Procharger not seeing boost??!
Procharger not seeing boost??! I have a p1sc1 installed on my 2001 camaro ss and
can not see more than 4 psi even though the set up
is for 8 psi. I have a 6" crank pulley and 3.20"
procharger pulley with a 6 rib setup

I checked to make sure that the impeller direction was set up properly after reading in other threads that it might be reversed.. The unit was off a t/a if I remember correctly..I think I'll leave it at 4 psi for now and slowly piece together the 8 rib conversion

Verdad Gallardo Yea the head unit is the proper direction so I ruled that out.. The belt is tensioned all the
way.. There is really fine dust on the pulley area, but it's in low amounts it's not
noticeable Unless you swipe across it

The bypass valve is mounted with the hex head on the valve facing the inlet hat/supercharger..the filter is new and there no sign of and collapsing on the intake piping, but it's hard to tell. I also checked the plumbing with soap an water for leaks
I agree with everyone else about pinning your crank but I also HIGHLY doubt that is related to your current issue. Check the inlet for restriction and make sure none of the couplers are collapsing. Do you have the means of pressure testing your piping/intercooler? If the blower is the correct rotation and the belt isn't slipping horribly it should make more then 4psi unless you have a very bad leak. What bypass valve are you running? Is it operating properly?

Im also inclined to agree its not slipping because I thought due to the rotation it would loosen the bolt and walk off the pulley rather quickly, however if it does, my understanding is that the crank is trashed almost instantly. Id pin it ASAP.
*Pics* So I rigged up the pressure testing system and both of the intercoolers have small leaks in between the fins where you see the soap bubbles gorming..how can I fix this?
