I have been researching turbos for some time but changed based on a ride in a sweet car yesterday!

Anyone running a F1A with Procharger's standard brakets? ANy secret to eliminate belt slip?

I have heard that you can not run the cog belt system becuase of space. I want to be able to run 20 pounds of boost at some point and want to buy the parts 1 time.

Let me be the first to say - you made the right decision! There are cog setups available for the Fbods and vettes currently -possibly others? To run 20psi you would need a cog setup. I'm running an F2 with cog drive on fbody brackets.

We've had good luck with the 8-rib procharger setups with F1's etc on big horsepower setups.

When you goto the F1 head unit over the D1SC, the gearing in the head unit steps up and therefore you run a larger diameter pulley at the same boost level, eliminating common issues of belt slip issues seen with the smaller pulleys seen on the P1/D1 etc on attempting higher boost levels. You should be able to reach your goals with that boost levels on a stock cube type engine setup etc

We offer a kit with a 4" core big front mount intercooler, mandrel bend 3" pipes, couplers, t-bolt clamps etc that works well to support these types of setups, also with the Procharger race bypass valve upgrade that you will want to run for that much boost over the standard Proflow bypass included with their kits.

We have it fully configurable for your needs:

Wish I could upgrade to a F1A right now! If you can get that blower, get it! Look at Asters custom bracket setup on here. Its like a couple of threads down. Pretty trick bracket setup and he has a couple of customers running F1A's on it with no belt slip.

F1A is an 8 second supercharger. Aster's or the SDCE tensioner set-up will get the job done for an 8 rib. Although, I have looked at the Cartek flip drive for a Vette mounted Procharger in a F-Body chassis, now you can go F1R and run low 8's.

Nothing at all wrong with a F series ProCharger. Always a good choice in power adders.

Just like a kid in a candy store. Nothing wrong with switching your mind, just be sure of what you want and stick to it.

1 ride in a car shouldn't be the overall decision maker

An F-1A with the standard ProCharger 8 rib serpentine system will give you some belt slippage at 19 to 20 psi. We were having to tighten the belt up after every run with my '99 Z28, which is why we came out with the cog system back at the old shop that is now closed. (I am not selling the cog set-up at my new business.) KP successfully used the F-1A with the SCDE bracket upgrade, and I am sure Asters bracket upgrade would also work very well.
I know the Cartek Flip Drive works great on the Corvette ProCharger system, we used it at the old shop with an F-1R with no belt slippage at all. Bob

Damn I love that pic more and more everytime I see it. Just sick!

Asters bracket will be your ticket, the belt wrap is around 90% on the blower pulley, as good as you can get with an 8 rib and the tensioner is very strong. I wouldnt hesitate to run it on HUs up to F1C

Thanks!



I agree, at the old shop we used the F-1R with the Corvette Cartec Flip Drive without having belt slippage problems, and I am sure the Aster bracket http://shop.brutespeed.com/Aster-Aut...er-Bracket.htm would provide similar results. Bob

Brian, I'll give you a call back today. Thanks. Bob

Mr.Big

F1R+10rib+direct drive here, with 25psi and zero belt slip on my tiny 370... no need for a cog to spin it hard "if" It's setup correctly...

That's sick. 370ci and pushing 935rwhp.

I've run both the SDCE and Asters bracket with success on both. Made big power with the little 346 and 408 and 402 with an F1R. Thats been a good reliable setup for me. GL!

You're not having any problems with belt slippage with the F-1R, that's good to hear? Bob

I am curious to about the F1R and the 8 rib set up on the F-body stuff. Anyone have any track results and logged data of boost, I remember KP had slippage with a F1A and the SDCE, is Asters set up that much better - that is to handle a F1R

I'm bringing this back to the top. Bob
