Anyone got any procharger questions, just put one on yesterday AMA

Nice

 

Lol, I was laughing too. It's like on the gun forums, "You shoulda bought a Glock". (should have)
Ignore those comments. I've been pretty curious about the Pro Chargers as well. I have a buddy from college who worked for them for several years. If I ever find myself with about $6K that I don't know how to spend......
Please report back after you've had a chance to shake it down!

 

387 lb ft of torque
(HP TBD on tuesday around 350 using calculator, the dyno stopped collecting data after 3k revs)

Super flat curve for being centrifugal

Edit- Its super flat because they ran it in 3rd after i told them 4th was my 1:1 will update on tuesday with actual results

 

Just running it on 91, i read that its easier to get bigger numbers on the procharger

 

If you don't mind how much you spend for procharger right now?

241hp with procharger....not even break 300hp, any others mod you had done beside procharger?

 

i think its a typo. if not somthing is very wrong considering stock is 236

 

The dyno stopped collecting data after 3k revs

Edit - due to them running it in 3rd gear not 4th

 

That's probably just wheel hp. With bigger tires and drivetrain loss it's probably closer to 300 at the crank. Even that seems low compared to the torque numbers tho

Edit: When you plug in 381 lb-ft at 4500 rpm it does come out closer to 350 hp so that makes sense

 

Gas is back below $4.00 a gal.

 

I called and asked about the scaling on the graph, he said it didnt collect data after 3k revs so im going back tuesday and theyll re-run it for free, esp on their chart it shows it making max hp at 3350 revs

Edit - they ran it in 3rd instead of 4th after i told them 4th was my 1:1, no wonder my torque was so high and my HP was so low

 

its finally under $6 a gallon here haha

 

The dyno stopped collecting data a little after 3k revs, so im getting it re ran on tuesday, procharger kit was 7k, it should be higher when they re run it tuesday in 4th and not 3rd

 

Does it make cool sounds? Can you video them?
I'd be interested to see the follow up dyno chart when you redo the runs.
Even though the torque was lacking down low, was there still noticeably more than stock?

 

What gas are you running?

 

91 octane, just filled it with 93

 

I've got questions... More than 7 PSI?

Are you running a BPV, or are you running the TB on the SC inlet?

Any problems with surge, flutter, or overpressure?

Did you upgrade your exhaust?

If you had to do this again, would you go Procharger again, or would you do a turbo, roots, or other setup instead?

Oh, yeah, auto or MT?

 

8 psi, BPV, no i havent upgraded exhaust, its the next thing on my list along with headers, the install was super easy and i couldnt find any good twin screws for our trucks so id def go procharger again, esp cause the torque maxes out at 2400rpm, i was expecting it to be much more delayed due to it be centrifugal, automatic

 

I'm 90% sure my foray into forced induction with my Taco will involve two rather large turbos, hooked up to a LS3 or such, instead of a 1GR. Though, I'm stupid tempted to get a Holset variable vane turbo and try setting it up, but I'm too worried that I would turn my 6MT into a trail of parts in the road.

I'm jelly. Your truck probably has the guts now that it would be able to keep up, on a steep hill, with my old Baja. I miss that... Well, I think it was a truck, but lots of people call it a car, but it wasn't really a car... Thing. I miss it, I wish the transmission hadn't blown up in it, but it did, and now I have more fun offroad, and almost no fun onroad... Maybe I'll get an AE86 and stuff a 2JZ under the hood for on-road shenanigans.

 

Did you go with prochargers tune or something different? I purchased a PD supercharger last year. I kind of regret not going centrifugal. Congrats on the new purchase.

 

The manual is pretty stout, until you get over 500wtq. At least the 4wd version.
