Default Re: Must haves with s/c pulley + intake?

boost is boost is boost. the crank pulley creates more boost by spinning the supercharger pulley faster and that equals more boost. the code3 supercharger pulley creates more boost by using a smaller sc pulley that spins faster and that equals more boost. there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in the boost between one pulley or the other. The code3 actually creates LESS heat because it creates a little less boost aka psi.

You are the only person having the heat issue with the supercharger pulley, either the clutch is bad in your pulley or the tolerances are too tight and it is causing the magnet to activate too soon or all the time.

do an exchange with code3 or just send it to them to test.

if the car only has issues with the pulley on, do not go changing the bearing in your rear wheel, swap mufflers or change your oil or look in other silly places for a problem. There is somthing wrong with your pulley.

If you honestly believe that is just a common problem then please explain to me how all the guys with the code3 pulley are running around with no other cooling mods with zero problems? I drove 5.5 hours up to MD this weekend, raced from 10am to 6pm then drove 5.5 hours home and had ZERO heat issues. Explain that if you are so convinced it is a common problem. I am running a stock heat exchanger, stock pump (lightning pump but it is a clone of the stock one) and I have zero extra cooling mods.

You are making this more complicated than necessary. Exchange the pulley and be done with it.
