Bruiser Conversions powerful and fully-tunable LX3 V8 engine and 8-speed conversion for late Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU (2012 – 2018) maintains the functionality of all the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) vehicle systems that were supplied with your vehicle from the factory. All systems that were functional prior to the conversion process will be functional after the conversion has been completed, this includes (but is not limited to): instrument cluster, indicators, gauges, powertrain control systems, cruise control, hill descent mode, tip start, and tap shift. Our system uses an E-38-based computer engineered to flawlessly communicate with both the GM & Jeep components from a dual OBD port system.

Bruiser Conversions provides the one-of-a-kind and only fully tunable LX3 V8 engine and 8-speed conversion for late Jeep Wrangler JK / JKU

Bruiser Conversions’ upgrade option to the strong and efficient 8-speed transmission (8HP70) for the 2012 – 2018 JK/JKU Wrangler is a great upgrade from the factory NAG-1 transmission. The 8HP70 has been used in a wide range of vehicles including the Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300 SRT8, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Dodge Magnum SRT8, and the supercharged Jaguar X308. A performance tuned TCM is provided with each conversion kit.

Why upgrade to the 8 Speed Transmission?

The 8HP70 is a stronger transmission that can handle more power. Another important thing about the 8 speed transmission is shift quality and efficiency. With our tuning, we are able to dial in the shift points of the transmission to maximize the performance coming from the engine in optimal RPM ranges. This can also be beneficial to those who have larger than stock tire sizes!

LT engine conversions have replace the LS engine swap for Jeep Wranglers

GM has released their best small-block V8 yet with the new Gen-V LT engine family! Therefore, the production of old generation GM LS engine blocks has all but halted. The LS3 crate engine from GM Performance is no longer available. No worries! Bruiser Power Solutions has designed, tested, and released the LX3 crate engine, an LT-based engine with port injection using a Gen-IV operating system. It’s a 6.6L torque monster without the tuning and RPM limitations of factory direct injection.

Bruiser Conversions developed this bolt-in V8 engine and 8-speed conversion for late Jeep Wrangler JK for hassle-free integration into your Jeep project!

Integration

Fully Integrated:

The Bruiser Conversions’ LX3 V8 engine and stronger 8-speed conversion for Jeep Gladiator JT maintains the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) functionality of all vehicle safety, comfort, and on-board diagnostic systems. All instruments, indicators, gauges, and powertrain control systems (cruise control, hill descent mode, tip start, and tap shift) will work in the same manner as they did when the vehicle rolled off the assembly line. Factory functions are fully integrated with the Bruiser LX3 V8 engine and stronger 8-speed conversion for Jeep Gladiator JT system.

How do you make it run off of a Chrysler computer?

We start off converting the engine to our own reluctors to communicate with the Chrysler computer. Most of the internal sensors and everything external on the motor that communicates with the ECM are Chrysler based. By doing that, it gave us the capability of maintaining all of the Jeep factory options for the vehicle as if it were coming off the showroom floor.
