Well i finally got my 2.9 pulley put on tonight...it really wasnt a big deal at all my uncle helped me and we got it done in less than 10 minutes and my stage2 bolts had blue loctite on them...a hammer and a chisel to loosen up the bolts got the job done.

this car runs like a ****** beast now...no more waiting for the boost to build its just there...it also seems to run a lot smoother

thanks nate!!!

p.s. for those of you that dont know you can get your pulleys from...
www.smoothflowpulleys.com to avoid ebay

 

so you can run a 2.9" pulley on stock internals and stg2 tune, belt, and injectors without blowing up your car...

 

of course i have 2.85

 

Nate makes a great product! He should be shipping my 2.9 back to me soon.

 

yeah you can...

 

2.9 is way safe for stage 2 tune and stock internals by far when you get into 2.6 or lower your gunna need to worried abotu your internals

 

adding to that, anything under 2.85" you will need 60lb injectors and tuning.

 

i really hope they know that already cause that would suck

 

Heh, a buddy of mine told some guy who just got a cobalt that he should be ok to run a 2.5" on stock setup. He called me and asked me what pulley I had, and when I told him, he goes "oh ****, I just told this kid he could run a 2.5 or 2.6 on his, I thought thats what you had"

 

well someone is gunna go boom

 

what happened to it? i love the look of my 2.9 and the thing is a million times lighter then my alt pulley (which is tiny)

 

Our 2.9 in this colder weather (anything less than 53 or so degrees) with w/stock tune is nosing over lean at 6K+ rpms in 1st gear. Warmer weather its fine, but cold weather needs a tune.

 

im goign to be building a 2.9 42.5 injectors and a hp tune to my car that will be done spring summer time though
