Procharger M3-SC, AW-504, Aeromotive Fuel System $3000

[Rocko C]

This is a nice setup for a 454/502 motor. It came with my 2000 Baja 25 Outlaw w/ 502 Mag MPI that I bought off Ebay in '05. When my block cracked last year, I decided not to have it re-installed on my new GM motor, I'm going bone stock with this one. Anyway, my loss is your gain. The system includes the blower (M3-SC, SN-72057), intercooler (AW-504, SN-8242) and red anodized Aeromotive competition fuel system, red anodized fuel regulator for a 454/502, Mercury Bravo I 28p RH prop & new Flo-Torq Hub kit, as well as most brackets, spacers, nuts, bolts and a Gaffrig Monster series boost gauge. This is a setup for the SERIOUS do it yourselfer or professional marine mechanic. Some of the metal fittings have a light coat of rust, such as the fittings on the fuel pump, but they can be cleaned up with a wire bursh or replaced with new fittings easily. Like I said, this is a kit that may be missing a few minor parts so you may be ordering a few hoses, clamps, etc. but then that's why this is so cheap, I'm figuring into the price the fact that you may have to do a little leg work...a new setup like this would probably be around $7K (I'm guessing). BTW - My motor had about 200 hours on it when it went. The Procharger belt was a little loose and squealing so I tightened the pulley and it went away...I also got a nice increase in the boost department. Sooooo, I got greedy and tightened it more increasing the boost up to about 7lbs. and BOOM the engine block cracked due to excessive heat due to fuel starvation. I found out the hard way that it was installed incorrectly from the get-go, the fuel/air ratio was set way too lean so the motor was running hotter than it should've been. All I can say is this...take a few dollars that you're saving by buying this setup and have it installed correctly...you WON'T be disappointed !!
