SC Pulley

[MetaGTP1]

I have my new SC pulley installed. Whoa, this baby really kicks now. The pulley size is 2.5" and it gives about 2 psi more boost. Now, that is 7-8 psi of max boost in the K-ride. Can't wait for E-Town on Saturday. WOOO Doggie! :boogie:

Got any pics? Where can I get one?:)

I've been thinking of picking up TIG welding this winter, and if I do I'm going to make a custom intercooler setup. A smaller pulley would be perfect with that! It all depends on how money is, cause TIG welding equipment ain't cheap.

It's gonna be interesting to see what you're running KMan, you SC guys are getting faster and faster all the time with more tuning.

Make sure you get a stronger alternator? Didn't FastSteve blow his because of his pully? Nice job K! Good luck man!

faststeve had an underdrive pulley from RAT...

The pulley I have, spins the SC up a little faster. The underdrive pulley slows down the the accessory and that is what kills the alternator. ;)

I thought steve had his pulleys from SA, anyways, he had a set of three underdrive pulleys... three pulleys = three hours we had to help him alongside some god forsaken highway in lansing :mad:

NOTE TO ALL GA OWNERS! Don't get the underdrive pulleys :p Can't wait to see you guys on saturday, I'm looking forward to seeing how you car's running kman, any tranny slips?

RAT underdrive pullies=alternator pulley and water pump pulley. Bear in mind, his car is also a 99 and was on the original alternator - how many other people have lost their OEM alternator that were not running underdrive pullies? Yeah, I know....big stereo, right? Maybe, but are we all saying to stop installing upgraded sound systems?
All modifications have a positive and a negative....just have to acknowledge the risk and accept the trade-off.

thanks matt :huh::rolleyes: :D

YEEE-HA!

2.4 Inch Pulley on order!!! But look out, I relayed to SPAZ the site, and he is considering his options...;):cool: What an excellent site though. Glad to hear that they are so good service-wise. 2.4" pulley should give me about 20HP/lbs... there is a 2" pulley available for when I get headers and exhaust mods to rebuild any lost psi.

Should be awesome at the track if I can get the tires to plant well!!!!:thumbs:

Kman how long will it take to ship here? I believe that priority mail is about two days. Did it take much longer to reach you?

So, which one of the Boost Brothers will be the first to monitor air temps after the SC? I have an inkling that it's going to get rather steamy with a 2.4-2.5" pulley....also interested to see what kind of KR you guys will be seeing. Water injection, anyone?

KR is possible when it is so warm and humid. But when the air cools and dries out in the fall we will be seeing much more output from these pullies. Right now the heat will limit the usable boost pressure.

Water injection could be helpful nonetheless, after the SC. But why rig that for just hot temps... Worse come to worse I will change back to my 2.8" pulley and wait for the cooler weather to run the smaller pulley. Now to really cool things, the best way is with NOS, but that is only temporary and lacks the always on feature of the SC. But it is probably a lot cheaper and easier than the IC.

I gotcha guys I didn't know there was a SC pulley. I guess you learn something new every day :)

Pat I had my pulley in 2 days.:boogie:

I have the ASE chip and the shifts are firm. I hope to kick a## at E-Town. I want low 14's, if possible.;)

A second pic at a different angle.

The last, an engine shot.

That's one small pulley. Is it a keyed or press-on pulley?

You're engine always looks so shiny on the inside... looks show ready!!!;) It also looks really ready for 14's at Etown, I hope to be with you in the mid 14's. Weather is due to be in the 80's, but hopefully it will not be hot to where power is robbed significantly. The humidity may be a bit higher than desired... but I think ice will make things all good, oh and the pulley.:D

Pat Thanks,Bro. I do like a clean engine engine compartment. You and I are trying to get that Spaz, so we got to try whatever we can. True, we will need that ice and that 100+ unleaded fuel. I know we will be in the 14's. :thumbs:

Yeah, that's how superchargers work, off the engine belt. When u get a bigger pulley, since the belt is pulline at the same speed as before, the bigger pulley allows the center to spin faster, which makes the supercharger spin faster and generate more boost. I think that's a good basic description right?

Yeah, I've always had trouble with sprockets and pulleys. I always get em backwards. My go cart had a small sprocket, and that thing took forever to accelerate, but once it got past 10 mph, it would hit 40 in no time.

I went thru my mail late tonight and noticed a nice Priority Mail Box! :D It was my 2.4" Pulley from www.pulleyboys.com

I ordered her on Tuesday afternoon and got her already!:thumbs: Awesome service from this store!

Here it is, I will post a comparison pic when I get the other one off the SC Snout. The pulley has a very nice build, it has a high lip from the center of the pulley and looks ready to go!!!!

Congrats, fellow Boost Brother. Just be careful. We don't want a story like mine. Pulley Boys are good.:thumbs:

I hear ya on that!!!;) I will do the SPAZ "Changing the Super Charger Pulley - Oh Yeah I Can Do That" tutorial soon and let you know how it goes ;):D!!!

I really think someone needs to get the 2.0 inch pulley and an intertcooler and see how much power they can make. I wanna see were the tranny breaks at! hehehe

[MetaGTP1]

My wounded SC drive is on it's way to Magna Charger in CA. It should arrive in CA tomorrow. I hope it is just the bearings, because to craft a new shaft is expensive. I am hoping for the best. The BOOST shall RISE AGAIN ! :boogie:
