SRT Tests New eBoost Air System on Hurricane Jeep Grand Cherokee
This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk
This Jeep Grand Cherokee is what the SRT team calls its “rolling laboratory.”
Under the hood is a modified 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine producing roughly 90 horsepower more than the standard version. It is also equipped with a new eBoost Air system designed to eliminate turbo lag.
The system uses a 48-volt electric compressor to provide immediate airflow when the driver hits the throttle. This allows the engine to use larger turbochargers for greater power without waiting for them to spool.
Patrick Rall takes a closer look under the hood, explains how the eBoost Air system works and shows the experimental Jeep Grand Cherokee launching from both outside and inside the vehicle.
Could this technology preview the next high-performance SRT powertrain?
