So far, it's factory capable of up to 510 hp and 500 lb-ft. Here's how.

, and on both Hurricanes each turbo services three cylinders for quick spooling. Jeep says the each version of the Hurricane gets unique turbos, but provided no specifics beyond the obvious: That the turbos are smaller on the standard output. Standard and high output Hurricanes breathe through unique intake systems and the turbos are cooled viaon each The boost tubes from the exit of the intercooler to the throttle body are also different, larger on the high output and smaller on the standard.

Now that we've explained the similarities, let's talk about what makes the standard output produce 420 hp at 5,200 rpm and 468 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm and what allows the high-output to produce 510 hp at 5,700 rpm and 500 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. Starting with the standard output version, despite using the same bore and stroke measurements, it relies on a set of cast aluminum pistons that allow up to a 10.4:1 compression ratio. The engine is electronically limited to spin up to 5,800 rpm and make"only" 22 psi of boost pressure, though it also can use 87 or 89 octane.

Step up to the Grand Wagoneer or GW L and its 510-hp Hurricane, which comes only with four-wheel drive, and the EPA estimates plummet to 14 mpg city, 19 mpg highway , and 16 mpg combined . Those are good for just under 580 miles of range in the L. Despite barely touching the 20-mpg mark, the high-output I-6 likewise just edges out the 471-hp 6.4-liter V-8 it essentially replaces, which delivers a miserable 13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined in the non-L Grand Wagoneer.
