i got all this stuff in front of me and someone messaged me and spooked me a bit. i wanna drop this 287 pulley but im still not sure if this is totally bad for my engine i plan on replacing the pistons with lower compression pistions later on but will it last on my motor now? i got 75kmiles

 

There are folks putting down 450-600 ft-lb in stock VQ30s, and tons of turbo guys putting down 350-400. With just a 2.87 and MEVI you are probably not going to put down more than 325 ft lb so you aren't even pushing the limits of what the engine can take as long as you have it tuned within reason.

 

Well, 360whp actually is about what you should get with a MEVI and V2 S/C. (Don't TOTALLY underestimate us Nealoc)

I'm getting 339hp and I've got a lean condition up top with the A32 MAF - so that's why I say 360hp is about right - once I get the time to fix this damned thing I should be at 355-365 somewhere.

Anyway - mightbeatyou - You'll be fine. As long as your A/F Ratio stays within safe limits, nothing bad is going to happen. Read about A/F Ratios and what is needed for a 2.87" Pulley (Injectors, A/F Management, etc) and you'll be fine.

Don't PM me tho - I don't know anything.

 

I said torque not horsepower.

 

okay great good looks guys just wanted to make sure before i did anything crazy.

 

Doh!

My Bad.



However, in tq terms, that's seems overly optimistic. IIRC the greatest tq on a 2.87 is around 290.....

 

i think my dyno's are gonna impress you guys . I guess we will see tho, after this setup is all tweeked out im going for cams pistons rods valve springs, nitrous. i cant wait to see my dynos once this is done and tunned

 

Yeah I was going to say 300 but I didn't want someone to come back and say "hey I put down 307ft-lb so you are wrong" so I estimated it a little on the high side
