Need Hub for Trilogy to run metco ring

[hotford]

I need help in locating a hub that will work with a metco ring for the trilogy
I do remember that couple members here have them just need to get in contact and see if they can machine one up for me......any help would be great.

[DOOM]

Here's mine. O's fan rich had these made. He tried to do a group buy but nobody seemed interested!

good luck.....

[DOOM]

I think DREWSTANG recently had one made up as well.

[guspech750]

Out of curiosity. Has any Trilogy owner tried asking Jerry Barns about getting some hubs made to use with Metco pulleys as an upgrade for more boost?

I'm a machinist, I could make you one for $1000.

From what I was told, metco use to make them. But only a few were made.

A few members here have them.

Sherman had one on his car.

Hello,

Would these hubs have the correct spacing for the twin screw? I can't even find a smaller upper for the screw, Billet Flow said no to me twice. Anyone know of a reasonable alternative.

Thanks:burnout:

Didn't Lysholm make the Trilogy twin screws? If so. Contact them.

May have interest depending on if I keep the T or make the switch to Whipple, or should I say how long I decide to wait.

Vortec took over Lysholm.

[Michael]

The pulleys are custom to trilogys specifications made by billet flow I believe.

I may be wrong but I think vortech buys head units from lyshom in sweden and then vortech builds kits around the head units.

Whipple for the past few years has built there own head units, but in the past used lyshom. :burnout:

Yep... that was a FUN project!!! I hope Nate's enjoying the results!!!!
When you cannot buy off the shelf... you need to adapt and overcome.

The machine shop who has the drawings and such has since been sold by my friend Tom. But... they may still have the specs? They are in Whitehall, PA and the name was Choice Precision Machine.

If you can get the specs, send them to Metco. Rick down there can prolly get a hub machined for you without too many problems. He doesn't like to duplicate parts that other machine shops may still be producing, but if CPM isn't doing them any longer, Rick doesn't have a problem with that.

Interesting fact... metco used to make them.;) they should already have the specs.

They made 'em for Trilogys? Did not realize that, thought they just produced hubs for Eaton M112 applications. If that's the case, then just give Rick or Kristi a holler and they should be able to take it from there.

Tom ran a good shop, and I'm happy he was able to make the sale. He was a client for years and I now can count him as a friend.

I have no plans to re-do this pulley thing. It was a once and done for me.
Metco told me it was not worth it to them to run off more, but that was then, who knows now.

Hey Rich the car is running great. Getting a new paint job in March. Have to add another gt pump, 40 amp BAP and modified stage 2 FPDM car needs more fuel. Car leaning out at 4500 rpm WOT.

Would anyone know if this would work on a Trilogy TwinScrew???

[Blown3.8]

Measure the top mount arm of the tensioner bracket. If it is 2.5" the new hub should work for the TS trilogy.

I would think it would work.

[TAKEDOWN]

Ok, thank you Sir!

[NATEHAWK]

Go get 'em, Nate!

Should beable to see well over 500rwhp after these upgrades. I'm sitting right now at about 490rwhp 498rwtq

[RKHiPerformance]

...O's fan rich had these made. He tried to do a group buy but nobody seemed interested...

We can manufacture a crank pulley hub that will mount our crank pulley rings with the necessary alignment for the Trilogy kit. This requires a dedicated program and an application-specific hub.

How many users might actually purchase one of these hubs?

Thanks,
Rick

[kariamack]

I would be down to purchase a set

[boatmangc]

I'm down for one

[RKHiPerformance]

The hubs we currently manufacture for the various Lightning/Cobra applications retail for $139.99. We expect that the Marauder hub would be priced similarly.
Crank rings in the 6.55", 7.40", +2 lb, +4 lb, and +6 lb sizes are $119.99.

If we chose to pursue the hub, provide a delivery date, and bill when the hub actually ships, would any users be willing to sign up and commit to one of these?

[justbob]

I'll commit to one for sure, maybe two. If the price is where you say it is, let's start this like last week.

Let me also add, if you are new to Trilogy you should get one while you can, you eventually WILL want more!!

I was on the stock block a few years ago. Not any more! I'm interested in one.

[justbob]

To get these numbers up I suggest you also post up on motorcitymarauders.com as there is a LOT of Trilogies running around that forum as well.

[boatmangc]

I put a post up on MCM

[Michael]

This sounds interesting, but I have a few questions.

1. The ring sizes are based on the eaton supercharger, if these rings work with the 2.3 twin screw, what is the boost relationship. 2lb ring for a eaton, what is the boost for the larger supercharger.

2. Is there any interference issues with the larger rings, such as the tensioner or something.

3. I don't remember the diameter of the stock trilogy ring, what size is it so we know what bigger ring to buy.

Thanks:burnout:

[justbob]

3. I don't remember the diameter of the stock trilogy ring, what size is it so we know what bigger ring to buy.

Thanks:burnout:

IIRC it is 7 5/8. I can confirm that tonight.

[Blown3.8]

The 4lb ring is the biggest you can put on without modifing the tensioner. With the 4lb ring and the stock 3.5" blower pulley on the 2.3 whipple(non trilogy-eaton swap style) we see 20.5psi. Which is right at 4lbs more than stock boost on a terminator.

[NATEHAWK]

I have a 3.0 with 4lb crank pulley on a Trilogy and the tensioner had to be notched just a tad to insure no rubbing. I see like 18lbs of boost.

[Michael]

Thanks guys, I checked the lower pulley clearance today and figured it would only take a 2lb before it may hit, good to know a little grinding and it will fit the 4lb.

I can't commit to a purchase right now, but if it is made available on the web site in the future I would buy.

Thanks

OUTSTANDING!

Great to see this, Rick. :up:

I highly recommend this mod for anybody considering options for additional boost on their Trilogy. I've got Metco lower hub and pulleys installed on my Eaton swap and can't say enough about the superb quality of their products, and the service provided by Rick and Kristi; top notch!

Hey Guys...

As of Monday, all of the outstanding orders have been filled. We have a few more of these hubs in stock right now, ready to ship.
If your order was placed on our site, you should have received the UPS tracking number via email. If you didn't see my email, check your spam folder.

Thanks again, guys. We're really pleased to have been able to put this together.

Mine looks like it will show up next week or so, once UPS decides how much to extort from me for crossing the border, then refuse to drop at my door until the ransom is paid.

Thanks for making this possible, though. Sometimes is sucks living in the frozen north

[99SVT]

My hub showed up yesterday, no extra charges.

Thanks for putting the "Made In USA" sticker on the box, NAFTA is good for something when companies use it.

I contacted you guys about this before having a hub custom machined. I was told the time and development would not be worth it, even though you guys had the specs on hand, and to look else where. Thanks for your interest then.

Trilogy was manufacturing their crank pulleys for these cars until very recently. It was their decision to discontinue the product that prompted us to step in.

This would have been at the begining of 2011. I was instructed by someone at Metco to contact Jerry Barnes with Trilogy. A guy who answered the phone for Triology said to contact Rich or Rick at Metco, he would have the dimensions and could make the hub. I called and spoke to someone, who said Rick is in sales, and after explaining what was going on they told me it would not be worth the money and time to have Metco produce it. From what I remember, it seems like it was an older lady but I can't remember her name.

Justbob was right. After a dead end at Metco, I had a local guy build one for around $550 including time and materials. I was just thumbing through posts yesterday and saw what was going on. Not bashing Rick, but it was a very frustrating experience.

Can understand why it would be, especially if you got a circular run-around.

Rick and Kristi normally handle customer requests, not certain who the older lady would have been, but that's too bad; I've always had excellent response and service from the Metco folks.
