@shane marz boost and throttle aint the same i know the butterflys can be tuned to open half or fully and with out the butteryflys opening the supercharger won't be able to generate more or higher boost cause won't be enough air flow if thier half closed ha u make me laugh pal i know what im talking about thats how the spirals in the charger make boost by pulling in more airflow
Charger: "I live my life 10 gallons at a time, nothing else matters, not how many miles, not the car behind me, not my driver or anything like that. For those 10 sec,uh I mean gallons, I'm free"
some people have played too much need for speed, and think muscle cars can't be driven anywhere but a straight line. if you know how to drive, you can track a semi and stomp a honda
@nate apples to donuts. You're lawn mower is built for the road. This beauty is built strictly for straight line quarter mile runs. If you can turn your going to slow!
I am European, and I probably love the american big block v8 engine just as much as you guys. What an incredible sound from this blower charged charger. I could drive that all day... or probably not given the high gas prices. But damn I'd save up money for months for that awesome day of pure joyride
The Hero charger had a 572 Hemi with a 5.9 litre super charger, a BDS fuel injection system, a triple barrel blower, and a 200 shot of NOS, which came out to ruffly 1200 horsepower and 950 horsepower without the NOS.
Well yeah it did but they never drove that one they only filmed it in the car then sent it back the motor that was actually driven was a 440 magnum that’s still in the car
Damn that things of Beast! And I got to say the sound that used in the movie sounds to me like the real engine running. Normally in movies they use whatever sound of an engine sounds better for the audio but in this case it sounds like they use the actual sound of the engine.
The charger in the original fast and furious movie actually had 2 engines one they didn’t actually hook up was the 392 Hemi with over 900hp it was never actually driven only used for under hood shots. The engine that actually powers it is a 440 magnum and that’s what’s under the hood while it’s driving they filmed all the under hood shots then sent the Hemi back and put the 440 in for the driving scenes since 900hp was too much for the cast to handle the cars a 69 charger with a 70 front end btw they wanted a 70 but couldn’t find one so they took a 69 and made it look like a 70
Does anyone know the actual specs for the engine are? looks like a “mildly” bored and stroked 440 with a 4 barrel and a mild cam as well as that screaming blower obviously.
the engine is based on a 60’s model 426 Hemi... maybe bored & stroked to 528 cubic inches, that blower looks like a 6-71, maybe an 8-71... hard for me to be certain from this video, but it’s definitely pissed off whatever it is... That looks like an Enderle mechanical injection system, so no carburetor... blown engines will burn exhaust valves if the wrong cam is used, the hard starting is just something you live with because none of those parts were designed for street use, although some us go it anyway. 😎
texasrider 4D5 the carb is under that air scoop once you put a blower on it basically takes the place of the intake the carb bolts to the blower and then the air scoop just sits on top of it looks like they have a case to cover the carb to make it look cleaner
come on! its much nicer than the F&F charger. the F&F charger has a chevy 400 in there. This one is the original. btw. I am a chevy guy, but I love all kinds of American muscle and hot rods
No it’s got a 440 in it you can tell by the exhaust note dodge has a very distinct sound and so does Chevy and ford dodge is more aggressive and deep Chevy is usually smoother and ford... well if you’ve ever heard a v8 mustang then you’ve heard every ford v8 ever made plus if you look it up they even tell you it’s got a 440 and that it’s still in the car
@@crimsonlight4205 they already said it in the making of f&f that they use Chevy 400 engines. They used multiple chargers for creating the movies. And most of them have chevy 400 engines cause it saves money i guess. Of course not the original one that they show when it is just parked in the garage. But they build 10 similar looking chargers as cheap as possible and they destroy it throughout the shooting of the movie.
SS RAMBO yeah the stunt ones that were destroyed had the 400 in it but the actual driving charger was a built 440 the one that wasn’t destroyed the Hemi was used for the under hood shots but the fully restored charger was a 440 magnum that they put a fake supercharger on
@youngcountrydipper i may be wrong, if so someone will correct me... but if not then yea a nitrous plate is a just a plate you put between the throttle body and intake manifold (in this case the throttle body and blower) and it has nozzles on it that sprays nitrous/fuel into the airstream. i know N.O.S. has a plate system, not sure if other aftermarket companies use it or if its exclusive to N.O.S.
1. When is it the original ? With the exact VIN and the confirmation of the movie company and the car builder. Even Universal Pictures are using my car for premiere etc.... or: 2. when it look like in the movie (there was even 3 different cars with different parts used and quite different looks.....)
Actually the one they showed in the scene where dom takes Brian to the garage is aactually this car a real hemi car with bds blower that chris was building at that time but it was incomplete. the other cars that where shown running and doing the stunts where just dodge charger bodies with Chevy crate motors
