 2012..

If you are doing a engine SWAP or considering it you should see what the overall cost difference is vs. HEMI. The 3.6L is nice, but I would take a HEMI any day of the week if left with a option when doing a engine SWAP.

 

Why couldn't Chrysler keep the 4.0 alive in the newer Jeeps? The Dodge Nitro was a 4.0, in this day and age technology makes it possible to get good fuel mileage without sacrificing performance. I'm not complaining because I like my 3.8; but to trade in a vehicle that is a year, or two old because the engine performance/size has been changed again..then end up paying thousands more, well it just doesn't seem practical. Keep the engine a universal 4.0.

Here's the specs on the Nitro 4.0: "The Heat 4.0, Nitro Detonator and Shock come with a 4.0-liter V6 good for 260 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard and, again, one may choose between rear- and four-wheel drive. EPA estimates are a similarly poor 16/21/18 with rear-wheel drive and 15/21/17 with 4WD. In performance testing, a rear-drive Nitro with the 4.0-liter engine went from zero to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds while a 4x4 model hit the target speed in 8.2 seconds."

Seems like it would be a good engine to carry on the Jeep legacy IMO. A diesel would be an excellent second option for an engine as well.

 

I agree....

 

I "heard" it wasn't going to make the emissions standard anymore.....

 

I would go with a ripp and be done - anything could be done but the CAN BUS system and pcm controllers are all TOTALLY different for the 12
