What is everyone else pushing with a 2.6 pulley?

 

TVS.... 25ish

 

It all depends how well you have everything else flowing. With a full exhaust i would say 16psi ish

 

16? thats it? i was pushing 15 with 2.9 and a cold air. just installed 2.6 pulley 60# injectors and megan exhaust. i was thinking at least 20.

 

im hitting 17 very fast on a 2.9 m62. 2.6 will be over 21

 

yeah thats what i thought. ill be happy with 20. but im pretty sure i can get 22 out of it

 

you will get more then 20 fer sure as long as you have full exhaust and intake.

 

how high r u revin it

 

YouTube - 17lbs of boost with a 2.9 pulley
have fun with a 2.6, im doing it once i get my car to montana have can tune to e85. revd to 7100 in the video

 

Just went 2.8 and see roughly 17.5 to 20. Depends on outside. Saw 20psi for a few days and now seeing roughly 18

 

Exhaust will lower your boost, which is good. I saw 15.5psi on a 2.7 spinning to 7200 with a fairly well flowing exhaust. I could have put stock exhaust back on and hit 20+....and been a lot slower. **** I only hit 19psi on my 2.9 on the TVS

 

well i spose im doing pretty good for a 2.9 pulley lol.

 

Boost is a measurement of restriction. If you will be happy with 20 or 22 then leave you're stock exhaust on... It doesn't mean you are making more power. With a small pulley, the lower the boost you run, the less restriction you have aka the more power you are making.

 

at a 2.6 the eaton is not making power just torque if i remember corectly you are just generating heat.

 

better have every cooling mod possible plus meth

 

I got a 2.8 @ 18psi and no cooling mods and do just fine I don't get on it all the time just once in while. Only thing is that it heat soaks faster then stock but if u race frequently or are extra safe get a heat exchange and dual pass. I wouldn't get meth unless u got a tvs but thats just me.

 

i got 2.8 and my IAT's are at about 130 after a few pulls in 70 degree weather and i just have a OTTP H/E

but meth is going on in 2 weeks...cant wait

 

You should only be seeing 15psi or so with that pulley. If you are seeing more you have a restriction somewhere. Which IIRC you are running the stock DP now right? That could be your restriction causing you too boost more and lose power. The lower the boost on the same pulley setup = the more efficient your car breathes.

We could put on a 1" exhaust and boost 30psi all day and make 170whp.

 

Exactly. More boost does not always mean more power. I saw 15 psi with my 2.8" and 17psi after installing my meth. Stock exhaust. It will vary with altitude and temp changes.
