Ok, I'm not sure you answered my question, so I'll bring it up again - from your experience with this 1.4L multi-air engine, is 24psi the highest that you can run reliably and safely with stock internals, or do you not recommend going that high (with stock internals)? Or on the flipside, can you go even higher than that without blowing anything up or the ECU putting the car in limp mode?
This little motor can handle 22 psi of boost safely because the crank & rods are constructed of lightweight forged steel. We have seen that time and time again through our working with the 1.4M Multi-Air engine.
The hard part will be finding after market Intake valve springs and controlling the MultiAir electro-hydraulic system to handle the added boost once you pass that threshold.
Can it be done. Absolutely!
How will the increase affect all the other components... Time will tell.
We are working to develop intakes, exhausts, performance filters, ECU Modules and many more products for the car and during our testing we are very pleased with the performance that we are getting BUT, also with the reliability of the vehicle as well.
There is a fine line between pushing something just past its limits (where you will have issues) and find that sweet spot where we are able to maximize performance safely and effectively.
That is where we want to be.
To be able to offer drivers options that will make their Renegade a lot of fun all while being easy to install and reliable for the everyday driver.
There are times where we have those one-off customers who want nothing but performance and will sacrifice everything else to get it. They are rare though and often understand that the time and the cost incurred will be directly in-line with those expectations.
What I know is that whatever driver you are, we can most certainly offer you some options that will suit your needs! Hopefully that answered some of the questions.
