I want to super-charge my 3.9, but I can only find kits for the 5.2 and 5.9. Would one of these kits fit my truck?

 

Well, a Kennebell wouldnt because the pulley would stick past the end of the block. Some of the centrifugal ones might, but you most likely have to fab your own tubing. You would have to run a custom fuel and timing setup as well because you only have 6 injectors instead of 8.

Why not just fab up a turbo kit?

 

Well I hear guys talking about their super charged v6 Dakotas but I cant find a kit.... Twin turbos would be nice; but wouldnt it cost more, and be harder to install with the headers and all?

 

not to mention twin turbos wont do you much good since 3.9's can only run about 6-8 pounds of boost on stock internals safely.

 

I didn't say TWIN-turbos, just a single. Lots of guys do it, all kinds of room on the passenger side for the turbo and piping down to one manifold/header. You could fab one up for probably the same price or less than a new S/C kit.

 

Or, go sts turbo, will run you 5k, but worth it i think. Some of those guys gain amazing power.

 

I've been looking at that STS for a while now. I want someone to install one and show us some results!

 

Why not cut your losses and drop in a V8, then you can do as you wish with it and have power to spare.

 

Heh, yea v8 drop would be better, but than you have to upgrade the tranny too to handle any mods... But if you were to upgrade you could do it for around 3k, with tranny and engine, that is doing it yourself. Using a 5.9 too. As they kick the 5.2's. lol

 

There is a website www.socaldakota.com they have alot of mopar performance stuff including a built crate v6 that produces 313 hp at the wheels and 345 ftlbs at 12lbs of boost for $5560 w. out the S/C. plus you would still get better mpg than a v8, thats why I was askin about a s/c.
