Default d-1 max impeller speed.

I have a 4.25 pulley on a d-1,making about 9# at max rpm,I want to install a 3.85 to increase boost.Will I over spin the d-1?

what size crank pulley? What engine RPM? Your impeller RPM is the crank pulley diameter/ head unit diameter * engine rpm * step up ratio of the blower.

Your no where near over spinning it with that setup. The D1SC max impeller rpm is 62,000. What your wanting to do will only be 51,324.

Well, if you have the standard 8 rib procharger crank pulley that attaches to the ATI superdamper with the 3 bolts, you most likely have a 7.65" crank pulley.. But as mentioned, even with the 7.65/ 3.85 combo, you would be at 51324.5 impeller RPM, which is only spinning it to 82.78% of its max potential. To max a D1SC out, you would need to use a 7.65/3.4 pulley combo, and spin the engine over 6700RPM.

It is indeed the 7.65 diameter on the crank pulley. Bob
