I was tossing around the idea of getting a tvs. I was thinking about going stage 1 from otto. I figured if i was going to drop 500 on on something that had no were else to go, i should invest in something with more head room. I'm all stock right now.

1. what are the min mods for the tvs to run the same size pulley as stock? I know 60s and a good tune, anything else?

2. what would the gains be with the stock pulley size on the tvs all else being the same?

thanks

search it theres already a thread about it, think its called "those of you with the tvs"

I've read that thread. As far as i know, there isn't someone with a tvs with a stock pulley and stock everything else.

oh my b no clue, i'd say it depends on the tune you get, hard to say

what do you mean stock pulley on the TVS? You can't swap a pulley from the m62 to the TVS

i believe he means the stock tvs pulley i dont remember what size it is but its around the 3" mark

I think my post is pretty clear.....

I think the biggest pulley it comes with is 3.1, and all you need is 60's and a tune.

gains would be pretty good, but making a lot of heat, you would have to let the car cool down A LOT if you planned to run it hard at all.

once in a while going wot on the road to 70ish. I planning on doing the supporting mods...mostly from reading your thread in the future. I was just curious if can get away without them at first. thanks

Do a few cooling mods, possibly water meth and you'll have a lot of room to grow with the 60's and tune and you wont have to worry about heat.

I wish the tvs was around two years ago, I would have started with it, 60's and water meth and nothing else. Too late now though...

The largest pulley it comes with is a 3.54" pulley and after that you have hood clearance problems. That pulley will max 42lb injectors and make more power then a 2.9" pullied m62 lsj. I would not recommend getting this just to strap on there is much work that has to be done to support such a modification.

Is the 3.1 pulley the best too run with the TVS that won't creat too much heat?? WHat sorta boost will it give you?

brandondrecksage

so, you wouldn't suggest buying the tvs for my reasons? I know it won't be at is full potential till the rest of the things are there. I was just curious if i would be safe to run with a larger pulley and 60s. I was hoping for 250-260 to the wheels and trap in the quarter mile around 105-108.

You can do that without the TVS. You can probably hit 280 with exhaust and a solid tune. >_>

you can do this with hahn lvl 5

brandondrecksage

please be more clear? I eventually want 300+ whp without nitrous or twincharge. How can I hit 280 and be more reliable that the tvs?

My suggestion would always be, do your supporting mods first, not after something fails. Trying to do things by not spending now, usually costs you more in the long run, IMHO.

qft! its still a roots type blower

brandondrecksage

thats kind of the thought basis I was working with. I didn't want to spend money on stuff that would be replaced. thats why I was curious if i could run a larger pulley at first(on the tvs). I wanted to know if it was safe. I have no intentions of letting stuff break and then getting cooling mods. I was thinking since this blower is more efficant...using the same size pulley as stock would yield the same iat2 degrees, but with a gain in power.

just a thought, i was hop;ing someone tested a blower with a 3.4 or something along those lines

You can run it on the stock size pulley the 3.34" i believe that puts you around 17~18 PSI on a stock exhuast car. The car would perform similar to a 2.8 60's car probably looking at mid 13's and 104~106 trap. As mentioned though this is still a roots style blower albeit much more efficent then our stock unit it will eventually run into heat issue's which is why the supporting mods are so important.


Yes it was tested i have results for it on another forum, the car made 10 more hp the a 2.9 42lb car.

Also one thing to take into account is that although it is the same size pulley it is a much larger difference in psi and that is going to lead to heat.
