what mods do i need to get away with running a 2.6 pulley on the stock s/c other than the 60lb and proper tune? will a H/E? do the trick for cooling?

 

Dual pass, HE, and phenolic spacers would help you lots

 

O and also headers dp combo... And zzp suggests cams or valve springs i believe? Not sure though

 

Get upgraded trans mounts if u don't have any btw....

 

And check if ur intercooler pump is still running..if not... Get a new one off zzp for 100 which is a great deal... Its a life saver lol

 

i have...60lb,h/e, header, dp, catback, ls4 t/b, 3in Intake, plugs, stage 2+ clutch, flywheel, short throw, tune...i just wanted to see what was safe to run the 2.6 if i can get away with just getting a dual pass on top of the h/e ill go that route

 

Dual pass, opt b, and he..or zzp's new heat exchanger and call it a day...for cooling

 

a 2.6 is gonna make a **** ton of heat, you need meth or e85 for that.

 

I have a 2.6 zzp pulley and a few meth parts for sale if you are interested.

 

Wat vander said..

Forget everything eles.
Slap a meth kit on and a duel pass and a tune. Good to go

 

None of these really help for cooling. They help recover IAT's faster after a pull.

If you are going to run that small water/meth or E85 would be highly recommended.

 

 

Go sit in the corner turbo!

 

im sitting here laughing so hard at this for some reason.

 

true fact right there but e85 doesn't do **** for iat2 cooling

 

This is true but your neglecting to inform people that e85 doesn't react to heat like gas does.

 

e85 burns cooler nothing more

e85 is really good at suppressing knock but not pre ignition the octane on pump e85 is really inconsistent due to the blending process is done at the pump and the slow burn rate of e85 will allow an engine to make more torque and horse power low in the rpm range but the slow burn rate hurts an engine to make more power in the upper rpms

 

Do you have a link or something that explains pre ignition, iv never read about it so I dont understand it or what causes it.

Dual pass is not a temp recovery mod, it slows the climb of iat2 during a pull.

OptB is not a cooling/recovery mod itself. Only indirectly by making sure your system is operating at capacity.

Front mounts are a wash, at least the currently available ones. The only nice thing about them is that due to the larger coolant capacity of the system, iat's will climb slower during the first pull/run due to more availability of "cool" coolant.

I do not recommend running a 2.6 on a gas car. At all. Unless you're going to get creative with custom cooling mods.

 

Personally for me when I installed my dual pass, H/E and option B I did a comparison before and after on the same day and I never noticed any lower IAT2's after the same pull but my IAT2's dropped much faster after it.

 

so i read the article (thanks to mr b) and i have a question. lets say we go WOT or close to it and i know in the lsj's fuel is cut when we back off and we run lean after a certain rpm. so is it ok to say don't just jump off the throttle? or is just a gradual slow down good?

the option b tank is a cooling mod worth doing it works better then the dual pass the option b constantly bleeds the system less air more water contact on the cores and h.e. equals better cooling

as for front mounts one that is most worthy is the dual pass off of the cobra mustangs works very well the griffen is another bad ass unit as for the zzp stealth I would like to try one

as for running a 2.6 plenty have done it with no help (cooling mods) and im sure plenty will continue

dual pass is for recovery times I have ran a single pass and a dual pass and as for temp control neither slowed down the rise but what mad a difference was water/meth I even tried the phenolic spacer no help there either as now I am running a stock manifold

 

I have yet to see a lsj get destroyed from dfco

 

haha!! I'm glad it hasn't happened I'm just trying to grasp the full concept of air/fuel i have a understanding of it but i want to learn a lot about it
