Overdriving a D1-SC?
Overdriving a D1-SC? I know it isn't *advised* but does anybody know how much I could overdrive the blower quote unquote "safely". I'm spinning it 59,963 RPM's at 6,500 RPM's at the motor. I'm thinking of getting a 3.1" pulley made which would spin it to 65,765 RPM's, and the blower is rated at 62,000. Anybody have any thoughts? Physics wise if everything is balanced correctly (and I imagine it should be being capable of spinning to 62,000 RPM's) is the extra 3-4,000 RPM's to the blower acceptable?

Verdad Gallardo Well I know Procharger wouldn't lol, I wonder who would? If it is balanced it should be able to spin high enough? Also, a lighter blower spinning faster is more efficient than a heavier blower spinning slower isn't it?

over spun my P1 for 30,000 miles with zero issues, made 787 rear wheel... I'd say that's a decent amount for a P1, no issues with IAT's. The bearings can be changed by anyone with a decent mechanical back ground, and a set of hand tools. ABEC 9 bearings are better, and ceramic bearings for the ballers...
not all bearings have to be replaced, you could just replace those bearings after the transmission (the bearings that spin much faster i.e. prop shaft) if you chose to...
