Wow. There are going to be some seriously evil SRT6s running around. Sweet.

do you want to sell your evosport kit ? email me I might do at the right price.

Now were talkin' - Get ready for big fun.

This big pulley just makes these cars RIP !!

I've had zero problems with my 185mm, no S/C clutch slipping, no lean conditions, etc... Just tire spinning from a dead stop and TONS of PULL!!

You won't be disappointed.

Let us know how it works out.

Hey Brian, how much did your tune cost you? I'm getting the 185 too and going to need a tune.

You would still need the Idler and Water pump pulley.

C'mon SRT6 Dan - Pony up and get a 185mm pulley set & an SL55 Intake so we can race through town!

The factory balancer/pulley is one piece and is thus a balanced assembly; but previously I’ve discovered unbalanced supercharger pulleys on my engines that were bolted to the front of the harmonic balancers ultimately contributing to the failure of the front main bearings. Similarly in the past I’ve installed crankshaft under drive accessory pulleys and ended up with an engine shake and a balancer hub oil leak.

I’ve heard that the red line of the supercharger is just less than 21,000 rpm. How much faster do your pulleys respectively spin the blower?


Thanks for your help
Henry
Henry, sorry for the delayed reply, been a very busy week...thanks for your question...

the pulley is both internally dampened and neutral balanced prior to attaching to the crank shaft...

the 185mm pulley (the biggest we offer) spins the blower at 19,250rpms, very safe buffer zone from the max rpm of the blower...

please let me know if you have any other questions...thanks!

Can I run the 185mm safely on 91 octane? That's the best I can get in Vegas. Otherwise I'd have to mix with racing fuel like I did with my Lotus (a real PITA)

Call Jessie at 818-404-4580 and ask. I don't know what he charges for a "Box Tune" if you were to ship your ECU to him.

Yes - That's what I run mine on with no issues.

Except when I can get to the 100 Octane Pump.

Default Re: LET Motorsports Pulley Special!!

I ordered the 181 today - in the comments/remarks section I asked about any discount on the SL55 intake if I bought one of those too....just let me know. I am going to do a new intake and am leaning toward the SL55 but probably won't install either (intake or pulley) until spring (when it warms a bit).

Another question...for the ECU to adapt is there any difference in which mod to install first, intake or pulley. If so, is there any benefit to a buffer time, i.e., do the intake and drive the car for a week and then do the pulley or vice versa? (I'm probably reading too much into this..)


Thanks in advance.

Cool. Just ordered 181mm. Can't wait until it arrive. Killer 350HP+ SRT convertible.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I am still slightly confused. It’s understood that the harmonic balancer is internally dampened and balanced and it appears to be a Fluidampr, which is great news to me. But my question comes when breaking the harmonic balancer / blower drive pulley assembly down one more level:

...Is the grooved blower drive pulley, which is cast/machined separately and bolted to the harmonic balancer with 6 bolts, balanced separately prior to its attachment to the BALANCER?

...Or is the complete assembly of harmonic balancer and pulley RE-balanced as an ASSEMBLED pair once they are bolted to each other?

…Thus making the entire assembly 100% neutral balanced and not just the harmonic balancer portion of the unit.

I just need to be clear, as I’ll be balancing mine after purchase, if need be


Thanks again for your help

Also a more technical question. Other accesories on the belt are going to spin a lot faster due to a bigger pulley, does it affect the water pump or the alternator in any way?... I know they were spining very fast when the engine was at 5100 rpms with the stock 155mm, what about after the pulley swap to 185mm with the engine at 5100 rpms? the increase is exponential, so I am not asking for numbers just an opinion on my concern.

Thank You.

We are sold out of the SL55 intakes at the moment...call me and let me know if you still want to order it and we can work out a deal.

I would install the pulley, then reset the ECU by unplugging the battery. The intake can be done at the same time...no need to wait.

The pulleys use a mechanical dampener that consists of about 28 internal pieces. I don't want to get into the details of our pulley for obvious reasons. However, I can tell you that they are balanced and tested before shipping. The mechanical dampener works throughout the RPM range unlike the fluid dampened version.

There is no feasible way to balance the pulley as a whole unit other than the internal mechanical balancer.

Yes, the accessories will be spinning faster because of the larger pulley.

As far as I know, there are no issues. I have been running a 185mm on my C32 for 6 months with no issues. Other guys have ran the 178mm pulley for 70k + miles.
