newbie....advice

Power doesn't peak with the 2.7 until 4600 RPM.. it's a 4 cylinder. High RPM is where 4 cylinders live.

 

As that shows my torque peaks at 3k rpm with the lce header so as I stated I land you bolded I do not need to reach 4K rpm to reach top torque.

Missing my point.

4 cylinders are meant to rev. Insinuating 4k RPMs is damaging to a truck is pretty dumb.

Glad you like your header.

 

Did not insinuate anything. I am well aware that this truck can hit 300k without engine work. What I'm saying is it would be easier on the engine to run bellow it's half rpm max so in return you would think it would help. No need to bash me for stating something obvious.

 

Also your torque doesn't peak at 3k RPM.
It peaks at 4700.

Check the graph again.

 

Your peak HP is similarly only a few hundred RPM below stock baseline values.

 

Dude just read my post @tooter made a thread on it. Just stop trying to sound like you're right. You're not. Look at your graph better. Have a nice day. Stop trying to make the new guy think we're full of drama here.

 

Calm down, Jess.

Stock torque peak = 5000 RPM
Stock HP peak = 4700 RPM

LCE torque peak = 4700 RPM
LCE HP peak = 4300 RPM


Per the graph.

Nothing to do with who is right, you said your peak HP is at 3k RPM - that isn't true. It wasn't true when you said 4k RPM is bad for engine durability, either.. and that's pretty evident when the mod you're cheerleading doesn't hit peak numbers until well over 4k RPM, just like the factory setup does.

No arguing, you're just giving bad info and then arguing that it isn't.

You're seeing better low end response, so it keeps you out of higher RPM ranges for general driving - despite what you say, high RPM gains are minimal and aren't detrimental to engine longevity.

 

And that's by a few hp and torque. You're just picking a lot straws over an arguement. Having the header makes a huge difference from stock to 3k rpm. The rest is wash. I hardly hit 3k rpm to get max torque because a few rpm isn't going to make a difference. If you don't have an lce header and you have to try to justify your reasoning to not wanting to buy one than that's on you. I have one and I have plenty of power on the low end. Too bad so sad. If your 4 cylinder lives at 4K doesn't mean mine has to, to get the same power.

 

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your truck.
What you have is fine if you're going to the grocery store and commuting.
HOWEVER, if you plan to go to the mall, you'll need:
A lift, 40" wheels, a few gas cans and a hi-lift jack mounted somewhere on the vehicle's exterior, and a Metal Mulisha or Skin Industries sticker covering the hood (depending on weed smoked vs pR0n consumed). Armor is a plus, aluminum is fine.

 

3k RPM isn't max torque..

 

Close enough to not make this arguement don't you think? Lol let's just shake on it.

 

3000 and 4700 are pretty fucking far from each other, but hey.. let's go back to love.

 

@tylertx just read the thread and get the header. You'll be glad you did.

 

Well yea they're far that's why you get the header lol I'll suck that tit!

 

Isn't there a supercharger available for the 2.7 through LCE and/or URD? Or does it not crossover to the 3rd gen 2.7l? (I'm guessing it doesn't due to small changes and whatnot)

Headers without forced induction is like a pb&j without the bj...or something like that.

Anyway, welcome to TW @tylertx...as you can likely already tell you're going to spend a lot of money if you hang out here.

 

Not sure if it is but if my memory serves me right someone in this forum is/was working with lce to make one but don't know what came of that.

You're right about the money part. Afe drop in dry filter, lce header, and flowmaster delta 50 here all @tooter fault. The muffler is a little louder than I like but growing on me. Reason for that muffler is cuz it's proven to lower max torque rpm by 100rpm...

 

Nice to see people buying trucks suited to their needs! Too many big monsters out there that never get used. I had a 2wd ranger for years and did all sorts of cool stuff with it -> including light offroading.

And as for the 4cyl...unless you are hauling HUGE loads, it is a great little engine. I beat the snot out of my truck and have never wished I had a 6 cyl. I would recommend the manual though. The 4cyl auto is a little to gutless for me.
