Pulley How to and what exactley do you need

[need4snake]

Hey can someone point me to a thread that describes exactley what is needed to do a 2.76 pulley install? I'm probably going with the billetflow, but just would like a parts list etc... I was a bit confused on the billetflow site.

Also is the 2.76 ok without any fuel or MAF upgrades? Seen a few posts that indicate the the 2.76 is pushing the edge. Thoughts?

It depends every car is different..my friends didnt need anything. U need the remover and installation tool. The bf quick change hub is nice cause once its installed u just bolt and unbolt pulley in case u wanna change stuff in the future.

Pulley remover /installer tool . Usually can pick up a used one in the market section . U may need a mafia or mass air flow sensor , your choice if needed . But that should b it as far as fuel for just upper pulley

What about an auxillary idler? are they necessary?

yeah they are...they help the belt stay tighter , less chance of slip with a smaller pulley.

edit: basically the things you MUST HAVE, in order to complete the pulley swap would be: upper pulley, pulley puller, spark plugs 1 heat range colder than stock, shorter belt, and a tune for more boost. depending on the car, you could end up needing supporting mods as well, ie: BAP, MAF, etc.

i currently have a 2.8 upper, JLT RAI, steeda cat-back, and BAMA tune. my car did not need any of the supporting mods....although my fuel system IS prettty much maxed.

Being as you live in Florida you should be fine with just adding the pulley, auxiliary idler, tune, and plugs. We sell Metco if you would like to use their pullies.

Also check the market sectoin for a used puller.

TR-6 at .032 works. Some like the BR-7's, I think that is what they are.

Be sure and use antiseize when you install any pulley too please.

Here's a more direct page for you. I like the nickel based products because they seem to last longer at higher temps. Anything is better than nothing though.

You put just a little bit on the snout shaft and just a little bit inside the pulley too. So be sure and buy as little as you can.:beer:

If anyone goes to take the pulley off in a few years they will be glad it was used on installation.

Cool, thank you sir!

These the correct ones? V-Power TR6 4177

NGK web site calls for a .054 gap (not questioning you, just curious why its so far off)
