ECS base kit.... Is it all it is lived up to? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have 3.47 pulley (what came with the kit)

I am a little bias but I would choose this kit time and time again. I am very happy.

Look at my sig for mods and time i ran with a 6 speed. Paid less than 5k for an ecs tuner kit new. Cant beat that.

ECS kit comes 3.33

pdiddy · 06-18-2015, 10:18 PM

So he said he made 12 psi on the 3.47 pulley with the restrictor in something seems off there

pdiddy · 06-18-2015, 10:20 PM

Ecs told me to expect around 10 with the 3.33 and restrictor in I would expect the 3.47 to make around 8 of course give or take from car to car

tjsblackbonne · 06-19-2015, 05:53 AM

Just went out to verify and the pulley says Vortech 3.47 on it

pancherj · 06-19-2015, 06:44 AM

3.33 upper and 7.9 lower, mine makes 12psi with restrictor and a little over 15 without it in there. At 6800RPM it is running near max impeller RPM.

pdiddy · 06-19-2015, 07:29 AM

12 is a little more than I would like to make right now on my sbe, oh well I guess we will see what happens.

pdiddy · 06-19-2015, 07:30 AM

is the 7.9 the stock size on the lower that comes in the kit

pancherj · 06-19-2015, 07:46 AM

7.9 lower is the stock piece for the ECS kit.

pdiddy · 06-19-2015, 11:41 AM

I thought so I am not sure how the OP made 12 psi on the bigger pulley if he was on stock crank pulley also with the restrictor in.

pdiddy · 06-19-2015, 11:42 AM

I do have a blower cam not sure how much boost it will bleed off but as long as I don't exceed 12 I would deal with it since I am running e85 but I would like to be closer to 10-11

Cam, header size, and even accuracy of boost gauge can easily swing 1-2psi. Cam could be 1-2psi, header size 1-2psi, etc. Which is why boost is largely irrelevant.

Hell, even altitude and weather will change boost.

^^^ just took the words out of my mouth. Boost is simply a number, each setup can be different.
