D1SC to F1A Upgrade
D1SC to F1A Upgrade I have a used D1SC head unit right now. I remember hearing something a while back about being able to send it off to certain places for an upgrade to an F1A unit. Not sure if they were talking about just changing the internals and rebuilding it since it has the same casing, or just trading it in as a core with like $1k for a new F1 head unit. Does anyone know of anyone who does this?

This D1SC head unit has a small chip on the front imeller, probably from road debris (I can get a pic up if needed). I think it's ok, but how would I go about getting it tested to make sure it's not going to shatter once I cank the boost up with it? If it ends up having to be rebuilt, how much does that generally run?

I guess I'll just try and max this blower out then since I already have it right now. I need to get the SDCE 8 rib bracket kit. What is the smallest pully I should run on this D1SC before it becomes too inefficient?
Mine is maxed and does pretty well. 3.4" is the smallest pulley that ProCharger makes and spins my blower (with a 7.65 crank pulley) to 61,808RPMs at 6,700 RPM's from the motor. With the 7.25 pulley found in the SDCE kit you'll need 3.2" blower pulley to spin the blower to 62,237 RPM's at the same 6,700RPM at the motor. However the recommended max RPM on D1-SC is 62,000.
Around 800 rwhp hopefully, maybe like 750 with pump gas and meth. I saw a guy on here talking about running a 3.0" pulley on his D1SC to max it out. Is that a good idea or is that overdoing it?

you should meet your goal without having to overspin the unit pretty easy... but when you want more, the cost depends on what bearings you go with... $200-$600 for the bearings...
