Which pulley for M113k?

Got a CL55 here. I was looking at pulleys from VRP and there are 4 different sizes. I'm thinking of going with 72 or 76mm. My car is stock and I do not have plans to go crazy with power mods. So these engines handle 72mm reliably? Or safer to go with 76mm?

I have the same car and I was gonna go 76mm until I saw how high my iat's get so first I will do split cooling which I already ordered and then I might do another heat exchanger if I see that the temps are still too high even with split cooling.

If you don't want to upgrade cooling get a 83mm the stock cl55 h/e is bigger then the e55's so I think it can handle it.

Most of this also depends on the climate I am in Miami so I need more cooling its way too hot and humid here.

and for 72mm I am pretty sure you need bigger injectors I think 76mm is the limit to the stock injectors with a good tune.

I will probably go with 76mm as this comes with tune for current mods. Then I will focus my efforts on better cooling as I'm in Vegas.

You should get a belt wrap kit too if not you wont really enjoy all the boost a 76mm gives you

https://creative-steel.com/shop/merc...belt-wrap-kit/

That one is a good price compared to all the other over priced ones

Also get torque pro app and a wireless obd bluetooth to see your iats its cheap and you can really tell when your car pulls timing..

You can but for a 76mm pulley it will still slip unless you have a super good brand new belt tensioner but I would get just a belt wrap so you know you are getting the boost for sure.

Depends n the end goal. we have an INSANE deal on 72 and 70mm pulleys right now You would definitely want to consider cooling in the near future with the 72, with 70 you will need to do headers aswell.

https://www.vrpspeed.com/product/72m...r-pulley-tune/

you do not need injectors with a 72mm

we also have 80mm
https://www.vrpspeed.com/product/80m...nd-tune-combo/


and then we have belt wraps aswell,
