Turbocharged Hemi Turns Stock Dodge Challenger SRT Turns Into A Sleeper - Horsepower S14, E2

A HorsePower first! Mike and Joe bring in a new Dodge Challenger to turbocharge its 6.1 liter Hemi engine. It's all done without any cutting or modification of the factory car. The result is a "sleeper" that wakes the neighborhood when it runs on the chassis dyno.

[@prototype_0xD1]

This kit got be worth a pretty penny. I love the amount of engineering that went into it. Awesome

finally a real man's muscle car! not gm and not ford 👍👍

I give my conscent! Rex is a caracther, by himself! I'm glad you guys brougth him to this episode. Hope I see him more often. The knowledge, the knowledege, this old man has/had/have, is out of this world. Just looking at him.

[@robwalsh5752]

The hemi has a tight ring gap stock. You don't need pistons you just need to ring it and gap the rings for boost. They damage pistons with boost because the ring gap takes them out. Then you can push them real hard. This is also a steel bottom end 6.1 not a cast 5.7 or 6.4....

[@leonelbravojr2294]

Is steel bottom end better or weaker than cast iron?

[@raybland7990]

With all those mods, I will not be happy with anything less than 800+ hp at the wheels ❤️👍

[@larryw5429]

Ya and if you didn't file the ring gap and lower the compression the rods and pistons would qualify as astronauts!!

[@ChrisPBacon-pb6kq]

He said that it's new so its tuned to only 4 lbs of boost and I agree; they need better tires and rims to get as much power to the wheels as possible

[@moedigzz]

Should make 800+ whp on pump e85. It would be plenty safe with a stock short block.

[@inverted311]

“Twin Turbos, capable of 25lbs each! But we are only going to run 5.” 🤔

[@djdiheheidifhdhdje261]

You have to put different piston rings in if you want to run a lot of boost because they will grenade the engine if you don’t.

[@Bozemanjustin]

Okay they've hit a new low. Let's spend a metric ass ton on parts to only run 4 lb of boost on twin turbos. I know they love to achieve the smallest amount of power for the largest amount of dollar input on this channel.. but this is the coup de gras. Then they have the audacity to brag that the turbos are worth 1100 horsepower.. but you're using them to a fraction of their potential , so what does it matter what they are worth. No one on Earth would go to that expenditure to use four PSI.... It's not even an effective commercial for their products, like we understand your program is. Imagine the movie Smokey and the bandit if the car couldn't do a burnout, but Burt Reynolds looked right into the camera and said, man imagine if this thing could do a burnout.

[@MrDJSkeptik]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one... I was like, less than 500, on twins? That is sad. Then when He said 4lbs, I was FLOORED. That is so freaking dumb. How lame. As per history, these guys were pitching a product.

Would be like doing a commercial for a hair salon and every woman that walks out their hair is just frizzy and tattered like they've been asleep for 3 days

[@9891Daniels]

How does it keep crud and Debree out of the turbo intake being under the car? even if it has a filter it would get beat up by rocks and stuff , no?

[@darttoyou1398]

Dump those mufflers, after turbos? Resonators will suffice more than needed. Probably still quieter than stock with aftermarket exhaust.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

It's cool to see y'all doing one with an SRT, instead of an RT like so many do because there's a lot more of them and didn't make nearly as many SRTs. This vid caught my attention, we've actually been building the exact same year with the 6.1 and is running close to the same numbers as 392s with basic bolt ons..(accept for headers). Although, they are next and am thinking that I will go with kooks longtubes for the win. Have done some weight reduction though and shaved off almost 100 lbs by changing rims to 17s, together with MT street SS and improved its x, s. Also replaced the heavyass stock exhaust and am running 3" with open chamber racing bullets & isn't much to them. It also just has a 91 octane CAI canned tune by diablosport, and is pretty darn quick for naturally aspirated n stock guts. Also got a Braille racing battery and is around 50 lbs less than stock, so l'm thinking that its close to around 3850 lbs total and feel so much better. The 08-10 SRTs are 4140 and the newer ones are about 4300-4400 with the 6 piston brembos etc, instead of 4 like mine

everyone wants a sleeper. underpowered car turned into a powerful car. just look at the v6 owners. some of them see a v6 doing 400+ hp on a dyno and think there is hope. hope for what? you bought the damn thing. live with it. you want a better engine get a better engine. they dont know about what goes into beefing up an engine. new fuel injectors, new lifters, new rods, new cam new rear diff, the rear diff on most v6's put power to 1 wheel. racing a beefed up engine you need to replace the axel, brakes, joints, i am no mechanic but i do know to buy the right car the first time.

"The replacement plugs have a solid core that can handle a lot more heat." Just pulling stuff out of your butt? What were you trying to say? You just said a nonsense statement. Did you mean they are copper core plugs? A colder heat range? There are such things as solid core spark plug wires, but that is irrelevant to this setup.
