Interesting SC site
Recently, I ran into this site, http://planetsoarer.com/boost/boost.htm, that had some interesting info on the Eaton M112 and M90. He is putting them on the Australian Soarer which I think is equivalent to the Lexus SC400. At any rate it is fun reading and there are some good pulley links. In it he states that the original Jag/Eaton pulley cannot be removed because it is pressed on so tight. Is that true? Anyone out there with Andy’s early Stage One system try to change the pulley? I asked Ken Belle and he said his quick change pulley would not work.

The pulley can be removed with a puller designed for that purpose. Kenne-Bell sells it. Did they say it would not work? Their pulley system may not work for some reason, but the puller should. Andy provided an optional quick-change adapter, requiring modified pulleys. I believe it was a custom part.

Bill, the impression I got was their pulleys won't fit properly. This Austrailian outfit has a kit that they say will work. Pretty pricey and they do not sell the puller, only rent (hire it out).
http://www.v6supercharged.com.au/ offer a special Eaton specific pulley puller for rent combined with a quick change replacement pulley.
as the CAPA replacement snout, you get a pulley and tool hire. Since there are no labour costs it can work out cheaper.
$695
Complete Pulley kit comes with:
* 1 x 10 psi Pulley
* 1 x Modular Hub
* 1 x Shorter Belt
* 1 x Pulley Removal
* Re-installation Tool Rental Instructions
Previously, this technology and know-how was unavailable due to the manufacturer, Eaton, using a 20 tonne press to fix the pulley to the shaft. This was to deter aftermarket workshops and prying mechanics from removing the original pulley from the shaft and swapping it for a smaller one.
Many have tried to remove the original pulley with disastrous results, such as bending or breaking the pulley, damaging the bearing, and/or scouring the shaft. Let us for-warn you that no aftermarket available puller kit, even the most heavy duty claw type ones, will even come close to pulling the pulley off the shaft without severely distorting the pulley. If attempted and the pulley becomes bent or deformed you wont be able to just put the belt on and go again. It will then cost a lot of money to repair the damage.
At Forced Induction Technologies, we have devised a method using specially engineered tooling, which allows you to remove the existing pulley from the shaft whilst the supercharger is still in place. That's right, there is:
* NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SUPERCHARGER
* NO NEED TO CHANGE OIL
* NO GASKETS REQUIRED
* CAN BE DONE IN 1 HOUR
And if you ever wanted to return it back to standard it's easily possible. Best of all it comes with very complete and concise instructions for DIY installations, or if you prefer, any general mechanic will have it sorted within 1 hour! Forced Induction Technologies have 5 common sized pulleys in stock to produce up to 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14psi (note this is for V6 GM motors). Pulleys can be swapped over in 10 Minutes due to the modular hub and interchangeable pulley design. This is great for wanting to swap to a smaller pulley for quarter mile racing, and then running the regular one for street use and fuel economy.
I have contacted them to see if they will sell the pulley kit less the puller and belt. Also, we Colorado boys are still looking at a modified crank pulley as an option.
Thanks for your help, Ralph
