Is it safe to do?

 

Yes, Just male sure you atleast get it tuned with the AEM FI/C or the emanage.

 

eeh you shouldn't even worry too much, NST has said on their site that the 9.5 pulley was designed to run well with the TRD Reflash.

 

well I had that lined up to be tuned anyways cuz I wanted to convert my injen CAI to the short ram so yea.

 

I would get a tune...I know NST say it will work without it but I wont run it like that!

 

But the real question how much power can you get out 9lbs and a tune...I would like to 210whp or something close to that...

 

I would do it. What's nice is that the 9.5 psi boost isn't hitting the engine at 4k where the highest tq output is. This is good for long term use because the stress throughout the powerband isn't as great.

 

So tune it or don't tune it...

 

It will work without it, but a good tune will always help any setup. You can usually squeeze out some more power, and safely. I would still say it can work with the TRD flash, because NST wouldn't make a claim they can't back up

 

i have been running the NST9.5 psi pulley for like 8 months now. Everything has been fine. stock TRD reflash that comes with the s/c. like Joe Dezod said. you can probably get some more HP out of the s/c if you get a piggy back and a tune.

 

9.5psi is fine with the sc.. i had it for about 7months no problem right now im runnin 12psi and works fine so far u could just hear the whine louder.. that is all.. i think currently im the 2nd hp highest sc out there bsides icenine

 

and how much power is that?

 

at the moment i have 280whp with 252tq but i still gotta retune the car.. i was tryin something out and did not work as planned..

 

I'm running the nst pulley on the trd tune and its still a bit rich under normal driving conditions.

 

how did you manage to get that amount of power from a s/c?? please let me know so i could attempt a similar setup...i dont really wanna go t/c

 

^^^read his profile!

 

wow. get some ripmodds cams and you're set.

 

yeah! some cam would give you mad power...

 

I know that many people have the 9lbs pulley and it fine but I don't want mess up my motor.

 

what about long term use?
