Hellcat Supercharger CORE USED

The factory Hellcat supercharger is one of the most capable and cost-effective positive-displacement superchargers available, making it an excellent foundation for big power LS builds.

These genuine used OEM Hellcat supercharger cores feature the factory 2.4L IHI twin-screw supercharger assembly with an integrated water-to-air intercooler system and electronic bypass system, providing excellent throttle response, strong torque across the whole rev-range and massive power in a refined OEM package.

When paired with our LS adapter manifolds, the Hellcat supercharger can be fitted to any LS engine, including both cathedral-port and rectangle-port engines.

The 2.4L IHI Hellcat supercharger is not just another aftermarket blower. It was engineered by Chrysler and IHI as an OEM forced-induction system capable of supporting over 700 horsepower from a factory V8 while maintaining the drivability, response and durability expected from a production vehicle.

That combination is what makes the Hellcat supercharger such an attractive platform for LS conversions and custom builds. You get the performance characteristics of a large positive-displacement supercharger all packaged into a highly developed, refined OEM assembly.

Integrated Water-to-Air Intercooler

One of the major advantages of the Hellcat supercharger platform is the technology it come packaged with, including is its factory integrated water-to-air charge-cooling system.

Rather than requiring a separate external manifold and intercooler setup, the Hellcat system incorporates its charge-cooling components directly into the supercharger assembly beneath the lid. With two coolant ports on the back of the housing, it is easily adapted to any build with the use of an auxiliary heat exchanger and electric water pump.

OEM Bypass System

The Hellcat supercharger also incorporates a factory electronic bypass-valve system.

During light-load and cruising conditions, the bypass system allows airflow to bypass the supercharger's normal compression path. This reduces unnecessary pumping load on both the blower and engine when boost is not required.

When power is demanded, the bypass valve closes and the supercharger can immediately begin delivering boost. This electronic controlling of the bypass valve allows for consistent, smooth and linear power delivery.

Utilising the bypass system means you get the best of both worlds. Providing both excellent drivability during normal road conditions and extremely aggressive response when power is needed.

This bypass valve can be controlled via an aftermarket ecu, or if using the stock LS ecu, we offer an external electronic bypass-valve controller separately, allowing the OEM Hellcat bypass system to be properly integrated onto any LS engine.

What Is Included With a Supercharger Core?

Our Hellcat supercharger cores are sold as complete primary supercharger assemblies, providing the main mechanical supercharger and intercooler components required to form the foundation of your build.

Each core includes:

• Genuine Hellcat 2.4L IHI supercharger assembly
• Complete supercharger housing and internal rotor assembly
• Factory supercharger snout & drive assembly
• Upper supercharger lid
• Integrated water-to-air intercooler cores and internal intercooler components
• Main supercharger components and associated hardware that form part of the complete core assembly

You are purchasing the complete supercharger assembly, including the supercharger itself, snout, lid and integrated intercooler system as represented in the initial listing image.

Used Condition

These supercharger cores are genuine OEM Mopar units removed from American donor vehicles before being imported into Australia, so are therefore used.

As used components, each unit will vary slightly in condition and appearance and may show signs of previous use, including cosmetic marks, scratches, staining, oxidation, discolouration or general workshop and engine-bay wear.

Please contact us directly if you have specific requirements for your supercharger core.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, these superchargers are not new, remanufactured or cosmetically restored.

Listing photos are representative of the type of the supercharger supplied unless the individual listing specifically states that the exact pictured unit will be provided.

As with any used performance component, we recommend inspecting and servicing the supercharger as required before installation, particularly when being used in a modified or high-performance application. 

Additional Components May Vary

Because these superchargers are sourced as used OEM assemblies, some units may be supplied with additional factory components still attached.

Depending on the individual unit, these may include:

• Throttle body
• Fuel rails
• Fuel injectors
• Sensors
• Wiring or electrical connectors
• Vacuum fittings and hoses
• Brackets
• Additional factory hardware

These additional components are not guaranteed to be included unless specifically stated.
Please contact us directly if you have specific requirements for your supercharger core.

The presence or absence of these accessories does not affect what we consider the complete supercharger core assembly.

Hellcat-to-LS Conversions

When combined with the appropriate AusParts LS conversion components, the Hellcat supercharger can be adapted to any LS engine.

We offer the supporting conversion components separately, including:

• Cathedral-port LS to Hellcat manifold adapters
• Rectangle-port LS to Hellcat manifold adapters
• Electronic bypass-valve controllers
• LS throttle-body adapters
• LS hub spacers
• Vacuum and sensor adapters

Selling these components separately allows you to build a package specifically suited to your engine and vehicle rather than paying for components you may not require.

Our Own Hellcat Setup:

At AusParts International, we don’t just sell parts, we test them in demanding real-world conditions. That’s why we built our own Hellcat-supercharged, LS-swapped Nissan 300ZX drift car.

Our setup produces 700 wheel horsepower (520 kW) at just 10 psi of boost, with 550 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque delivered across the whole rev range from just 2,500 rpm.

The combination includes our Hellcat supercharger core, rectangle-port adapters, electronic bypass-valve controller, LS throttle-body adapter and F-body pulley spacer. It sits on an iron-block 6.0-litre LS (LQ9) fitted with LS3 rectangle-port heads, a stock Gen IV rotating assembly with ARP bolts and a Crow Cams 871777 camshaft.

The engine is managed by a Haltech Rebel LS ECU and retains the OEM LS hardware and electronics, including the factory drive-by-wire throttle body.

We run a VT–VZ front accessory drive with the corresponding water-pump and crank-pulley spacing, a PowerBond 25% underdrive harmonic balancer (PBU1480SS25) and a GripTec 2.5-inch supercharger pulley. The setup also utilises the Hellcat supercharger’s integrated water-to-air intercooler.

This simple, budget-friendly combination reliably produces 700 whp, with plenty of room for additional power. A Hellcat supercharger conversion is one of the closest things you can get to a bolt-on 700 whp setup for an LS engine.
