Sad; My P1 ProCharger Grenaded itself!

[NOTPAID4]

Not sure IF you all know but shortly after I got my ProCharged 300SRT the system Grenaded itself. Today a friend helped me take it out and tear it apart. What a MESS! The Fan assembly is shattered, Gears and bearings. I'll be taking my time and looking and searching for parts. NOT even sure where to start. I'm NOT upset with the previous owner or anything like that; it just HAPPENED! Kind of the price you pay for UPGRADING to some SERIOUS performance @ 643 HP. HOWEVER it was so much FUN with the 643 Horsepower while it lasted ~LOL~ Even a bit SCARY to be HONEST.

Needless to say I have NOT driven the car in weeks. Only started to move in the driveway. I'll get a stock belt (http://www.custommagnums.com/forums/performance-talk/52848-sigh-my-p1-procharger-grenaded-so-sad.html#) just to start and move if necessary. I do NOT plan on driving the car the way it is. It has too many upgrades; dual fuel pumps, 1/2" gas lines, upgraded injectors and fuel rails etc, etc. And, is Tuned with the predator for the high performance options.

More than likely it'll be MONTHS before I'm able to get it repaired correctly.

Tee has let me drive her 300SRT though so I don't get withdrawal symptoms (http://www.custommagnums.com/forums/performance-talk/52848-sigh-my-p1-procharger-grenaded-so-sad.html#).

[4XLGator]

Because of the cost involved in this; it surely won't be for awhile.

Gotta watch buying highly modified vehicles from people you don't know.

Sorry to hear that Jim,however have you checked the engine to make sure it did not injest any of the sharpnel when the charger came apart. Thats why i'm not real keen on superchargers/turbos when they gernade they send all those pieces into the engine/oil system and trash it too.

[SmokedRam]

Sucks

[NOTPAID4]

Engine is fine; all damage was internal to the supercharger. I have moved the car around the yard with no problems, just have NOT taken it on the street.

I have sent out requests for rebuilds to different shops and have had two replys. One place says they have all parts in stock with a rebuilt cost of $1610. Another place has contact P1 Procharger itself and requested an RMA for rebuild. Still checking on all options. Hoping to actually get the parts and rebuild myself with the help of a dear friend that has rebuilt Three but just NOT this particular type. Search continues!

[Smitty]

Another thought...maybe under some type of warranty with manufacturer? Might help with parts, cost, etc. Might want to call/contact them direct.

Today, finally got ahold of a technician at the ProCharger company and checked on the rebuild process and cost. While on the phone, I had read about have this P1 rebuilt up to a D1 = Much stronger unit. It cost a bit more but well worth it according to all my reseach. It appears the cost would be around $1600 to have it rebuilt and up to the D1 specs. I'll be saving for this to be done asap. Sure would love to drive the Ole 300SRT again.

[NOTPAID4]

Well TODAY I sent off my P1 ProCharger directly to the ProCharger Company to have rebuilt and upgraded to the much stronger D1 ProCharger.

[Storm Rider]

Hope you get your pro-charger back soon.

[NOTPAID4]

DANG IT.... Needless to say, was here all day until just late this afternoon and got a call from Todd @ ProCharger and missed him when I returned the call. Oh Well... left him a message to call me tomorrow.

WISH ME GOOD LUCK WITH THIS >>>> PLEASE!!!

[SmokedRam]

Good luck Jim!

[NOTPAID4]

Thanks alot Adam! We should know something tomorrow.

[Storm Rider]

Hang in there Bro. Hopefully it won't be to bad.

[NOTPAID4]

Some sad news for me today.............

I'm extremely dissapointed with the call from ProCharger today as the cost is so much MORE than I had expected.

Cost to rebuild to same Ps1 = $2303
Cost to rebuild to upgraded DS1 = $2744
Cost for Brand NEW ProCharger DS1 = $ 2929

I honestly knew that was NOT going to be a cheap FIX but was actually hoping no more than $2000

I have searched Ebay and best price there for a new DS1 unit = $2799.99 and another place $2779.

Looks as though I'll be saving for a while longer..... sigh.....

[Storm Rider]

Tough break Brother. I know you will get it done.
