Default Re: Turbo kit for crossfire!!

if you don't want to pay $2000 for a pulley it is easily modifed, by machining a ring that fits over the pulley. machine the pulley grooves and buy the new belt. you can DIY it for $300

if your interested I have the blue print for the machining of the N/A pulley into a SC pulley, or mod the srt6 pulley.

We would have to replace all of the accessorie's pullies with slimer units (are the base or limited model pulleys slimmer)? We would then have to have a custom crank pulley made with a second pully on the outside and have a new longer snout on the supercharger to line up with the new secondary crank pulley.
Obviously we would need a tensioner pulley for this as well.


This would cure both of the SRT6 issues:
1. No more belt slippage - we now have a dedicated cogged belt to the supercharger,
2. More pulley ratios - we could have a strip or race fuel only pulley and a street pulley (supercharger side) for the car in lieu of changing the size of the crannk pulley only.


I am just dreaming here...there are a bunch of things that would need to be figured out to get this to work, but it would be nice!

I guess the thing that bothers me most about the SRT6 is having to pay $900 to $1500 for a pulley(s) to increase the boost...I can see paying $1500 even $2000 to have a setup similar to the one I described above (redesign of the entire pulley setup) that would give flexibility to the amount of boost you can run and eliminate slippage.

If someone is going to go down the path of designing a pulley system, why not design a system that can be flexible and eliminate the manufactures design flaw(s) at the same time. Why purchase two systems that don't completely fix the problem (VRP -eliminates slippage; Larger crank pulley increases boost) neither gives you the chance to change between multiple boost levels.

Excuse me for rambling...I am off of my soap box now!
You all have a great evening!
