Formula as supplied by rotrex:

I = E x ((Dc+2.8)/(Dp+2.8)) x 9.483

I = Impeller speed max
E = Engine Speed max
Dc = Crank Pulley Diameter
Dp = S/C Pulley Diameter

Pulley(mm), Impeller RPM, Pulley RPM

95 93049.76 9812.27
94 94011.01 9913.64
93 94992.34 10017.12
92 95994.37 10122.78

89 99131.44 10453.59
88 100223.20 10568.72

Thanks Michael for the input. Do you know if the SC needs to be modified to run smaller pulley? I've read in bimmer forums that they actually add restrictors on the intake when downsizing pulley. Theorically it would reduce power. But would it help in reducing impeller load which may cause the SC to slip?

Here are my findings. Rotrex SC has 60mm intake. HKS, however added a restrictor on the intake therefore its only 50mm. I've seen dyno runs with both SC using 95mm pulley. HKS offers a nice gain all the way till the readline without boost dip compared to rotrex as it would suffer before redline.

to be honest don't know but I cannot see how the would reduce impeller load as it is belt driven. the rotrex doco just talks about rotational speed hence the formula above.
