New to Comptech S/C Some ?'s
#21
Ok, if you haven't got the kit yet relax.
In your early post you were talking about a 3.4 inch pulley. This is the top pulley that attaches to the SC. If this is the only top pulley supplied then I'd advise you to order the standard top pulley from Comptech.
Now you are talking about a 'stock comptech crank pulley'. There is no such thing. The lower pulley is a piggy back pulley attached to a modified OEM crank pulley (drilled and tapped). With any kit you should get at least the piggyback and sometimes the modified crank pulley as well. If the former you have to take the piggy back and an OEM pulley (several people have spares they can sell you) to a machine shop and have it fitted.
But please don't go off half cocked. If you don't have the kit yet you don't know what you need.
If you are installing yourself another thing you need is a crank pulley tool. DO a search if you're not familiar with this.

Very interesting argument. I agree with MikeCL. Let them hash it out. Its not like theyre just calling each other names (yet! ). THere is useful info in there as well.
No, I give up. Xviper is right. The truth is that if you run 11 psi you will have no fun and it will be nothing but you spending lots of money on alot of broken parts.
11 psi = stupid idea.

I do have a crank pulley tool. Im going to wait till I get the kit till i make any decission. When I talked t othe saeller on the phone he told me tha it had a 3.4 inch pulley that made a little more boost. He was not sure if it is the one that came with the kit or not b/c he bought it used and never installed it. When I wentto comptech's page I saw the directions but i did not see a parts list????? Where can I get one????? And does anyone know the sizes of the two pullys that come with the ket???? The "piggy-back, and the upper one that goes on the blower. I know their is no such thing as a "stock comptech crank pulley" I just did not know what it was called. Do u think If i mail my stock crank pulley to Comptech will they attach the "piggyback pulley" to it?????

Ken, I can't help you with the parts list but at least I can clarify this pulley business. The "crank" pulley is the one that is on the engine's crank shaft. The supercharger drive pulley is bolted to this crank pulley, however, the "supercharger drive" crank pulley comes with the kit and has holes drilled in it so you can attach the s/c drive pulley to it. You should have gotten these two.
Then you have the supercharger "driven" pulley that is on the blower itself. It is this one that is changed with a smaller one when more boost is desired.

I don't know the history between Jason and xviper but I don't think either of you are helping answer the posters questions. This is the kind of crap that turns people off to posting in this forum.

Ken: If you need the install instructions and or a complete parts list that comes with a new Comptech S/C just let me know. I have them both If you have a parts list at least you'll know what might be missing.
