I called EPP yesterday to order a smaller pulley so I could have a hood on my car but he said the 3.5" pulley would overspin my blower. WHAT?
so now what do i do....

 

Give the blower to me and get a little paxton that will fit.... LOL

How much clearance do you need?

Jason

 

Can you just notch the hood a little?
----------
or get a set of matched smaller pulleys? crank and blower, that way the rpm is consistent.

 

I say cut up the hood then replace the hole with some kind of custom fiberglass job .

 

I'm not surprised.
That head unit is an entirely different beast.
There's a reason you have that larger pulley and only slightly smaller increments be usable, but not that big of a jump to 3.5".

 

i did the math and a 3.75" would be ok for the blower. and probably fit under the hood.
and for the hood comments, its fiberglass, nothing to notch lol.

 

why you didn't buy a D-1SC or a P-1SC

 

is this even with a cowl?

 

Cuz I like to go fast.
----------
I have a 2" cowl, but keep in mind the offset the blower sits in conjunction with the engine, it touches the hood on the flat portion next to the cowl. so unless I had one of those jongblowed(sp?) hoods, the size of the cowl is not going to make a differnece.
----------
I'm enquiring on the price for a 3.7" pulley + belt, said it would net me around 18-20psi. but it will clear the hood. It will also spin the blower to a max of 71k rpm.

 

What about actually moving the hed unit down a bit? Maybe re-drill the mounting holes in the brackets? Would that be possible, or is the power steering pump in the way?

Jason

 

power steering? what power steering? lol
the fender well is in the way :P

 

plasma cutter....

 

oh my goodness i will not chop up my car!
only modding i've done to it was drilling two holes in the firewall for a clean harness install. thats it!

 

You could do it and keep all strength and function if done right. I guess "plasma cutter" sounds pretty harsh.... I have seen it done for mounting turbos in 3rd gens... Just a thought..

Jason

 

Any guess on how much boost you will be running? Are we going to be doing a fuel system in the next couple of weeks? My mom also says hi and that she has her rootbeer floats ready for whenever you drag your *** up to my place to help me on my ride.

 

pick my *** up

 

Lol, come on now. You must not know Travis that well, that's wayyy too much work for him. He likes the easy yet slightly messed up way

Sorry bish, had to say it, been holding my tongue on this thread for days.

 

rookie

 

Still have that 3.5" pulley, or does Terrell?

That might be my next step eventually if it's an 8-rib..

Holla.

 

terrell has it. i only used it for a test fit.

 

Could you take the bracket to a machine shop and have them cut it dow and redrill the holes?
