Do you get commission or something? Geez.. You push these products harder than the sellers

Did they just go and copy the design off the other guys who just made a sc pulley??

Toadster

no - honestly I'm curious - I think it's a smarter design for those who are looking for more streetable power and not looking to hit 9 second quarter mile times.

I've said it a hundred times on these forums - there's nothing wrong with being excited about your car and sharing

Toadster

actually, it's been posted for months...

No.

These new guys are full of comedic value.

ok - so there's no relation between the two S/C pulley designs

I was asking if anyone has tried the EC one? the site says it's equal to a 172 crank pulley...

Toadster, I answered “no” to the gent’s inquiry regarding “Did they just go and copy the design off the other guys who just made a sc pulley??,”
and referenced a Eurocharged principal’s response as to its original source for members’ edification.

Was my post not clear enough?

I just installed my EC supercharger pulley today. Took a total of 42 minutes using air tools and a lift. I raised the engine high enough to get my impact on the bolt, and luckily the pulley slid right off without having to use a puller.

Ended up not needing any shims at all, removed the 2 that were there with the stock pulley, and the clearance came right into spec.

Babied the car home without getting too hard on the gas, and will have EC remote tune it tomorrow.

So these are two different pulleys or is EC just selling the one Brooke made?

Yah?? Are these pulleys same or different

I attempted to buy two of them and was put off for over a month. They were supposed to ship the 29th of July. They also sent me two bad cables after they promised they would test the 2nd cable before it was sent. I would never do any kind of business with Eurocharged again. I'm still waiting on my money back.

Same exact pulley.

Celicasaur

Which size pulley did you go for?

Can the oem pulley be removed without an impact gun, or does it 'have' to be via airtools?

How does it feel right now, eventhough you were babying it?

berti_00

Am confused ones they were selling them now they are not???

Are they still tuning for it though

Toadster

They ran out of their first batch, supply vs demand... bummer on your cable though. I'm sure they'll make amends - EC rocks!

They are selling the S/C pulley - their current price on the pulley/tune/TCU tune is AMAZING - jump on it!

pearlpower

Not making excuses for the guys; they are 'busy'. I was told they would send me a cable months ago but I never followed up on it as I want to do a couple of more things before another tune and my car is running pretty darn good at the moment anyhow. Hate to have Jerry put in the effort just to change it up again a months later and it is not my DD. Shoot them a PM, good folks to deal with. Best of luck to you.

I already purchased their tune and tcu so all I need is the sc pulley and retune..

So what is this than
" As of last Friday, EC will not be moving forward with our SC pulley"

EC sells the pulley Brooke and Shardul designed.. Not that hard to understand

Not to answer anything for EC, but I ordered the pulley + tune several weeks ago, now it's on sale for a slightly better deal. My intention was to do the tune first, wait for the pulley since I was in no hurry, and then use their free re-tune policy, however my schedule never allowed me to get the first tune. They told me the pulley was a few weeks away, and they delivered it when they said they would. I suppose you may be able to remove the pulley bolt without air tools, however the problem is holding the supercharger (or magnetic clutch) from turning while trying to break the bolt loose. Can't comment much on how it felt, I drove the car real easy and I'm not far from work, although I did feel a little stronger torque pull around 2800-3200 RPMs. I assume this pulley will bring the torque band in a little sooner in addition to total boost at redline. Not 100% new to this as I owned a Grand Prix GTP (supercharged)for 7 years, and did similar mods to that car. I didn't want to mess with the crank pulley and don't want to get too radical with the E55.

I'm done dealing with them. I'm going to dispute the credit card charge if the money is not back on my card Monday morning. I have been more then patient with them. I ordered 3 tcu tunes, 3 ecu tunes, 1 180mm pulley kit, and 2 supercharger pulleys. This was a $3,600 order.

1. They do not return phone calls. When I started running in to problems after the second cable I got a feeling that I was an annoyance instead of a customer.

2. Shipped me a bad cable which I understand happens. Jerry told me he would test the next cable before it was sent out which they flat out did NOT do. So I get the next cable and it does not work. At this point my customer is pissed that I have been wasting his time.

3. When I talk to any of the employees I get nothing but excuses. No responsibility is taken on the part of Eurocharged for the errors their company makes. The delivery date for the pulleys was pushed back three times. The third time I was told "I didn't ship them because I thought you were going to sell it." I let Adam know that this statement made no sense, and he did not really have any reply. Why would his company care what I did with my pulley after I got it?

4. I was told my money would be refunded with a screen shot sent from Quick Books to verify my refund. I called Adam back later in the day asking where the e-mail with the screen shot was and he told he had to talk to Jerry before he did anything, but he is out of the country. If that was the case I do not understand why I wouldn't have been told this in the first place.

5. Pricing that fluctuates on a day to day basis. Jerry said he would "throw in" two free transmission tunes which sounded like a good deal. Later I found out that they include tcu tunes for the same prices I paid for just the pulley and ecu tune. My customer who paid full retail for his transmission tune found this out also and was not happy. He felt like I ripped him off.

I ended up loosing a very good customer to my business, but I was able to tell him that I had made a mistake by using Eurocharged. I'm not fabricating any part of this story. I was excited to working with these guys but after this I'm done.
