Norris Motorsports / Miranda Built Procharger M6 - 643 RWHP/585 RWT

Hey All,

I do not have a dyno sheet to post, but I helped another local shop put the combination together. It is a D1SC with a 4.5" pulley, on of my base SC cams, ARH LT's with cats and Magnaflow axle back.

The first base run was 558/517 running her to about 5000 RPM and the fuel was off the scale rich. I made a few changes in fuel and timing and the next run was 643/572 and running out of fuel. I said to myself "holy crap" and backed her down a bit to be sure she was as safe as I could get it. The next run was 625/585 with about 10-12* on top.

For now we are going to pulley her down and add a BAP and try to be at a nice 600/560 area safely. This was on pump gas and no meth making about 11-12 PSI. It also had a set of either 21" or 22" wheels on it.

What I did notice was that the intake air temps are actually higher then a TVS 2300 since the filter is right on top of the header. On the big number runs I had a fan blowing onto the filter area and the temps were in the 125* area on the IAT which was close to the TVS 2300 I did earlier in the day.

Overall an evil car.

On the TVS2300 car, it had ARH LT's and a Borla exhaust and made 540/530. All in all a good forced induction day

Nice results !
But How do you plan to keep the intake temps in check with the hood closed?
I'd consider this sort of setup if could be done in coordination with a ram induction hood

Thanks Patrick

I mentioned the IAT to make a point at how bad a location the air filter is on the Procharger. It can make a good amount of power and just needs a nice intake system.

I do not think a vented hood will help as the first run was made with the hood up and no fan on the filter area. So it seems the heat generated off the headers will be quite a feet to overcome without getting the filter in a better area.

What I did like out of the tuning sessions was learning that the Procharger set up in relation to the brackets and drive will support some good power.

Theres soo much air going threw the engine compartment when your driving its not even funny. Won't be an issue.

Please do not take this the wrong way....Those are great numbers, but...

How long do you expect a motor like that to hold together?
I think the same thing when I see these high priced packages putting out 600-650HP, but they dont address the transmission or rearend.

All that power can be fun, but it does you no good when the intake charge is blowing by the piston rings, or you break a drive axle...

That is why ZZ Motorsports has begun a "supercar" style of project that will be ready for the spring 2010 cruise season. You will be looking at a fully developed Camaro with one of the highest HP ratings, and all backed by a warranty!!!
...We plan to address all of these issues which I mentioned.

One of the positive issues of a centrifugal vs a roots style is even though it makes that huge amount of power and is pushing fairly high boost levels, is that the shortblock only see's those #'s for a short time period (at peak). The boost is progressive with rpm, so even though its making say 10psi, it only does that from say 5500rpm - limiter, so the shortblock is subjected to much less (average power and psi)...vs roots where you are full boost pretty much off idle, the torque is like 500rwtq from 2G on nearly, ie the power is more instant and the shortblock is subjected to more power over more rpm (more average power and psi)....obviously there will be a limit but I think most would agree that if power output is in the same ballpark (say 550rwhp roots vs say 575-600rwhp centrifugal) the centrifugal is easier on the shortblock...I may be over generalizing but I think this is the general thoughts.

TO the OP, in general congrats! how many psi was the TVS making earlier in the day?

The rich dude, maybe there is but I do not see how having the filter on top of the headers can be good at all. I saw higher IATs with the procharger going down the road then the TVS2300. Otherwise a great product.

ilovemytdi, with the new wheels and tires on this car, I do not see that happening unfortunately.

ZZ, if you go back and read my posts more carefully you will see that I agree that it was too much for a stock engine. That is why I pretty much stopped there and tried to pull her back some. It was supposed to be 7-8 PSI and ended up quite a bit more. Procharger is sending another pulley and belt to slow this down. I have built several different cars over the past 25 or so years like you mention and completely understand a balanced car.

pharmd, the TVS2300 was in the 5-6 PSI area.

Thanks again

Mike Norris

Mike is well known to tune "conservatively" with longevity in mind if you car isn't completely built or a track only car. That is why Mike has many loyal customers. My stuff will last, can't say that with confidence about others I read about on the interweb. Nice job, good to see where the fuel systems maxes out at.

I understand that you noticed it, and were making it more conservative... I was more implying to some other companies out there who send cars out there with 650HP and no other modifications that support it.
I know your reputation, and you put out some quality cars, I was expressing a concern about a couple of other vendors whom think that as long as it survives 30-50k miles, that is enough!!

if you make or resource parts out that will make the tranny and rearend stronger I would love to buy them from you.

Why wouldn't you put the fan on the intercooler?

Do a log on IAT while you are driving down the street or going down the highway on a full throttle pass. I bet you see a much better number. IAT numbers are always going to be high on a dyno, its the nature of no air velocity under the car.

We do lots of air flow testing as a kit is being developed. That being said the inlet on the Procharger system was designed to offer the most air flow relative to the inlet temps provided. You need to remember the further away you move the inlet you trade air flow for temp. With that you have to run smaller pulleys and turn the supercharger harder to pull in the same amount of air, which is also going to create more heat.

In all honesty dyno IAT's are rarely calculated for us. We run temp probes in at least 8 different spots around the inlet, before and after intercooler, and in numerous places in the engine bay to find the best location for the air filter again taking into account air temp/pressure loss. Then we take the car outside on the road and test. We test on rainy days, cold mornings, hot afternoons and any other weather we can. We log miles and miles of data to conclude a system that makes HP. Safe reliable HP.

I just want to reassure everyone that we have done our testing, and we are very confident in our system making great power, stock or otherwise.
