Hellcat Supercharger Replacement Installed!! Why Didn't I Just Replace The Bearings Instead??

Рет қаралды 1,472

Күн бұрын

I finally got around to addressing the bearing noise on my manual Hellcat Challenger by replacing the supercharger with a take off from a late model year Hellcat. I'll cover overall what needs to come off to swap out the supercharger and some things to keep in mind before starting this job. Why didn't I just swap out the bearings from somewhere like Jokerz Performance? Where did I get the replacement supercharger from? What issues did I face when removing and installing the supercharger? Do I notice any difference after installing the replacement supercharger? How long after warranty expiration can SRT help with a supercharger replacement? Watch this video to get these questions answered and more! There's also some gratuitous supercharger whine (the good kind) in here somewhere!
The link to the eBay store where I purchased the replacement take off supercharger is:

Can you explain more on the casting issue that jokers performance thought your Original supercharger had

He said they've replaced bearings on the earlier years just to have them fail again so he came to the conclusion there was some casting issue leading to the bearings failing prematurely. The take off replacement supercharger cost me about the same as the bearing job would have cost with the added bonus that the car was down for less time so I didn't press on the bearing replacement more.

Hey Scott, the link to his eBay store is in the description on this video. You'll see the supercharger listing right there. He's pretty responsive during the week so ask him any questions you have. The shipping is by freight so check with him on the cost for that. It's a lot cheaper to ship to a business address so if you can do that you'll save a bunch. It comes on a pallet but the box is from a Magnusson unit so if you toss the pallet, the box will fit in the back of an SUV easy. The unit I ended up installing seemed very clean inside so it didn't look like it had a lot of miles just like he said. If you have a friend to help you it's totally doable DIY. Having another set of hands to remove/install and also for the belt tensioners is very helpful. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions!
