Well just picked up my JK from Allsouth. Got a RIPP supercharger installed on my 3.6, this thing is all kinds of fun now. The waste gate sounds awesome when you get on it. Diablo set up a great tune on it with their new Version 2 tune for the 2012-13 wranglers. I really like the new Diablosport Trinity programmer, you can attach it to your windshield and 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, and 1/8 mile times. Lots of neat features on it over the old hand held programmer I had on my charger. Only drove it about 20 miles today, but it has been a blast and actually keeps up with traffic. Thanks Allsouth for the great customer service as always! //SLAMIN//

Damn I'm jealous... I talked to a guy a few months ago with a supercharged 3.6 and he said it was like V8 power... That's awesome!

Love it //SLAMIN// //SLAMIN// //SLAMIN//

Hell yeah, that thing sounds sweeeeeet!

Damn, Reptar is a complete monster now. Nice! //SLAMIN//

Awesome!

What do you do for work again?
That's the tits!

Congrats man. That is definitely the direction I would go rather than a v8 should the itch ever strike me.

With the build you're doing, you might rethink that eventually. I think the RIPP lists for about $6K. With you doing your own work a 6.0 swap would be in the same ballpark, or less.

V8 swap over a charged 6. Get bored, charge the 8 //letseat//

Yeah key words there are "do the work yourself"
I priced a few swaps and LS swaps started a $16k for a 5.3 and $18k for a 6.0, but that's for a new crate motor too. I would have a problem throwing a junkyard motor and trans into a brand new JK, and I am sure it would be a nightmare getting it to pass emissions "with me doing the work myself" haha

Pacific fab and another on pirate make them drop in ready. They run them on an engine dino and can tune them however you want including cam. Make them emissions compliant and few wires ready to run process.

have you seen the wiring harness for the JK? //LMAO//

The 5.3/6.0 is one of the simplest swaps to make pass emissions, since almost all the sensors can be eliminated by the ECM. Only the ones needed for the ECM to efficiently run the engine can throw codes.
If I wanted a V8 JK, I wouldn't buy a new one though.

Ask how many problem's his TJ has had since he had that guy put the FIRST v8 engine in. I think he's on his third now. Your JK is PLENTY powerful & your still running the factory power plant. This build is awesome!!! + you wont break down!!
And you have the Frankenstein XJ, no need to destroy a brand new JK. IMO

Are you talking about kirk? If so, that was the caddy motor with the stupid computer. The current 6.0 is trouble free.

5.3 XJ would be pretty sweet haha

The point is not to advocate a V8 swap, just to propose an alternate to a RIPP if he wants more HP than a RIPP would yield.
There are lots of posts about how everyone wants more gearing; everyone probably wants more HP too.

Dont matter how complicated the factory harness is. The LS swap is still 5 wire hook up to make it run. I will do the swap for less than 18K. //;D//
You can supercharge a V8 TOO //cheers2//

I have done a LS swap in a DD TJ. If it is done right you will have no problem.
It has been drove everyday for almost 2 years never had a problem. //cheers2//
