No I haven't! Good Idea! Any info you can give me on this? What all has to be moved?

I stated with mounting my intercooler and worked from it to where pro charger is, pretty much I just cut the side off of the bottom cover, where the horn is and ran my pipe above it, and the piping from inter cooler to throttle body, all I had to do was move my fuse box and ran through the hole that is already in the body. (Also have to remove air pump if u haven't yet).

Thanks for this writeup...It's certainly going to be helpful to most of us venturing into the LS1 blower world.......I'm curious to see how much power you put down with about 8lbs of boost.....I'm shooting for 525hp with a stock LQ4, Brutespeed blower cam, PRC 5.3 stage 2.5 heads, LS9 head gaskets, ARP head bolts and a P1SC....

Can I use the d1sc head unit that is used on the truck be used with the fbody bracket u have on your post?

I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the truck blowers are the. Opposite rotation. My Yukon had a p1sc on it and I just pulled it off and sold it.

Mr Monaro

Thought so, I guess I'm going to have to use the truck pulley setup for my 350z conversion build. Does Ati sell a 8rib balancer set up for the trucks

So where are you guys relocating the cruise control and fuse box to?

Wait opposite to the ls1 fbody?
I thought the ls1 was opposite to the lt1 rotation. Does this mean that a lt1 blower will be proper rotation for the truck setup? IE my lt1 blower should be proper rotation for a 5.3 and accompanied bracket?

Yes, that's correct. LS1 f-body is reverse rotation.

Any reason this cant be a sticky? Theres a lot of good info in here for newbies like me.

sweet99ss

Hopefully it will be soon... Maybe I need to bring it to a mods attention to get a sticky made?

Honestly guys, there's quite a few write-ups for Procharger installs, no offense sweet99ss. Do a search and guys have documented their build countless times. That's the beauty in doing a Procharger setup is it's really not that difficult and can be done over the course of a weekend or a few nights after work.

I doubt most could do it in a weekend or even a week honestly.... We are not talking about people who buy a brand new $8000 kit that's ready to go. And this is for getting your own parts together for a build. Find me a build that goes into the details of all the procarger parts someone needs and why they need them and than shows how their exact build went... I read through plenty of threads and before I researched for a LONG time I had no idea about prochargers because there wasn't a thread like this. I guarantee this will help tons of people get the parts together for their procharger build and than build it! Bob himself commented in here that he thought this would be very helpfull for people's builds in the future! When the biggest procharger supporter on the site comments and says he thinks it's good I think that is worth a lot! Anyways back to the thread! If it gets made into a sticky or not I know it will help many in the future!

I got 95% of mine done in 2 days after i had all my parts. Theyre a really simple setup. Build your own turbo kit..... That takes some time.... ugggg .....slow slow process.

sweet99ss

iTrader: (41)

Yes I agree once you get all the parts it's not bad. Do you have any info on installing the cxracing intercooler? Is there a lot of custom work needed to make it work or does it pretty much just all go together?

With any front mount kit, be it turbo or supercharged, you first figure out where and how you want to mount the intercooler, then plumb from the blower/turbo to the intercooler, then from the intercooler to the throttle body. There are quite a few options and ways to do it.

Here's what mine looked like:


You have to figure out a way to mount it to the front of the car. Burkhart makes a front brace that you can bolt to the car and bolt the intercooler to, of if you don't want to do that, you can fab your own brackets to bolt up to the car and mount the intercooler.

Once the IC is mounted, it's just simple plumbing using clamps and cutting when you need to.

I did it exactly like alchemist did. I copied his IC setup when i did my build. Its pretty simple. Just center the IC. I bought some angle iron, 4 bolts/nuts with some washers, and i drilled holes in the top of my bumper. I made my own spaces out of a piece of aluminum tubing from menards. Use a miter saw with a metal blade to cut ur tubing. Hold ur tubing up where u want it, mark it and cut it. One thing i would of done differently is have my IC piping bead rolled. U can make ur own bead roller out of an exhaust u bolt clamp, a washer and a pair of vice grips.
