how does IceNine has his supercharger to reach up to 12lb with the nst pulley?

 

does that sentence even make sense?

 

let me slow it down for you, Does IceNine"311hp trd s/c" get his NST pulley to reach up to 12lbs of boost?

 

he requested a 12lb pulley from nst. they can make make pullies at special request too.

 

yes u can get nst to cut u a 12 lb. pulley for like $150, but u need management software.

 

^^ He is right

 

Custom Made!

 

Yes, it was a custom made pulley. They can make them for you, but by no means should you run this without fuel management.

 

What kind of FM does one need to run a 12lb pulley? And, can that FM be "set it and forget it" enough to be a daily driver of say 160 miles per day?

 

Fuel management.. like in IceNine's car, would be GReddy Emanage Ultimate. You could probably get away with the EManage Blue. Once you get that pulley installed, you would need to be tuned. Then you can "forget it" and drive

 

Just so I understand you correctly, a 12 lb pulley and emanage blue would be good enough for "set it and forget it" even for a daily driver who goes 180 miles per day?

 

yes it would be enough

 

NO!!!!
It would not. You are going to need to get bigger injectors, and some type of cooling. And to keep it at 12lbs you wouldnt be looking at a air/air intercooler, you would prolly drop about 4lbs of boost.

 

Bigger injectors than what comes with the TRD sc? Please explain what you think I would need to run a 12lb pulley.

 

550cc injectors, engine managament, and tuning, maybe an Intercooler. Those are the things u would need.

 

Forget the intercooler. He's got the 12 pound pulley, 550cc Injectors, upgraded fuel pump, and Meth injection (better than adding an IC). Also tuning, of course.

 

I KNEW IT! I forgot about that. That was what i actually was thinking of.

 

well, i was going to talk about www.forcefedracing.com that say call them and ask about their stage 3 11 lb psi supercharger upgrade, but that site had disapeared. shame too because they had upgraded pulleys and tuned unichips to go with them. oh well, maybe somebody else will.

also, can't you also make the crank pulley bigger to increase the boost since that would change the ratio of rotations in the serpentine belt?

 

Toyota/Scion allows installation of the S/C without any internals to be changed running at 7psi.

You can get the 9.5psi upgrade pulley from NST and reading this post you can get custom higher PSI pulleys for the tC.

At what point or PSI is a internals upgrade recommended?

 

usually once you get to 10+ psi, you'll want to consider upgrading your internals.
