If you're willing to shop nationwide and used, you can get away with getting a Rubicon for 40kish. I picked mine up with 20k miles and certified pre-owned Rubicon and love it.
@@nitroxide17 You can get much lower, but I wanted to get really close to top of the line. Diesel would have been awesome, but that bumps it up to the 50k area even used. If you go lower, you can get around 30k for a Sport S, just make sure you get the Max Tow package as that gives you the wider Dana 44 axles.
I traded my 2020 Canyon Denali for my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon & love the JTR. It’s definitely underpowered when you add the weight of bigger tires, wheels, which is why I’m looking into this supercharger. If you’re planning on heavy modifications 40” tires, Dana 60s, replacing suspension. I’d look into the cheaper sport model. If you’re not going to be replacing everything then the JTR Rubicon is a good choice. IMO If you go the Rubicon route get it nicely appointed because Jeep makes it difficult to add options later, most options are tied to your VIN from the factory. I had trouble adding the 115v bed outlet after purchase.
I’ve been running this for a few weeks - amazing change in how the truck drives. I’ve added a lot of weight to the Gladiator and the s/c kit completely makes the truck feel lighter than stock. It really is amazing.
@steve Hinkley can you comment on any noticeable changes in fuel efficiency? Better or worse. Obviously heavy on the go pedal will equal worse, but what about normal driving? Thanks.
Really not trying to salt you up bro , but towing involves much more then h.p. and tq. Gearing and cooling and structural strength have a lot to do with that..but hey, more power more better
@@artemusifasuenshuffleman8535 Yes of course there is much more thats involved than just horsepower and torque when it comes to towing and i'm not saying that this is going to allow you to exceed your towing capacity by any means. The extra power and torque will improve the overall drivability and keep you safe when you need to move out of your own way.
@@bflico We just purchased a new 2020 Gladiator Mojave. It does wander a bit, which is to be expected from the knobbier tires. Other than that, it rides and drives perfect! We love it!
@@vivid_racing it certainly is amazing! Thanks for sharing, we need this in Australia as it would be hard for the drivetrain warranty to be covered by an American company. Still tempting though
I love it!!! Getting my 2.0 turbo Jeep tuned by you guys!!! I’m super pumped. always been tuned by vivid!!!! CLA45, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and now Jeep!!!!!!
Tacoma driver over here. Magnuson is realeasing the exact same SC for the 3rd gen tacoma. Super greatful to see this video. Obviously jeep n tacos are diff vehicles but the similarities are there in the engine size. Cant wait to see how they compare on the dynos. Bummed jeeps get 7 more hp stock, but i went with the manual so i cant wait to see how it changes things.
Check out our video on the Magnuson supercharger install on a 4Runner! It should give you a better idea how your particular truck will act :) Heres the 4Runner video - th-cam.com/video/jHVoWaNoQr8/w-d-xo.html
@@vivid_racingthat supercharger that went on the 4 runner is completely different than the one slated to go on the tacoma. The TVS1900 is gonna be released soon for the taco. Same one you guys put on the gladiator. Im telling ya they are gonna be similar. Says on the website they are looking for a increase of 50 percent hp and torque. The one u guys put on the 4 runner only puts out 30percent hp and torque. So you guys basically got an increase on 50 percent hp n torque on your gladiator so im assuming ill get the same on the taco.
The diesel option will definitely be worth the wait, but I will admit, the supercharger completely woke up this animal! Nearly cut the 0-60 time in half
I personally don’t get to excited about horsepower numbers. TORQUE! on the other hand gets my attention. Too bad u didn’t bother sharing the increased number with us.
@Vivid Racing just off the top of my head, I'd say if you completely rebuilt the motor with forged guts, ported the heads, and ran larger profile cams, and improved the fuel delivery, I'd say probably somewhere in the upper 600whp ball park. Maybe even more.
I’ve been waiting for someone to put this in a gladiator been debating on it for mine for months I wanted some results before I got it thanks for the vid made my day to finally see one get put in
I’m willing to bet the biggest performance gain will be hill climbs! If you have the tires. We just bought a 2024 JT Sport S, with a few comfort adding and convenience packages. That I found with a $15k discount. Sure a Moab or Mojave would be nice, but we don’t really go off road all that often, mostly on the beaches. As far as acceleration is concerned, I find with the stock 17” alloy wheels and 245/75-17 Dueler tires @ 31.5” rides very smooth, is great in heavy rain and overall conditions, even on Jeep gatherings on trails, with a little mud. But I’m pretty sure my 0-60 time is closer to my last truck a Colorado Crew Cab V6, that was nice at 7.2 sec. This Gladiator is definitely around 8 sec.
7:01 isn't spooling up for turbos not belt driven superchargers? or are you referencing the compression lag between an intake mounted supercharger vs an accessory style supercharger "Pro charger" due to the intake plumbing distance? if that's the case so be it. but lagging has always been associated with the turbo
drove a Hurricane 4 rental and was blown away by how quick that one is stock with ~7.5 0-60 just sucks it isnt in the Gladiator, so I looked at this option and thought it might be cool with a 6MT and a regear on 37-38's. I have the Maggie on my 4R and she boogies now 0-60 ~6.5-7sec on 33's. I lay waste to 6.2 Silverados and eco-poop F150s make alot of guys scratch heads when the 4R walks em lol
I beg to differ, even if you went ghetto junkyard swapped clapped out Hemi, cutting every corner with the bare minimum to make it work with the Transmission TCM reprogramming, ECU and Harnesses to make it smog legal for the OBD II to work, you're not doing a hemi swap CORRECTLY for less than 15-20 thousand dollars.
Update: For any Gladiator after mid-2021, you can’t install this super charger because Stellantis changed the Computer Module and the Magnussen doesn’t currently support it. Per their website as of November 2022.
I think this option is good for us guys that could only afford the bare minimum on the JT (35k) and want to add some balls after our warranty is up in a couple years. I also have a manual transmission so with the no option manual diesel and likely no option hemi manual it makes the desicion that much easier to supercharge.
This is a fantastic option no matter the scenario! 🙌🏼 the raw torque right out of the gate is wonderful. Have no issues towing with the V6 anymore as well
We just had our JT Supercharged as well. Thanks guys for the video, it helped us decide what brand we wanted to go with. We are running 4" lift with 39s, now its better and I don't feel like i need to get out and push up the hills..
RIPP is POS, you have to cut up your Jeep in places to make the RIPP work, while multiple setup issues that make the jeep not reliable, like removing the spacers between the radiator and frame. RIPP is terrible. Magnuson is a full plug in play, no cutting no chopping, plus comes with a full warranty
I’m surprised you didn’t add a bigger cam and some porting. That’s going to net you more RWHP since the Jeep is supercharged. You can swap in a larger damper pulley and smaller blower pulley for cheap additional power. Like to see this wrangler head to head with the 392 Jeep. I’d bet it’s close. Good video!
I would love to see a Gladiator with the new 3.0L twin turbo that Stellantis is coming out with. That would be a great swap. How much would the total cost (parts/labor) be for adding one of these to a vehicle?
I got my Jeep in Vegas getting a 6.2 LT1 Plan on putting the a2.9L whipple supercharger on it as soon as it’s done that will get me 520 hp to rear wheels can’t wait for it to be done
Edelbrock is terrible, no support, no 36k full warranty. ProCharger is terrible, Magnuson full warranty on transmission and engine for 36k miles, 50 state CAL.
Unlike a turbo the exhaust won’t improve boost or performance of the supercharger. Yes it would sound better, but the owner is a bit older and doesn’t want a loud drony vehicle.
@@vivid_racing Quiet power, huh? Depends on what you do and the brand of mufflers. Some drone, some don't. The stock exhaust does look pretty restrictive , though. Opening it up with a downpipe and midpipe with some Borla tips would give it a bit of snarl under heavy throttle without that droning. If you know how to do it right,
A couple things to take note of the redline is 6600 so going to that woukd of probably got a bigger number. Plus dynos should be done in 6th gear , that is the1:1 ratio.
@@vivid_racing i was trying to explain to the other commentor why the pieer lecels wrrnt as high as advertised. Plus mustang dyno shows about 20 less than a dynojet style
How has the supercharger standing up? Is the Gladiator 3.6 l Pentastar V6 able to stand up to the compression, and how has the programming worked for this engine to date?
I would be nervous about burning my engine. Heard some horror stories with some kits from Lite Brite and Exodus 4X4. If I need more power I think I would just do a HEMi 6.4 swap.
Hemi swap is a much more expensive job than supercharging the existing engine. There’s also a lot more room for error when doing a swap like that. Could take quite some time to complete a job like that. Magnuson has never encountered anything of that either
Lite Brite actually says they couldn't get the tune right when they turbocharged the 3.6. I guess there are so many maps and the tuning is very difficult and there wasn't much info available when they did it because the JL was still so new.
The V6 definitely gets the job done. Jeep is off-road focused, and the Pentastar engine does more than enough. Especially with the Magnuson supercharger installed 🙌🏼
Great video and love the way before and after stats are recorded. I've always loved Jeeps and now since the Gladiator, I am looking to get into this. I'm new to this whole supercharger thing but is $6700 an average price for one? 10 hours of labor is not cheap that's for sure. How much would a 5.7L V8 HEMI or Corvette engine cost with install?
That turbo is tiny for the displacement of this engine, it would probably never have negative boost but it might over rev itself even with a wastegate and boost controller.
Just ran across your channel and so glad I did especially because of the Magnason super charger! Looks like you have a "Launch Edition" as well. I am totally impressed. My only concern is reliability, but you did mention all the gauges were showing normal which is very important to me as I'm sure to many of us out here! My only real question is, is this 50 state legal as I am in Ca. Thanks for sharing!!!👍👍👍
As far as legality goes for California, it is still a grey area so we promote this as an off-road use only item. Whether it will pass smog is still unknown. The reliability is phenomenal and trusted so much that even Magnuson provides a 3-year, 36k mile powertrain warranty!
@@vivid_racing Appreciate your reply. Thank you, I will look into this a little further and see what I can find out. I would like to know what the cost is if you have that available?
After adding 20” Fuel rims & 37” MT Nitto tires I’m getting around 13 MPG in Colorado & reprogrammed I was getting 15.8 MPG stock 17” rims with 33” tires. Will this Improve MPG any by making it easier to get the wheels moving? You can definitely feel the added weight.
How jeep should have offered it from the beginning. Query- what is the cost for parts and install? I really like the gladiator but hate the pentastar from the factory and concerned about reliability of the eco-diesel. This might be the best solution.
My only question that I can’t wrap my head round is Do the superchargers help with the dry start ups these 3.6L engines tend to have ? Any help is greatly appreciated
I wonder what the stock trans can handle? Because intake, headers, exhaust, pulleys, and a tune should bring this baby to 380 -400 whp right? It do able right? Because who the hell doing supercharger for merely 100hp right?
I got a 2021 gladiator but I think it does not fit cause of the pcm connections there is any newer supercharge that fit those models or any other solution for that problem?
[EDIT: found the kit price. Not bad!] Thinking of adding this for our planned max tow gladiator. Can you quote the ballpark cost of the upgrade. Thanks Liked and Subscribed!
This is awesome! 100 hp over stock is sweet. I have a 2002 Mercedes C320 (W203) that I would love to get more out of for drag racing. Any chance you guys would have a product?
We have a few products that could definitely increase the power! Shoot an email over to sales@vividracing . com and our sales team can give you a list of products 🙌🏼
I have a manual gladiator sport s all stock (3.73 gears) I'm looking for an improvement in my towing capacity. Would you recommend this? I need low end grunt. Truck is at 2000rpm in 5th at 65mph
Apologies for the dumb question but is this an alternative to regearing after installing 37s or bigger? If that is the case I can see myself doing it...
Hey Martin, not sure if this is a direct alternative as they both have their own purposes! But you can never go wrong with more power from a supercharger! Thank you for watching.
I know this is an old video post I’m hoping you get this message I’m curious how did the Engine hold up over the years? I know the Penstar engine is not the strongest but in stock form it’s OK, is there anyway you could give me an update on this this might be a good way to go if it’s reliable thanks for the video
Does this require a stand alone ECU? Also, I may have missed it but what kind of boost? Any concerns on ringlands, rods or pistons holding up to the new stressors or did y’all forge it out?
I’m still working on step 1: get a gladiator. Hopefully this year
Always have to start somewhere we hope you accomplish your goal! :)

It's interesting that MPG is not negatively impacted other than "user input".
well in the cruise RPM's it can be tuned for more efficiency to negate some of the downsides of having more power.

Now you need some forged internals so you can turn up the boost and make some serious power.
It would be super interesting seeing how much power we could push!
@Vivid Racing just off the top of my head, I'd say if you completely rebuilt the motor with forged guts, ported the heads, and ran larger profile cams, and improved the fuel delivery, I'd say probably somewhere in the upper 600whp ball park. Maybe even more.

You really need to replace that piddly stock exhaust with a louder more free-flowing one. Would really complete this and give another little boost.

The more interesting info will be day to day drivability. Magnuson was the same company that had a lot of drivability issues with their JK kits.

@@vivid_racing i was trying to explain to the other commentor why the pieer lecels wrrnt as high as advertised. Plus mustang dyno shows about 20 less than a dynojet style
@@vivid_racing and im pretty sure magnuson has stock tires on to
20 less in this application i realize its a % loss
Just wish they would do something about the GPEC5 computer. Not being able to buy this for a 22 or a 23 sucks.
Give it time, someone will eventually crack it, and we'll be here to bring it to market.
@@vivid_racing hope so.
How has the supercharger standing up? Is the Gladiator 3.6 l Pentastar V6 able to stand up to the compression, and how has the programming worked for this engine to date?
I would be nervous about burning my engine. Heard some horror stories with some kits from Lite Brite and Exodus 4X4. If I need more power I think I would just do a HEMi 6.4 swap.
Hemi swap is a much more expensive job than supercharging the existing engine. There’s also a lot more room for error when doing a swap like that. Could take quite some time to complete a job like that. Magnuson has never encountered anything of that either
@@vivid_racing true, around 40k for a swap.
Lite Brite actually says they couldn't get the tune right when they turbocharged the 3.6. I guess there are so many maps and the tuning is very difficult and there wasn't much info available when they did it because the JL was still so new.
Very pleased with the V6 no desire for the diesel or the hemi
The V6 definitely gets the job done. Jeep is off-road focused, and the Pentastar engine does more than enough. Especially with the Magnuson supercharger installed 🙌🏼
Great video and love the way before and after stats are recorded.
I've always loved Jeeps and now since the Gladiator, I am looking to get into this. I'm new to this whole supercharger thing but is $6700 an average price for one? 10 hours of labor is not cheap that's for sure.
How much would a 5.7L V8 HEMI or Corvette engine cost with install?
They say 20 grand for a legal hemi swap🤷🏻♂️
About 40k
@@MrT-jv6rf no way is it 40k. Unless you start with a 30k engine somehow
These always make me wonder what the 3.6 would be like if you bolted on a turbo like from the 2L
🤔🤔
That turbo is tiny for the displacement of this engine, it would probably never have negative boost but it might over rev itself even with a wastegate and boost controller.
Just ran across your channel and so glad I did especially because of the Magnason super charger!
Looks like you have a "Launch Edition" as well. I am totally impressed. My only concern is reliability, but you did mention all the gauges were showing normal which is very important to me as I'm sure to many of us out here!
My only real question is, is this 50 state legal as I am in Ca.
Thanks for sharing!!!👍👍👍
As far as legality goes for California, it is still a grey area so we promote this as an off-road use only item. Whether it will pass smog is still unknown. The reliability is phenomenal and trusted so much that even Magnuson provides a 3-year, 36k mile powertrain warranty!
@@vivid_racing
Appreciate your reply. Thank you, I will look into this a little further and see what I can find out.
I would like to know what the cost is if you have that available?
How is it holding up now
Can y’all do a towing video ? Curious what the temps are like when pulling a 6000- 7000 lb load ?
Magnuson's are really reliable for towing as we did a lot on other vehicles with the supercharger successfully!
Oil change is now a 4 hour job. Looks like you have to remove the supercharger pulley assembly, remove the alternator and serpentine belt.
@@j.till_z no you don’t
@@vivid_racing Thanks for clarifying. From the overhead shot it looks like its buried behind everything.
After adding 20” Fuel rims & 37” MT Nitto tires I’m getting around 13 MPG in Colorado & reprogrammed I was getting 15.8 MPG stock 17” rims with 33” tires. Will this Improve MPG any by making it easier to get the wheels moving? You can definitely feel the added weight.
It won't necessarily improve MPG but if you regear your vehicle you'll definitely see some improvements to the loss of power!
I’m running 5:38 gears and 40s on my 2016 jk..will this be a problem if I install the supercharger?
Not one bit! Will be fairly peppy with those gears
I have a Mojave, I bet this would do nicely
Most likely! Shoot us an email at tuning@vividracing.com if we can help you out at all!
Top notch video.
Thanks for watching!
How jeep should have offered it from the beginning. Query- what is the cost for parts and install? I really like the gladiator but hate the pentastar from the factory and concerned about reliability of the eco-diesel. This might be the best solution.
Highly recommend this kit! Check it out here - www.vividracing.com/magnuson-tvs1900-supercharger-jeep-wrangler-gladiator-20182021-p-153018127.html
My only question that I can’t wrap my head round is Do the superchargers help with the dry start ups these 3.6L engines tend to have ? Any help is greatly appreciated
0-60 on my sport s with 35s stock is 8 seconds exactly judging by my tazer
Nice!
Mine too
Awesome vid brother
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Don't forget to subscribe for more awesome content!
3.6L really needs a full exhaust, even more now with boost
Definitely is a great upgrade!
does it void warranty, I have a brand new gladiator 6 speed
Absolutely will
I wonder what the stock trans can handle? Because intake, headers, exhaust, pulleys, and a tune should bring this baby to 380 -400 whp right? It do able right?
Because who the hell doing supercharger for merely 100hp right?
Those mods are never cumulative.
No headers yet, and yes the transmission is known to handle over 550hp
I got a 2021 gladiator but I think it does not fit cause of the pcm connections there is any newer supercharge that fit those models or any other solution for that problem?
Do you have to take apart top half and pulley of supercharger apart to replace oil filter?
You do not!
I've heard that adding more compression to the crappy v6 is not good for longevity.
Magnuson did a lot of testing pre release
[EDIT: found the kit price. Not bad!]
Thinking of adding this for our planned max tow gladiator.
Can you quote the ballpark cost of the upgrade.
Thanks

This is awesome! 100 hp over stock is sweet. I have a 2002 Mercedes C320 (W203) that I would love to get more out of for drag racing. Any chance you guys would have a product?
We have a few products that could definitely increase the power! Shoot an email over to sales@vividracing . com and our sales team can give you a list of products 🙌🏼
What about a base sport with 6 speed manual and 3.73 ratio? Anything (other than regearing) I need to do?
Is that lifted or are the fox shocks just a factory OEM direct replacement.
FIRE CONTENT!!!! 🔥💯😁
Thank you!!
Is there a place in the Republic of California, 925 7 1, an does this beast go over 97mph?
Why do you need to go over 97 in a Jeep, they built for 4x4 not for rice rocketing racing.
Is that super charming kit for 3.6 pentastar engine? And how it's charming fuel consumption?
Better MPG.
What axle ratio on that one? I have the max tow package with 410 axle. Thoughts on how that Magnuson would work with my setup. On 35s.
Max Tow, Rubicon and Mojave all run the same axle and gear sets. Only differences are OEM lockers on Rubi/Mojave.
I have a manual gladiator sport s all stock (3.73 gears) I'm looking for an improvement in my towing capacity. Would you recommend this? I need low end grunt. Truck is at 2000rpm in 5th at 65mph
I'm looking at getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit 2021. Are there superchargers for this model?
Is this system available for the 2004 jeep wrangler Rubicon with the manual transmission
Currently Magnuson only carries a kit for the JK and JL Wranglers
Apologies for the dumb question but is this an alternative to regearing after installing 37s or bigger? If that is the case I can see myself doing it...
Hey Martin, not sure if this is a direct alternative as they both have their own purposes! But you can never go wrong with more power from a supercharger! Thank you for watching.
Anytime you get 37s you always change gears.
Great job, how much is in labor ?
Is it street legal in Ca
Hi! Are you asking how much it costs in labor, or how difficult it is to install?
What are the long term numbers of running a supercharger?
3 years later... How is this S.C. holding up? Is it still installed? Any engine issues?
Non time to buy one!
Does it come with pulleys to change boost also who does the tuning because that’s a major component
In order to get Magnuson warranty you must use a certified Magnuson Installer and the Magnuson tune that comes with it
I know this is an old video post I’m hoping you get this message I’m curious how did the Engine hold up over the years? I know the Penstar engine is not the strongest but in stock form it’s OK, is there anyway you could give me an update on this this might be a good way to go if it’s reliable thanks for the video
Need to get it done to mine. Just added 35's How much and does it cost ? kill the factory Warranty ?
Link in description for price. Magnuson gives u 3 year powertrain warranty
Does this require a stand alone ECU? Also, I may have missed it but what kind of boost? Any concerns on ringlands, rods or pistons holding up to the new stressors or did y’all forge it out?
No they include ecu tuning which has been thoroughly tested
Why headlights are those? My 21 overland didn’t come with the ones with the ring
