Well , as some may know by now , I've had nothing but problems with my Procharger leaking oil .

So ........ I decided to give this Turbo thing a try .

A quick run down on the set-up :

4500lbs Chevy Pickup . ( Street Truck )

383sbc 8.8:1
Eagle rotating assembly
Probe pistons
AFR 195 heads
Victor Jr intake
Carb Shop 750 Blow-Thru carb EV hat with 3" of spacing

Aeromotive 1000
13301 reg , - 8 line up and back .......... :hmm:

TH400 no brake
Moser Dana 60 with 3.73 gears / 31 x 10.5WMT Slick

Digi 7
MSD Pro Billet locked Dist.
NGK 8 plugs gaped at .030

Motor makes 500fwhp N/A .

The Procharger was definitely a great little performer adding probably a little more than 300fwhp , and had my truck running a quickest time of 10.51 @ 130mph .

I have to admit I am a little sceptical about how well it will perform with the Turbo . The thing left great with the Procharger and could 60' in the 1.5s . It will probably take some time tuning to get it to leave like that with the turbo . And it might never with just the foot brake .


Anyway here's a few pics to start , and video of the way it ran with the Procharger ................. it was definitely an animal . RIP ...... :

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

that sure is a pretty truck i a don't think you will be disappointed at all with the change!

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

i like it. apples to apples comparison blower to turbo. same fuel system etc?? i would think 10.0's easy

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

With as bad ass as it is going to be with the turbo, I have to admit that it sounded pretty damn bad ass with the blower on it too. It's alright though, now it's not going to sound nearly as bad ass as it really is.

What made you change your mind and mount it on the driver's side?

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

That is a clean truck! Good luck with the build!

PS> Man I wish my truck was 1/2 as clean as yours.

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

Thanks to everyone ............

There was just a lot more room to work with on the drivers side .

The air filter will still be a problem though . Not sure what I'm going to do about it , but thats minor anyway .

Heres what I got so far for the bracket . It still needs trimmed up a little and another gusset added . Its made from chromeolly plate , and should be strong enough to swing a monkey off it . ^

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

Very nice truck! I like the bracket idea. Are you changing the dizzy?

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo



I think you will be glad you switched even though it ran hard with the D1. Very nice craftsmanship so far. Good luck

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

Thanks . I wasnt going to , why do you ask ?

Thanks . I guess the bracket is my way of not quite letting go of the Procharger . Sometimes its hard to say goodbye LOL

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

I didnt even notice that .That pic was taken before I had to change dizzys when going to the Digi 7 .

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

yes they are

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

Looks like great work so far, and on a VERY clean truck. Will you have to do any changes to the fuel / ign system or will the previous parts work with the goals in mind?

Nice build. I'll be watching this one.

 

Re: Switching from Procharger D1SC to S480 BW Turbo

The A1000 pump with -8 feed should be good to about 1000hp . I will double check with Aeromotive , but I THINK it will be fine .

As for the ignition I've got a MSD 7531 .
