Expert Insight:

The H.O. Difference: Not Just a Tune

You cannot simply tune a standard Hurricane engine to match the H.O. The hardware is fundamentally different to handle the extreme heat and pressure.

Forged Internals: The H.O. uses forged aluminum pistons (instead of cast) to survive intense combustion forces.

Dual Fuel Pumps: It features two high-pressure fuel pumps (instead of one) to feed the cylinders at over 5,000 PSI, ensuring the engine never starves for fuel during hard acceleration on Route 224 in New Castle.

Optimization: The compression ratio is lowered to 9.5:1 to allow for higher turbo boost without engine knock.

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips

The H.O. engine is comparable to European luxury engines. Treat it with care using these tips from the Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center:

Premium Fuel is Mandatory: Unlike the S.O. engine, the H.O. requires 91+ octane fuel. Using regular gas will cause engine knock, forcing the computer to reduce power to protect the pistons.
Specialized Oil: The H.O. engine requires 0W-40 Synthetic Oil. The thicker oil is necessary to protect the bearings under high boost heat.
Warm Up: Allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds on cold mornings in Hermitage. This ensures high-pressure oil lines feeding the turbos are fully pressurized before driving.
