3.6 Pulley?

[04EP3Hatch]

i just emailed pulleyboys about getting a custom 3.6 pulley made :) stay tuned for a reply, hopefully they can make them for us methanol cooled guys :)

this is going to be interesting.

Anyway you can get intake temp readings after the SC?
Actually... assuming you have a 3.8 currently on there, how about readings before and after the 3.6, and with and without meth.

see thats what i dont know. people have drilled and tapped the manifold after the blower and put older honda 2 bolt IAT sensors or even the GM iat sensor because it is much more responsive, but i dunno if i want to drill the manifold ya know

You do realize that the 3.8" pulley itself will put your inlet temps up around the 220-230 degree range right? And that is within only 3-4 wide open runs. Your normal running temps are going to be rediculous. You will ALWAYS be heat soaked.

When I had mine tuned on the 4" pulley, after 20-25 pulls the inlet temps never topped over 180 degrees. When I came back a few weeks later for the 3.8" tune, it only took 4 pulls cold to hit 232 degrees. I would not try this, even the 3.8" pulley, without water/meth for tuning.

yea i duno about all this. The meth and 3.8 is good. but even meth with 3.6 might be pushing it. Are u gona be tuned to be sprayin meth all the time or just at a certain PSI?

I sold him my old 3.7", so he's probably been running that for awhile now. There's definitely room for a 3.6" with proper cooling. Besides my old 3.7" was already dyno tested on a K20a2 by 02CivicSI-VTEC. He said it was the best pulley (power and torque wise) he had run up and until that point before he changed crank pulley's and swapped in a 3.2". He also did say that cooling was a must, so enter Methanol or aftercooling of some sort and with a little tuning he should be able to pull it off. After meeting, seeing his Ep3 and hanging out a little with 04EP3Hatch I don't think he's the type to stupidly run into situations without researching.
