ProCharger P-1R Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 1,250 HP - 1,600 CFM - 36 PSI Max Boost - Satin Finish - PC055A-xxx
The ProCharger P-1R Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit represents the next generation of ProCharger's legendary P-series lineup, delivering an incredible combination of compact packaging and four-digit horsepower capability. Engineered for today's high-performance street cars, trucks, and race-inspired builds, the P-1R supports up to 1,250 supercharged horsepower while moving an impressive 1,600 CFM of airflow from a compact 9-inch housing.
Designed for naturally aspirated engine combinations producing approximately 300-500 horsepower, the P-1R bridges the gap between traditional street superchargers and dedicated race head units. Capable of producing up to 36 PSI of boost, it offers the airflow and performance required for serious modern horsepower goals while retaining the compact dimensions that simplify installation in today's crowded engine compartments.
Built for Modern Four-Digit Horsepower
Horsepower expectations have changed dramatically, and the P-1R was developed to meet them. Where 600 to 700 horsepower once represented an extreme street build, today's enthusiasts routinely pursue four-digit combinations. The P-1R was engineered specifically to support those goals while maintaining the compact packaging and installation flexibility that have long made ProCharger centrifugal superchargers a favorite among builders.
With its advanced compressor design, optimized airflow characteristics, and efficient centrifugal power delivery, the P-1R produces smooth, progressive boost that builds with engine RPM. The result is outstanding street manners, predictable throttle response, and exceptional top-end power when matched with the proper engine combination and supporting components.
Compact Packaging. Serious Capability.
Despite supporting up to 1,250 horsepower, the P-1R retains a compact 9-inch volute, making it an attractive solution for applications where engine bay space is at a premium. The combination of a 3.75-inch inducer, 5.56-inch exducer, 4.00-inch inlet, and 3.00-inch outlet allows the P-1R to deliver substantial airflow while maintaining the packaging advantages enthusiasts expect from the P-series.
Like other ProCharger self-contained head units, the P-1R features its own dedicated lubrication system, eliminating the need for engine oil feed and return lines. This simplifies installation, reduces plumbing complexity, and makes routine maintenance fast and convenient.
Engineered with Genuine ProCharger Quality
Every P-1R is manufactured using premium materials and precision machining to meet the demands of high-horsepower performance. A rugged billet gear case, precision-ground shafts, premium bearings, and ProCharger's proven self-contained oiling system combine to deliver the reliability enthusiasts expect from one of the industry's most respected names in centrifugal supercharging.
