I have a 2 1/8" pulley now...I put it on ONCE...I swapped out internals a while ago, and with the smaller pulley that car is just useless on the street for just driving. However last night, I did put it on and retune it. The guys at the local weekly club meet (which are mostly tuners) didn't seem to notice the 30 other turbo'd S2000s rolling up while they were listening to the KenneBell spooling up. I haven't dynoed the smaller pulley yet but KB claims 530RWHP and 485RWTQ.

For now though till I'm used to the power I'm sticking with the 3.5" pulley...I don't want to kill the car...or myself

good stuff! i second the notion ona smaller pully!!!! get those brakes tho. btw, i'll bet that clutch takes some getting used to.
you have no idea!! I can't sit at a stop light for more than 10seconds before my leg starts shaking. But it sure can take a beating...and I have to beat it till I get the breaks swapped out

Awesome! Those Kenne Bell's look awesome under the hood all polished and gleaming. Nice numbers too!
Nothing quite like driving a SC'd car. I had a Turbo car before this, and while Turbos may be "more efficient", nothing beats driving a car that sounds like a jet taking off

I think you got some bad information. The 2 1/2" pulley is the smallest pulley KB makes. That pulley will make you about 18-19 psi and after that you start swapping crank pulley to get more. They don't have a 2 1/8" pulley. On my car, I make 15 psi with a 3 1/4" pulley and 17 psi with a 2 3/4". I don't think you have the fuel set-up to be able to even run the 3 1/4" pulley, let alone the 2.5"

My car is set up low compression also 8.4:1 so you'd probably see even more boost than me with those pulleys. I wouldn't run more than 10 psi before upgrading your fuel system IMO.

I'd go out and measure it, but whatever the 8psi pulley is, I thought it was the 3.5"

guess its the 3.75 or 4 1/8?

Those numbers with the 6 psi pulley is great! I only make 454 RWHP on my whipple with 11 psi....congrats! Luke ...use the force (d induction)...LOL
ORIGINAL: 07BOSSGT_S197

Christ!! Lemme get used to 6psi!!! I already have a Centerforce Dual friction stage 3... I REALLY need brakes though first. All go and no stop. And I can already start smelling the organics from the stock pads frying up.
