- This is my new 2018 Jeep Renegade. I am showing you two great budget mods that make a big difference in performance, torque, fuel economy, as well as overall drivability. Please watch, subscribe, and share.
Cold air intakes are awesome, and a good cheap performance mod...problem is without protection its just sucking the heat from ur engine and that's counter productive
if you don't have a heat shield wall around that cone filter its a hot air intake. its not locking diffs fyi.
Yes it is does have locking diffs. Not in auto, but any of the snow, sand, mud modes -_-
Brake lock Diffs.
Sounds great. As long as you didn't void the warranty, it's a good budget upgrade. The stock intake is designed to keep hot air and water from getting in. It's still a Jeep. It's going to get wet. You should consider building that air filter into a snorkel system. Also, it doesn't have locking diffs. It uses a brake based traction control system to change which wheels get power. You can tell because it doesn't do that frog hopping thing around tight corners like trucks do when diffs are locked.
They made them in the US starting with 2015.
Feeding Hot air can't be good overall! There's a reason auto manufacturer engineers isolate air intakes the way they do!, I'd like to see a dyno test before & after! I'd like to see because I have a 16 Rene trailhawk.
Sigh. Do people just not understand the concept of a filter sitting in a hot engine bay? That setup is NOT going to better the performance.
It would be a lot better if he ran the air filter to the cab, nice cold air conditioned air
The K&N filter is a significantly worse setup than factory... shoulda just gotten a K&N drop in filter and kept the stock airbox that keeps your temps lower and offers you fording protection
Bad idea dude. I made this mistake on a Subaru I used to own. Hot air = word performance. Not to mention the ECM is going to need recalibrating with that mod. I see the comments aren't positive and I completely agree with all of them. Also, oil that filter.....
I have a feeling that intake box is going back in there before too long....
I straight piped my 17. Sounds perfect, but back fires every so often.
Is yours a 2.4 or the turbo model?
Need heat shield and cover to get more performance and grab more cool air
Thank you for sharing this mod. I have the same renegade only it’s a limited. Same thing. I will be doing this soon. Just a heads up too, i think you may need to oil your k&n filter. Good job with mod and keep on wrenching
Nice!! I have a yellow 2017. Got magnaflow exhaust with dual pipes put in at a local shop. I like the look, but your Jeep sounds better. Thank you for the help on the K n N filter. Need to buy that next.
I like it bud ive got an 18 sport with the 1.4l turbo and the 6 speed solar yellow its pretty fun. With time and money id love to do some mods to it.
Tried like hell to find the manual model. Not a single one within 200miles of me for sale.
I've the sunset yellow sport limited edition 1.6 tdi manual I'm also in the UK
Yeah I have the same engine on my Cherokee Trailhawk the intake is super loud when you do that I did the same thing.
Fernley? I'm in Carson city with a 2018 renegade sport
Check out my mods on same engine ! That's how it done the right way lol !
I would highly recommend reinstalling your factory air box as it draws air in from Grille.

Do you have a link to where to purchase that exhaust?
nice job, just got a 2020 Renegade. Cant wait to start modding it up
Wheres the mass air flow sensor?
In the box LOL
That what I was thinking I hope they design it better
renegade do NOT have locking diffs, they are wide open
Turn playback speed to 1.25x
You’re welcome
Dope swords…
It doesn't have front and rear locking.... It's not a mechanical lock...
I’m no mechanic but do we have to change out the oil from that rear crank case thing for the 4 x 4 renegades like on Jeep wranglers. I’m assuming they call it crank case?? I think I saw it in your video silver color and it looks nothing like what wranglers have. Or is it called differential case etc? I heard that if you go through high waters you should change the oil in that case. I think I saw a drain hole in your video while you showed the exhaust installation areas. Btw your upgrades seem like a lot of work lol. Can you do it for me instead? Lol. I have a 2015 Jeep renegade trailhawk. I researched upgrades like yours and I heard mostly we shouldn’t do anything like this. I would like to beef up my little guy though. I’m just wondering why that crank case or differential case doesn’t looks like what wrangler have and the renegade is a 4 x 4 so it should have it right? It doesn’t hang low to the ground like on wranglers. You usually can see it when you are on the road. And on my renegade I can’t. Like I said I’m no mechanic or know the terms etc. I’m just reacting to what I heard about high water and we should change the oil etc. in your video I think I spotted that case thing. I havent seen it on my renegade the few times I looked under. I must have missed it. Thanks for the video fellow renegade owner.
Crank case is inside the motor. Are you talking about a transfer case? Rene is more of an AWD setup no 2 speed transfer case like in a wrangler
hot air intake... derp
the radius-es are not 2.5 you can see the inside of the bends where its crimped for lack of a better term
James Flores drive your car for 20 plus minutes, open the hood, feel the heat. No getting around it. Might as well make more efficiency from it all.
yeah there is getting around it... grabbing air from outside the engine bay... through the inner fender (which is how most cars do it )
air has a pretty poor thermal efficiency (which is why a/w inter coolers yield cooler air vs an a/a inter cooler) as it travels through the intake (for an old school 350 at peak hp) at 300 fps it wont pick up heat
think when you pinch a candles flame and lift up... you dont get burned because not enough heat transfers for you to feel it
now hot air is less dense so less air going is less fuel needed for stoichiometry the less fuel you use in theory... unless you compensate for the decrease in power with more throttle
James Flores the factory cool air duct is still there, I just added a free flowing air filter. Look at my video of the 2014 f150 on the dyno with my intake and exhaust. Makes way more power at the rear wheels than even f150 ecoboosts. With even more mods than mine. 392 rwhp and 526 rwtq.
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll dyno the jeep.its not pulling air from outsode the engine bay, its pulling hotter less dense air and getting less oxygen to burn, therefore less power.just build a box or heat sheilding
It's not a FIAT-engine like you stated, it's a GEMA Chrysler engine...which was fe. also used by Chrysler in the SRT-4 Caliber ;-)
No...no it's not
Not to go off topic but, is that a buick GN and an old Z car I saw in your garage ?
yes
Wow in addition to currently owning a Renegade, I used to own those 2 cars too.
But did the mpg improve? If so how much?
I saw 2 Z cars
Can I get a link to these products?
K&N filters are terrible. Yours isn't oiled either. Good luck!
My favorite CZcams channel!!! Keep up the great videos brother.
You can't take off with a screwdriver so you took it off with a screwdriver....
Did it void your factory warranty?
Always ask your specific dealer first. Every place is different. The way I set it up, it is real easy to take off the K&N, install the stock filter in the lower box, then install the top filter cover, tighten the clamp, and done.
I hate to admit it but just buy a k&n kit with the heat shield and all that cause this is just no lol its like 300 but its very worth it they think of everything
also you need an aluminum tube so this did nothing really but hurt things
Plastic intake tubes are better than aluminum just so you know. But this is still sucking in hot air.
Theres a small ram type fitting is a little cooler. Its only cold air when its cold outside.
Now add a gas shock to your hood for easy open.
I can hear the engine exploding
fyi its not an suv its a small crossover
Your intake is just sucking in hot air and that’s a very cheap and crap muffler because anybody with real love for there car would buy a borla muffler.
So you voided yout warentee
