Ryan Report post Posted November 30, 2018 Just bought a 14 R/T and want to give it more juice. Any suggestions on what’s available like chips or bolt ons. Can’t find much of anything. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redtomatoman Report post Posted November 30, 2018 I am unaware of anything that will legitimately increase performance. Most people's knee jerk response is a cold air intake, but it already has one stock. I don't think there are any tuning options either. It has plenty of power already, imo. A set of performance tires may be a good start... good luck Peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jkeaton Report post Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Correct^^ There is no aftermarket support for this vehicle as the typical purchaser uses it for what it is. A very capable people mover/grocery hauler. Not a performance based CUV. You can install a new exhaust to make it sound a little better, I’ve also heard people who use one of those “pedal commander” things to reduce lag in throttle response (have no idea it if it actually does). As stated, it already has a cold air intake, you could add a K&N drop in filter. Read some threads in this section. There are a few where people have done some things but most, if not all will have to be totally custom. We are waiting for someone to turbo or supercharge their DJ, or drop in a Hellcat engine.

NavalLacrosse Report post Posted November 30, 2018 OP, like many others, have the hope of getting that extra kick out of their DJ. I've not seen anyone actually do it. My personal take on it is, sadly, is the DJ is a family runabout crossover. It's purpose was to replace the short-bed caravan. The V-6 isn't slow, but isn't quick either.... I've accepted the fact I bought a minivan(DJ) and not a R/T charger. And, for what it's worth- Welcome to the forms! Check out the performance section of the forums for ideas. There's been a lot a very determined people attempting to make their DJ faster. 1 USAFGuerin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neto Report post Posted December 1, 2018 Take out the extra seats, carpet & padding, any extra weight. Then go on a diet. (Just joking. But we have the 4 banger, so be glad for what power your V6 has.) 2 jkeaton and Armando G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jkeaton Report post Posted March 7 (edited) This platform has been around for 10 years. I'd hope someone has figured out how to boost one by now and actually do it. Edited March 7 by jkeaton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cokey Report post Posted March 13 Haven't seen any turbo'd ones yet. Haven't researched enough. Maybe one floating around with same engine on different make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Locosiete Report post Posted March 15 Would love to turbo one but lord knows that is not with in my reaches ANY time soon. Don't know if there is any truth to it but was talking to someone at a car show and he was saying there is some type of chip or something that would force the system to be full-time AWD not just when it is slipping. Never did any research to see if there was any truth to it but curious if anyone here ever heard of something like that. I would think on DJs the AWD is not designed to always be on so it would burn out the system. Granted i am not a mechanic or an engineer so can't say for sure either way.
