D3 Performance Engineering Gen5 Procharger Development

[Redx]

Designing the bracketry around this head unit will allow some versatility between different combos if needed. We feel the F1X should be a "best of both worlds" since a simple pulley change can turn 800whp into 1200+ pretty easily.

We also intend to offer boost control as an upgrade which would allow for boost to be controlled just like a turbo car with simple adjustments made in cabin.

Will this bolt up to a gen iv as well?

wow, never heard of a boost controller with a centri blower being spun by the belt. How are you guys doing that if you don't mind me asking.

I would guess it is just a pressure modulator to the bypass valve?

I've heard of a few guys doing this with other applications - you overspin the blower, and then bleed off the excess when you don't want it. It allows you to build boost faster earlier in the RPM range, giving a more robust torque curve.

Probably compromises the blower over time. But worth it lol

Too bad the ProCharger iCharger would not fit, that would give you boost profiles from Centri to roots style, can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

We would have to get a car here to confirm. I'm sure there would be differences somewhere.

True that but we've got a few tricks up our sleeves

With our optional boost control feature, the end user will be able to choose the pulley combination to make the max power they wish to make, say 1100whp, but they wish to drive around the street with only 750whp, the system will bleed off the excess boost to achieve this, the blower would still spin its normal RPM set by the pulley choice and would not over spin the head unit unless the end user has set it up this way. For people choosing to use our ProEFI package, they can do boost by mph to help with traction, flex fuel boost settings (low for pump, high for E85), and can also use the fail safes, so if a fault is set the boost will be dropped to the min level set and limiters will engage, same as a turbo car.

[Crotalidae]

Awesome!!!

[notfa5t]

Excited to see more information and progress on this.

[slovenom]

D3 ftw!! I don't have a Gen5 but doesn't mean I won't in a few years

[ViperPete]

Dang.... variable boost depending on mph?

That is pretty damn wicked.

[Jiaim]

modulable with a wastegate on the pressure piping.

[DZnutz]

This looks very promising... but ill hold off on the praises until I see some pricing.

I really hope there is enough development to use the stock PCM. As someone who has had an aftermarket EMS before, I have no desire to go down that road again. The stock PCM is the key to making these kits "affordable" IMO.

I have spoken to a tuner and STOCK PCM using HPtuners he was able to achieve 8psi , just needed to address fuel. Edward said he was able to achieve 17psi if i recall on hptuners. So we are all good in that Dept. no need to spend $$$$ on after market PCM.

This kit looks to be in the earlier stages and could be some time before it hits the market...

They should have been doing this on the Paxton gen 3 cars all along. The ones that are very lazy on the low boost pulleys.

I would imagine if the kit is affordable this would be a must. You wack 6-8k off the build using HP tuners.

I wouldn't throw that big of a price tag on the EMS lol and you can't forget that just to unlock for HpTuners is $1000. Either way we are exploring all the options and hoping to offer the package in stages with options to suit each customers preference.

[slovenom]

I think this kit will b around 14,999$ installed

If I had a gen5 I would b comfortable with that price...to put on a paxton on my gen2 is gonna cost me about 10 n we're talking about a dinosaur. ..

Kudos to D3 for pushing the envelope

[RoyV101621]

This looks delightful.

Would it be improper to add this to my wedding registry?

Not if her dress is made of Nomex

Thats really impressive evan
you guys are doing a really good job .. we cant wait for the outcome on these venoms
and am sure alot of people on this forums are interested already and am one of them .. keep us posted buddy

[Disturbed]

The crank snout hasn't really changed over the years. In the Gen2 we would snap them off. Can you do anything you can do to help that?


Get that ZF 8sp to work and I'm back in a Viper.

Moe, based on some of your videos, I'm sure there are a lot of people around you who hope you don't get one.
