ProCharger F-3D-106 Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 1,800 HP - 2,200 CFM - 38 PSI Max Boost - Satin Finish - PC314A-106
The ProCharger F-3D-106 Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit is engineered for maximum-effort race combinations that demand substantially more airflow than the F-3D-102 can provide. Rated to support up to 1,800 supercharged horsepower while flowing as much as 2,200 CFM, the F-3D-106 gives serious racers the compressor capacity required for aggressive drag racing, marine, land-speed, and custom competition applications.
Designed around engines producing approximately 550-750 naturally aspirated horsepower, the F-3D-106 is capable of generating up to 38 PSI of boost. Its centrifugal compressor builds boost progressively as engine RPM rises, helping deliver controllable power lower in the operating range before supplying the airflow needed for hard-charging upper-RPM performance.
More Airflow and Horsepower Than the F-3D-102
The F-3D-106 is the higher-capacity configuration within the F-3D lineup. Compared with the F-3D-102's published 1,500 HP and 1,900 CFM ratings, the F-3D-106 increases capability to 1,800 HP and 2,200 CFM. Its larger 4.2-inch inducer gives maximum-effort race combinations additional compressor capacity while retaining the same 10.5-inch volute and 38 PSI published boost ceiling.
This measurable increase in airflow makes the F-3D-106 the stronger choice for builders whose engine combination has outgrown the F-3D-102 or who want additional compressor headroom for future development. Selecting the correct F-3D model should be based on the complete engine, crank-drive, pulley, fuel, intercooling, and tuning combination rather than peak horsepower alone.
High-Flow F-3D Compressor Architecture
The F-3D-106 uses a 10.5-inch volute, 4.8-inch inlet hose connection, 4.2-inch inducer, 6-inch exducer, and 3.5-inch outlet hose connection. Its 3.15-inch outlet inside diameter supports the high-volume airflow path required for properly prepared competition engines.
A 5.63:1 internal step-up ratio and maximum impeller speed of 74,000 RPM allow the compressor to reach the operating speed needed for its published 2,200 CFM airflow capacity as engine speed increases.
Self-Contained Race-Oil Lubrication
The F-3D-106 features ProCharger's proven self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need for engine oil feed and return lines. Its published oil capacity is 6 ounces of Race Oil, reducing external plumbing while keeping supercharger lubrication and scheduled service independent from the engine's oiling system.
Unlike the F-3D-102, the F-3D-106 is listed with a reverse-rotation option. This gives fabricators and race builders greater flexibility when planning head-unit placement, crank-drive configuration, bracket design, and belt routing for custom installations.
Built for Maximum-Effort Competition Engines
ProCharger rates its F-3 superchargers around maximum-effort race engines rather than the high-horsepower street-engine basis used for the F-1 and F-2 families. The F-3D-106 is therefore intended for properly engineered race combinations with the crank drive, fuel system, intercooling, bypass capacity, engine hardware, and calibration required to use its airflow safely and effectively.
This listing is for the satin-finish ProCharger F-3D-106 head unit. Mounting brackets, pulleys, belts, crank-drive components, intercoolers, charge tubing, bypass valves, fuel-system components, tuning, and installation hardware are not included unless specifically stated elsewhere in the listing.
