Anybody know or buy an F1 ProCharger around that time frame and if so did it come with the J shaped mounting bracket or did you have to fabricate your own mounting bracket? To fit '98-'02 F-body LS1 (427ci). Just curious.


383????

The ProCharger F1/F1A blowers have always been able to use the standard bracket. Bob

You're talking about the aluminum J shaped piece that the PC mounts too?

grb

Also, I'm guessing ProCharger would hardly sell a unit without a mounting bracket....or would they? But on the other hand it would seem that surely they would have a complete F1 kit for 4th gens by the middle of '04. Right?

Yes, he is talking about the j-bracket. Procharger also sells head units by themselves .

grb

But the kit would include the J shaped mounting bracket. Right?

Yes, if you buy a procharger kit for a F-body it comes with the bracket.

I don't think Procharger has a premade kit for the F1 series for the F Boats. You might be able to by a D1SC kit and have them "upgrade it" to have an F1 instead of the D1SC, but that would be kind of pointless as that kit isn't designed for using those blowers.

I would think you could pice together your own setup with better parts for an F1 than trying to use their kit and do it cheaper in the long run.

The bypass valve in the kit isn't enough for the D1SC when it is pushed much less an F1 so you'd have to upgrade that.

The twin intercoolers are a bit small for an F1 so you'd have to go with a front mount or come up with something else.

Really when you start talking about the bigger head units or even really pushing the D1SC their kit parts aren't up to the task.

For a ready to go kit contact EPP as they have a kit you can do the larger head units, FMIC, injectors, bypass valve, etc... It isn't cheap but you won't have to source everything yourself.

Otherwise you could probably save a couple grand if you pieced it together yourself and did some of your own fabrication work. I wish I had done this the first time around on my car instead of sourcing a normal procharger kit only to have to redo the whole thing when I had to go bigger (new motor).

You sure about that? I purchased an F1 in 7/04 and I am almost positve the bracket was included. But you are right that the inter-coolers were small.

You basicly just answered your original question???
I believe when you buy the kit's ,The F1 is a upgrade to the D1 Kit.
You order the D1 kit and opt for the upgrade wich in your case was the F1. And yes they had the smaller twin intercooler's back then.

I'll get the answer from the horse's mouth tomorrow.

lol!!

One more thing. Do I have to run a $1,000 10 gallon alum. fuel cell with the PC or can I stay with my stock gas tank??

Don't you have that bad azz aluminum replacement fuel tank that go's in the factory location. It's like the one Nasty N8 sell's on here. If you are selling it, I would like to purchase it!

grb

It will be for sale soon, but for Christ's sake, let the experts answer my question. I happen to be building another ProChargerd engine and don't want to replace the gas tank unless I have to. Why go from 18 or so gallons to 10 if you don't have to???

If the answer is no you can pick up a great deal on a "bad azz" cell.

Why didn't you just ask Ron @ Vengeance. They could of answered the question over the phone for you. Vengeance just built you a motor. BUT to answere your question, If you are upgrading to a larger fuel feed line(-8,-10) then it would be better to purchase a aftermaket tank, if it is in your budget, like the one I described you already having,since it would already have the bung holes provided for such fitting's,and this way you wouldn't need to put a sump in your current tank, provided it is a steel gas tank.
It really depends on how much HP you are wanting to make?

grb

Let's see if the experts agree with you assessment. And, you ever seen Ron or Mike when they weren't busier than a one armed paper hanger?

I talk to Mike @ Vengeance all the time?

grb

Then you talk to him and fill me in.
