Looking to have blower and throttle body ported and then pulley down to possibly a 2.5 since the pulley would be my restriction at that point. Building head over winter. Looking for info / comments from people who have done this and what were your results? Thanks

 

Save money and get a TVS if you want higher boost, if you don't wanna deal with the turbo.

TVS+3.15pulley=20psi at a higher CFM than the M62 ever thought about.

 

I wouldn't pulley down to that small of size, I'd say 2.7 the smallest

 

I'm currently running a 2.7
Also if we port blower it should run less boost shouldn't it since boost is a measurement of restriction?

 

itll run cooler as well..

 

yeah if your port the blower, the boost levels will be lower, cuz of less restriction being forced through.

Don't forget just because your boost isn't as high don't mean your making more power

 

You shouldnt be shooting for high boost numbers .... Boost is a measure of restriction (not power)

The higher CFM capability of the TVS is the selling point in your post. That's the key to power.

 

That's why I was thinking of pulleying down and retuning

 

I would, also with porting should help temps also

 

Nice. Spinning faster with smaller pulley wont generate more heat?

 

just remove the blower altogether, that way you don't have to worry about any of that pesky hot air getting into the engine

 

omg look another get rid of the supercharger comment in a supercharger thread. god you people are so helpful.
we did a swirl polish on the housing of mine and it helped us with temps. (not a ton but it helped)
also we slammed an ls4 throttle body on it and then ported and polished it out with it. lost a couple degrees of off of that as well. not to mention the 10 plus horses we got off of it...

 

i wasn't going to suggest it be replaced with anything, he just needs to remove it

 

and wtf is a "swirl polish"? lol

 

Im getting my M62 and TB ported this weekend........but im staying with 2.7 and meth for now....im going to use meth as Octane not as cooling anymore since my m62 is going to be ported and my S3 HE should be here in the next couple of days.....& Retune.........see what it does....lol

 

Ten horses and lower temps is perfect on what I was looking for. Would you happen to have a synopsis graph as well?

 

anyone who says there is no gains with a 2.5 is misinformed, the gain is torque

 

Only thing ill prob have a problem with is belt slip. Have to get tensioner

 

i may have an oversized tensioner somewhere in a box, you can have it if i can find it... but it may take a while, we're in the middle of moving everything into a new shop

 

Correct, but the damage done to the blower from a 2.5 isnt really worth it. If you don't care how long the blower is going to last go right ahead, and throw a 2.5 pulley on there. If you want a reliable setup that makes good power shoot for a slightly larger pulley, & get a good E85 tune.

 

some areas like mine dont have e 85 readily available, so 2.5 it is lol

 

haha, yeah I cant argue with that then.

 

Thanks self let me know how you make out. And only four e85 stations in CT. All for private state use

 

as long as you take a few tiny steps for preventive maintenance, (have the rotors coated) aside from that the only thing that a 2.5 would adversly affect is the coupler, which can be replaced with a ceramic one and your good to go.

i know you werent saying replace it with anything, i was just giving you **** lol
as far as a swirl polish goes, instead of leaving the housing glass smooth, we did it in a helix design to help "swirl" the air and help it move faster.... sounds weird but it works....

 

Wrong. 2.5 will eat the bearings.
