SC procharger or non sc?
SC procharger or non sc? Buying a D-1 or D-1sc procharger for my 96 T/A.. Who has experience with prochargers and can guide me to making the decision? Is it better to tap into the oil pan or have a self contained procharger? The only bad thing that I have heard about the self contained is they leak and blow seals but my car is definitely not a daily driver. I Might put maybe 3,000 miles on it a YEAR. Any advice my motor will probably not take more than 12 psi but I plan on upgrading boost in the future and I want the power now why I have the money to get forced induction.

I'd fortify your pistons rods etc. before you add a s/c if you are looking at adding anything over 10psi. Depending on mileage you are also looking at injectors,fuel pump etc. That's if you want to do it right...What exactly are you trying to do ?
Avoid the hassle and just get an SC model. You really cant tap the oil pan (sheet metal) so its best not to mess with it.
The SC models only seem to blow seals when you do alot of long trips and build alot of heat inside them. Heat means pressure, pressure blows seals.

My engine has 48,000 miles on it and like I said I may drive it 1 night a week. We figure it can handle 12 psi with that dual twin highflow intercooler. I am pretty sure I have a 9:5:1 motor but I have seen 10:0:1 motors run on 10-12 psi boost and be O.K. One day my engine will blow but when it does I will build the engine right and still have the procharger to do it with.
