Poor Man's Hellcat Ep10: Turbocharger Is IN!

[@mikep.473]

I can’t wait to hear the first start up

[@ReignitedAuto]

You and me both!

[@wesleymyers8205]

Do an eagle talon TSI style bump in the hood to make clearance.

[@ronbo422]

Sky, you should have those exhaust components ceramic coated. I used Finish Line Coatings, in Milwaukee, OR, and they did an amazing job on my BBC headers. Give it a thought. 😜

[@glenmiller3783]

Nice work on a bunch of complicated parts

[@shonuff3494]

Great fab work!!! A lot of people don't understand how difficult it is, building a turbo set up with limited space. There's quite a few things to take into consideration. Especially, when it comes to the size of that turbo. I am, however, curious to see what the IAT's will be when finished. Keep up the amazing work.

[@ReignitedAuto]

I'm figuring somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000,000f 😄

[@shonuff3494]

@@ReignitedAuto Noooooo lol

[@ReignitedAuto]

@@shonuff3494 I'm thinking of adding meth injection, but that's just one more complication. We'll see!

[@shonuff3494]

@@ReignitedAuto I know it's more complicated, but I recently had a meth injection setup installed. It's definitely worth it. For simplification, just run washer fluid instead of boost juice. Readily available and cheaper. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks my man!

Beautiful work and design:)

[@ReignitedAuto]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@leeperry1999]

Wow! Now things get interesting.

[@s.b.r.colorado]

Looking great man! Been catching up on videos. Been busy I see! 🤙🤙

[@theweekendwarrior6355]

Why not mount the turbo under the car like the Hellion sleeper turbi kits.

[@ReignitedAuto]

There's definitely more room for twins down there, but a big single turbo definitely not. Although the primary reason is I wanted both the supercharger and turbocharger visible in the engine bay. 👍

[@theweekendwarrior6355]

@@ReignitedAuto makes perfect sense if that's what you were going for. But if you want a hood that closes, you can always go for the hidden twin turbo set up. Is a cool build either way been enjoying watching it.

[@ozysniper]

Just a question, but with going separate exhaust banks feeding a twin scroll turbo won't you need 2 wastegates?

[@ReignitedAuto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32ng4RrirqbpZY in this latest video you can see how I went about it. Technically yes it would be best to use dual wastegates, but I figured that with the single wastegates where it is I shouldn't get too much crossover. I'm not married to the twin scroll concept either because even though I have the banks separated, too be truly twin scroll I should have paired certain cylinders together. As it is there's probably plenty of exhaust turbulence already 😄

[@ozysniper]

@@ReignitedAuto sorry mate, I just watched it and yes you over came it.. nice work!😁👍 love your channel ❤️

[@SketchyGarage901]

Almost looks factory I need a single turbo kit hot side like that !

[@josephbradley-waiwood5954]

Could you show how you will run the turbo oil feed lines? Doing a turbo 5.7 now and not sure where and how to run the oil feed yet. Thanks!

[@ReignitedAuto]

That's coming up in a few weeks! The feed will be coming from where the oil pressure sensor is, and the return will be going straight back to the oil pan. 👍

[@big3fan916]

Isn't it going to run lean without injector bosses and injectors ?

[@ReignitedAuto]

I'm getting one of those garden sprayers, going to operate it while driving 😄

Excellent vid man, thanks for taking us along with you on your journey. Your like the Hemi Dr Frankenstein. 👍

[@Rrottweiler]

RWDs has so much room at front suspension vs AWDs 😐 I was thinking to install turbo under that tray, front of tire and behind bumper. Do you think you could fit ur´s there, or not enough room?

[@Slagtrap]

Nice work! Just a suggestion, when purging you need to have an actual “outlet” for the argon to exhaust from. It’s not only that there’s argon on the backside it also needs to flow or exchange old for new gas so there isn’t any oxygen trapped in there. Another thing is even though there are gaps in the joints when they are eventually sealed up there will be internal pressure building up, this can and will blow out puddles if it gets high enough.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Right you are, I didn't mention I drilled a small hole in one of the exhaust valves to let the argon flow 👍

[@matthewperry7812]

You got a lot of work done! Looks great 👍

[@ReignitedAuto]

It's a shame when three weekends of work = 1 video 😭😄

[@ewconway]

Um, this maybe a very stupid question, but why are you installing both a Super-Charger and Turbo-Charger on this engine? Doesn’t each piece basically performs similar functions with compressed intake air flow? Sorry if this question sounds dumb….

[@ReignitedAuto]

Not a stupid question at all Eric, more like a stupid idea! 😄 in theory the roots style supercharger will do two things, provide boost at lower rpm before the turbo catches up, and two, it has the effect of making the engine seem larger displacement than it actually is. This means there will be a higher volume of air flowing through it, which will spin the turbo faster. This is the theory, but in actuality it would probably be more efficient with just the turbocharger, since at higher rpm the supercharger will essentially become a restriction in the intake. The truth is, all the added complexity of doing both is likely not worth any real benefit, I've just always wanted to do it. 😄

[@ewconway]

@@ReignitedAuto Thank you for the explanation. I kind of understand what you are saying…… either way, you want to install both and that is the goal. Go for it 👍

[@MrOsfaso]

Job well done so far 👏 👍 👌 I'm excited for the end results

[@shannonlewis3687]

If this is a 2013 motor, what have you done to address the different reluctor ring (32 vs 58 tooth).

[@ReignitedAuto]

I'll be using HP tuners on this build, the plan is to change the trigger wheel settings in the tune. I'm not 100% sure I can do that, but i think I can 😄

[@shannonlewis3687]

@Reignited - Cycle and Automotive I very interested to see. I have a 12' vvt I would like to put in an 08' charger, but all my research shows you either have to change the tone ring or the ecm.

[@joeperry8518]

This is a very exciting build! Those pipes look nice 👍

[@ryanwoolfolk8113]

Really curious on the fuel system setup you plan to use, idk what boost numbers you're going for or if you're sticking with pump gas

[@ReignitedAuto]

The plan is currently pump gas. I'm well aware of the benefits of e85, but the drawbacks are too much for me. Planning on using Hellcat injectors with a 400lph fuel pump. Return style fuel system with adjustable regulator. That's the plan so far anyway. Shooting for 650whp with this setup. 👍

[@ryanwoolfolk8113]

Are you going to do episodes on trans or rear end? I'd love to see that, I've been working on a supercharger setup for the same motor and very interested in comparing poor mans boost in those aspects

[@ReignitedAuto]

@Ryan Woolfolk that will definitely be coming down the line. Technically my primary discipline at work is a transmission tech, so I'm ready to build the NAG when necessary 👍

[@ryanwoolfolk8113]

🤩 Very exciting, I'm using the components to the war viking nag from southern hotrod, I'll be watching for the video to come out!

[@taydensmith9219]

Is this a kit you’d be willing to make to sell?

[@tomcooper920]

That turbo is so big! This is an insane set up! Your weeks look so good. You've gotten real good at it in what seems like a short time. Also what is the sled in the back ground? Is it yours? Looks like a good time. If you go out with it you need to post a video of the ride.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Nope, the sled isn't mine it's for a customer I'm making a special modification to it for ergonomics. Ironically I'm just not into the snowmobile thing, which is weird because I like pretty much everything with engines. 🤔

[@tomcooper920]

I understand that. I think they are fun but i think they carry a high cost, and for me, I don't like the cold.

[@ReignitedAuto]

@@tomcooper920 I think you nailed it Tom 😄 I'm not a cold person either!

[@omarortiz2900]

Where did you get the exhaust piping for the turbo? Love the information in your videos! Currently trying to build my own turbo 08 Charger RT and love being able to learn more from your channel!

[@hoodgaming6822]

Hi I have a question,i just bought a Chrysler 300c 2005 from a mechanic.He sold me the car for $500 cause he said it needs an engine,i took the car to my mechanic an i crank the car up gave it gas an white smoke came out,my mechanic said its a gasket problem,no knocking,no,rattling,just white smoke,I would like to know what i should do to a car that's been sitting up for almost 3 years.

[@pierrepoitras1798]

Hey all you reignited nerds(Sky included). Can anyone tell me if 2010 exhaust manifolds/ shortly headers from a challenger will fit on my 2008 5.7 300c? Thank you!

[@The3chordwonder]

Call me crazy, but for some of these turbo installs, the piping looks like a tuba or some other musical instrument! The fab work was really awesome! I'm just curious, how fast do you go through gas when you back purge like that? My harbor freight mig/tig box has a fixed post-flow (Even for mig) and I go through gas like crazy, even if I turn it down to 15cf/h (I usually shoot for 20). I do lots of stitch welding because I'm doing body work. Really looking forward to see this guy come alive. If you are going to return it to stock, are you going to sell the system? I don't have a Magnum, but I bet you one of your subscribers do. Heck, maybe fab up some jigs using the setup you have and then sell complete tubing sets?

[@Daytona-fr7fx]

I'm interested in your opinion, is porting the stock manifold on a 2011-2014 5.7 Hemi worth it? Other mods include 85mm t.b. Flowmaster mufflers, resonator delete, cai, 6.4 exhaust manifolds, and currently diablo tune(it's understood that a ported intake would require more than a canned tune). Thanks, keep the hemi videos coming!

[@captainboose8788]

No. Get a 392 intake manifold with active runners.; 85mm TB is also a waste and not required
