I called Arrington in 2017 and asked about putting a Hellcat blower on my 6.1 SRT8 Challenger Super Track Pack car and he basically told me it was the wrong course of action. Honestly the Hellcat Blower makes any MOPAR a Hellcat!!! Boring out a 6.4 or 6.1 to 440CI, forging the bottom end would definitely be worth it with a Hellcat blower on top. I'm 100% interested!

      Mopar doesn't build the adapter because it's not a good idea. You're putting too much power to a weaker block that does not have enough strength. Mopar engineers have already thought about that. And concluded it was a bad idea.

  • @SouthernMan6865
    @SouthernMan6865 Před 3 lety +55

    I've researched long and hard on pros/cons of doing this to my '16 Challenger SRT. Conclusion: In stock form, the 6.4 Hemi is a great engine that lasts and serves hundreds of thousand miles. But, the stock 6.4 is by design not built for boost and pushing more power. The stock bottom end is not good for that. The pistons are not forged and there is not enough meat between the ring lands and the top of the piston. Also, the exhaust manifold may twist from overheat and burst the studs of its fastening. So, it's not like GM's LS series that is more forgiving.

    • @ryanc2927
      @ryanc2927 Před rokem +3

      It’s safer on a 6.4 than it would be on a 5.7 - all the cooling needed on a smaller engine is paramount. Also why go with a roots blower on top of the manifold when you could go w a procharger Thats separate from it all (as a trade off for the heat soak)...?

    I saw a guy who did this to his charger rt. He said that because it took more turns for the driveshaft to rotate the wheel once, it took less effort for the car to move off the line - thus making the car feel lighter off start and pulling harder (and with what youve done to your charger, you will definitely feel it). And he got better city gas mileage in the city. However he got 2 downsides. He got worse gas mileage on the highway for obvious reasons. And because he didnt tune the computer to accept the 3.09 rear, if he was going 30 mph but compared it to a stock charger with the 2.62 rear going 30 mph, the 2.62 rear equipped charger would outrun him - even tho on both chargers, they both read 30 mph on the screen. They both tested it on cruise control). Solook out for that so the computer can register the 3.09 rear change

    It's a great option and cheaper than going with an aftermarket setup, however, I keep thinking to myself when you factor in costs like upgrading the driveline parts and the transmission to keep up with bigger power numbers and maintain longevity, it makes more financial sense to just eventually upgrade to a Hellcat. The only downside is it takes all the fun out of it, building is cooler than buying.

    @hu3.789 Před 4 lety +3

    I like the idea of doing it. If one is going to pay for the installation, it would most likely be cost prohibitive. As mentioned in the video, there is customization involved. The installation for a kit designed for the 5.7 such as the Edelbrock e-force or a centrifugal supercharged would typically cost about $1,500 including tuning. Customization would increase the cost significantly. Injectors aren't included as part of the kit. Better cooling fans might be required. My Procharger kit included upgraded cooling fans. The transmission on the R/T is only rated at about 516 foot pounds of torque. From a practical stand point, one is better off using a kit that was made for the car rather than buying a Hellcat supercharger and adapting it for the 5.7. If I weren't willing to upgrade to a Hellcat transmission, I would probably go with the centrifugal kit for the R/T.

    • @RTLife

    • @hu3.789
      @hu3.789 Před 2 lety +2

      @@dustinwales3038 - I wouldn't go for a turbo kit on an R/T. Turbos provide peak torque at low RPM which puts more strain on the rest of the drivetrain. However, you give up something with a supercharger because you have parasitic losses. You take power from the engine to drive it as opposed to a turbo when the exhaust is used to drive it. When it comes to superchargers, it depends on how you want to make power. A centrifugal supercharger will make more power at high RPM because it is more efficient. The positive displacement supercharger will build boost more quickly so you will get better initial throttle response and better low end and midrange power. In terms of quarter mile performance both superchargers are about the same. If you like the centrifugal, go with a Procharger. If you like the positive displacement, go with the Edelbrock E-force. The Procharger is a little easier on the drivetrain and the Edelbrock makes the R/T a little more fun to drive. I give a slight edge to the Edelbrock E-Force on a Mopar. On a Mustang GT, I would choose the Procharger.

    That would be an awesome set up for the car. I noticed on the MMX website they have it listed for the 6.1 Hemi, but I thought it was only designed for the 5.7 or 6.4 Hemis? Do you know if anyone has tried it for a 6.1 Hemi yet? I have an 07 SRT and it would be nice if it could go on there. Awesome channel and thanks for the videos.

      I haven't seen this on a 6.1 but based on their website, it can fit. Not many have this done yet - very new.

    Reminds me of the days we were taking Cobra blowers and putting them on 2v 4.6l GT

    Would I have to add performance internals like pistons and etc?

      I was thinking about getting the Mopar Scat Pack stages but I’m thinking of just getting aftermarket stuff, I wanna make 500 horse power out of my 5.7, all naturally aspirated, do you know how I can make that possible? Might be an idea for a whole new video 😅

      Hemi’s just cost too much to build compared to the LS or mustang platforms..the LS is the best motor period $ for $ ..I’d never chance blowing a stock Hemi..buying a used hellcat 6.2 or e car is just a better investment

    I have a 2007 Ram 1500 SLT and am thinking about tricking it out with new cam, new ported and polished heads and like the idea of the supercharger. Adding a lift kit, new exhaust system, revamped interior and paint. I know its a little over the top for this vehicle but i love my truck. I am 63 years old and in my youth owned 3 cars I should have never sold, a 69 Hemi Roadrunner i bought from my dad then ran the piss out of it, the second was a 71 Swinger with 340 six pack (had it for 6 months before selling it for twice what i paid for it) and the last was a 71 Charger 500 with a 383. Finally got some time and money and want to be a motor head again. Can only do so much to my Harley!
