525sc Blower Pulley???

Hey Anyone Know Anybody Making A Upper Pulley Smaller Than 2 7/8" With Merc. Spline Rather Than Keyway Style For A 525sc 177 Blower?

Teague maybe???? But going smaller will only make more heat and push the blower beyond it recommended max of 13000rpms.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to get the shaft with the keyway and use the "automotive pulleys". I believe that the 2.85" splined pulleys are the smallest that were made by non-merc sources. I would think twice about spinning that little blower too hard, if it self destructs then you will have a whole new set of problems. I run a 2.85" upper and a 7" lower and I see a little over 6 psi boost (below the chiller) at WOT which is about 5000 rpms with my current prop. I'm good with that for now.

No ECM on a 525SC.

Old Navy's right, u have to buy the new shaft and use the automotive pulleys. Merc doesn't make the parts anymore. I went through this on my 31 Sonic. I couldn't even find a used stock pulley. I'm lucky to have a tool and die maker as a good friend. He made the shaft and pulley. BTW- I had him take 3/8 off the diameter and ran 9 pounds on that 177. It was fine.

I went with the next size smaller automotive pulley and it only picked up 1-2 mph...made a ton more noise/whine and burned a lot more fuel, not worth it.
