alright guys ive decided to supercharge my 2007 dodge dakota 4.7.
im going to use the adaptors from airram.com to mount an eaton m112 onto my truck.
whatcha yall think?

I think the trans will blow bc its a dodge. Haha. I think thats a good plan actually.

Tural

your title says it's 2007 dakota. make sure to wait till warranty runs out.

mopar!

hahah i don't have any warranty except the unlimited powertrain warranty soo lol
and i have to put a bigger torque converter in anyway lol

Tural

do you think 4.7 components will hold up to boost?

mopar!

its been done before
and the guy i know with it has had it for a year and no problems
i don't want to put alotta boost

Tural

i've got the 3.7 and i wanted to boost it, but i thought it might not hold up.

mopar!

i think it will but i cant go crazy with it you know?
and my 4.7 has been very reliable and i don't wanna loose that

The 4.7's hold up quite well believe it or not... you just have to not be boost hungry... as well as make sure you make other appropriate upgrades such as fuel injectors, and better fuel pump...

And if you do all this stuff, could that void you "unlimited power train warranty"

i have the 4.7 in my truck and will tell you two things...this engine is plenty strong enough for an extra 90hp due to the fact that the 2008 and 2009 rams have the 310hp version of the 4.7 on the same exact block! BUT......this is a truck!!!!!! use the money ur going to spend on turning the most reliable V8 out there into a not so reliable one and get a used Mazda RX-8 or Subaru for the days you want to go fast!! because you could put a 1000hp in a Dakota or Ram it would still handle like crap with that solid rear axle and no weight in the back like any TRUCK would!

BigC9164

you WILL loose the reliability of the 4.7 if you boots it! you would be better off with a 427 or 365 hemi swap! or just better cam and a super chips. just get a sports car for when you want to go fast. your 310 foot pounds of torque is plenty of get up and go for that little dakota to get over off road obstacles or pass on a highway or do a burnout!

mopar!

yea but anyone can make a subaru fast but not alot of people make a dakota fast. its unique, and you can never have too much horsepower and torque!!! thats why ford made the lightning and dodge made the srt10 ram! and i don't care about handling but what relevance does the solid rear axle have to your arguement? mustangs have solid rear axles... if u wanted to say something like its high center of gravity or the leaf springs in the back now thats a different story. thanks

don't forget about the dakota R/T. i know its older, but what a truck. my dad has an older lightning and that thing moves out, even pulling a car on a trailer.

I say go for it, just don't get boost-hungry. take your time tuning it and it will last a long time. like was said, if you can get another 75-125 hp out of it you will have a very quick truck. getting a good intercooler will help things stay under control and help make consistent power. good luck on your project.

thank you very much.
yes i won't get boost hungry, because my truck is my baby lol
