ProCharger P-1X Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 950 HP - 1,275 CFM - 32 PSI Max Boost - Polished Finish - PC053A-xxx-P
The ProCharger P-1X Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit advances the legendary P-series platform with ProCharger's innovative X Compressor Technology. Engineered for enthusiasts seeking increased airflow, greater horsepower potential, and outstanding street manners, the P-1X supports up to 950 supercharged horsepower while delivering an impressive 1,275 CFM of airflow.
Designed for naturally aspirated engine combinations producing approximately 300-500 horsepower, the P-1X delivers an exceptional balance of everyday drivability and serious performance capability. With the ability to produce up to 32 PSI of boost, it is well suited for high-performance street cars, street/strip combinations, autocross vehicles, drag cars, marine engines, and custom applications where efficient airflow and dependable power delivery are essential.
Powered by X Compressor Technology
The defining feature of the P-1X is ProCharger's X Compressor Technology. Developed to enhance compressor efficiency and airflow, this advanced design allows the P-1X to support greater horsepower while retaining the compact packaging and proven reliability that have made the P-series one of the industry's most respected centrifugal supercharger families.
Rather than relying solely on increased boost pressure, the P-1X is engineered to move air more efficiently throughout its operating range. This provides strong top-end performance while preserving the smooth, progressive boost curve that makes centrifugal superchargers exceptionally street friendly.
Engineered for Performance and Reliability
Every P-1X is constructed around a rugged 6061 billet aluminum gear case and uses a precision CNC-machined 7075 billet aluminum impeller, precision-ground shafts, premium high-speed bearings, and ProCharger's proven self-contained lubrication system. Because the head unit carries its own dedicated oil supply, installation is simplified by eliminating engine oil feed and return lines, while routine maintenance remains quick and convenient.
The P-1X combines advanced compressor technology with a compact 9-inch volute and proven 4.10:1 internal step-up ratio, providing dependable performance for enthusiasts who want substantial room to grow without stepping into one of ProCharger's larger race-focused head units.
This listing is for the polished ProCharger P-1X head unit. Mounting brackets, pulleys, belts, crank drive components, intercoolers, charge tubing, bypass valves, fuel system upgrades, tuning, and installation hardware are not included unless otherwise specified.
