I believe that's the model the SRT-6 has. They can be found for $700-$1400 = installation. Having that will give you the same thing as an SRT-6 engine if you get an inter cooler. Any one know what model inter cooler the SRT-6 has.

 

EATON blowers are a roots-type blower, no? I was under the impression that the SRT used a Lysholm-type... MUCH more heat efficient. Also, don't the Eaton models have a relatively long "snout" that the pulley is mounted on? My daily driver uses an M62 Eaton...

If the SRT is indeed using an Eaton/roots blower, there's huge room for improvement. Possibly look at a reference showing interchangability between Eaton/Whipple, and apply that research to the SRT? Take a look at SVT Cobras, for instance. Factory HP is 390 FWHP (flywheel, not front-wheel).

Upgrading to a Whipple (Lysholm) with a pulley upgrade yields an immediate 150 HP... there are some BEASTLY Cobras running around with this combo.

 

Buy an SRT6 -- you'll get a beefed up engine to support the extra power. Not sure if the tranny is really any different, but there is probably a reason they did not build them stock with MT6. By the time you get done upgrading a n/a to a s/c, you'll have more into it than an OEM SRT6 would cost.

 

My bad, didn't notice he was talking about modding a N/A model... That's a whole 'nuther help line.

 

He will have more into it, something we like to call a 6 speed.

I know I am crazy, but I WILL NOT buy an SRT because of the aweful gearbox it has, no one out there with a 400HP modded SRT can tell me they would prefer an auto, if so, they are not a true enthusiast / driver.

Just my opinion on the matter.

 

there are also handicapped enthusiasts like me who cannot for the life of them learn to drive stick. I have tried and tried again. But your guys' logic doesnt apply to me. See, i'm a kid. i could never afford a crossfire, my dad bought it for me. he wouldnt get an srt6. so im tryin to upgrade to one cuz i can afford that since i didnt have to buy the car. plus insurance on an srt6 is double so if i just put the parts on and not claim them, i also save on insurance. so my point is that in my unique case, its better to upgrade to srt rather than "just buy one."

"Buy an SRT6 -- you'll get a beefed up engine to support the extra power. Not sure if the tranny is really any different, but there is probably a reason they did not build them stock with MT6.

If the SRT6 came in a stick, I would have a single graphite gray roadster SRT6 that would have set me back $50k. As it is I have the best of both worlds for about the same price.

I stand by my statement, while I believe the auto trannies are the same, the SRT6 engine has been beefed up by AMG to take the additional power. The n/a engine has not and is more susceptible to failure. These things have fussy ECUs so there is no telling how it will react to a blower and it may cost a lot to get it to run correctly. By the time you're done, the "a lot" I was referring to was $$$.

i am sure with enough money around 3k-7k you can get what you want in terms of power and can range from 300hp-450hp. it might take an engine swap to get you to about 450hp but i can see you doing that using a forged motor with a rear tubo setup. the fabrication and parts is not an issue it is the ECU and i think House of Power has the knowledge to do it since they have done it on other cars that are Mercedes.

You might wanna look up this thread by member "Chuck Norris" who successfully incorporated an Eaton SC on the XFire. Here's the complete Official Eaton Supercharger thread.

Good Luck Fella's

 

its the same engine, the only thing "beefed up" is that its inter cooled. as for the ecu, those are easily reprogrammed by someone who knows what they're doing

 

Normally I would have to agree with you but with this particular car, and its available transmissions, the AMG 5 speed auto is a better transmission option.

 

They didn't build an srt for a couple reasons, one of the biggest is their target demographic. The car's guts were designed by Mercedes, and most people that buy mercedes want any option available and don't want to do any work when driving. If mercedes made a car that drove itself, people would buy it. I'm all about doing things myself, and getting involved in what I am doing. Manual gives you more control over the car once you figure out how to use it to your advantage. You could definately learn if you cared enough to. Plus, people that buy mercedes aren't typically the best drivers. Components like clutches, rear axles, and pretty much anything drivetrain related wears out quicker than that of an automatic car, because you can control essentially what is the stall of a torque converter. You can do holeshots if you want to, or if you don't know how to drive. It's easier to break a manual, and mercedes/chrysler wants to build cars that are more reliable, and pay less in warantee work.

 

While it is essentially the same engine block, there are many internals that are different/stronger on the SRT along with a host of forged parts. This is what worries me about trying to put 350-400 HP down in one, while I believe it will work, who knows till you try....
