guys im in a rut...
does anyone know a contact or anything i might be able to track down some sta parts?
im chasing a tensioner pulley, slide and spring style to suit my v8 efi sta supercharger. any help would be appretiated
cheers
How did u go I'm after a gilmer pulley setup for my sta n e ideas I don't wanna go powerflow they qouted me 1400 I just want gilmer setup n 10psi pulley n e info would be great
Last time I looked into this powerflow were the only people dealing with the old STA gear, unless u can find something on ebay?
As an Australian designed blower - Superchargers Technology Australia, you'll be hard pressed finding anything other than whats done locally.. best off going Vortech for a centrifugal blower in this country, best aftermarket support.
STA parts are no longer made from what i know. last i heard CAPA can do a swap for a powerdyne or vortech unit, plus alot better quality blower and support.
i can get any part i need from power flow they make everything for it just dont wanna have to pay 1400 for gilmer setup i dont wanna go capa or vortec as my unit peaks at 1200hp so dont really want to swap for a smaller unit just need the gilmer setup i cant understand y u can use other brands pullies on it

Your STA doesnt 'peak' at 1200hp, probably not even half that - in all honesty... they are a sh1t blower (sorry to be rude) look at the wheel inside, its made from straight wheel veins, it isnt exactly the most efficent centrifugal blower - and a vortech, even an 680hp S trim would sh1t all over it. I would rate it better than a powerdyne personally however.
You can get capa to make you up a custom pulley from a blank, just tell them what its for and how much boost you want to run and they should be able to get something organised - doubt it will be cheap tho.

thats it man, hence why CAPA offer exchange on them '****ty hair dryers'.
gilmer drives are easy IF you know a machnicist hehe **** paying capa prices for these bits. made a setup for a 5L awhile back thru a mate, cost him 250 or so in materials and about 30hrs of work due to it being a full custom setup, rather than copy the design. works a treat too.
