So he's getting 2 tunes?

PACougar

I suppose you could put it that way. The first tune is a box type tune(no dyno) from Jerry, the second one will be a update ran on a dyno with Jerry tuning in person.

RedBullJnky

So why didn't he just wait for Jerry to tune in person?

PACougar

Well, he'd have to drive around until then without a tune for the new pulley.

Toadster

yup - that's it - trying to coordinate installing the pulley and keeping the ECU in safe ranges for 2 weeks until Dyno day where Jerry can tweak it further

it's a Eurocharged tune, so it's free retunes LOVE THOSE GUYS!

Toadster

whoops - missed this one on the first page - WOOHOO!

PACougar

TUNED!!! I just saw Dave at the shop, and it's up and running with the new tune.

justinwrock

Sweet.


Anyone want to G2G tomorrow?

PACougar

I do, but my car looks terrible right now and I have to go to a buddy's party

Toadster

wait - a frowny face for a party? LOL

the install went well...



from idle, the car pulls like a V12 - seriously different torque curve
if you punch it while driving, it snorts like a raging bull - this is really wicked!

I think I may have some pulley slip, so I'll probably look at a shorter belt (maybe a 505 to try out)

I did the sneaky ECU reset tonight - the EC tune took a few days to really 'sink in' the last time I had it tuned - so hopefully it will be re-learning quickly and in a few days I'm sure I'll be learning how to driver her all over again

Looking good, these S/C pulleys seem to be the ticket , so far reliable, some tuning issues later, but again, proven HP/TQ. Thanks for sharing.

Toadster

yup - this pulley is pretty great - I went for a drive tonight after the ECU reset - once again I'm afraid of this car

the tech did some dissasembly and used the springs from the stock pulley because they seem to hold the tension better than the ones on the lightweight pulley - and riveted it all back together - so it's a frankenstein, but shouldn't have any of the reset issues with the shims that some have seen

only time will tell

PACougar

Mine has held a perfect gap ever since we changed them. Glad to hear you like it, Dave said it was running great!

Toadster

yes! can't wait to see what power it's making at Dyno Day :-)

I'm sure yours will be a highlight

Has Anyone Coupled this with a 180? Hows engagement etc? I' am assuming it comes out to a 188?

PACougar

Steve, I have one coupled with a 185 and the engagement is pretty awesome, well at least to me! The engagement is pretty harsh, feels like a pretty solid shift.

FT-Performance

Hows Driveability? When the S/C clutch Engauges does it buck? Do you have any Squeaks etc? Has your shim count changed?

PACougar

At least for me driveability is fine, but my other vehicle is a 900HP diesel truck so I wouldn't say I have normal expectations I guess I would say it bucks, it literally feels like a strong shift under light acceleration. Absolutely no squeaks from engagement. After swapping the spring straps from the factory pulley I haven't had to change a thing with the pulley.

Toadster

I can't even imagine the 185 + this pulley

the first day, my car bucked like wild when I punched it from 30mph - honestly snapped my neck back - I was like WTF?!

after sneaky ECU reset, MUCH more predictable - so I recommend it after a tune - same thing as before when I just had the tune - car was a little wonky because the 'learnings' didn't match the computer settings... once reset, it was a whole new ballgame

so far this pulley is pretty awesome - my wife took it out for a spin, and came back smiling

Wait till you get a custom tune on the dyno

berti_00

dammm so far good reviews on this pulley.... might pull the trigger at some point too

Toad: Doing my 50k brake flush on friday as well. How much you spending to do this, curious?

zneB-sedecreM

Cool. I guess these are yielding good results.. What I'm wondering is, what are the additional gains on top if you already have the entire Eurocharged Stage 3 with a 180mm pulley?

your effective size will be clsoe to 190mm-192mm crank pulley
