? on supercharger setup

[97rs4life]

Alright, not sure on how many guys here have dealt with superchargers but I am thinking about making another blower kit for a 3.8l engine.

I have made a powerdyne kit for the 3.8 cars and it was a decent performer for an end result of around 260-280rwhp non intercooled. It ran off the main accessory belt and I used a custom tensioner setup. The supercharger ran a smooth pulley as I had to run it on the back side of the belt the way it was routed.

I am now thinking about picking up a Procharger P1SC headunit that I have found on a Mustang forum and seeing if I can come up with something with it. I am wondering if anyone has any input about running it on a separate belt using a GTP balancer so there would be the main acces. belt and a supercharger belt vs. running the blower on the main acc. belt.

I am wondering if it is worth it to try and get it to run on its own belt or if it would be fine running it off the accessory belt like I did the powerdyne. Costwise it might be cheaper to make a kit that uses only the main acc. belt and not a separate setup.

Any other suggestions when working with the procharger headunit?

idk alot about S/Cers
but good luck sounds like a kool project

may be more reliable running a seperate belt. that way if it brakes you still have power steering and a water pump.

All I know is, I'd buy one if you did a P/D1SC kit.

You can do it Travis!

I would talk to RedFbird 99 and maybe Merlin, Grimms, and some of the folks on FTV6. They should be able to give you some info.

I believe it was Pathogen who had a D1SC firebird on FTV6, might be worth it to try to get in touch with her.

yea I know who to contact on the other sites, I am looking beyond the v6 crowd for advice.

I already know and checked out pathagon's d1sc kit as well as MACH's kit. Merlin and Grimm are dealing with the m90, not really similar to a procharger at all.

This is also not the first sc kit I would be making, just looking for opinions from guys that have dealt with the procharger specifically and know of any issues or things that work better with them

the Procharger kits on the LT1 and LS1 cars run a separate belt, i run a 12 rib pulley which is really wide. i would falow this so that you get less belt slip.

If you wanted to go through with this I'd be willing to help you out running CAD models for the brackets. If you offered a bracket and pulley set I'd definitely be interested, and pick up a used blower to keep costs down.

That's what I have been thinking of going with. I know the GTP has a dual belt setup that would be a factory made piece which would work. Need to do some more research.
