I'm wondering what pulley size everyone is using. Obviously the 2.5 pulley will produce the most power. Just trying to get opinions and see what everyone is running so when I drop my pulley size I'm just going to go with that size.

 

i suggest 2.8 after that it gets ineffective and theres the problem of overspooling from my understanding

 

Im running a 2.9 but my 2.8 is on the way to go along with my 60's

 

Wouldnt you want a pulley that gives you the power YOU are looking for...? Not just what everyone else is using?

2.8" voted anyway... Though if i had the injectors id be at a 2.5/2.6..

 

i got 60's with a 2.8, best way to go IMO, too many risks when running 2.6/2.5

 

I'm thinking the 2.8, but was thinking the 2.7 also

 

if 2.7 id say get some cooling mods. I had a friend on here that had a 2.7 with 60's and blew his motor becuase of no cooling mods and blew it up

 

yeah deff getting cooling mods

 

ok, 2.7 and if u do go 2.6 your gunna have to machine the snout down some

 

no 2.9 or 3.0 option or you just looking to run those sizes with 60's?

 

ive hardly ever seen anyone with anything smaller than a 2.7...

 

The most popular is 2.9 I would say. and the smaller the pulley is not necesarily giong to mean more power. I would do some research and come to your own decisions, because the size of the pulley is also going to determine what else you should have to go along with it.

 

That right there is just stupid and asking for it. I'm running a 2.7 w/ a HE and water/meth. I need to put my dual pass on.

 

2.7 if you want semi decent power, 2.5 if you want respectable power. 2.5 is fine if you have a custom tune from a good tuner.

And ignore everyone who says smaller doesnt give you more power, they are just dyno queens and dont realise that you might only gain a few peak HP the power you gain under the curve is far more important and improved. I saw a bigger difference going from a 2.9 to a 2.7 than i saw going from a 3.1 to a 2.9.

 

Your understanding is wayy wrong...

I guess it depends on what your looking for...

 

hmmm..........76mm here

 

Yeah 60's with the ottp h/e I'm probably going to go with the 2.8, but I was thinking about the 2.7 so I'm still not sure

 

For real, I would think most people are running 3.0 or 2.9.

Now that I have my dual pass on I will probably be picking up a 2.7 or 2.65 ring.

 

Most people run 42s with the 2.9 and 3.0

 

i have a 2.5 with no cooling mods and have no problems its been on the car for about a year boost is between 21-23

 

After the 2.8 the blower does start to get too inefficient and generate alot of heat. Most of the guys on here that are making the most power are running 2.8 or 2.7. Anything smaller than 2.7 and you really start to lose top end power.

 

Ticking time bomb. Good luck with that

 

Im going to be running a 2.7 shortly. just saving for meth before install, this in turn goes along with SMG h/e, and dual pass

 

I run a 2.8 daily in the summer, a stage 2 pulley daily in the winter, and after i get a retune i'll run a 2.7at the lowest on the M62 on the track. TVS is the true power potential for a Supercharged LSJ and slapping a really small pulley on the M62 just isn't a good idea. Very few 2.5 and 2.6 pullies run great and last long. There are some but not very many!

It's my opinion that anything smaller than a 2.7 is asking for trouble on any SS/SC that is driven somewhat daily and in all types of weather. The heat is your biggest enemy with a small pulley. Cooling mods are a must! Period!

On a race only SS/SC, if anyone actually has one, do what you want. They make a 2.3 but thats just dumb...

 

Most Common Size.........6 inches.....NO HOMO
