I meant drop to a 2.5 on the TVS I don't think it's as beneficial power wise as it is on the M62 though.

 

i just took the easy way and went turbo with no extra crap and the car still has plenty more room to grow. back in the day before i was on the map the 2.5 was running but some failed as well but now for that money you would spend over spinning the blower you can turbo swap. most ppl on the m62 are running around 18*+ of timing but im on 15* with 23psi of boost not even putting any stress on the motor. btw if im correct 15* is stock timing for the LSJ.

 

And those days were when you had **** to upgrade too, so putting a smaller pulley was all you guys had. Did i ever say it wouldnt make more power? No. Read. I said it wasnt smart. While some guys would probably use it smartly, i wouldnt advise someone "manning" up and using a "man pulley" when they(OP) cant even spell correctly. A lot of younger people are buying these cars now, some as their daily drivers. While a properly set up car w/ a 2.5 could obviously make more power, the average person on here is trying to get away with as little supporting mods as possible. And thats the truth. Get off your high horse like you are better...or actually...dont, its quite amusing

So in short - be a man and run a 2.5 OP... or be less of a man and run a 2.7-2.8 pulley. The choice is yours.

 

says the guy with a 14 second car.

apparently no one is aware of cylinder pressure and how it equates to torque.

2.5 = torque.

be man or go home and **** a stuffed animal.

 

no need on a tvs

 

***** and gigs?

 

hahahhaha i'm not better, just clearly been moddin cars for longer. oh and umm ya i ran the 2.5 on my car...and that was when it was my only car . Like I SAID EARLIER, I wouldn't recommend a 2.5 for everyone. I dont even think I would recommend it to the op. Just here to defend ppl like yourself that are extremely knowledgeable on modifing the lsj hahaha.

 

alleycat...if u have wes do that i want a ride haha. and u may need some more tires laying around haha.

 

Nah, like area said the 2.5 is pointless on a TVS. It'd just be fun to do it to hear people bitch in threads like this one.

 

/win

 

I still have it actually. I will add it to the goody box.

 

Ok. Thanks for all the great reponses....seems everyone has a different perspective on this. I have found the vendor he is using is Intense. I am thinking about a more conservative 2.9 stage 3 kit, ported with a a header to go with my injen intake and ark grip exhaust.

I f I go to the 2.7 would I need the cooling mods or not.

 

lol thats what i said in my original post...
and yes you will need cooling mods no matter what!
dont be one of those guys that thinks just cuz his car is running fine on a smaller pulley that it doesnt need cooling mods.
our cars love and need cooling mods.

 

INTENSE-Racing.com: LSJ - Performance Packages

 

i posted this earlier for you........Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

 

if ur just looking to slap on some power and go then the 2.5 ring is not for u. look at gm stage II or other modest packages.

 

 

:-d

 

Wow... what has this forum come to...

a 2.5 on a m62 doesn't even come close to flowing the same cfm a tvs does at any RPM.
And to be worried about blower inefficiency and heat? Run the appropriate water meth mixture and nozzle then go to town with it.

this forum is full of a bunch of wannabes now adays

 

its funny steve, since this isnt your first account, people might mistake you for a newbie.

 

This is true...

 

the highest whp blower cars all have something in common.

think about it for a second.

this relates to cooling mods and pullies.

 

A good tune?
meth?
e85?
driver mod?
or a combo of a h/e,small pulley,duel pass,option b,and meth???

 

cooling mods wise first off

my old car
380whp
2.6 pulley
cobra h/e. no other cooling mod

wsfraizer
2.7 pulley
12.6@116
cooling mods? little to none
