Any comments on the different options we have as well as prices and the best sites to go for an 03' STR would be appreciated. Please Help!

 

Hey there!

I have a pretty large post on the X350 XJ forum about my recent pulley purchase. Here is a link to that post:

A few sites that come to mind would be:

www.eurotoysltd.com
www.eurotekdesigns.com
www.paramount-performance.com
www.arden.de
www.minagallery.com

I bought my pulley from the Mina Gallery. From what I have been told, it is an exact replica of the pulley offered by Eurotoys LTD. I definitely feel an improvement in power. Here is a link to my dyno video:

Supposedly, the stock AJ34S motor in our cars should put out right around 315-320rwhp. I was able to pull out 340rwhp.

Good luck in your research and decision!

first question, the Eurotoys says 2.5-3lbs, mina says 1.5 so I wonder how these are the same? Also the 'machining' ot the supercharger for the eurotoys pulley, does anyone know how much it is being taken down? And does the mina require that, from the instal post from Patrick it did not appear so.

 

Ah I was referring to the 1.5lb pulley that Eurotoys offers. The 2.5-3lb pulley they offer does require the nose of the supercharger to be trimmed a bit.

Both 1.5lb pulleys, from either Mina Gallery or Eurotoys, does not require any modification to the supercharger at all.

 

sorry Patrick, I skipped right over the 1.5lb pulley on Eurotoys, assumed that was all they had, was trying to find the same from Mina. Does anyone have any insight as to whether or not the 2.5-3lbs pulley is worth it? Same price, only 10hp gain difference, I am not too thrilled about taking the dremel to the supercharger for 10hp more...also I wonder if there is a difference from a wear and tear perspective...

 

Decided to go with the 2.3-3lb pulley from Eurotoys, I will be sure to post before and after dyno results.

 

Awesome. That should make your motor a lot stronger. One word of warning though, watch out for heatsoak!
