D1 is a great street blower your going to love it, once you pulley it down things get real interesting

 

We offer our larger inlet now in 3.5"
Same HP gain as the 4", however less "smashing" of the radiator.
Just the normal trimming as the standard inlet requires.





And THIS is exactly what I love seeing!

You are going to LOVE this system!
Now good luck getting traction.

 

ProCharger for the win best customer service I've ever had easy install and great people to work with.

 

I have done some little pricing research and found out that the D1sc procharger is about 1500$ more than a ECS Nouvi 1500.

Does the procharger justify the price difference!?

 

ECS makes a great kit. I had this same dilemma when deciding on what kit I was going to go with. Honestly you are not going to go wrong either way. I would look up what it takes to swap blower belts with each kit though. Some are harder than others.

The price of the Procharger kits had me steer away from them at first. My build was going to have me not using a lot of the parts that come with the normal "off the shelf" kit though so I decided to call their support line and just order what I needed. BIG mistake. I had to make three separate orders with Procharger after hearing conflicting parts lists from their tech guys and I had to pay shipping each time . Of course you wouldn't experience this since you are buying a complete kit.

Vendors on here sometimes have sales on Procharger kits which can help offset the cost. ColoradoSpeed for example offeres 8-10% sometimes.

 

Our systems used to come with polished brackets, and blower standard.
(Which cause a price gap) Along with things like the cradle, and tuning aspect.

People can now order our kits in Satin, and minus tuning which helps offset the costs a good deal, and bring the price point closer to our competitors.

 

the 1500 is a tiny blower... prochargers have a billet case so that is some of the price difference... there's a good chance the internal parts are also better... personally I would stay away from ecs, I have had a horrible experience with them and recently sold most of my kit and swapped over to a&a... after owning both companies products a&a definitely has the upper hand on quality and their customer service is leaps and bounds ahead of ecs... ecs will brag about their double bearing idlers but what most people don't know is that only the inner bearing of their tensioner idler is supported, the outer bearing is just along for the ride and held by a shanked bolt and thin washer... their washers are so thin that after removing and installing them a few times they start to fold over... a&a's idler bearings are supported by shouldered washers and they also use nice and thick high grade washers that will not deform... the two things I mentioned are just a couple of examples, it's little things like these that get overlooked by many people or maybe they are just not aware of it... the only thing ecs has an upper hand on is the ease of belt changes but if it is setup correctly you will only have to change a belt maybe once every year or 2 depending on how much you drive it... I like prochargers myself and have a d1 on my car, a&a more than likely already has the bracket you need in stock ecs on the other hand claims to not make them anymore and if so it's a "one off" so get ready to wait, and wait, and wait

 

I will not be going full standard kit... I will be changing pulleys ribs, injection. And will start somehow bigger for future goals.

 

Will probably contact you for pricing options later.

On another concern, coolant heat seems a problem in traffic with a/c on for people running centrifugal superchargers. What do you recommend to overcome that, knowing my set up and goals. Summer around here can be very very hot mid day time.

 

Thanks. .. appreciate your comments.

 

Unless you're talking 95*-105*, I don't think you'll have problems.

The easiest upgrade is to just switch to a high quality dual spal fan on the stock radiator and a 160* thermostat

I put the satin ECS kit on my ls3 A6 and love it. All I have is the kit with restrictor plate and a stainless works cat back, car dynoed 575rwhp and 507rwtq. No regrets with my decision on going with ECS.

 

Well, outside temperature may range 107 to 116 at summer time.
Coolant temperature reach 220 without supercharger. I am concerned that people have problems after putting ths sc. Do you think these fans will fix it.

 

Man, you're really out to bash ECS any chance you get. It's unfortunate that you have had a bad experience with them. I've had 2 kits from both ECS and A&A. Both are great kits, go fast, I just prefer ECS. Doug, Chris, and Matt(before he moved to the Tarpon Fishing State) have always been helpful. So has Andy, and Josh is no nonsense guy from Texas that I like.

I'm curiois to your claims about the 1500 being a little blower. It made great power on my C6 on a 6 rib belt. It put a few F1 cars to sleep when they underestimated it. I haven't seen a D1(150cfm bigger) blower equal my results without going to an 8 rib. Lethal Perfomance spun an ECS Novi 2000 to 950rwhp before the owner went to a big turbo setup since that is what it takes to be fast around here.

 

I'm just being honest, something ecs doesn't know how to do... that's why I got rid of most of their stuff, I am not going to run parts on my car from a company I cannot trust or have confidence in if I need help in the future and after switching I saw a lot of differences in the quality of parts between the 2 companies... I wasted a lot of money and time with ecs and would hate for anyone else to go through what I did... I meant the 1500 is a little blower physically, not saying it isn't any good
