Dodge Hurricane Engine Patent

Looks like the turbo is casted into the head on this new patented version of the Hurricane engine which reduces space and cost, but not sure how this one will play out.

    Went to class last year on it. The turbo isn't cast into the head. They are using a cast in manifold which then the turbo bolts to the head or both turbos. We’ve only seen 2 come in off the transport so far. Not a lot yet. So we will see.


    The hurricane engine you were trained on was most likely a production version as this new head is not in production yet.


    Yes, that sounds like a new design. Probably be awhile before it sees production.
  • Great….so now I gotta go buy a Hellcat before the price of them goes even further thru the roof…..I was having a good day until I read that article…lol.

    You must have fallen asleep. The patent drawings show a cylinder head with the housing as one. Good luck with that!
