Default Powerdyne Project Update

Just got the blower back from 928 Motorsports and reinstalled. First pull w/ 6 psi pulley produced 400rwhp. Second pull never happened! The blower stopped producing boost after first pull. 928 Motorsports is taking the blower back to look at it. I just bought the Trick Flow 515HP Head and Cam kit and the Fast 92mm intake along with the 92mm PTM Throttle Body. Powerdyne kit is going on ebay if anyone is interested. (after its fixed of course) I will be updating this thread to the Trick Flow/Fast Project soon. I should have some dyno numbers by next week.

Be safe and drive fast!

There was a thread a little bit ago about how the belts are starting to get harder and harder to find. Time to step up to a real man's blower and leave the kiddies toy behind

You are right.....I tried to save some money and it ended up costing me in the long run. I hope to be posting some numbers soon from the TF package. Superchargers are to much of a hassle, they sound like ****, and they are harsh on the engine. I will stick with heads and a cam!

Not what people tell me when they hear my street sweeper and follow me into parking lots and gas stations to talk about the car and the sweet sound.

I will swap you head units and cash. I have a stock BD11 A. I doubt you will get much more money for the 928 unit over a stock one on ebay.

No thanks on the swap and cash deal. I am selling everything as a kit includind slp maf, comp cams belt tensioner, extra billet pullies, and fuel injectors. I will let you all know what the kit sells for on ebay. And I will admit that not all SC's sound like crap but they are a lot more expensive. I bought brand new heads, cam, intake, MAF and throttle body and will have it all installed for the same price as one new SC. Plus the car will for the most part still look stock and will have no extra moving parts, hoses, fuel systems, oil lines, or cramped in 4 inch tubes. I will get you all the dyno numbers as soon as possible.

what have i done to mine.

i have polished the insides of the scroll nice and smooth.
ditched the FMU for ford green tops and a tune.
upgraded to the GT belt, last a whole lot longer.
run a set of pulleys 3.12, 2.98, 2.73, 2.50. love the 2.73 @ 9 psi.
installed the stronger bearings.
got more wrap around the pulley to help with slip.
installed an intercooler that dropped me 1.5 psi.
always wanted to try the new impeller from 928.
so far i have only rebuilt it twice in 70,000 miles, first time bearing went out,
second time was to upgrade to the stronger bearings and GT belt.
if i was to do it all over again, XB-1A with 928s impeller should make a killer combo.
a future mod looking forward to doing, an 8 rib belt conversion for better grip.
