Its official RIPP has a 2014 3.6 Pentastar Grand Cherokee in the shop working on a kit. At the moment we are working on fueling making sure our fuel system carries over from our very popular 2012-2014 Jeep Wrangler program. Once that's done, we will carry over the mean front mounted intercooler from the SRT and the same blower. Put that all together and we should have an awesome little option for the V6 guys.




Below there are few videos of the 3.6 RIPP supercharger on a Wrangler. We think the AWD GC should be very close in power with a larger tire JK becasue with the larger tires and drive train the JK's have a 33.3% drive train loss. The SRT and 5.7 GC by our calculations is about 25-27% AWD... Our target AWD-HP is 340AWD-HP to make it the same power at the wheels as a stock SRT 6.4 or close to it. Price should follow our other kits.

OMG!! THANK YOU!! I've been waiting for this!

You're aiming for 340 HP AWD, wow! that's really impressive.
How long do you think this will take you to finish and will this be a straight bolt on will some slight modification be need it?

Thanks again for giving us little V6 guys a chance. :thumbsup:

No thank you, we look forward to supplying the community with it. The Wrangler guys are eating it up.

Realistically the we will need a least a month to R&D and the a month to full test, providing all electronic tuning parameters solid. Then a month or so to get product on the shelf. Our goal is a 3.6 GC and Durango by December for a January sale.

All our kits are minimally invasive with not cutting and hacking at the vehicle. They are also fully equipped with all the supporting mods needed to run the vehicle. Preliminary build list looks very much like our Wrangler.


  • Vortech V3 Si Trim (Self Contained)
  • Blow Off Valve
  • Plug and Play Injectors (New Siemens)
  • Front Mounted Intercooler
  • Boost Piping
  • Diablo Pre-Programmed Intune (RIPP Tuning Included)
  • Powder Coated Mounting Brackets
  • Gates Belt
  • Air Filter
  • Hardware
  • 4 Ply Black Couplers
  • Vacuum lines
  • Zipties
  • Fully Illustrated Color Instructions
  • 1 Year Warranty
  • Tech line with Customer Service

can our v6 transmissions handle another 150 hp?
We don't see why not, the trans architecture cannot be weaker than the 42RL found in the 07-11 Wrangler and we've kept those running for years on large tires and very heavy rigs.

Remember, a centrifugal supercharger by nature is a "lazier" compressor, the V3 happens to be a very good balance with respect to quick spool time and full set boost. But still not heavy to hit like a positive displacement compressor (roots or screw type). To that extent the engine and drive-trian are not shocked with power off idle or at any time and inherently less stressful. Instead they deliver a very progressive boost curve which is much more manageable to the entire power plant and from a tuning stand point.

Not to mention to some degree we can shape the power with tuning and always keep the trans integrity, MPG and over all reliability as the governing goal and max power is shaped based on it.

Please filter this through we have sold 1000+ of the 3.6 Pentastar Wrangler kits with positive reviews world wide (literally)

Great!
Will the diablo tune allow us to change to RWD like your WK2 SRT supercharger tune? how much hp gains do you estimate with RWD if possible?
No, that was just some testing we were doing at the time. No one was really sure on the 8spd so we tested it. Now all our Dyno numbers are AWD.

we are looking for 340AWD HP

Count me in ... SI is a second home...

Can you use an upgraded throttle body with this setup? Just wondering...


thanks ... cant wait !!!
We're wondering what the larger throttle body does ;)?

Just an observation but the W5A580 seems to be able to handle a lot more torque than the 3.6 can put out even boosted.

ps I thought much of the power increase for a boosted engine comes from a bigger chamber (lower compression) allowing a larger charge with the same max cyl pressure. Without that and/or direct injection the max power is going to be limited by detonation.

Is the w5a580 the 5 speed trans?

You are correct that you can obtain more power with low compression by running higher boost. You will still get good power from 5-8 lbs of boost safely with our compression. I am curious to see how much but if the get the 340whp, that would be really good.

it would put you into stock srt territory as far as horsepower goes...torque is a whole other thing tho

The V8 option (5.7L) vs the pentastar for me was a difference of 10grand. We get destroyed on vehicle costs here in Canada.

Going by the JK crew with the pentastar kit, it seems to be a very reliable kit
