Default how much boost can you run on a D1?

Ok heres the deal guys i'm using a 15# pulley currently and its def not enough I went on the Procharger site and it says in the chart that the d1 can run 30+ #s i call bs on that my pulley on the blower looks pretty small right now i dont see the D1 being efficent with no more then 20#. Does anyone know where i can get diffrent pulleys from besides procharger ?and if i can remove the pulley with the blower bolted in the car?. I know i would at least have to remove the fan shroud but is the pulley puller small enough to fit between the radiator and the blower itself? Oh btw i'm seeing about 13#s at 6k with twin intercoolers i guess thats normal? There seem to be no belt slip of any kind(took me forever to line up that 12 rib belt ) but i think i finally got it straight
thanks

I think 30 PSI is unrealistic with a 383. 20 PSI should be achievable without a problem, especially with 12 RIB belt. Oh, yea the Twin IC's have to go. You won't see much more than 15 PSI with those and the pressure between the SC and the IC's will be unbearable and inefficient. Get a big FMIC or better yet you probably need to run a Ice to Air IC (if this is a race car) to get big numbers safely.

Joe O did most of the tunnning up to 4800rpm where my intake rubber tube was sucking shut at 10psi now i'm only seeing nothing but 13.

This set up i was going to use for just one season and see where i can take it, the car is a race car/street car....it still has tags on it and i drive it on the street every chance i get. I hear somone making 800rwhp on twin intercoolers with a turbo set up if i make 700 i'll be happy.

Andre, he has a good point about the intercoolers they are supposedly not all that effecient but Ive had pretty good results with them sub 600rwhp. ATI cores might not be as good as some others cores, but I dont know specifics. I have seen a couple people say they had a measurable amount of pressure drop across them though

1FASTLS, boost is fun once you get it tuned your right. I put together a setup for a guy right around you, ATI D1SC at 8 psi, and mild cam, stock heads 550 rwhp after tuning it at Heffners dyno. Sounds like your building a stout setup too!

The way ATI rates there pullies as # pullies is bogus....... for us to even compare or know how much is left in your head unit we need to know.
1. How high are you spinning the motor to?
2. What size is your crank pulley?
3. How big is your blower pulley?
With that we can figure out how fast your spinning the blower and how close you are to maxing it out.

Good point Kyle, Also I will be tuning my 408 within a couple weeks. I'm shooting for 15 PSI on my D1SC (Pure Street/Show car), we'll see if it gets there and what kinda numbers it pulls. Stay tuned I will start a thread.

I believe my Crank Pulley is 7.750 and I know my SC pulley is a 3.4 8-rib.

Thank you for helping him out!!! Every engine is different, there is no such thing as a pulley for a specific psi. A 3.85 may make 6psi on one car and 16 on another. I have a 427CI motor, bigger than his 383, aka requiring more air than his 383, running a 3.85 pulley making 16psi at the manifold. It is all about engine efficiency. If he want a lot of boost he should just weld his intake valve shut. If he is making big boost numbers and his horsepower is lower than expected, he should spend more time on how to get that air into and out of the engine more efficiently. Concentrate on the exhaust, heads, and headers not the pulley. On a blown application, the quicker you can get the exhaust out of the engine, the more power you will make. If he has not sufficiently upgraded the components on his car, 20psi and higher can be a dangerous proposition. Happy Blowing

about getting you pulley off just use a small propain torch to heat it up then stick a screw driver behind it, it should walk right off the input shaft. just watch out you dont hit the seal, the heat wont hurt anything

We will see how much boost ya make mark.... you will be close to maxing out the D1.... 62K RPM max and you will be at 61,680 @6600 rpm.

shitty numbers so far i think my orange dryer hose tube is collapsing as well.
today it went 11:50@124mph 2.0 60ft sorry i got a 10 bolt still with auto gears 3.23s on a 6speed car 1/8 was 7.1@98mph
i'm going to try what the car dynos without the orange dryer hose also i need a msd box since i dont have one i think we are blowing the spark out.
i'm going to call ati tomorow to find out what my pulley size is. I"m spinning the motor to 6200 right now, i have 1 3/4 hooker lts with a 4" yipe mufflex 4" exhaust with a bullit muffler and a dump. so my exhaust side is fine my heads flowed 278intake/238 exhaust 81% intake/exhaust ratio so i'm pushing the air out fast but i dont think i'm pushing enough of it in and defanatly aint pushing it fast with 3.23s and a 6speed
i'll keep you guys posted , i'll try to put a msd box next week/ smaller pulley, and pull the orange dryer hose off and take it back to the dyno.

Good luck, I went 11.02@123mph with a 98 1/8th (1.50) when I was a heavy 3600 lb 422ci iron block setup.

15 psi + 383ci + good gas = low 10's I would think.

I went 10.3@136 with belt slippage, it was about 14 psi.

ok i got the specs on the pulleys 7.65 crank/3.7 blower. Just ordered a 3.4. Car is shifted at around 6200rpm. I will dyno with the new pulley and no s/c intake hose this time and see what happens. i know the orange dryer hose that makes a u turn on lt1s is defanatly ristricting my flow to the motor and wont let the s/c suck efficently.
