so i got w211 e55 for such a good deal don't know much about the car and could use some help, so the guy said he had upgraded pulley just wondering how i can check if its true or not, headers as well,

 

Just peak in the engine on the sides if you see shiny headers than you got headers and check the pulley visually

 

whats the original size on the pulley on a 2003 e55 can i measure it? and don't the headers have a cover?

 

Aftermarket SC pulley is the lighter color. It could also have a diff crank pulley, but I don't have a pic for that.

 

This wouldn't happen to be the one in Atlanta- silver with Volk rims?

 

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club.
Post up some pics of the car and where you bought it, might be a member here.

 

Thanks guy. But no im in California

Yea mine is a silver on the left Does that make a difference on hp or no. Chaging the crank and belt. And if anyone knows what's the orginal size of the belt?

 

If you have had the s/c pulley changed for a smaller one, then suspect it may also have had a remap. The two together can release another 50-70bhp if done properly by a known good remapper like Eurocharged.

Crank pulley changes are usually done instead of a s/c pulley. The belt will have been changed to a shorter one when the s/c pulley was done.

thanks guys for the pics ill post some of my car as well today, so guys i have another issue. when im driving the car normal in the city or freeway it shifts fine from 1st to 2nd gear but always as its going to shift from second gear to third the rpm just shoots up by maybe a 1k depending how hard im gassing it then jerks the shift then 3rd to 4th is back normal what u guys think its from?

 

Sounds like you have a slip from 2nd to 3rd. Have it scanned by a reputable shop and they can pull up the SLIP ratio between shifts. The PCM/TCU trys to get it into gear within a specified time but if the clutches are burned or worn this time will be exsessive because the TCU can not compensate for it. Hopefully that is not the case.

 

r u in norcal or socal?

 

on my blower pulley the one on supercharger says made in japan so im sure thats not stock, but its silver, and the headers r like that goldish color does that mean its stock?

 

socal

 

just post pix then we can tell you exactly.

 

Are you looking at the supercharger bearing? If so, mine says made in japan as well. It may be a OEM SC pulley with a new bearing inside.

 

Nachi in Japan makes the stock bearing. Excellent quality, and much better than the no-name crap on the 'bay. If you were to replace it, you would want to go Nachi.

 

 

 

That is a stock pulley.

 

yea? everything is?

 

The "SS Supercharged" stickers on the doors should be worth some HP.....
