Supercharger Pulleys

So hands up who would be interested in interchangable supercharger pulleys for about £95 each?!?!?!

Its flipping hard to get the original off, but our idea is to provide a boss that you fit and forget and you just change the pulley itself (not the boss) via 3 or 4 bolts.

Exactly Sef, the idea being that you could run a slightly smaller one day to day and recover some fuel economy, and whack the tiny one on for when you want to go and play..........

Other reason is why buy another supercharger for however much they cost when you can get your pulley removed and fit one of these yourself?!?!?!

Having just swapped my pulley over I can testify that (with the right tool) getting the pulley of is a 2 minute job. It's getting to it and putting it back together that takes the additional 1/2 hours!!!

Would your idea be ableto be changed with the engine in place?

I have bought both 15 and 19% with one inside piece and two outiside (15% and 19% ) for about 80 pounds.

So it is about 1/2 hour to change them for track day or daily drive.

If anybody needs let me know. I can still get them at this price.

Bye
