Procharger HO Intall Update W/Pictures... Have Questions...

[Darthmayxj]

Hey all,

Finally got my Procharger P1SC installed. Setup is the HO tuner kit from Team Beefcake that has the 3.6 inch pulley installed along with the Stage 2 intercooler. Also installed is the Reische 170 degree thermostat and Brisk 1 range cooler plugs. I have had several logs reviews with LUND and so far things seem great other than the coolant / head temps.

I burped the system last night and was able to get coolant temps down to a max of 211 degrees with a max head temp of 230 degrees. As soon as I was done with my WOT runs the coolant temp dropped back down to 195 or so and head temps were 200 to 205. I have validated that the fans are coming on as expected.

What are others with ProChargers seeing as far as temps go? I wonder if a grill delete would help? Should I try to burp the system again?

Below are a few pictures of the install!

I was seeing some temp issues after my install. Not sure if you've seen this from the Service Manual. Seemed to help with mine. Your temps don't look that outrageous, not sure if I've seen a 230 head temp, but it gets to mid 220s when I'm on it still.

WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew
the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The
cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is
loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

Start the engine and let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat is
fully open. A fully open thermostat is verified by the cooling fan cycling on at least once.

I just found this in the Chilton Manual. The fact that I got the temp down 10 degrees from yesterday tells me I probably do have air left in the system. What temps are you at now?

Do you have the gen2 version of the reische thermostat? I had issues with the first gen. All metal, no jiggle valve. My temps stay pretty consistant 181-185 and 190 cylinder head temp cruising.

And i was under the impression the system burps itself, no need for complicated procedures.

What is the easiest way to tell if I do or not?

I just did a quick search. I have the Gen 2.
