Turbo OVER Supercharger? Why

Supercharged or Twin-Turbo V8 Hemi? Most Supercharge their 5.7L 345 or 6.4L 392 with 2.9 Whipple, Magnuson 2300 or use Hellcat Supercharger. Doing a Turbo or Twin-Turbo is much less common for these V8 Hemi's & there is a reason why. Let's talk about why a Twin-Turbo setup will be going onto the Charger 6.5L 397 & not a Supercharger. Many have been looking into the Arrington Twin-Turbo or Hellion Sleeper Twin-Turbo Over Some of the Supercharger options available for these V8 Hemi's.

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

@@RTLife Should be fine. I was wondering because Amsoil stays less viscous at a lower temperature but doesn't break down at high temps. It is a bit more than Mobil 1. If you start missing any on the dipstick ask Jannetty or RZT about it.

@@RTLife check project farms video on oils, you may change your mind about Mobil 1. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best, and recommended by SRT. Either way any name brand oil will do fine but it makes me feel better knowing the oil in my car is 2% better than the rest lol

Hey RT this is what your channel is about . Building a RT . Yes you can buy a hellCat But part of this whole sport/ hobby is to take a car that’s stock and bulid it the why you want it. When I was a kid and got my 73 charger it had a 318 in it . I did headers a 550 lift cam -? holy 650 bbl pump carburetor. With ram air . It was my bulid . And I had so much fun doing it .

[@SRTCAT]

Slowly but surely. You can simply upgrade what needs to be done by order of priority. Most people want everything done at once only to realize that they have to work backwards now due to all the adjustments, to make the build function at it's maximum potential. Love the build fam it might cost a bit more but at least you would have accomplished what you wanted in the beginning wich was to build your own rather than buying a finished product . I went the other route after your video on "should you build a 392 or buy a Hellcat?" 1 week later I sold my Green Go SRT 392 and purchased a Hellcat instead. That video was a real game changer for me! Will keep watching ads and supporting the channel. Love the R/T 397 it will be a beast.🤙🏼💯

@@RTLife You're welcome brother.

[@_E_B_]

Don't believe what some people say about turbo lag. There are several things you can do to "defeat" the lag. For one...you can have the turbocharger(s) closer to the engine. And two...if you are working with a good mechanic that really knows turbos...the degree of the impeller can make a huge difference as well. Both of these examples...look at the audi, bmw, Mercedes twin turbo v8 setups...they make peak torque at like 1500 rpm...and hold a flat torque curve till about 5k rpm and start to taper or fall there but by that time the hp is picking up near its peak and keeps on going.

They all are great forms of boost but all for different purposes and motors. They all are consistent, all are generally reliable. The reason mopar went with a pd for the hellcats and racing, was torque. These motors are built for torque. Either way really awesome to see the build coming along.

They went with superchargers for the NA sound. They know their audience. Torque means nothing if you can’t hook.

[@Mikes05Hemi]

Stock injectors? When you are ready for a fuel system I would recommend you talk to Rick at Tapped Performance. I just installed 2 of his return style systems on mine and my wife's cars. His wiring harness really simplified the installation and looks like it came from the factory. If you decide you want to run methanol let me know. I have a 55 gallon drum I'll give you if you pay for shipping. We've converted to E85 so the meth is just sitting in my shop. The build looks really nice. You'll have a lot of fun once you learn to drive a turbo car.

Got mine back from OST Dyno with the Whipple on Tues the 25th. Very please with the car, how it runs and drive.

I know you asked me to keep you updated. Your car is just badass.

[@DJGRoc]

I've been telling you all along that you need to upgrade the rest of your drivetrain, as well as your brakes. Highly recommend DSS for the driveshaft & axles. Love my 1-piece CF shaft. Also recommend either R1 Concepts it Baer for brake kits. I know the Brembo's are nice, but they're more expensive.

I think you're going about it in a reasonable way. Build the engine first so you don't blow it up and have to yank all the stuff off to rebuild it. Then add some easily adjustable power and as you buy the upgraded components you can dial up more power.
