i wanted to no if many people put f1 procharger on a stock motor and hows it hold?

I honestly think there is no point at all to put an F1 on a stock motor. The F1 head unit itself is like 3500, if you decide to go f1 you'd better have a built motor to put it on. Just throw on a D1SC and a good exhaust system youll be happy with that. F1 requires fabing up to fit well in the engine bay also so if your gonna go F1 make sure you have the $$$ too.

F1 is for some serious power that the stock LS1 wouldn't even think of holding.
Also doesnt something have to be done to the crank...

You'd have to put a huge pulley on it.Too much back pressure on a stock motor.

But if you want to put out big numbers doesnt the F1 have a better step up ratio that will produce more area under the curve than the D1sc at the same peak numbers?

Well, first of all, there is no more modification for an F1 than for a D1. I went from a P1 (same housing as a D1) to an F1 and it bolted right up, and I still had room to put the hat and filter on. Now as far as putting an F1 on a stock motor, I say go for it! You'll just have an excuse to build a better engine up sooner than if you had went with a D1! And then, sky is the limit as far as how big you want to go with your engine. You won't have much restriction if you want to build a big cube monster

i am in the process right now of putting a intercooled f1r procharger on my camaro.i am building a fully forged lsx block for it to with six bolts heads to avoid pushing water.i would build the motor first if you ant to even put on a regular f1 first.!

just trade me the F1 for my D1 and call it a day!!!!!

The biggest most will go with on a stock motor will be the D1SC. On a stock motor the F1A will use too much power to turn it due to the step up ratio. The D1SC will provide enough power on a stock bottom end to blow sh_t up.

I was having a hard time deciding a few months back between the F1A or the D1SC.

^ I agree with him, if its a stock motor its gonna take alot more to turn that
f1, get the d1 and a nice exhaust and call it good.

If you don't have big bucks, and you're trying to get into a boosted setup on a budget (yeah yeah, you guys know what I mean..), you'll go faster on a D1SC than you will on an F1 because you'll have an extra grand in your pocket to upgrade something else..

i had a D1SC and spray..... key word had that **** blew a big hole in the side of the block. i wish i would have never done it. if u do a F1 u got big *****!

not to jack the thread here, but i am currently doing a f1r with a 300 shot.will keep u posted.i do have a lsx block though with killer forged internals!

Anyone have some more info to confirm or deny this?

ChevyChad

It does have a bigger step up ratio.

Not sure if that really equates to more area under the curve since they are both linear, and it would really just be the equivalent to changing the pulley size...

DuronClocker

iTrader: (25)

Yeah, this would be correct. Same linear effect as pulleying down. So yes, it will push more air at lower RPMs with the same size pulley as a D1, but it will push more air at higher RPMs as well.

ADCTD2BOOST

it was a dead stock Ls1,and a drilled out jet. im thinking about sellling the d1SC and getting a
F1A. im doing a 6.0 motor with bullet proof internals. thought of the LSX block but decited with a 6.0

ADCTD2BOOST

hey platinum1 in your sig pic what brakes do u have on the car to fit thoes wheels?? what off-set do u have??

transamfreak01

iTrader: (8)

not to hijack but what type of internals would you guys recommend for a 408 set up with a f1???

platinum1

iTrader: (7)

i have all strange brakes and rotors all the way around. the car is mini tubbed and the rears are 15x10 with i think a 5 inch back spacing.the strange brakes look sick through the rims
