My Rebuilt Engine.......

[Marauderjack]

Got everything back together today after sending the LEAKY P1SC back to ProCharger for their upgraded seals and.........WOW....WOW....WOW! !:eek::burnout::beer:

It really is much better than before......new belt with no oil on it......no belt slip and the motor seems to have loosened up some.......NEW REAR TIRES next!!:burnout:

Now on to 500,000 miles....if I live that long!!:bandit:

Very HAPPY!!:D

How much did it run u and what was the turn around time? Mines leaking also.

[Marauderjack]

Long story short.......I have had FOUR P1SC "Leaky Heads" and have complained for 9+ years but this last one was horrible!!:argue::mad2:

It leaked from both input and output seals and made one HELL OF A MESS....worked fine but messy!!:( I read all the stories on several forums and ALL agreed that ProCharger had a problem...eventually I had a long talk with Jon Bond..see here: https://jonbondperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=26_142_157&products_id=700&zenid=n4cur9nouubd994jbnao76c0 v7

Jon suggested I send it back to ProCharger one last time so I contacted my buddy who is in "Inventory Control" now and he pulled a few string and got my unit repaired ($468.50) and back to me in less than 2 weeks!!:beer:

ProCharger admits they had inferior seals for a long time (confirmed by Jon Bond) and they went to a new sealing system along with different bearing pre-loads back in 2012 (2 years after I got my last rebuild)!!:mad2:

Jon Bond said if the current rebuild leaks he can fix it and guarantee it for 3 years......funny how a little competition can change things!!;) I really think ProCharger finally (under pressure...no pun intended:rolleyes:) figgered it out....only time will tell?? :cool:

Stay tuned!!:burnout:

[martyo]

Jon is a good dude!

[Marauderjack]

Jon is a good dude!

He seemed to be a "Straight Shooter" on the phone Marty!!:beer:

I came real close to sending the "LEAKER" directly to him but he said to give ProCharger another chance!!:beer:

Next time I make plans to see my sister in Charleston (south near Folly Beach) I have GOT to make arrangements with you to meet up.
I'm such a scatter brain when it comes to this ****.

[Marauderjack]

Come on Rich....right on the "scenic way" to Folly and you are welcomed anytime!!:beer:

mine was ~$700 and a few weeks. all seals, bearings and fasteners replaced = mandatory. nothing else was bad.

How disappointing. Hotrodding is fraught with problems to be overcome, this sounds ugly. Hope it is truly fixed once and for all.

[teamrope]

Glad to hear she's back in service.

Not looking forward to having to send my head unit in for the new seals. It's not leaking that bad yet so I will probably wait till after Vegas.

[Marauderjack]

Since I've had so many leak complaints my "buddy" at ProCharger put a rush on mine......less than 2 weeks back to me and normally this time of year it would be 4-6 weeks turn around time!!:shake:

You may consider trying Jon Bond......but if it's not leaking bad I'd wait 'til turn around is better at ProCharger...call 'em and see!!:bandit:

Good Luck!!:beer:

[Marauderjack]

Got the ProCharger back and have about 500 miles on it.......so far.....DRY!!:beer:

Steve and I have been working on WOT shift points and for some reason we were coming up with with shifts at about 5500 RPM's regardless of RPM set points??:confused:

Found out today that the OEM "MPH Shift Points" were the culprit....he moved them up and.......WOW......1-2 shift at 6300 RPM's and 2-3 at 6000+.......did I say WOW!!??:eek::D

The SCT Dyno tuning is absolutely essential with a blower IMHO and it also gives amazing throttle response that I never had with the FIT Diablo "Canned Tune".......I'm truly a BELIEVER now!!:burnout::beer::eek:

Now.......on to 500K miles with lotsa SMILES!!:D;)

[Marauderjack]

At 2300 miles the new motor is smooth and strong.......no apparent leaks and the ProCharger is even dry for a change!!:beer:

Steve and I are working on a "Valet Tune" for blower cars for when you take it in for service work and don't want the "Wrench Monkeys" destroying your car!!;)

Looking at limiting shifts to 3000 RPM's with max speed of 60 MPH....thoughts??:confused:

[MMBLUE]

Awesome !!! Great to hear Jack. Don't you love when a plan comes together.

[Marauderjack]

Most definitely and especially the fact that the motor has basically "forged internals" and conservatively tuned......hopefully will make it to 500,000 miles!!:beer::burnout:

Welcome to 2004!!! :D

[8UWITH6]

Yes, when mine was in paint jail it had 2900 rpm rev limiter. :)

BTW, if you have any questions related to your Procharger or need references I know a few of the guys there. Their shop is a couple miles down the road from me. Glad to hear the car is running well.

Thanks.......

I have had a looooong and strained relationship with ProCharger and they seem to have come around on this 5th rebuild......so far so good!!:beer:

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Don't let the blower hear you! LOL;)

You said you were "working on a valet tune" and my point is they have been around for a long time and should only take Steve about five minutes behind his keyboard and that is if he stops to have a can of Coke while he is doing it!

[JBeezy]

Mine leaks a little, but nothing to be worried about. Although I would like if it didn't at all

Oh....I wasn't aware but think it's a good idea!!:beer:

Other way is to put same size tires all around and unplug the Traction Control switch....top speed 35 MPH!! Don't ask me how I know!!:shake:
