JARogers24 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Does anyone know anyone who has done an engine swap of any kind on a journey? And what upgrades has anyone made to get more power output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not that I am aware of, imo, to cost prohibitive. What engine do you have? I'm quite pleased with the power of the 3.6. Maybe you should have got a different vehicle if the power is so low you are considering an engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARogers24 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have 3.5 2009. I don't have any complaints with it. It was more curiosity on what people have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 The 3.5 was offered in several vehicles. I'm sure there are the typical upgrades available... I would look for parts for other vehicles with the 3.5, assuming some of it should fit just fine... Not a lot of aftermarket for these vehicles as they aren't really marketed toward your typical enthusiast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolly Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Drop a hemi in it..... That would change it from the Dodge Journey to the Star Trek Voyager LOL! Lawdog1911 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windancer Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It is interesting, but Hemi Vehicles all seem to be rear wheel drive and would need a huge adaption to make it a front wheel drive vehicle,and as Bigstr said anything is possible if you throw enough money at it. I would think the Journey would suffer from severe torque steer with a hemi. Terry jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtomatoman Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I get it. Its just a suggestion, but really?!? A Hemi? Torque steer would be horrendous. And, why not save some money, buy a Hemi Durango, and go on a 2 week cruise with the money you saved? I like the DJ more than the Durango, but a Hemi Durango and a 2 week cruise is cooler. LoL. Peace. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARogers24 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 No doubt but some people will go to outrageous levels to be different. I can't see it working at all without stupid money being thrown at it. By the time they finished the car it wouldn't even be a dodge journey! But if anyone ever decides to do it, I wanna see it!

Lobitz68 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 if you can put a 4.6 in a Focus.... Wow... There isn't a whole lot of room left in there! I bet that thing hauls ass... JARogers24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcCulloch Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd forget the hemi and try the Crossfire Srt6 supercharged v6. 330hp 310tq. That'd probably be a more manageable engine and smaller than the hemi. But it would probably cost more than its worth. JARogers24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
