Another Turbo Option from Prodigy Performance?

[boosted1]

We will also be testing a performance torque converter with a higher stall speed. I am expecting this to lower 0-60 times even further. (sub 4s although traction will now be a big factor) We also expect this to bring the Prodigy Jeep into the 12 second quarter mile times! (currently 13.3) I am being very careful to remain consistent on testing numbers and not to ever skew the results as to never deceive the public. If you have any questions let me know. As for now the schedule goes as follows.

1. Video 0-60
2. Video product walk through
3. Video sound clips
4. Dyno with Precision turbo at stage 2 boost level set by wastegate spring 0.5bar (no boost controller)
5. Install torque converter
6. Video track runs and achieve first World's First Wrangler in the 12s
7. Install boost controller, return to dyno and achieve World's first Wrangler over 400RWHP ++++

Piece of cake. As long as you have a Prodigy Turbo kit LOL

This just keeps getting more interesting/exciting!

No love for us with manual transmission Jeeps? Is there any possibility for improvements, such as:

* Clutch and flywheel kit (stronger clutch, lighter flywheel). The stock flywheel must be very heavy, because a Dodge Caravan with the same exact engine free-revs like a Formula 1 car compared to my Wrangler. It would be interesting to try to reach a good compromise between lighter flywheel, while still reasonably resisting stalling in slow off-road situations.

* Mods to the manual trans to make it shift more quickly? I think it takes me almost a full second to shift from 1st to 2nd gear because of the long throw and how long it takes for the 2nd gear synchros to do their job. Maybe I just need to be more forceful to make the shift happen faster?

7. Install boost controller, return to dyno and achieve World's first Wrangler over 400RWHP ++++

Do you expect to achieve this reliably on stock engine internals, or is this where the forged pistons become necessary/recommended?


You seem to have left a very important step out of your schedule: Send UselessPickles a Precision turbo for back-to-back dyno comparison between the Garrett and Precision on the same vehicle, same dyno I also need to make a boost curve chart for the Precision.

*raises hand*

Jeeplab's Prodigy turbo has been on the dnyo thrice and will gladly take Pickle's system and test it first!

Seriously though - I'm highly considering picking one up as MPG doesn't concern me (though mine actually improved with the turbo) and drive-ability is everything. Keep us updated.
