D1sc procharger and lq4

I just bought a procharger head unit to install on my lq4 and was looking at brackets for mounting it and trying to figure out my options. Indiana muscle car makes a nice bracket but what about one from a fourth gen will that work? Can anyone share there experiance with installing this set up in a 3rd gen. This is my first try at supercharging so any insight will be helpful thanks.

Re: D1sc procharger and lq4

I've never installed one but theres been a few who tried. The closest i recall seeing was using a C5 bracket but there was fitment issues and the project was halted. That Indiana piece is your best bet and will save a lot of aggravation for you. FWIW a local friend of mine put 785 to the wheels with a DISC over clocking it through an otherwise stock LS6

Re: D1sc procharger and lq4

I have a d1sc on my setup, but my project is never ending. Every time i almost finish the car I find i need something else. I used the indiana muscle bracket with the procharger clocked in the stock position you would use for tpi kit and all custom piping and custom intercooler. think i am pretty much there now, I just need to have someone install my all new painless harness and and stand alone current harness. the engine harness is already installed right now. Also installing new fuel rails

Re: D1sc procharger and lq4

Wow that looks sweet, what alt bracket did you go with? How much boost do you plan on running? I got 4 different pulleys but i think im going to stick with 10-12 psi. Im looking for a solid 10 sec street car. I am running a th350 trans and was planning on using nitrous so i have a 3600 stall converter but now that im supercharging i think that will be too much. I have the holley hp ecu and i can get a snow meth kit for 100 bucks never been used so i think i will pick that up also. Im hoping for solid 10s in a street car on 93 octane so i hope this will do the trick.

90-Irocdx3,
Thanks for that pic like that, my Holley Hi-Ram might clear the wiper motor after seeing your pic. I'm also going to be using those s/c brackets for my D1SC 402 build. Once I finally get my engine installed I plan on taking some good pics since I don't see a Holley Hi-Ram build anywhere in here.

Any install pics? Looking to go this route soon myself and am very interested in this option. What all needs to be relocated from the stock LS1 F body bracket locations?

Re: D1sc procharger and lq4

Everything... You will need a different alt and power steering pump... And crank pulley every thing will be rearranged... My kit is pretty much the same as the pic above just my pro charger is clocked different

Re: D1sc procharger and lq4

Is there any advantages over the Indiana Musclecar setup?
