I just intalled these, and now engine idles REAL smooth! Great difference even though my stock ones i pulled out has only 7k miles!
:clap: Instead of 0.032 i gapped these to 0.044 according to NGK website. The engine is much more responsive and the problem with lag/lack of power at higher RPM seems to be solved!! I highly recommend these when you need plugs!

1st impression is, the built quality is really good! :bow: I haven't install this bad boy yet,but I will as soon as I get time this weekend! I will update again on how this thing performs! Most ppl that got this pulley has 5spd, I have a auto so i let you guys know how it performs on our slushbox!
allblackxb 02-24-2005, 05:49 AM Is that the lightweight crank pulley? It looks different than the other pulleys i've seen.

They redesigned it after the initial release had measurement issues.
unlmtdndeavor 02-24-2005, 09:29 AM i just wanna say that you have an absolutely breath taking pulley...
i mean that thing is good...
i wanna be friends with it...
somebody please know where thats from :pray:
hotbox05 02-24-2005, 09:43 AM It's the Perrin piece.
TheDanger 02-24-2005, 11:12 AM Ive heard that aftermarkets pulleys wear out your belts faster...is this true?
Derk-xB 02-24-2005, 12:33 PM It's the Perrin piece.
Could you tell because it says "PERRIN" on one side of the pulley? :lalala: :P
I didn't think the Perrin part was an underdrive pulley, but rather just light weight. Don't know why I thought that... :doh:
Regarding the iridium plugs, I tried them last week. Since my system has a voltage stabilizer hooked up to the battery, I notice very small power improvement from the plugs. The warm up time is a little less and the car has a little quicker response at high speed, although the power increase for the whole band. I think this upgrade is not necceary if your car has a clean electrical system (that has ground wires and voltage stabilizer).

I'm gonna throw something out there. If you like it, keep it. If not, just send it on back:
I wanna be on your pulley.
...I wanna be on your pulley!
fusionscion 02-25-2005, 04:45 PM hmmmm cant wait to hear how the install goes, where did u get the pulley from, i was going to get it from vividracing i guess im a parcial sponsor for them or suttin, they dont get back to me though so i dont know............

how did you gap them? i hope you didnt touch the center electrode. if you did they arent iridium anymore.
im due for plugs soon. (500Mls) how much do they run?

Got it from vividracing. I wouldn't recommend them at all! In fact i've see cheaper prices on ebay! It was a real hassle dealing with them! I actually ordered these over a month ago! and after a bunch of E-mailing/phone calls + paypal disputes, FINALLY got into my hands!

I gapped them with a cheap gapping tools from autozone, Just have to be really careful not to rub on the center electrode. Also it costs me $36 shipped from E-bay so i guess that would be $9/ plug including shipping!
LuminicsBulbs 03-11-2005, 02:53 PM The pulley looks amazing. Have you installed it yet? Any feedback?
cseika 03-11-2005, 09:21 PM The pulley looks amazing. Have you installed it yet? Any feedback?
Yes, :clap: installed!!! Anyway... install was a breeze! much simple than the others that I have done!(Eclipse, Civic etc...) Revs slightly faster from 1k to 4k rpm and much better throttle response! I have an auto btw... However, its not as good as I though it would be.... since it does not underdrive! Still worth it overall though!
unlmtdndeavor 03-12-2005, 01:58 AM good to know that it does help a little and the install is easy
wmclarkmc 03-12-2005, 03:18 AM let me know how the pulley works ! looks great!
has anyone used hopupracing .com?
perrin pulleys 129.95
RacerxB 03-16-2005, 12:28 PM just wondering if $130 for almost no gain and something no body really sees is really worth it?
dgHotLava 03-16-2005, 01:08 PM just wondering if $130 for almost no gain and something no body really sees is really worth it?
take it to the track and see...
and its no gain (not--almost no gain)
these are not under drive, they can not produce power...
they free up some power by reducing rotational mass...
yes its worth it...
