GarageLine Prototype Pulley Review

SS_Firehawk · 04-24-2013, 09:53 PM

Are these strong enough to work with superchargers? Had to remove my NST's and I loved them.

It's not worth the risk, or the gains. THAT's why they have you take it off

It is underdriven and underdrives the SC. Adding a supercharger helps absorb resonant frequencies. I'm just wondering if it was designed strong enough to support the additional torque from the SC's. Watching a couple sub par pulleys fail (spokes failed), I would def side with the conservative route. This is def a hot topic with divided sides.

I personally wouldn't install a different pulley on a SC car. A lighter crank pulley when you have an additional item 1 or 2 being driven by the crank pulley doesn't really make sense. If underdriven it will make supercharger spin slower making less power and if same as stock diameter you probably won't notice it at all.

Exactly what I was saying. The risk isn't worth the gain.
And while lets say T-6061 aluminum ("aircraft grade aluminum" usually used in these sort of parts) is strong, it ain't that strong. Machined aluminum won't be half as strong as if it was forged.
