Change of plans, keeping the car.. more power!
Thursday, July 28, 2005 8:06 AM
Well if i get a bike, i have to pay rent... so f' that.

Anyway, i priced a 10psi pully from RSM and apparently the Eco head outflows the V9 trim supercharger so high boost "theoretically" wont happen with the V9... i dunno, but i dont want to spend 650 dollars on a bigger pully that wont give me more than 7psi of boost.

So im keeping the car, and im going to juice it up with a 35 shot for now, then im going to get forged rods and crank it up to a 75 shot.

The reason im gettin the balls to put nitrous on it with the Supercharger is i will be buying a 200 dollar escort on saturday for my new daily driver... so the Sunfire will now be my weekend warrior, and if i blow it up im not out of a car until i fix it.

So i guess ill be the new guinee pig one 6psi boost AND nitrous on a ecotec.

you know you can go to a local performance shop and have one custom made? There are a few places online that you can get pullies custom made at. Usually run about 200-300 bucks. All you need to know is the shaft size, if its keyed, and how many ribs u want.

6psi of supercharged boost + 35 shot of nitrous isn't much, to be honest.

Considering you're probably getting much less than 10 hp/psi... I will assume something like the GM charger... more like 7 hp per psi...

so 6x7 = 42 whp over stock... (roughly)... + a 35 shot = 30 whp over stock (roughly)

= roughly 70 - 75 whp over stock.

.... WEAK!

That's only about 210 whp or so... c'mon you can do more. MORE! Slap a bigger shot of nitrous on it, and pipe up an intercooling kit for your charger to increase efficiency.

TURN UP THE SPRAY!
