I review the New RAM 3.0 Liter Inline-6 TWIN TURBO Hurricane Engine coming out in 2023. I talk about the pros and cons of this new engine as a heavy duty mechanic for ram 1500 trucks and ram 2500 trucks. I also share some details about the potential new engine and talk about the horsepower ratings for both the low and high output version of this new hurricane engine. very exciting stuff, but this could be the end of production for the 5.7 hemi engine.



I hope everyone is having a great week! I figured I would dive into what this new speculated inline 6 twin turbo engine is all about. So i did some research and figured I would share my opinions on this new Chrysler engine platform.

Unfortunately I think the rumors are true in that the 5.7 hemi and potentially the 6.4 hemi are going to stop being made and this engine will be their replacement. now there will two version of this potential new 3.0 liter engine.

the low output version will pump out around 400 horsepower with 425 torques. it will run a cast aluminum block and head, dual over head cam with direct injection, so it wont be a slow engine at all and very comparable to the current v8 hemi. this is a twin turbo set up and can run with about 22 psi of boast. these engine also have the benefit of being an unsquared engine meaning that they will be able to produce torque very easily with the long crank throw leading to a nice mechanical advantage.

the high output version of the shares much of the low out engine but will have bigger turbos with more boast (26 psi). most importantly the internals will 100% forged meaning this engine will be able to take a beating. as well as larger water to air cooler and heavier duty oil pumps and fueling system this engine will put out north of 500 Horsepower which is impressive for only a 3.0L engine. the major downside is that you will have to run 91 octane fuel aka premium fuel which really sucks.

So do I like the idea of Chrysler replacing the hemi with these engines? it's tough to tell at this point but I do think there are pros and cons.

first pro is the tunability of these new engines. I bet people can make big power out of these inline 6 engines with a simple tune which an naturally asperated V8 cannot.

the other thing is these are inline 6 engines meaning they will produce torque very easily and will be able to pull nicely.

fuel economy is claimed to 15% better then the 5.7 hemi. But I have my doubts

now here is what concerns me in a nut shell. the fuel economy numbers will have to be confirmed in the real would. but the fact that the high out put version will have to use premium fuel basically voids any savings at all on fuel for the consumer which makes no sense. reliability is a concern. the 5.7 hemi was not a perfect engine but it was a decent unit and was a pretty simple style of engine. whereas these twin turbo engines will have a lot of extra componentry and well as having to run very precisely having over 20 Psi of boast shoved into the engine. the most obvious one is the sound, ram not having that loud v8 in their trucks is just going to be a shame and that inline 6 is going to be heavily muffled by those turbos which will give it a dull sound in my opinion.

anyways guys I hope you liked this video and I can't wait to get my hands on this new engine!
