Fingers 06-23-2005, 12:41 PM Several of us talked about using a belt driven supercharger to boost the air to the LLY on a different thread. Well I have a ProCharger head on its way. It is a P-1SC which, if I read the maps right, will keep about 5psi going into the turbo from about 1000 RPM up. ):hThis could get interesting.):h Diesel Tech 06-23-2005, 01:59 PM I think I can remember you saying you were only going to do a little to your truck, looks like that's gone our the window. Welcome over to the darker side. McRat 06-23-2005, 02:08 PM COOL!!! :ro) So "preturbo" eh? Fingers 06-23-2005, 03:33 PM My goal was, as still is, 500 RWHP in a daily driver. The problem has been that everything that gets me there produces excessive smoke. Especially on spool up. More air in general would help all around and I would prefer a bigger turbo. The bonus with a belt driven charger should be seen in the lower end, 1500-2200 before the turbo finds it's legs. That seems to be where I see the most smoke. If I can clean up the exhaust down low, I think it would really change the character of the engine. AND allow me to get to 500 without leaving scorch marks on the neighbor's van. Yep Pat, pre-turbo. Looked at a Whipple for post-turbo, but there just isn't the real estate. Maybe with a right angle snout, but I didn't find one. The 9" scroll on this one is going to be an interesting fit as is. With all this air going in, I wish someone else would come up with a larger down pipe so I don't have to cobble one of those together too. :) IdahoRob 06-23-2005, 03:54 PM Sweeet! I know what you mean about the smoke. I'm really pouring it out now. I'd much rather not have smoke if possible. Sure pisses people off, and I don't like seeing it much either. That's really cool you're trying something new, takes balls. Rob SethMcKinney 06-23-2005, 04:10 PM This is all very interesting to me. We got superchargers, bigger turbos -- what about both? I too want a high hp (as high as I can get it) daily driver. I am not so concerned with smoke on the otherhand. ratlover 06-23-2005, 04:23 PM Smoke is cool at first and nice everyonce in awhile for the tail gaters and such but for the most part I do find it a bit of a PITA. Quite the inovator. Keep us posted, very interesting stuff here. Good luck! :) Fingers 06-23-2005, 04:36 PM Smoke is cool at first and nice everyonce in awhile for the tail gaters and such but for the most part I do find it a bit of a PITA. I did think about putting an electric clutch on it.:) ratlover 06-23-2005, 04:50 PM :lol: :grd: | ||
