The only reason I ask is because a buddy will sell me a complete d1 kit for 2500. So I an either go procharger or go Turbo with the starting with modular Turbo hot side kit. I know that d1 kit is around 5 or 6k new. So for that price should I go procharger or Turbo?

 

that is a hell of a price..

 

That's why I am wondering what I should do.

 

You'll probably spend more than $2500 on a turbo setup, assuming that D1 kit is "everything" needed.

 

ready for the **** storm









in all seriousness, if u can get an actual "complete" kit for $2500 fr the D1. go that route. thats hella cheap.

 

D1 is complete. I think I can do a Turbo for well under 2500. I already have parts I can sell to offset some of the difference. I would get the modular hotside kit, eBay Turbo, 317s, and ls6 intake to start. I already have the fuel system to support 500-600 rwhp. This would be to start off to get it on the road.

 

What do d1s for used?

 

What do d1s go for used?

 

depends on the condition and what goodies they have.. any where from $3-$5000

youll need the cold side for the turbo, plus a wastegate, BOV, oil feed/drain lines, vaccum lines, gauges are highly recommended...AFR/fuel pressure gauge. just a thought. plus the misc hardware youll need. theres alot of little **** that nickle and dimes you to death. need a 2-bar map sensor too.

what kind of fuel system do you have? what # injectors?

 

I wouldn't pass up that d1 and I build turbo parts on the side. Jump on that, and run it

 

I have 42s and the racetronix kit. So, basically the procharger would be best since I'm starting from scratch. How much power can I get out of a d1? My friend put down 548 on a stock ls1 with bolt one

 

ur gonna want at least 60 # injectors, you will max those 42's real quick. and youll want the hotwire kit for the racetronix pump if you dont already have it. i have full bolt ons and a non-friendly boost cam and made 571rwhp. ive seen people get 7-800rwhp with a D1 but they were built for it of course. but it all depends on whats done to the car and how good of a tuner you have. hitting 500 wont be a problem with some simple supporting mods. LS1 respond pretty well to boost. What mods do u have done to ur car?

 

Full bolt one. Heads cam. Moser with 4.30s

 

That's a good price for a D1 kit! I love my procharger, but I won't mind trying out a turbo kit either tho. for that price go with the procharger, if u don't like u could flip it and buy a turbo kit then

 

2 things come to mind...

IF you plan on running a power level that the D1 can support then I say go with that Procharger for sure that is one hell of a deal.

BBBBUUUUUTTTTTTT........... IF you are planning on more power later it will be alot harder and more costly to raise the bar with the Procharger. Where as with a good turbo setup you can just swap out the turbo and/or turn the boost **** up
