vortech pullies

[davins130]

its sunday and vortech is closed but i want to order a pulley today on the internet. i want to run 10 psi, what pulley do i need?

 

[davins130]

how much boost will the 2.75 and the 2.95 put out?

You can get 10# out of the stock one with a power pipe. That's a better route than changing the pulley...less work for the Vortech. I think the "general" guideline is 1-2 PSI for every pulley change.

well i odered the upr pipe today, the pully on there now is purple, is that the stock one or what because im only pushing 6 psi max

 

[FlyBy763]

The stock one is black...


EDIT: stock meaning the original 3.33 Vortech pulley

That would be funny, but if it was my old one I'm sure he'd reconize colorshift. I sold it at a FFW swap meet 2 years ago.

You need a 3.12 or 3.15 for 10-12#'s
A 2.75 will give you 14# or that's what I had on my S-Trim.

If you have some calipers, you can measure it.
Did you get the BTM with it or do you have another way to control timing?
Seriously, I had my timing back down to about 19 when I was seeing 11 lbs.

The Vortech ones are stamped...

Yes it should be along the outer rim on the backside of the pulley.

 

[davins130]

i got the btm, its wired in, i guess im going to get a smaller pully, i ordered the upr powerpipe so that should give me a couple more psi

 

[ProKiller]

put the power pipe in first and then if that isn't enough get a smaller pulley. and measure the pulley u have now before ordeing anything.

 

[davins130]

thats what im going to do, and im going to measure the pully now and see what size it is
