I'm making my own stage 3. I plan on getting a custom pcm from ottp and then 80pound injectors the harness , heat exchanger... pretty much the whole ottp stage 3 but without the supercharger....the only part I'm not undertanding is the pulley...what size would be best for this setup

 

what fuel you running? what is your total mod list?

 

Running regular...no meth yet,...the car is completely stock n the other thing I'm puttin in with it is a typhoon CAI. Other than that there's no mods

 

just run a 2.8 with 60;s if r not going e85. extra h/e and dual pass.

 

with 80s run a 2.7 or 2.6

 

ok so basically what you want to do is unnecessarily complicate the stage kits that are already available?

 

If you want any kind of performance for stage Anything,
you need to run premimum.

 

well if you mean premium gas, yes i do use that and im not trying to complicate it ...i jus want the most i can get out if it

 

since i dont have meth yet.... should i do the 2.7pulley with 80s n heat e/x n dual pass? because i dont think you can run a 2.6 without meth. Or should i just do 60s with heat e/x and upgrade when i go meth?

 

for that i guess i just get the stage 2

 

ZZP stage kit would be cheaper than trying to piece together what you want 429.00 and that comes with a tune and the ZZP tune is a lot better than the OTTP tune. I say go with the canned setup ZZP has for the stage 3 with a 2.8" Pulley. Your really making things harder on yourself than they have to be.

 

people be talking out their ass itt.

 

thanks coopercharge and karlen89 u make no sense but ok

 

get a 2.7", that should be wonderful. also run e-85 for better performance and cooling, I would tell ottp what you plan on doing otherwise there may be some faults in the vcm they send you.

 

why do i keep reading that the zzp tunes are not good.

 

you don't need 80s for the m62 unless you run e85.

 

yea i keep reading the zzp tunes are not very good, would it be better to just go get a custom tune? i read when its idling its horrible. sounds like its going to stall and other problems?

 

cuz there really not. i had a tuned pcm from them for my previous kit and it made my car run like ****. they sent my another one with the "same" tune for my mods i had back then and it was the same thing. not such a good experience with their tune.

 

canned tunes are canned tunes. Every car that is serious about upgrading should have a custom tune for their car.

OP- if your keeping your m62 there is no need to go with 80s without e85. Technically if your worried about your idle 80s are even bigger and will idle worse.
