What's up guys I went out about 2 weeks ago and bought a 2006 cooper S. I've done the Alta intake so far. Car is clean 62000 miles and a clean carfax with tons of maintenance.

I'm currently looking into buying a supercharger pulley. I'm seeing a few different brands and wanted to know which one is the better of them all. Looking at the 15% pulley.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

Alta makes a good one, Way Motor Works also makes a good one. As far as the size, the general consensus is that if you are going to take your car to the race track...go with a 15% pulley. If you are just going to be driving on the street, go with a 17%.

I went with a 17%....couldn't be happier.

 

I've heard that also but then I hear about heat issues with the 17% + pulleys.

 

You only have heat issues if you are running high RPMS for long periods of time......like when you are driving on the track.

For a street car that only sees short bursts of pedal to the floor moments....the 17% pulley is the way to go. You will have more boost on the top end, and it will come it at a lower rpm. All things that are great on the street

 

Okay cool. I'll look into that pulley. Yeah I definitely wouldn't be full throttle for long lengths of time lol. When you went to the 17% was it a big difference over the stock one ?

 

My car is a JCW, so it came with a JCW pulley on it....I think its close to a 14 % pulley, I could feel a boost in power going up to the 17%, but someone with a stock pulley will notice a much bigger gain than I did. You will be going from around 10psi of boost, to around 17psi......that makes for a healthy boost in power and torque. .....a new pulley is THE best power building mod for the money.

 

Sounds great. Thanks for the info I appreciate it

 

i have the wnw 15 on my 2004 and it's a world of difference.

 

When you do your pulley, you might want to go ahead and put a new belt on it....and put a set of the colder JCW spark plugs in the motor (NGK BKR7EQUP)

 

Awesome. Keep hearing it's the best mod bang for your buck. Guess it's true lol.

 

Yes I've seen a kit with pulley belt and plugs. That's how I'll order it. From wmw
