I don't know anywhere in particular to buy the skidplates (or for sure if they fit the diesel ones) - the part numbers are in the video description and I suspect your best bet is to just put those in google or whatever search you use - example the front steel skidplate is 5105236AB and it looks like mymoparparts dot com has them in the USA, would be prohibitive to ship your direction unless you've got the coin to spare. I believe these were also sold in eastern europe and the soviet republic so the parts might come from east of you for a bit less money.

@shoveI
@shoveI 7 күн бұрын
Possible? Sure. So far to my knowledge lots of people have talked about it but nobody has successfully done it. Here's the challenges: The ECU controls both the engine and the transmission, so replacing with an aftermarket ECU would require one that can control the transmission too (unless you have a manual Patriot). As far as I know the ECU is locked and there hasn't been enough demand for an aftermarket manufacturer to bypass it like on Wranglers and Rams. Another difficulty is that the transmissions on these cars probably wouldn't enjoy a long life behind turbo power. I'm not saying it can't be done but I think most people just don't feel like it's worth the effort for an appliance car. If I was real set on having a powerful Patriot I'd probably look into buying a wrecked Dodge Journey V6 and powertrain swap since they're both built on the same platform and later model Journeys got pentastars.

The New Edge axles have a different size lower control arm bushing/bolt, so it is necessary to use lower control arms from the donor vehicle or buy aftermarket arms made for a New Edge. Uppers are the same, and most of the time it is better to use stock upper arms (they have enough flex built in to not damage the torque boxes on the chassis) . Everything else is 100% direct. If you're doing this on a V6 you can also choose to include the quad shocks and quad shock brackets, that's up to you. You'll need the bolts for the quad shocks, the captive nuts are already in your chassis. It's also necessary if you change gear ratio to correct your speedometer for the new ratio, for a manual (any engine) or a 5.0 auto that just means changing the gear in the VSS on the transmission (ten minutes, about 20 dollars) . For a 3.8 or 4.6 auto it requires an electronic correction box that's still easy but costs a bit more.

Hello. I was one of the original Ford engineers on the SN95 who worked on the hood and other body components of the 1994 vehicle. I can tell you they where designed for pure looks and no functionality. I believe there was a small hole (about an inch in dia.) in the hood beam under the scoop to give the impression of flow-through. I think for 94 there was a little flapper valve installed to allow are to come out only because there was some concern of water getting in and getting into electrical components on the top of the hood. There as no actual testing to see if air flowed one way or another. The conventional wisdom at the time as there is a dead-zone due to laminar air flow just above the surface of the hood that causes a vacuum. That is why drag cars lift a scoop above the hood, to get into the air stream. Another fun-fact about the SMC (Plastic) hood was there was a problem with the lack of grounding by using a material other than a conducting metal caused some radio interference to adjacent vehicles. The fix was to bond aluminum foil to the hood blanket and use a ground to body strap from the foil.
@shoveI
@shoveI 18 күн бұрын
Thank you for sharing this! My 1994 has the flapper valves which added to the curiosity. If you don't mind the question, was there any purpose to the scoops or vents behind the doors, into the rear wheel arch? 1994/1995 vented through & later ones did not - but also Toyota Supra from the same years had the same scoops vented to the tire well the same way.

You can get the whole kit from justforjeeps dot com - sorry it looks like an actual link won't work here in the comments. The price there makes some folks squeamish but the way I look at it the first time I really need them they paid for themselves. However that website is nice enough to list the part numbers under the package so you can google the part numbers individually and then search those & try to save some money. The bolts aren't unique, but the little captive nut carriage things are (like a square threaded nut insert thing that presses into a hole in the stamped body sheet metal) . Another thing you can do is check wrecking yards like row52 dot com and car-part dot com , and use the VIN to identify if the jeeps in the yard were factory or dealer equipped with the hooks. That can save you time driving around since only a small percent of these things came with hooks. If you do find one in a wrecking yard be sure to get those captive nuts, you really do need them.

About those hood vents - they're pretty far back on the hood which likely puts them in the area of the high-pressure air at the base of the windshield. That usually means that air would be entering the back of the engine compartment through them, which you don't necessarily want happening due to the increased air pressure at the back reducing the amount of air flowing in through the radiator at the front of the engine bay (makes sense given there's essentially a check valve on one of them to prevent that). The direction of the check valve would indicate they're actually there to help exhaust air from under the hood, right?
@shoveI
@shoveI Ай бұрын
I've considered doing the yarn trick with them, at least on the V6 that doesn't have the check valves. I don't know how easily the perforated grill comes out but if a piece of yarn taped under the hood and dangling out the top stays out, that indicates air is moving outward and if it gets sucked in that indicates air is moving inward. Anecdotally if I'm cruising at 30-60mph on a cool day I can feel a very obvious and consistent pocket of warm air just above the side mirror, but there's no way of telling if that's coming out of the wheel well, the cowl or the hood vent and if I put a piece of tape over the vent it might answer that question... and not be demonstrable for the internet. Being real these vents are probably all super meaningless on a lightly driven car in the first place but most things in life are meaningless if you suck the fun out of them hard enough 😁

Those vents and scoops have an actual purpose, they supply the air for the heater/blower So, what happens when you put one of my very stylish scoop on the vent? Ram air intake in your heater/blower, so when you travel at 100km/h you get breeze through your (only two in the middle of the f-ing dash) with no way to stop it! Great pizza engineering!

V6s in general are and always will be underrated, especially in cars under 3500lbs. Given a decent head casting, you can build any motor to make 1.4-lbft per cubic inch at 10:1 compression on 87 octane gas via proper head work and cam selection, and that motor can be made to rev to around 7000 (as long as the stroke is under 4") and make around 1.2x HP compared to the torque, and it'll do so dead reliable, basically forever, with basic aftermarket bearings and studs unless the rods, crank, and pistons are TRULY garbage, and even then, you'd only need aftermarket hypereutectic pistons and some super basic aftermarket forged rods (cuz I've never heard of aftermarket CAST rods). And TBH a good rule of thumb so you have enough torque is the displacement-to-weight ratio of 1cc per 1 pound of vehicle all up+driver combined weight. So if you have a 3300-pound car and a 200-pound driver, a 3.5L will be the perfect balance for a sports car, especially something that's effortless to drive (power-wise) with controllable fun, particularly for new or skill-lazy spirited drivers. Given the above rules of thumb (derived from over 50 years of engine building experience by David Vizard and 30 years from Cattledog Garage) a 3.5L V6 can, at the bare minimum, give you around 360 crank HP all motor (at 6300rpm, redline around 1000 higher, I'd assume) to work with, when properly built. All you'd need to make that fun is a well-sorted, progressive ratio 5 or 6-speed transmission, decent suspension, and decent 3-season tires.

Or hell, even Ford's own later 3.7 DOHC V6, those things are beasts and can take 15+ pounds unopened, producing 500+ whp when doing so. None of that is really "budget" unless someone is already a skilled engine builder (not an assembler, a true builder) and swapper, but still. If I just wanted to turn an SN95 V6 into a peppy daily I'd do what you said regarding the engine, MAYBE order a custom street cam to David Vizard specs, manual swap it, and then stick whatever rear end gives me 60mph at 2000 in last gear, that way it's neither too long nor too short. (50mph, as some low displacement economy cars are geared for at 2000 in last is another step further you could go, but IMO is the practical limit, as that'll give you only 75 at 3000)
