Gary,
Agreed. I just wanted to keep people up to date with the most recent chatter from Alpine. As for the other company, a telephone call to determine whether it is, in fact, at 53 mm pulley is simple.

maybe this is a dumb question. but if you guys are having problems with the bearings....
why not have someone make you better ones?
i know there are plenty of places out there who will make you any type and size of bearing needed. my dad has a couple of companies he uses for trailers and whatnot.

I've been lookin' at this for a couple of days, & the pic on their website is what got me to digging...now I gotta be the turd again...Originally Posted by ScottinMA
According to this...
Alpine/NGM Stage II Supercharger Pulley 2.8"
This pulley was designed by NGM to bring the boost and power level of the Alpine supercharger kit for the 2.7L Tiburon up to Stage II level. With headers and catback and the addition of this pulley, you should see a boost increase of approximately 6lbs. Total boost you should see is around 6lbs.
$165.95 $145.95
This product was added to our catalog on Sunday 14 January, 2007.
The pulley they're offering is 2.8", the 5 lb. pulley on the Alpine S/C I've got, is approx (hey, it's cold out there) 2.25" outer lip - outer lip, which would put it near 2.125" actual dia.
Check me if I'm wrong here, but increasing the size of the driven pulley is going to make it spin slower.
It would stand to reason that their 6 lb. pulley is larger than our 5 lb. pulley because they're using a larger drive pulley on the crank.
We have a 6.5", 7.0", and 7.5". This pulley set will allow you to increase boost if you do not desire to change out the blower pulley. This set will also allow you to increase boost above and beyond the upper pulley change. We have plenty of combinations for you.
Our Alpine crank pulley measures approx 5", outer lip - outer lip.

You absolutely right larry,adding the latest pulley to your guys m60 will make it slower,that's not what you guys are after.I've been lookin' at this for a couple of days, & the pic on their website is what got me to digging...now I gotta be the turd again...

So my guess is that if you guys want more power into the blower got to get both nose & crank pulley for optimus performace & more power
Dakar was just the begining.

Great analysis Dub.
As of this past Wednesday Alpine in SA was shipping the 5 lb pulley. The price was $65.00 and $10.00 for the bearing $16.00 shipping. Not bad. However, the company wanted wire transfer for payment rather than using a credit card and that cost me $30.00. Bummer but glad to get the OEM pulley.

Funny though !
Master card,amex & visa " are all accepted worldwide "

Did you get the pulley??
You have to be vary careful when these guys switch to "Wire Transfer" as most of the times you'll not see anything in return.

Today! Postal delivery required signature. A very curious postal worker tries to get it out of me......"what did ya get from South Africa?" I told him.....a pulley.....He was puzzled so I gave him a very brief version of the saga of finding the pulley from the company that once had an office in the US and was assumed by another company headquartered in SA.
Tomorrow it will be installed. I am SO happy!!!! I missed the extra ponies and torque...I had become spoiled...
Scott, good to hear your voice bossman!

I would love to have a billet crank piggyback sleeve with interchangable billet pulleys like these guys have...

I don't have the math skills required to figure out how much bigger the crank pulley would have to be to provide 6 lb boost, but the whole billet/interchangable thing has me thinkin'......

Well, if you do go forward with that project please keep me in mind. I was pretty excited about that factitious 6 lb pulley.I don't have the math skills required to figure out how much bigger the crank pulley would have to be to provide 6 lb boost, but the whole billet/interchangable thing has me thinkin'...
Super VXer
I guess I shoulda said wishin' instead of thinkin'...
However, if I ever hit the jackpot, maybe get a few sets CNC machined...

Right, it's the "size" trick Dub. I didn't even think about the listed sizes.... I was just going off of the fact that it's advertised as a "6" psi. Glad someone pointed that out at least.
