Thanks for making my day bro! I watch this video every time I need a reminder why NOT to call in sick to work-cuz I’m saving up for MY RIPP Supercharger!! Lol! 🤣✌🏽
thumbs up as soon as you said, you take it to the track for safety ... wish more people had that point of view. The road can have many surprises. I've had two friends run off the same corner. One saw a box and rolled a vehicle, the other too fast in the rain and ran into a fence. It was a fun, banked corner; and both were lucky another car wasn't involved. Tracks are kept clean, have runoff areas, and you aren't risking killing a family for a cheap thrill. Luckily both friends came out with minor to no injuries, but the cars weren't nearly as fine. Another friend ran off a different road, no seatbelt, thrown out of the car, and lucky they didn't die, car almost ended up on top of them. BE SAFE.
Thank you for the content, so often when people start a video they ramble and don’t provide good info. I’m still debating if I’m getting a challenger or mustang but I’m leaning towards the challenger.
Cool man, nice to see other RIPP family of supercharged 6's. Definitely subbed. What tune are you running? I still have the HP tune but having some jerkiness. I'm still trying to get that smoothed out. How's your's running? Oh mine is a Charger.
Super6 Charger that’s what I have too. At first the tune that came with the kit was like that too. Not sure what state your in, but my tuner told me that the standard tune they had was tuned for 93 octane. My tuner retuned it to 91 octane and its running a lot smoother now.
Can you please leave a link to we’re you purchased your magnaflow (exact model) and link for your supercharger (exact model) I aspire to make my 2018 sxt blacktop like your build
no worries, here you go: www.amazon.com/dp/B00T9OPK7G?ref_=pe_2640190_233158700_shiptrack_e_304_dt_1 rippmods.com/products/2015-2016-dodge-challenger-3-6-supercharger-kit-full-system-with-tuning?variant=34819763534
Num Vienthongsuk thanks! There was an issue of having too much oil in the unit which overheated the supercharger. Yes I did. The shop I go to has a dyno.
As soon as my warranty is done I will invest in one. Got about 20k miles left on it lol. I think it’s a lot better move to invest in a supercharger then a v8. Pay 5k for a super charger or 10k extra for a v8? Lighter car and better mileage.
Shawn John I cant wait man! The supercharger adds so much more to the car. I believe you had really good pros and cons and for me, the pros outweigh the cons. I bet you have a LOT of fun with it!
I'm in o.c California I have a white 2015 challenger. V6.. with. Helcat hood .. its white on black set up . . I been looking in to this ripp for a while ..just trying to get more info
Nice vid bro. Thinking about supercharging my future V6. Would you be able to go more into detail about the supercharger maintenance? I'm a newbie lol. I don't yet have a challenger but I'm getting one soon, so another question is would it be better to buy a v6 and supercharge it, or just start with an R/T and work with that?
Manuel Alonso the only maintenance on the supercharger is having its supercharger oil changed every 7k miles. As for getting an R/T, it all depends on your situation. I got the V6 originally because I needed better gas mileage. I worked far and this car was my daily. In terms of performance, the supercharger gives you more power than the R/T. You’re on par with the SRT, but you’re still getting the gas of a V6. The R/T doesn’t have forged internals. You can supercharge it, but it’s not recommended. You can run boosts over 7 or 8 at max. The hellcat has a V8 engine that is built for that.
@@shawnsms29 I think I'll probably get a V6 then. How much was the supercharger build? In terms of pricing? And besides the supercharger what other components did you have to buy and or install
So if I get this supercharger on my challenger, if I have a warranty till up to 100k miles and I’m only at 38 does it void my warranty getting performance parts? Super chargers, cool ain’t I take, etc?
JefeBuckets (NBA2K Wagers + Tutorials) no, it’s mostly just making sure you change the supercharger oil every 7k miles. I’ve had it for over two years now. It’s pretty much low maintenance.
@@shawnsms29 nice!!! 4.4 is definitely 392 Hemi territory.... that's awesome, I would love to add a Ripp S/C in the future..car barely has 4k miles on it. I get 5.7 to 5.9 consistently...for being fairly stock, I can't complain! Love what these V6's can do with just bolt on's....good luck to you and your Challenger bro!
Zar_Kali_SD 619 thanks man. Honestly, it’s an amazing car overall with or without the supercharger. I got the V6 because I couldn’t afford the gas given my daily commute of 80 miles. Gas is insane in California.
JefeBuckets (NBA2K Wagers + Tutorials) no, only the repair. But my shop was really good. Not only did they let me leave my car at the shop for almost a month. They only charged me about 250 for the reinstall.
Shane Banich sorry I can’t help you on this one. You’ll have to research turbos for the V6 challengers. I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen one in person.
Not necessarily. It all depends on how hard you run it. If you're constantly on the track pushing it hard then it will, but that is true with any car. You should be able to supercharge it 3 years from now, but I would recommend you checking with RIPP at RIPPmods.com they will be able to answer your questions best about their product.
@@shawnsms29 I been hearing a lot about RIPP since I been getting into Mopar . And thanks for the advice , that's what I figured but wasn't a 100%sure I'm still kind of a baby in the car enthusiast world
Sean Wellman when you run boost on an engine you are putting more pressure into the engine. It does decrease the engine life the engine is in boost. When i say in boost that means when the centrifugal supercharger is engaged.
Why not just buy the non tune variant supercharger for the Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar and place it into your challenger? It was designed for lower output but will still boost adequately without additional setup requirements.
Jeremy Baker it’s up to you. You do run that risk, but the Pentastar is generally a very good engine that doesn’t have problems. My car has had the supercharger for two years already and everything is still good.
How come the guy from RIPP said it doesn't void your warranty... I F'D up... I am waiting to pick mine up.. I barely have 5500 miles on my 2019 Charger....
kevin diersing that’s a lie, why would he say that? You can hold on to it or return it if you don’t want to void your warranty. Though the V6 is quite reliable, no problems for me for over 3 years.
What’s the biggest issues with this car maintenance wise I’m looking into getting the sxt plus and I have a concern with the digital stuff and how it in the winter and rain
One thing you should check is the serpentine belt. The stock one might not be strong enough. Mine snapped after around 30k miles with the supercharger. Had to to it replaced with the RIPP one. The digital stuff will not be an issue. Sams with winter and rain. It still drives normal unless you’re planning to do burnouts in the winter which is a bad idea in the first place lol.
@@shawnsms29 I appreciate it and I will check it I actually just got mine last Saturday and I’m in love with it got the sxt plus my main thing is gas mileage I mean omg that thing will burn out a full tank of gas in hrs man and I use 87 fuel
Hey man I think your whole challenger theme is great. I live in New York and definitely wanna get my Challenger Sxt Supercharged. I do have a shop that installs RIPP supercharger and I’m supper excited to do it. How much did everything came out to be for you. Parts, installation ? Did you have to upgrade your exhaust after? Or anything else in the car after you installed the supercharge??
Michael Lemus thanks man. The kit was 5,500 and the install was 1,500. In all, it was 7k not counting taxes. I did have an exhaust upgrade, but that was before the supercharger. My exhaust was the first of my performance upgrades. For that I chose magnaflow because it offered more performance versus just sounding good.
I have a magnaflow muffler only, I’ll have to get the complete exhaust system. Thanks a lot for your reply. Can’t wait to be part of the Supercharge 6’s... I’ve subscribed already so I’ll keep up with your upgrades... keep it up!!!
Michael Lemus cool, that’s for the subscribe. I have an update video that I just uploaded. Check it out. You don’t need to be supercharged or a V8, mopar is mopar.
You didn't mention that you need to run premium gasoline after the installation and tuning. If you drive it a lot that cost can really add up quickly and the small increase in mileage will not make up the difference. If you could run E85 fuel and tune for it there is a possible benefit as it has a higher octane rating but you would also get reduced mpg. Also there is the problem of the alcohol reacting with the aluminum in the engine and perhaps parts in the fuel system.
Deacon Blue good points, I do have to always get premium. Though I thought the V8 versions have to run premium too. I don’t run e85, it’s my daily driver so I try not to push it that hard.
I understand your comparison with the V-8. I have an SXT that I may supercharge at some point but I drive eighty miles round trip to work everyday. The fuel cost is something that needs to be taken in consideration above and beyond just the hardware, installation, and mechanics fees however.
Deacon Blue I used to drive 80 miles round trip for work too. I understand your concern. Fortunately, that’s no longer my drive. I’ve had the supercharger for almost two years now. I do have a dedicated shop and a mechanic.
Shawn John I have a mechanic that does the maintenance on my cars too. He also races a car in regional events. Not sure which division he's in but it's in the five second bracket. It's hemi powered and has an older style Corvette shell. He also has a chassis dyno and I have seen some unbelievable cars in his shop when I get my oil changed, etc. He's across the street from where I work and I get to see some of the cars blasting off when they leave his shop. We have discussed the possibility of supercharging my Challenger a few times and he is the one I would trust to do it. Did you put in any subframe connectors and the siffeners in your trunk and across the shock towers?
Hi ! I truly appreciate this information. I’m located in Los Ángeles and I’m currently in the process of buying a RIPP supercharge . Can you recommend me a spot where I can get it installed ?
Shawn John thanks for the information brother . How long has it been since you have the supercharge ? How often do you have to do maintenance? Also is their any other modifications that you have to do to your car once’s you Installed it ? Like change of exhaust or even tuning ? I recently moved from nyc so Im consume by this car culture in LA. Did you order the supercharge from RIPP website . Sorry for all the questions brother .
Dennis Barandica I’ve had it for a year and a half. I take it in every 7k miles for an oil change and a check up by my shop. Other than that, it’s been great.
It’s been smooth going on the 4th year now. I had one instance where I had to replace the serpentine belt. It was time to replace it though since the supercharger ran it a little too hard lol
crank horsepower isn't debatable, it can be measured but not by anyone so guessing it isn't exact science since the conversion figures from the manufacturer aren't published so it can range from 15-20%. does the SXTs have LSDs?
I used a calculator www.mk5cortinaestate.co.uk/calculator4.php My SXT came with the performance package which has LSD. Not sure if basic version has it.
I see no cons, just minor bumps. The only real cons is the price, specially if u want the heritage edition. Also is finding a legit tune shop to get u set up right and not milk you. Can't wait to install mines, setting the foundation first, currently working on suspension and exhaust.
@@joseponce8408 I’m currently at 67k and it’s working well. I would check with my local shop specialist first. You’ll need to check the spark plugs, the belts, and get an assessment. Getting a V8 may be better but that’s a lot of money down plus gas is still going up……just take those things into account before you make your choice. That’s my advice
Haha I honestly have a lot of friends in Challenger Demons that have higher trims than me. It's all fun an games, we don't judge each other. Each of us have different financial situations and uses for our cars whether it be a daily driver or a weekend car. The only place I take my car to race is the strip and the road course. If you wanna meet there, I'll see you there. No street racing here "officers" :P
@@shawnsms29 It's not about judging brother because i have an SXT as well and i just wanted to see how your car will get along the R/T's / 392 so that maybe i'd upgrade mine, and by the way i live in Bahrain :)
Adel Isa ooooo my bad, in comparison to the R/T its faster. As for 392’s they are about the same. If you empty out your car and have the right tires you might be able to beat the 392. Check out 86 face, he’s got a really good build specifically for the strip.
Thanks for the follow man. I go to Superior Automotive Engineering in Placentia. They're about 45 mins from you. Great shop with experienced mechanics. Just got my supercharger oil change done today and my regular checkup.
Yo! Great video man! Would love to chat it up if you have time and are cool. I can hit you up on Instagram or something if that’s cool. Heavily considering this mod.
Shawn John i like your channel much more. You are nothing like 86face. You are not hear to destroy the majority of the mopar community. You seem to still have an appreciation for the 5.7, 6.4, to the 6.2.
There is just no excuse for cutting another driver off. Beat them on the green all the while signaling, fine. But cutting somebody off is a sure way to end up in a road rage situation.
oldsTV it’s actually a pro because you’re getting more power than an R/T 22k+5.5k=27.5k plus 1.5k installation. So 30k. The R/T starts at 34.5k Plus, you’re still getting better gas.
Faster than the R/T! Unless he puts a cam, headers, and a tune. Then they're spanking you again because of the torque. Plus, the Hemi sound. But hey, nice car anyway.
Thanks anyway, 86face has the complete V6 built for the strip. My car has evolved to be more of a road course car. I have a reinforced front strut, front and back sway bars, and stage 1 springs now. I just wanted to build my own car rather than getting it all done. When I first got the car I lived far from work. As my daily i wanted additional MPG. If gas wasn't an issue I would have gotten the scat pak. In all, I love my build and even without the sound I do have the MPG for long road trips :)
