Vortech Supercharger V-3 Si-Trim System & Charge Cooler - Black (2009-2010 Challenger R/T 5.7L Manual) 4CL218-044L
Black V-3 Si-Trim Charge-Cooled Supercharger System for 2009-2010 Challenger R/T 5.7L
The Vortech V-3 Si-Trim Complete Supercharger System with Charge Cooler (PN 4CL218-044L) is a fully engineered, 50-State emissions-legal performance upgrade for the 2009-2010 Dodge Challenger R/T equipped with the 5.7L HEMI and manual transmission. This complete, bolt-on system delivers massive gains in horsepower and torque while maintaining OEM-level drivability and reliability.
At the factory redline, this system boosts a stock Challenger R/T to an impressive 492 horsepower and 489 lb-ft of torque with 8 PSI of boost using 91-octane fuel. The package includes Vortech's advanced air-to-water, dual-pass Charge Cooler for consistent power delivery and reduced inlet air temperatures.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
This system utilizes Vortech's V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger, featuring a patented oil control system and state-of-the-art compressor stage developed in Vortech's SAE J1723-compliant supercharger test cell. With an industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency, the V-3 Si-Trim generates less heat, reduces parasitic loss, and produces more usable power compared to lower-efficiency alternatives.
The self-lubricated design eliminates the need for engine oil feed and drain lines, simplifying installation and improving long-term durability. Vortech systems also weigh significantly less than many competing supercharger designs.
Integrated Charge Cooling System
The included air-to-water, dual-pass Charge Cooler features a closed-loop cooling system with a stand-alone pump, reservoir, and front-mounted heat exchanger. This configuration increases air density under boost, allowing the system to safely maintain power output during repeated acceleration and extended driving conditions.
