Vortech Tuner Kit w/ V-3 Si-Trim & Charge Cooler - Polished (2006-2008 6.1L SRT8 HEMI Cars) 4CL218-138L
Polished V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 6.1L SRT8 HEMI Vehicles
The Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit (PN 4CL218-138L) is a high-performance centrifugal supercharger package engineered for 2006-2008 Chrysler and Dodge SRT8 vehicles equipped with the 6.1L HEMI. Finished in a show-quality polished appearance, this tuner kit pairs Vortech's advanced V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger with an air-to-water, dual-pass charge cooler system, providing maximum flexibility for custom tuning and high-output engine combinations.
This tuner configuration is ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders who want full control over fueling, ignition timing, and boost levels. It delivers the hardware foundation needed for aggressive performance goals while retaining Vortech's proven reliability and efficiency.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents continued development from Vortech's engineering lab. The "Si" designation stands for improved, incorporating a patented oil control system and a state-of-the-art centrifugal compressor stage. With an industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723), the V-3 Si generates less heat, reduces parasitic drive loss, and delivers more usable power while enhancing long-term durability.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Tuner kits include the complete supercharger and charge cooler hardware but are supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This allows experienced tuners to select injectors, fuel pumps, and calibration strategies tailored to specific engine builds and performance objectives.
For applications requiring sustained boost operation, such as road racing, Vortech also offers V-2 series superchargers that share the engine's oiling system and allow the addition of external oil cooling and filtration.
