Vortech Supercharger V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit & Charge Cooler - Black (2009-2010 Challenger R/T 5.7L Manual) 4CL218-144L
Black V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 5.7L Challenger R/T
The Vortech Supercharger V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit with Charge Cooler (PN 4CL218-144L) is engineered specifically for 2009-2010 Dodge Challenger R/T models equipped with the 5.7L HEMI and manual transmission. This tuner-focused configuration delivers Vortech's highly efficient V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger paired with an air-to-water, dual-pass Charge Cooler system, providing a strong foundation for custom tuning and fuel system strategies.
At a conservative 8 PSI on a stock engine, this system is capable of boosting output to approximately 492 horsepower and 489 lb-ft of torque. Designed for enthusiasts and racers who prefer full control over fueling and calibration, this tuner kit omits fuel system upgrades and ECM tuning, allowing for maximum flexibility.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents a major advancement in Vortech's centrifugal supercharger lineup. Developed through extensive testing in Vortech's SAE J1723-compliant supercharger lab, the V-3 Si features a patented oil control system and a high-efficiency compressor stage capable of achieving up to 78% adiabatic efficiency. Higher efficiency means lower heat generation, reduced parasitic loss, and improved durability under boost.
The self-contained lubrication system eliminates the need for engine oil feed and return lines, simplifying installation and long-term service.
Charge-Cooled Performance
This system utilizes an integrated dual-pass air-to-water Charge Cooler designed to keep intake air temperatures under control during boosted operation. The closed-loop cooling system includes a dedicated electric pump, reservoir, and front-mounted heat exchanger, ensuring consistent charge air cooling even during repeated pulls.
Tuner Kit Configuration
Tuner kits include all major supercharger system hardware but intentionally exclude fuel system upgrades and ECU calibration. This allows custom tuners and racers to tailor fueling, injectors, pumps, and engine management to match specific power goals or competition requirements.
For extended high-duty-cycle use such as road racing, Vortech also offers alternate supercharger options that share engine oiling and support additional cooling upgrades. Vortech technical support can assist with selecting the appropriate configuration.
