I've heard about the seals thing too, I wonder if that has been fixed in their production process.dsg_gt2004 said:i keep hearing that the seals are known to go bad and you would be better off getting the D-1SC instead..i wish i knew more about it
thats good to hear, so do you know what usually causes the seal to become bad?jg00gt said:I've had mine for over 3 years with no issues except an idler pulley wearing out. I just make sure never to overfill the blower with oil.

white96blown2v said:The best thing about the P1SC is the self contained oiling system, if it goes it won't litter (contaminate)you engine oil with metal from blower explosions. It also is alot easier installation (no tapping the oil pan).
hope this is helpful,

If something happens to your blower OR engine though, with a non-self contained system, you could risk ruining BOTH. let's say your racing, you lose a rod, and all oil pressure, guess what? supercharger is gone too. it's really easy to change the oil, shouldnt take more than a few minutes. the drain is directly underneath the blower and you should be able to access it by crawling under the car, or from the top of the engine bay if you can get a good angle. if you have to remove the blower, it takes about 3 minutes to take it off (belt tensioner, 3 bolts holding bracket, intake pipe for the front)04DarkShadowGT said:IMO its easier to tap the oil pan once rather than have to change the oil. And I believe you have to remove the blower to do so. Not sure on that though.
that self contained feature and the fact that it comes with an intercooler are a major + in my book.ProCharger GT said:If something happens to your blower OR engine though, with a non-self contained system, you could risk ruining BOTH. let's say your racing, you lose a rod, and all oil pressure, guess what? supercharger is gone too. it's really easy to change the oil, shouldnt take more than a few minutes. the drain is directly underneath the blower and you should be able to access it by crawling under the car, or from the top of the engine bay if you can get a good angle. if you have to remove the blower, it takes about 3 minutes to take it off (belt tensioner, 3 bolts holding bracket, intake pipe for the front)
Good Point. How would I get the p1sc-2 in a complete kit. They only show the p-1sc or the d-1sc in a kit for the 96-04. And the they dont give a description or comparison for every P-1sc blower, besides the numbers specs.showstopper2 said:everyone always recommends the D1 because of the P1 leaks but fail to realize the case is the same on both of them. they are BOTH suspect to leak. the F1 series are the only ones so far that have really not had this problem.
with that said I recommend a P1SC-2 for a street car. it has more low end TQ and can compete with the D1 in HP on a built motor. this blower can easily support 600hp. I was going to get the D1 originally but after talking with my tuner Mike Dez I was convinced the -2 was the way to go. I have out dyno'ed a few D1 cars in both TQ and HP which equates to better driving on the street. No seal issues either.
