Well This was way easier then I originally thought. We got the 2.8 incher on. It took about 5 minutes. Word to the wise, losen all the blue bolts before taking the belt off as it holds the stock stage 2 ring in place so you can losen them. With the belt off its impossible to get them to come out.

Another thing we noticed is that the Pulley boyz ring weighs like half of what the stage 2 ring weighs. Its very similar in quality, and seems to work flawlessly. I will be resetting my ECU soon, but even without that it was noticably faster, especially in the 2500-4000 range. I took a few videos of acceloration and will have them up in a few. This is well worth it, and I love the extra power. I reused the blue bolts, and will keep this pulley on unless something goes wrong, in which case I will swap it back to avoid issues. MY bro gives it two thumbs up.

make sure you have

1.) an extra person
2.) a 15 mm wrench
3.) the GM stage 2 torque bits

Oh I got my CAB's installed today too. 60 bucks install. Glad I shopped arround, as Car V2 was going to charge me 180.... I was like WTF. They are pretty awesome too, but until I get to the track I wont be able to test them as much.

I'm tring to install my 2.8 now i just cant get the blue bolts to bresk free. Got any tips?

Xenozx

see above.

You want to leave the belt on cause it will help hold it in place. Also having a second person helps cause my bro held the stock pulley down with the help of the belt, and that helped me break all the bolts free. Once they where loose I took off the belt and took all the bolts out took pulley off put new one on then reversed the process.

Oh and I ordered my BKR7E's but they havent been delivered yet. Still running on the BKR6E's right now. Once I get them I will put em in right away, should be Monday or Tuesday.

My interceptor is back in non work mode, so I cant check knock/boost/horsepower or anything else I wanted too

titancrash

I think the worst thing that could have happened did got the first bit out started on the second one and the bit broke. any suggestions. I'm so f***ed now...

Xenozx

you shoulda got 2 bits.... Buy a wrench that can use the second?

mken

Now that I think about it, maybe I'll put the PB's screws in after all, it'll be easier to replace those bits (if I can ever get the blue ones out).

There should be 2 bits with the kit, though, one large one (for a socket wrench) and a small one (screwdriver type bit I think). That's what came with my kit.

Im thinking of something like this for the track. Could i just swap it in and then run then swap it out and not have to do any programing, etc? How much did the pulley cost and can the dealer notice it's been changed out?

max_boost

The pulley is $100 plus shipping and I doubt the dealership will notice. The pulley looks almost identical to the GM pulley.

leviticus88

Im in love!

Xenozx

Yes, but once you put it on, you WILL NOT! Want to take it off!!!!!!

OMG , WOW WOW OMG!

So much ownage tonight, not enough time to write about! Embarrassed quite a few cars, including a brand new Mustang GT, IM talking 40-80 5 car ownage!

Matty

Nice eh? I love the 2.8 pulley.
How much boost are you seeing? I get 17.5.

Xenozx

I wish I could tell you, but my Interceptor took a ****, and ah until thats up I cant see boost/KR/ or Horsepower :'(

it seems to come and go at will, so as soon as it comes back into working order I will provides lots of information !

I was boosting 16.3 before the 2.8 per the interceptor, I posted a video of it arround here somewhere.

Now the passenger is nailed to the seat when you punch it. Its really sick. I mean even if your racing or driving out of gear (like 40 mph in 3rd) and punch it you feel the power that wasnt there before. Really kool ****.

question on CAB's if I may. Does it make any sense for after the installation of these for everything to be smoother? I mean my first gear is so smooth, and my 1st - 2nd when just cruising has become way more smooth? Hell its smoother everywhere....

Blown 4-banger

you don't have a boost gauge? you only use the interceptor, I thought you had a boost gauge AND the interceptor.

Xenozx

The interceptor is a boost gauge. But its not working :'( Heres what I have when it is working:



hers what I have now :'(

Matty

Ya the boost comes on real quick.

The control arms aren't flexing as much and there is less movement. Mine were like that as well. Still nice and smooth.

Blown 4-banger

Dang dude, that freakin sucks! How much did that thing cost you?

Xenozx

It was 200 bucks, but its covered under warranty still, so worst case scenerio I just have to spend 4 bucks and ship it back to Aeroforce and wait for a replacement :'(

Blown 4-banger

You still have your stock boost gauge? I wanna see how much boost your pushin!

Xenozx

I do but I kinda custom jimmy rigged my interceptor setup LOL. I may take the time to swap it back, especially if I have to mail the interceptor back. I will keep you posted.

Blown 4-banger

ok thanks

Nuclear

oh man i hope mine gets here soon

SS_SC_Cobalt

lol, Gee I remember saying this exact thing in the other thread....

glad its on and sounds like it is kick ass!!!!

Schweet!

SS_SC_Cobalt

if you are talking about the blue bolt or the bit itself? if the head of the bolt broke, you might have to take a small drill bit and drill into the center of the bolt that is left and see if you can force it thru or use a reversable drill to get it out in reverse....or screw removers(still need to drill a small hole for the remover)

silverSS

does unplugging the battery to reset the ECU really going to help, I noticed a diff without unplugging it.........
