Need More Power From 2011 , 3.8
 

Hi Guys,

I just bought a 2011, JK UNLIMITED 4 Door Sahara. I find this engine pretty GUTTLESS..

I'd like to do a few mod's to get a few more HP out of this thing....

Any Info you can give me on engine upgrades would great... Cold Air, Chip, Etc

Suggestions on brand namesand why those brands would help too.

Phil,
you bought a new jeep without taking it for a test drive,
to see how gutless the motor was?

Shame on you...

Billy

Hemi 5.7 and 6.1 both fit under the hood!

It's a Jeep...Drive slow and take in the scenery!

Lift it...35's and swap out to 4.88's or 5.13's.

Gutless? i don't know but I think it has plenty of umpf.

Sorry Phil, there is nothing out there really for an 11. CAIs don't work, RIPPS can't be tuned for yet, throttle body spacers and such are a waste of time. So far The only thing that works on the 3.8L is a good tuner such as the Superchips or Diablo but they haven't cracked the programming yet for the 11 and 12s..
The only option so far is the Hemi swap but I'm not even sure they can do that yet untill they crack the code on the 11 and 12s..

I have a 2010 2dr sport and managed to find a Diablo tuner on Kijiji for a good price. Perked up the engine a bit and adjusted the shift points on the transmission. I would suggest keeping an eye on Diablo/Superchips to see when they have tuners available. Good upgrade for a good price, plus they will help with changes in tire size too :)
