I know all about the 2.6 pulley (on the m62). I am just getting a poll together to see what others think out there...

Here we go...




ps. if and when you vote... post your reasoning

 

as long as you got meth, h/e, dualpass + option b and 2 step colder plugs i dont see why not. Probably a really good idea to get header/dp/exhaust while your at it.

 

cooling mods are a must. put every cooling mod you can in there and tune the **** out of it. you'll be fine

 

you should have enough cooling mods. but on top of that, you should have a free flowing exhaust. If you still have the stock header and/or downpipe, then it's not ideal.

good luck and enjoy the torque!

 

i read somewhere online that according to eaton, anything smaller than 2.8 is all a waste. it said not to go any smaller than 2.8 because the gains would be minimal. it didnt mention anything about our cooling mods though so idk. i cant remember where i read that but i know it was on a supercharger website. sorry that prolly doesnt help ya at all. but thats why im gonna stick with my 2.8 until i decide to go turbo. if you do drop sizes and do all the mods and tuning, i would be curious to see the gains from a 2.8 to a 2.6 on a dyno. keep us posted!

 

torque, the gain is torque. And it is worth it.

 

yes torque is where its at!!!! this poll is for others not so much me... but lets keep it going peoples

2.8 to 2.6 is quite a difference! even though its only.2 it is quite a big difference, dont let numbers fool ya

 

i wish i would of tried a 2.5 before i went back to stock

 

As long as you have the cooling mods and a free flowing exhaust as mentioned you will be ok. Just make sure you or whoever tunes you knows what they are doing!

 

man up and go for the 2.5

 

meth meth meth meth meth meth...

and/or

e-85

and the 2.6 will be your friend

 

ok people who are saying dont, and OMFG... post up bitches

there is no need to run meth unless your doing back to back pulls

 

I ran a 2.7 with 42s and stock cooling for the longest time...

i know people who ran 2.5 with just a second he and 60s just fine...

meth and e85 is not needed

 

Well without meth or E85 I personally wouldnt do it, but I voted go for it if you have proper cooling mods

 

Im sorry but dont do that to your car. That is just ******* retarded dude. Injectors are BEYOND static at that point. 2.7 on 42s. With a 3.0 my IDCs were about 100%.

 

I ran a 2.9 w/ 42s and saw 113%

besides, the car just won't make good power on a 2.6 w/o meth or e-85.
Better off running a 2.8 or larger if your just gonna stick to gasoline.

 

your tune commanded too much fuel, end of story

 

2.6 is for bitches. 2.5 is where the real men are at.

With a stock intake.

 

I ran the 2.6 for a year with no cooling mods bad idea but if you have cooling mods the best pulley i feel

 

EDIT: Nvm, I got it

 

i am lookin for a 2.6 so ide say its fine with cooling mods... i am going everything besides a dual pass because i dont feel like putting it on quite yet.

 

It was slightly rich, but a 2.7 on 42s is nothing short of abusive on your car.

 

You don't NEED meth/E85 to make good numbers on 2.6. Just gotta tune it well. My buds making alomst 280whp on 91. But it will def make more power with either or and more cooling

I'm on the 2.5 and LOVE!!!! the torque.

 

agreed, not so much with meth

 

people that say dont or OMFG... SPEAK UP
