That is a lot of HP!

What does it run at the track?

Hey guys! Sorry been off the site for a bit, yeah I was going to max the d1 out with a 3.4 pulley in spring and see where I land, the car makes 644/648 now with the ati twin intercoolers still in place and 14#'s of boost through a stalled auto... my goals are to have it 750/750 but don't know what else I can do besides maxing the blower out and putting a big frontmount intercooler on it...

You can send the volute to Steve Morris for some internal cnc work.

Maxing out the D1SC is going to land you at about another 75-100rwhp and another 50-70 rwtq. Not sure you're going to get 750 ft/lbs unless you're talking about the converter spike.

Why? Nothing against Steve as he seems to be a nice guy but show me real world track data showing a car go quicker and faster with a modified Morris volute, etc... Thanks.

Why? Did the OP ask to go quicker and faster or did he ask for more HP/TQ and is looking for ways of accomplishing that with his D1SC?

Maybe Steve is a nice guy but a liar when it comes to his testing? Thanks

Please don't put words in my mouth or try to imply something. I never called him a liar but asked for real world proof on a racetrack. If you are implying that dyno testing is the say all end all then so be it. I rely on what happens at the track because no matter how you load a chassis or engine dyno you never simulate the real conditions of a race track and the air. No need to digress though as I was just asking a question and wonder why he would need to spend the money for a modified Morris volute.

The OP asked about a F1X and maybe I need to reread his original post. But what is the point of making more HP/TQ if you are not going to go quicker/faster? Carry on and enjoy!

So as not to confuse myself with what you want. May I ask what you are trying to accomplish by changing blowers? F1X is certainly suitable but not optimal in my opinion. Identifying your goals and reason for changing blowers would be a big help. Good luck!

I said a Morris volute will make more HP/TQ with the D1SC in question.

Nobody is asking you to agree.

Now that's pretty funny. You love the F1X so much, you're selling yours.

16 psi is all the boost I recommend going with until you go with thicker deck aftermarket heads. You should be able to hit 16 psi with your D-1SC. If you're using the stock bracket, I would go with our spring loaded Aster bracket or an SDCE bracket.

An F-1A is a direct swap for your D-1SC and will make around 20 psi of boost with a combo such as what you have. An F-1C/F-1R will require radiator mods to make room for the inlet hat. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the blower, the more power it takes to turn it. If you stick a large blower on the car and you're not utilizing the power it is capable of producing, it may end up making less power than a smaller blower, as it uses up more hp to turn it. Bob

Now that was funny.



Yea, that was a desperate sales pitch if I ever saw one.
