How To Help to choose a Pulley for my Mini R52 supercharger
Help to choose a Pulley for my Mini R52 supercharger
I will have to replace my pulley on the supercharger.
I have 2 doubts:
1) 11% or 15% reduction?
I'm tempted to make the 11% reduction like a stock JCW, but correct me or give me some suggestions.
Consider that I installed the original intercooler of a Mini GP with 2 extra rows.
2) Interference installed pulley or 2 piece pulley with bolts.
In the case of the 2-piece pulley, I am afraid that the pulley could slip out although in my opinion, using the correct tightening torques and threadlocker I think that this should not happen.
On the other hand, the interference installed pulley worries me about how far I have to push it down the shaft so that it is correctly aligned.
Heating it up and then inserting it and immediately cooling it with water wouldn't be a problem for me.
Give me some advice on my doubts 1 and 2.
Thanks in advance and best regards
