Man it is worth every penny. What a heck of an upgrade for not allot of coin. Car pulls much better through the whole RPM range, best of all partial throttle power has increased allot also when in boost. Pulley was a flawless fit, machine work is perfect and looks like a million bucks!

Took me a whopping 10 minutes max to install. I first removed the trd cap, poped right off with a little tug dealer did not put it on worth a crap" and then removed the pulley bolt, being carefull not to let the keyway fall out for it is loose. Then I used a 24" breaker bar with a 19mm short socket to loosen the auto belt tensioner "be carefull not to let the belt go off track on the other 30 pulleys haha" I slipped the stock pulley off, and slid the new on. Slipped the stock belt over it and let the tensioner go, put the bolt back / torqued and all was set! Just like that. As you can tell I have 4 arms haha. It is best to have two people if you cannot tell :) Makes it easy, and the other person can hold the belt tight so it does not go off track on another pulley.

Here is a pic of my sexy new toy! My butt dyno says.... and I quote... "weeeeeeee"

hey thats awesome i was thinkin of buying one.. where did you get it and how much??

www.nonstoptuning.com Do not have the receipt on hand but it was a cheap upgrade compared to what it does for the car. Was like $90 + ship

Looks great, glad it gave you a good bump.
I can't wait 'till they release their xB pulleys.

thats awesome.. i must get one lol

Hit up NST, he has them in stock good to go from what I know!

i just got mine in the mail today. the install seems pretty simple. i have yet to install it. one of my questions is - what is the auto belt tensioner that you mentioned?

inside the web of pulleys you will see an large 19mm 6 point bolt head looking thing sticking out. It is an autotensioner. That means to loosen the belt, put a breaker bar on that thing and pull fairly hard to the front of the car. You will hear a hydrolic sound and see the belt loosen. You have to hold it to the front of the car or it will re-tension the belt. Once all is in place and aligned then let go of the tensioner and it will tighten it all up.

dang, that pulley looks awesome. another perfect job by NST> i give major props to them.

took off the trd cap. that was on there really good, it took a while. seems like i've turned a simple install into a complicated one. the pulley bolt is one major pain. i know people say keep it in first, that doesn't help it just keeps spinning.

also do i need to use any special tools, air tools? read that some have been using an impact wrench.... i've just been using regular hand tools.

i'm going to try and get some help on it tommorow. if worse comes to worse i'm taking it to the local performance shop. embarassing, because everyone says it's simple.

also i've also read that some people didn't mess with the belt tensioner. is it possible to install it without messing with that?

does this work on Automatic tC's? ^_^

cant wait to get the sc.

Just wanted to know, what stats does this thing give?

EDIT:
wow...

Increased weight reduction
- Average of 60% - 80% over stock!

Increased horsepower
- Average of 7 - 10 wheel horsepower! <-- that true?

Lower ET's & higher trap speeds
- Average of .20s & average of 2MPH!

just for about 100 bucks.. Pretty good IMO.

yes

As far as I know the SC isnt on the Automatic so i dont see how it will work

I dont know the numbers for NST exactaly but it takes it from 7PSI to 9.5PSI, I really hope that is good for more than 7-10 Horsepower.

ZPI is getting 21 WHP out of theirs.

I really hope NST's is about the same.

The ZPI pulley makes 9psi

The NST pulley makes 9.5psi

If the ZPI pulley is making 20whp, there is no possible way the NST pulley is making less. Boost is boost. 9.5psi will ALWAYS be > 9psi. Just can't wait until somebosy gets it on the dyno

That is what I was thinking. For some reason i think the person that posted the stats is talking about a crank pulley.

We do need a dyno to see what the extra 5 psi gives.

so does it work on automatic guys? I wanna confirm this because I'm going to order it later today. thanks

You are getting this confused buddy. This is a supercharger pulley. It only works with the TRD supercharger, which you don't have. Currently there is no supercharger for automatic transmission. Hope that clears things up.

that guy is definitely mixing up the crank and boost pulley. The boost pulley gives you a hell of a lot more than 7 whp. Ive been rocking mine for a few weeks now and I would say its at least 22whp for a mere $100 :P
And for all the supercharged xB/xA guys, they are in the works of making boost pulleys for you guys also :bow:

yep. General rule of thumb, 10whp per psi on our cars with the sc. +/- a few. So in theory 9.5 should net you 25-27whp. with no other mods involved.

Also I know the trd sc is supposed to produce 7 psi at redline, mine would only produce a hair under that just before fuel cut "could be my gauge". With this pulley upgraded it changes the whole powerband of the car drastically since it is a vortech "rpm dependant" style supercharger! My car, especially when downshifting into 4th to pass a car hits pretty hard now. No lag like a turbo, not even for a split second, punches like a well tuned n/a car which is what a sc basically does for you, acts like a beast of a n/a car etc..

ok everyone listen. the supercharger is made for both the manual and automatic transmissions. the pulley's are same on both motors, just the transmission is different. so once the auto fit kit comes out fo automatics, you can get the s/c on automatic transmission and then put the NST pulley on there. so yes the NST s/c pulley will work on the automatics.

first of all i'm not ignorant. i know exactly what i'm talkin about. a shim is something people use to fill gaps or to make something fit right. are you happy. i have worked with the NST guy for a while now. the first to have there 3 piece pulley set for the NA's. i am not doubting that you do know more than me on the supercharger since i dont have one. but i am currently using NST pulley's on my car, so you can't say that you know more about that, because your not running any NST pulley on your car. but i will do this. i will get in contact with the NST rep and find out for sure. maybe your right, the pulley might not fit on the auto. but i will find out once and for all. deal?

Deal. I wasn't tryin to start stuff, but just so you know, I do have an NST supercharger pulley. Its sittin in a box at my house. Haven't installed it yet.

aight, good to hear you chose the NST pulley over the ZPI on. no hard feelings. my bad, just having a bad day at work as always. and my rents were ____in my off.

Glad everyone cooled off. As long as the shaft diameter / keyway are the same on the auto "which I hear they are" the NST will work for both. The extra shims will be inclided in the auto kit for the mounting of the supercharger will be slightly different since it mounts to part of the tranny bell housing. The shims will be used to align the pulley correctly / pushing it out further. Even the manual kit comes with shims, mine happened to align perfect so they were not needed.

^^^ your cars automatic?

thats good to hear. but i guess well have to wait until someone actually put the s/c on an auto for us to see how everything looks.

ok guys, heres whats up. i just got done talkin to the top guy at NST and he said that the same pulley should work with a TRD charged auto tC. We strongly believe that the TRD SC's physical design will not be changed for the automatic tC. There will be small adjustments made to make the kit fit into the engine bay, but essential components such as the blower, the SC drive shaft, and pulleys will not change.

i talked to him on AIM, if any of you have any questions or concerns, feel free to IM him anytime. his screen name is NSTonAIM.

anyone having issues with belt slip?

Notta.

As I stated in my thread, I think climate has a lot to do with it.

So if I live in MD, should I worry about it?

so if its colder, more chance of the belt slipping?

so if its colder, more chance of the belt slipping?

I would say so...the gatorback belt is a really good belt so even if I didnt put a pulley on, I would still get a gatorback.
