Scratch built Procharger

[shucky]

Hi folks, I just finished up a scratch built "Procharger" supercharger. I wanted to do a centrifugal supercharger since building the turbo's, I thought they were lonely and needed a belt driven friend

I used reference photos of a "Procharger" brand s/c as I liked its overall appearance better than the others and thought it would translate well in scale. The unit halves and pulley are just mocked up using white glue for now. Still thinking about pulleys and so far came up with 1 larger "drag" cogged pulley and one smaller "street" pulley. Each pulley has the center pre-tapped for a mounting bolt.

Next step is getting this thing in rubber and pouring some resin. More than likely I will offer the charger with choice of pulley and also real rubber belt material (both cogged and reg.) Not sure if I will build a "smaller" version of this, will have to see what interest is like.

An official announcement will be made in the resin section once molds are made and I'm ready to pour. I know some of you have been waiting for this, so thank you for your patience and hope you like what I came up with.

Further, once units are poured I will take one and do a tutorial here on the forums on building up a detailed unit from start to finish.

What about the mounting brackets? you know the brackets that you built the unit to and the other that bolts to the bigger bracket and also to the engine.

This is something I'm looking forward to.

Jim (Moparman), just as Dave mentioned the brackets would need to be application specific. I thought about making brackets but they would just be trimmed and hacked too much based on each individual application. Its best this piece is made from sheet styrene to fit whatever application your working with. Plus styrene is easier to work with (trim, etc) than a resin piece would be.

Thanks guys for the comments and interest, it means a lot. Stay tuned for updates

im gonna have to order a set, this is to cool!

the brackets are all going to be application specific so i think you will be on your own to scratchbuild those.

very excited about this one Mike! the turbo's are so nice but i'm big on supercharging.

I'm gonna have to start fabbing up a crank driven bracket set up like the super charger store mount. Maybe my drag radial chevelle has just made another direction change. My 1:1 drag car took less time to build then that thing. LOL
