Went to go my 2.85" and HE install today with Tony (Aga342) and couldnt get the pulley off with out the pulley puller and taking the SC off which was toooo much work lol.

So we put the 42s on and the sparks and we just loaded up the stage 2 tune for now and then adjusted my redline and boost in 1st and 2nd gear.

Now i just gotta figure out where im gonna go to get the damn pulley put on lol.

Thats all

 

Sorry to hear that you had trouble with getting the pulley off mate. I wish ya the best of luck with the 2.85.

Just to double check, you are upgrading to 60lbers with the 2.85 pulley correct?

 

lol...i can take off my SC in less than 15 minutes. its not that hard bro

 

screw the pulley, just look at ralliartist.... keep goin w/ the cooling mods and no extra heat. btw its really easy to take off the s/c

 

+1 for cooling > smaller pulleys.

 

i know the SC is easy to take off...we also just had stupid pullers from autozone that weren't going to really do the trick.

 

he makes NO power, he can just drive unlike most people

 

what do you mean he makes no power....colder air = power....

 

2.8 w/ 42lbers? Are you mad?

 

hes tunnnned hes making more power than stock...but yes he is also one hell of a driver AND hes on slicks.

 

+1 he never stated if he was putting the 42lbers back on, or if he was planning to use 42lbers with that 2.85 pulley.

let us know. You NEED 60lbers for that 2.85 pulley mate.

 

he makes NO power, ill say it again if i have to, if he pullies his car it will run rediculous

and 2.85 is fine with 42's , nothing wrong with it at all

no you dont

spectral send a gorilla to this guys house please lol

 

HAHAH your a joke guy. 2.85 on 42lbers at 7k rpms will have his idc's over 100% if not static. This is great. You might want to take a look at some hptuner logs before you start talking your talk.

He is making power from the colder air from all the cooling mods just so you are aware. For example, do a pull with a 160iat2 and then do a pull with a 100degree iat2, which do you think will be quicker?

 

o i know that lol, but hes not making the power a pullied car with some cooling mods will make

 

no he is not making the power he would that a car with a pulley and cooling mods would make. But he can beat a hell of a lot of cars with JUST his cooling mods because he is not getting heat soaked. Look at his 1/4mile times and compare them to others.

 

ok maybe he has a hell of a driver mod, but maybe that is what most people need to invest in before more power?

 

you really must not look at your logs man, 2,85 on 42's is FINE

and please dont try to coach me on stuff that is common ******* sense, trust me I know alot more then you think

 

I need dub in this thread he had 42s and a 2.85 and made over 260 hp and was just fine.

im not getting 60s so hush

 

oops

 

if your not going with 60lbers thats fine. I hope you have one hell of a tune. Watch your injectors and tell me that at 7k rpms you are not over 100% idc.

 

ok tell me this, how long are you at 7k for????

YOU DONT NEED 60's

my IDC's are 93 percent and i have a 2.9

 

cblt12 - I agree completely. There are many people out there who do not know how to drive properly, especially when it comes to a manual car. People neutral coasting to save gas - idiots.

In my opinion if people are going to stay with the supercharger is that they need to get all the cooling mods, and then upgrade for power. Otherwise you will be getting heat soaked like no other.

it doesnt matter how long you are at your redline. The point is that it is not good for injectors to be running above 100%. I guarentee that his idc's will be over 100% at 7k rpms.

If this was a stage 2 tune, it would be completely different. Hell 2.9s on a stage 2 aren't all that safe.

I am not going to argue with you because there are to many factors. Elevation, temps, cooling mods, etc. A lot of things are opinions on this site, some are facts. Its a fact that injectors don't like to be static and don't like to be pushed apast there limits. So watch out for that. Its also a fact that cooling mods help THESE cars out immensely.

with all of that being said i wish the best of luck to you mate.

 

idc's near redline should be high 90's wit a 2.85..cuz its not even over 100 with a 2.8 (i believe)

 

04redline and i are at sea level...both have 2.9's on stage 2 tunes and have IDC's of 93% and we are running just fine. btw higher elevation is easier to get away with a smaller pulley too.

 

wth? i would like to know since when was damn a bad word? ive had damn in plennnnnty of titles. oh well w/e.

and id expect my IDCs to be in the upper 90s at redline but its at redline....not a big deal.
