wizard Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Wanted to gets some thoughts from those who either have or are considering upgrading their crank pulley in order to extract more power from their superchargers. Stock DE crank pulley: 5.75” Fluidamper crank pulley: 6.125 ATI crank pulley: 6.61” Simply put the larger the crank pulley and the smaller the supercharger pulley the faster you will spin the blower and hence the more power you will produce. Using calculations from Vortech’s impeller calculator, upgrading crank pulley you would still be within the blowers RPM limit. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

evilscorp Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Plan to run my fluidamper, 3.12 pulley and 32/28 cog pulleys on my v3 sci vortech (non rev-up), it should only just over spin the blower if i remember right, but the time it does this for/ the chance i actually hit the increased rev limit (7000rpm probably) will be so small it shouldn't do any damage, if maintained well. 53,000 is the max speed of the V2 SCi (couldnt find the V3 data atm.) and the speed it would go to on my setup is around 56,000 i think. Seen a few post from america saying it should be ok to over spin the blower slightly as belt slip and acutally hitting the rev limiter are factors to consider.

evilscorp Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Then it's either 928 impellar and 60,000 rpm limit or big boy V7 blowers...... need to actually get round to building my spare engine first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a play around with Vortech’s impeller calculator. You’ll find that it’s actually quite tricky to get close to the impeller limit: https://vortechsuperchargers.com/pages/impeller-speed-calculator 32/28, ATIdamper, 2.87” pulley, 7200Redline = 52,380rpm 928 state that it should be fine to overspin blower by a few thousand rpm.

scobie140 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Would the extra rpm that the alternator & power steering pump would see not be an issue to consider also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps - the US forums don't seem to think it causes any issues. Some mentioned impact to the A/C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a problem if you raise the Rev limit, but as above, not mentioned as a problem much or at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err you have the cogs the wrong way round in the calculator that would defo blow up the blower 68000 rpm lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teeth does your supercharger cog pulley and jackshaft pulley have? edit - ah yes you’re quite right, just checked supercharger 28, jackshaft 32.
