I got mine for 125 with the ev1 to ev6 connectors.

Finally decided it might be time to do a pulley drop. With the whole cam, intercooler, bigger injectors, and a tune meant for a tiny pulley.

Ordered tonight, should have stuff on by next weekend.

Im gonna guess 3.0,3.2?

Technically that's little not big

funny

Well I currently have a 3.8, 3.4, and 3.0 modular pulley, but my MPS hub is on my ported gen 3. So I ordered another hub and a puller, and an 8 rib belt for the 2.8-3.0 pulley size.

Also got the 04+ needles that REDCOMPG sent.

I did things for a change.

Got some 04+ needles from REDCOMPG

Rerouted all my vacuum lines to hide them better, came out really nice. I still need to open the wiring harness back up and extend the TB connections now that the IC is on and they just barely reach, along with rerouting some of the wires again.

Plopped the 3.4 pulley on (still on stock injectors) and come to find out a 685 belt is too short. Needs a 690. So I said **** it and threw the 3.0 on there with the 8 rib 680, and am diligently keeping an eye on my AFRs and knock. So far I've got almost 1/2 throttle and just saw a blip of knock and let out (about 1.5*) Made 8psi though. Should be getting the injectors sometime next week, and until then, it shall be a garage queen.


So much better than stock, everyone should do this. Managed to get every needle dead on, which made me very pleased.




moved my MAP sensor and decided that I really do need to clean up that spaghetti monster back there.


yay little pulley

Come to find out the plastic barb thing was brittle as hell, so I had to contend with this


Ended up hitting it with a torch for a few seconds, then stabbed a 45* pick in there, let it cool, and it yanked right out.

Pulley coming off

Hub going back on


Tiny pulley and 8-rib belt on.

Almost forgot, took a quick video on the gopro, watch in 1080p for ultimate high definition hand closeup

Is that upper rad hose just one of those basic braided hose kits you buy from the parts store?

Pretty much. It's a brand new upper hose that got sleeved with one of those Spectre kits.

Are you gonna run the PCV correctly or just leave the breather? Doesn't it end up being unmetered air? I know you have the intercooler and all, but I've seen some oil caps that havea nipple for the PCV. Then you have to drill\tap the TB and all that, I had to drill\tap mine to have functioning PCV, wasn't really that hard.

OH GOD, THAT WHINE!!!!

Looking good! Whats next? Im going 8 rib this year with a OD balancer.

Too cold to paint. Warmest its been in the garage with the heater on is about 45. As far as the breather, it'll stay on until I decide to redo the valve covers. The rear PVC is setup and the TB is tapped. I really hate the look of a vacuum line out of the oil cap, so I'll just do it out of a corner of the valve cover to hide it a little. The whine is awesome. That was only 4kish, can't wait to hear it at 6500
