New TVS owner!!!

[b_dike]

Well I finally did it... Brand new gen2 TVS, 3" upper only, 60lb inj, vmp bap, vmp3000 maf, and a Lfp sbtb. Thought I'd keep it simple to start with. At least, till I can afford to go return/ e85. So for now I just needed enough power to beat a particular friend of mine with an antique kb2.2 oke: which I did. All in good fun of course.

Lsxkilr in Bonner Springs did the tune. Unfortunately I had to remove my 100mm idler to run a 3.0" pulley. So we were getting massive belt slip at 5k. I've since replaced it with a 90, but I haven't been back for final #'s.

The #'s with belt slip... 535 @ 5500rpm / 545tq @ 4000rpm
Also I should note that their dyno reads like a mustang dyno, and my tuner said that on that trajectory on the graph, he expects to see 560ish @ 6500rpm.

Not sure where that lands me on a dynojet, but the cobra I beat made 580rwhp. Only had a car length on him from 60 - 120... He's also in a vert. So I'm thinking we are making almost identical power.

Just thought I share, and add that I love the blower. Super easy install, and the best looking blower out the bunch!

Thanks to all the vmp guys for all your hard work and design. It really shows up in the final product... :beer:

Thats weird. I'm running a 3.3 pulley with a 100mm aux idler and have plenty of room.
Well congrats either way!!

 

[Bdubbs]

How can that 3" pulley be hitting on the 100mm? I have plenty of room. Maybe it's the auxiliary bracket that you are running? I've heard billetflow had two designs. I have metco.

Congrats! Same here, 100mm snub with a 3.0 upper. Its your bracket, you may have an older design.

Heres mine:

Congrats with the new VMP TVS!!

I'm also running a 3.0" with a 100 mm snub pulley...Metco though!

 

[b_dike]

I have a link to a pic so you guys take take a look. Technically it wasn't hitting, but I had less than .020 of a gap. Just too close for comfort. Not sure if its an older designed bracket or not. Probably is, it was on the car when I bought it.

I have the latest billetflow idlers and pulley. I have very little room with my 2.93 and 100mm idler. The gap is small enough where its tough to fit the belt through.

Congrats with the new VMP TVS!!

I'm also running a 3.0" with a 100 mm snub pulley...Metco though!

Me too....with a bigger lower like you too :beer:
E-85 is the way to go!!!

 

[Woody6799]

I have the steeda bracket with 100mm idler and a 3" on my tvs... no issues here either. Def your bracket.

 

[CobraBob]

Congrats on your new TVS setup. You'll enjoy it long term. So are you going to replace your current bracket in order to go back to a 100mm idler, or are you going to just stay with your 90mm.

Thanks, I'm just going to keep the 90mm. No reason not to at this point.

Its the bracket as others have said. The LFPs, and metco's don't have a problem but the newer billetflows won't clear with a 3.0 and 100mm combo.

I run the Billetflow as it gets me better belt wrap with my 2.5-2.6 pulleys. When I go with a lower I'll just jump to the 3.0 and a 90mm idler.

Agreed :beer:

 

[oldpaint]

[b_dike]

I know ya will be... Think its about time to sell that 2.2, and get ya a tvs!!!

Given the ease of getting e85, i think I'd have to go whipple 2.9
