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.

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

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.

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
