How much torque does a 5.7 HEMI have in NM?

How much torque does a 5.7 HEMI have in NM?

How much torque does a 5.7 HEMI Charger have?

The HEMI and the Supercharged Charger both have similar torque specs. The Charger is rated at 435 ft/lb of torque, while the HEMI is rated at 435 ft/lb.

The HEMI is about 20% more powerful than the Charger. Here's a dyno graph of the two motors from a few months ago: The Charger's peak torque is reached at about 7000 rpm, while the HEMI's is reached at about 5200 rpm. You'll notice in the video the Charger's peak torque at about 4500 rpm. You can find a summary of the Charger's specs here.

What are the torque specs on a 5.7 HEMI?

- by: ariannanelson.

Hi there. I am about to buy a new car and the VIN number is 3WPC6S0YF65157535 with 3.7 liter engine. However, the owner said that the previous owner was planning to replace the motor but never did it. ? I am very interested in the torque specs of this engine. I want to compare it with the torque specs of 6.6L V8. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for reading my post.

Replies. Re: What are the torque specs on a 5. The torque curve of a Hemi's isn't really flat. It can be compared to a V8 of about 360 hp/tq where tq = TURBINE INERTIAlso as others have said, it probably won't last very long with a 5.7 liter and it will be replaced.

Good luck in your purchase.

How many foot pounds of torque does a 5.7 HEMI have?

5.7 hemi torque specs How many foot pounds of torque does a 5.7 HEMI have?

I need to put it on a dyno to figure out a budget for. A used 5.0l HEMI. Any thoughts?
If its a heavy bottom end, I would assume you wouldnt have to worry about it turning into the firewall. Its probably not too bad. They can be made to handle a lot of power, just be careful to stay on the safe side when it comes to making boost.

I'd start there. I know someone with a HEMI in a FJ Cruiser who made over 500whp. She was getting over 60 MPG and did a nice job of keeping within the speed limit.

That is a high compression engine and has a low bore-to-stroke ratio. Make sure you follow their instructions for "boosting" the engine. The reason this engine is so fast is it will "hold" a lot of boost.

I know how to "boost" the engine with a HEMI, however, this is why I asked about the power of the engine. It has a 5.7 HP V8; which is what I have seen before is that it goes over 800 horsepower in one of those cars.

As a side note, the FJ is one of the coolest vehicles on the road. Thanks for the info on them, I didn't even know they were around.

I was a kid when the FJ was originally brought out, so they weren't around when I was a teen either. Still, when I do road trips with my family, they always try to find the old fashioned '57' FJ's with no air conditioners. Those are awesome.

How much torque does a 5.7 HEMI have in NM?

I have a 93 M-3 5.7L, and I was wondering if there's enough. The car was built in 2025 so is that a common problem? Is it worth it to rebuild the motor?

You never know. On my 88 I have a rebuilt 5.7l with a 3.23 gears and it seems to drive fine. The only downfall is it's more expensive than a stock motor. But, the motor is very fast compared to other motors on this platform.

When I replaced a bad GM 5.7 with a Chevy Motor T/A 5.7H.it turned out to be really slow .the GM 5.7H had approx. 150 ft lbs. of torque - much more than this. It seemed to have torque problems but it's an old motor.

The first engine I ever installed (with 4:10 gears) made 110# of torque @ .75 mph and had almost no top end horsepower.

I put a GM 3.23 diff (which has 100% gear reduction ratio) in that engine and it made about 160# of torque at .and I thought it would be a "supercharged" motor.

There are many ways to build and design an engine. You may get 250-280 hp from one motor which uses low compression pistons, but it will not get close to the maximum torque that it can make if it does get near 300 hp.

If you can find a stock motor it is always cheaper to buy a rebuilt motor or buy a new motor. A rebuilt motor will give you a nice torque curve.but it's a lot more expensive. But if you can't find a stock one - then it is probably the best thing to do. If you run it for a few years, you will see which way it goes. You can also find a GM engine and it may better.but you don't know the condition of the internals.

It may not be in your best interest to rebuild it as a daily driver motor. Even if you do it right, it may be damaged. If you do it wrong it can be dangerous. If you are rebuilding the motor, let someone else do it and give them the info of what you did and the parts that you used.
