D3 Performance Engineering Gen5 Procharger Development

[Evan@D3PE]

We finally have our development car back from getting some warranty work and we went straight back to work on our supercharger development!

The goal of this project is to develop a production centrifugal supercharger option for the Gen5 market that will produce a base of 800whp and be configurable for more power as desired

At the moment the plan is to use the F1X head unit and a front mount air to air intercooler and we intend to offer the components as a mail order system, whether it be just the supercharger system, or as a complete package with our fuel system, our clutch, and our engine management, etc.

Upgrades for more of a "Stage 2" would be boost control, possibly an air to water, and a couple other things that will be determined based on what the base version consists of.

On to the photos and stay tuned for more progress!














Reverse engineering of the gearbox:

The F1X gearbox sprayed with a powder in preparation of laser scanning



The laser scan of the gearbox ready to be converted to a solid model for the CAD program

Spacers all designed, added more pickup points to the motor, revised mounting plates:









Design has been approved and we are now making the parts in out in house 3D printer:
