wassup people, got my NST 20% Underdrive Crank Pulley this afternoon. the 1st in southern u.s. to have it. this thing sure did make a difference. it gave me better throttle response, and the car picks up a lot faster. im loving it. even my mom can feel the difference. she sat in my car, and she's like what did u do! why is car going so fast.. lol, i just smiled. it's awesome. its supposed to give you 6-10 hp at the wheels. and the more mods you have the more hp you'll get.

so right now the pulley is still in production. so if you havent pre-ordered your already, DO IT! you'll love it.

i would post some pics, but the pulley is so far back, you cant really see it, but i'll see what i can do.

 

Hmm, noob question, can this be installed on an AT?

 

i was thinking the same thing lol
and whats the price !??

 

yup, mines and automatic. check out there website...

Dam thats cool i want one . where do u get somthing like that installed?.. and if you could explain how it works OO and does it take off warranty? if u know thankz lol

 

how much was ur install and idid u need a new belt?

 

well i went to a local place called carboys. they install all kinds of performance stuff. just go to someone you trust on your engine. yes, it would void your warranty if your dealer finds out. but the pulley wont harm your engine. check the website to see how it works.

the guys charged us 60 bucks, and yes you need a new belt.

 

Im gunna pick one up just hope my dealer wont find out

 

this will totallly violate any engine warranty you might have
it is replacing the dampner pulley with a lightweight unit

 

Moved....

 

BUt do you think the dealer will actually find out? If any thing does happen ? i allready have a cai and trd springs and getting a injen exhaust witch the dealer did not install im screwed on warrantys as it is right.

 

Are they still pre-order, or what??
And where did you get the new belt, and size and stuff??

 

when you install a crank pulley, is it true that the ac and power steering will no longer work??

Oldman has some great points and a lot of knowledge about engines and why these kinds of pullies should not be run on your car. The pullies that bolt on to the existing harmonic balancer are fine..ones that remove your harmonic balancer like the NST are not.

Im not saying he is 100% correct but what he's saying makes a lot of sense and its defenitely something to think about .

 

after reading that i think ill wait. my dad would kill me if somthing breaks and the warranty is void for 6 Hp.

 

hey Sam_J84... do you notice a loss in power of you A/C?

 

I couldve sworn their was a sticky about the TRUTH about so called "voiding your warranty"
Please read it.
I'll give you the abridged version, BY LAW, you warranty CANNOT be "voided" due to the intall of a aftermarket part. If something happens to your car and it can be proven that it was a result of the part...THEN they wont fix it under warranty. Even after that, your warranty is still good for the length of it

 

The kind of problems you face having from the underdrive pulley can easily be proven to cause damage. Killing your bottom end from removing your harmonic balancer is really hard to blame on anything else.

 

i have had these pulleys on my toyotas for at least 50,000 miles. no problems thus far of any kind

the a/c and alternator will turn a bit slower at idle, but not so slow to result in any noticable losses. like i said, i have not had any problems of any kind with my motor or accessories as a result.

good mod and amazing dollar to hp ratio if you ask me.

 

They cant "void" the entire warranty. But if your crank breaks or if your main bearings wear out prematurely and they see that you have removed the balancer/damper you can pretty much count on paying to fix it yourself. Some engines may last longer than others without the damper, but it is there for a reason. I know this is not what anyone wanted to hear after buying the NST, but it is something to think about.
