Mopars new turbo 6 cylinder Hurricane's appear to be very impressive

Like the 2.7 Ecoboost, 3.0 EcoDiesel or 3.0 Duramax?

Try the GM 4 cylinder 2.7, it feels stronger than the GM 5.3 under most conditions until you hit WOT where the 5.3 has more HP.

Re-read the articles closer,there's 2 versions of the engine,only the high output version requires premium.I highly doubt the one destined for the 1500's will be the one requiring premium.The version requiring premium is more then likely the one the cars and high output Jeeps would get.

They'll definitely use the HO in our trucks. Requiring premium is not the end of the world for premium customers, GM's 6.2 also needs premium IIRC.

The cars and jeeps usually get the ho version but I’m sure they’ll sell trucks with it to. To much of a market for performance. And if it’s anything like the eco boost than a quick tune should push it up a good 50hp

Direct injection is similar, the injector is in the combustion chamber and only injects fuel at the last second (as determined to not have spark knock, limit emissions, max efficiency, etc).
That has been around for years, biggest issue to date has been carbon buildup on the intake valves.

Perfect time for a catch can. The eco boost guys are doing that and it’s recommended to them on high power builds to help reduce buildup on the valves due to the DI setup. Honestly I’m not super worried about it. Catch can abs good quality oil will reduce blow by to the point where it should be negligible. Same as our trucks. My intake and TB are clean. 40,000 miles and no oil or deposit buildup.

Ask a farmer how much fertilizer has increased. Fertilizer that we used to buy from Russia before the sanctions.
There's a cloud on the horizon, and it's worse than any gas shortage.
Food shortages are a population's worst case scenario.

Who's designing the engine? Peugeot?

This engine and the 4 cylinder predecessor has been in development for many years. Both part of the GME-T family of engines. You can Google for more info. Wikipedia also has a good summary.

Not many people have any idea,what is going on,but the worst is not there yet,a big change is coming,the biggest since II WW.

Anything with a turbo or even worst,dual turbo,is a bummer, no but thanks,no.

I remain hopeful that this war is almost over. There is speculation that Putin has some sort of health issue (cancer) and that he is on steroids because of that (causing his puffy face and he looked very weak/fragile in that one pic posted on the 'net few days ago). There is also talk of him being replaced, and lets face it his army is not much of an army at this point, morale is near bottom as well. Their economy is tanking and they can't keep this war going for much longer.

Hopefully their nuke program is gutted, I don't think you get to threaten Europe/NATO with nukes and live to tell the story. Nukes always been there in the background, no words being spoken with MAD, it was just implied. Far as I know this is the first time they've actually threatened (with words). But in any case, I can't see how Russia doesn't get worked over after this is all done.

Yup. Jeep already uses the gmet4 2.0 in its 4xe hybrid.

Like the 2.7 Ecoboost, 3.0 EcoDiesel or 3.0 Duramax?

Yes, and the first two had severe problems, didn't they? Ecoboosts were failing left and right from overheating and coked turbos @ ~ 70,000 miles, EcoDiesels blew out crank bearings. Just what you'd expect from too much power from too little displacement, and precisely our point.

 

[Tom Williams]

Coming from a 3.5 ecoboost, that little v6 was an impressive motor. I had the cam phaser issue twice so I traded it. I think ram would be smart to keep the hemi and offer their hurricane motor as a option. I think it has potential to be a good seller.

Not exactly, look at VernDiesel has took two tuned EcoDiesel motors to +400K miles most of which are towing, so it's not a matter of too much power from the displacement. He's not the only one, there is two more that have topped over 400K and on another forum there is considerably long list(w/proof) of EcoDiesels well over 100K and 200K mile marks.

......Wait for the next evacuation order due to a natural disaster and people are stuck in traffic. When the EV’s run out of juice and it takes a half hour to recharge. At least with a gas/diesel you can throw a few extra fuel jugs in the back of the truck or car. Cannot do that with a EV.

I said exactly the same thing to my family a few weeks ago at dinner.

As clogged as the interstates in FL get when a hurricane approaches, there will be EV's lining the roadways because of the gridlock.

I hope I am wrong, just don't see how it could be anything else.

i had a 280z and 280 zx growing up and really liked the straight 6 but... it sounded like ****

Looks like the never-ending attempt at the magical one-size-fits-all (read: cheapest) engines worldwide is what these are about. Little engine is Italian (Alfa Romeo), midsize is FCA, whatever that means - still could be Italian design since both are made in Italy. Not. Good. Just more evidence that Fiat continues to call all the shots, just like they did with the ecodiesel instead of Cummins.

They're still trying to force European vehicles onto the US. Still failing - back to the Fiat 1st exit in 1983, with US car people laughing at them.

Who Owns Fiat?

The cute Italian brand has been pared down in the U.S. We look at who owns Fiat and has been calling the shots.

I'm keeping my truck till I can't give it corn squeezing's anymore, I had the nightmare EB with ford with all of the cam phasers and turbo problems, DI surely gets the oil dirty in a hurry, if they would have port injection that would help with the intake valve problem, EV our power grid in most states won't handle the load, no more camping or family vacations no more tailpipes in 2035 very premature.

And all the while, China and India will pump out twice the emissions than the rest of the world combined, with no one blinking an eye.

I remember our neighbors bought a renault back in the early '80s. What a piece of crap that was.
