Vortech Supercharger V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit & Charge Cooler - Black (2009-2010 Challenger R/T 5.7L Automatic) 4CL218-154L
Black V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 5.7L Challenger R/T Automatic
The Vortech Supercharger V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit with Charge Cooler (PN 4CL218-154L) is engineered specifically for 2009-2010 Dodge Challenger R/T models equipped with the 5.7L HEMI and automatic transmission. This tuner-oriented system pairs Vortech's highly efficient V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger with an air-to-water, dual-pass Charge Cooler, creating a robust platform for custom tuning and fuel system strategies.
At a conservative 8 PSI on a stock engine, this setup is capable of delivering approximately 492 horsepower and 489 lb-ft of torque. Designed for racers and enthusiasts who want full control over calibration, this tuner kit excludes fuel system upgrades and ECU programming, allowing the installer to tailor the combination to specific power goals.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents a major evolution in Vortech centrifugal supercharger design. 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. The result is lower charge air temperatures, reduced parasitic loss, and improved durability under boost.
An internal, self-contained lubrication system eliminates the need for engine oil feed and return lines, simplifying installation and ongoing service.
Charge-Cooled Performance
This system utilizes an integrated dual-pass air-to-water Charge Cooler designed to control intake air temperatures during boosted operation. The closed-loop system includes a dedicated electric pump, reservoir, and front-mounted heat exchanger, ensuring consistent cooling during street pulls or track use.
Tuner Kit Configuration
Tuner kits include all major supercharger hardware but intentionally omit fuel system upgrades and ECM reprogramming. This approach allows custom tuners to select injectors, pumps, and engine management solutions that best match their intended use.
For sustained high-duty-cycle applications such as road racing, Vortech offers alternate supercharger options that share engine oiling and support additional cooling upgrades. Vortech technical support can assist with selecting the appropriate configuration.
