What all is required? I plan on putting on a D-1SC Procharger later this year, so I'm curious as to what needs to be upgraded if I want to run more than 8lbs. of boost. And maybe a guess on the price too... Thanks

 

it does work, and there is so much info out on this site!

 

Did but it doesn't show what exactly is being "forged"

 

nevermind, I found it. there was one post about it.. just wasn't searching for the right thing

 

all you need is piston rods and a crank if you just forging a stock motor you can keep the crank cause it will go all the way up to 1000hp by its self but you will also need to upgrade your fuel system your fuel pump and injectors. you also need to get better heads and so on and so on just all the boltons.

 

Yeah I know I need to upgrade the fuel system.. already planned on doing that. I was just curious on what internals need to be upgraded to run over 8lbs. of boost. So pistons, and rods? Is that all?? What kind should I look into getting and any idea how much they cost?

Thanks

 

if you want an exact price so you know exactly what is all needed i would contact one of the sponsors to the right. contact bob at epp b/c they sell the prochargers and im sure everyone there would be more than happy to help you get what you need

 

Also some good bolts!
THE RED "BLUR" is right about the factory crank! They see 1000hp before they start to flex, i have never heard of a LS1 crank breaking...yet.

 

Hmm, alright.. Depending on the price, we'll see if I'm going to do it.. Wasn't planning on it, but I KNOW I'll want to run over 8lbs of boost lol.

 

Good pistons, rings, and possibley rods. Depending on power level you may be able to reuse your rods, and crank. Reusing the crank can save you a lot of $$$

 

Almost forgot, upgrade those rod bolts for sure.

 

What kind of pistons/rings/rods should I look into getting? I know I could call Bob @ EPP and ask him, which I will.. but he's not open now and I wanna know what I'm looking at spending before I ask him, in case it's not in my budget.

And if the crank is good up to 1000HP then I won't be upgrading that lol

 

For a decent set of budget rods: Compstar, Eagle, Scat, K1.

For Pistons: Diamond, Wiseco, Mahle, J&E, probably a couple others.

Keep the stock crank, you'll be fine with it.

 

Yeah, rods and pistons are all you would need to upgrade. But while you're at it, if you have extra cash, why not stroke it out to a 383?

 

Ok thanks, I'll look into them today.

 

Hm.. might be a stupid question.. But what would that do?

 

Figure another thousand bucks for a new crank if you want to go the 383 route.

 

Oh if you do go to a 383 you'll need a new crank?? And what will stroking to a 383 do, just make more power?

 

GOOD ADVICE...

 

Yea more cubic inches means more power and you'll gain some good torque
