Anyone still making the 65 steel S/C pulleys??

 

Yes...but the price is outrageous!

All : Eurocharged Crossfire SRT6 Supercharger Pulley

Here's one made in Poland on ebay for 1/2 the price...

Yeah, saw the aluminum one on EBay - but heard some bad things about Aluminum. Anyone install one of these?? (aircraft aluminum in a cylindrical shape should be pretty strong - but I am not a metallurgist).

 

That seller in Poland HAD some 65mm steel pulleys. I have one of them currently on the black SRT6 rescue roadster. Seems to be nice quality and is working perfectly. Ask him if he has any more of the hardened steel 65mm pulleys . . . His name is "J" and his direct e-mail is kompressorhelp@gmail.com

He had a posting on the forum for these awhile ago and he honored that price for me . . .

The ad says you have a choice of aluminum or steel, I would suggest you do not select aluminum.
The aluminum does not handle the rivets that hold the springs in place, the holes for them become elongated, the rivets come loose and make a noise.

 

Have a steel coming,did you have to shim this or did it bolt right on? Thanks

 

I used the same shim that was on there with the OEM pulley.

 

Unless Eurocharged has changed their pulley design in the last 9 months, their pulley is aluminum.

 

I got one from Euro and it's aluminum. Mag does not stick. But.....mag does not stick to my org either. What's up with that??? Both aluminum????

 

Based on the difference in weight I would surmise that the original is stainless steel.

 

Could anyone say??? It's got me confused.

 

Thornh is correct, some stainless steels are non magnetic, some slightly and some magnetic, if I remember correctly some are magnetic until heat treated after which they are basically non magnetic.
The degree to which they are magnetic is a function of their alloys.
The OEM pulley is non magnetic, maybe slightly so but not easily noted.
Read this re magnetic and non magnetic steels.

 

Awesome! I am complete (today) because I learned something new (I may have known this before but forgot). Interesting article for sure! In cases like this its great to have this feeling of learning something new.

That's good, but as you get older you realize that you have forgotten more than you know, you are in serious trouble when you do not realize that fact.

 

Dave, it gives us an excuse for making the same mistake again, especially when those things are FUN, doesn't it? There are times that I realize I have forgotten more than some of the people who are in charge of many critical things have ever learned. Now THAT scares me because they either do things (should know) they shouldn't without regard for the results, or they just don't care about any consequences. In other words, its FUN relearning some things we have forgotten, right?

Hi IMOPAR,

Did you get the steel pulley? How's it working for you?

 

I have a steel one from the guy in poland I put on a few months ago, mine is fine is that helps. I DD my srt-6.

 

Works great but I need more cooling. I put a Johnson pump in and that helped but still need more wired it to run all the time but it set codes in the dash. when it runs it really runs now. what I did do to the car is change the springs to performance standard crossfire springs the ride is fantastic and the handling seems the same ( springs are HK off ebay) I also took the back panels out and insulated the side floor and back of seat panel big difference in noise now.

 

A 67mm steel pulley is only $90. and needs no tune, very close to the 65mm and simpler. Just something for thought. mark

 

Where do you get the 67mm steel pulley?
