It's all good.

 

Yes, thank you. I see one of these in my future.

 

Where is the nst crank pulley thats the same size as stock? Not the underdrive one...

Oh and does the pully come with instructions for the tC?

 

Same install as my how-to here on scionlife, without worrying about the water pump and alternator...

actually pretty easy.... just look up the nst install in the tech section and you'll be good to go...

 

you have to email or call about the stock sized pulley. The CR-Lite is special order.

 

NST is the ***** guys, Email me anytime to order up!

 

Here you go http://www.nonstoptuning.com/pKitToySciTCscd.htm

They have instructions on their site or you can use WeDriveScions' great writeup.

 

so i got the mossy performance pully, not installed yet, would i benefit from replacing the waterpump pulley with the nst lightweight pulley?

 

ANy weight reduction helps... and the waterpump and alt pulleys just look soooo coooooool!

I use the stock lightweight from NST because I run the sc setup "smaller crank = less boost". But anyways, I love it! Here is a photo of it on my car at the last show....

 

hey..........I know quite a bit about cars (or rather I have learned alot ever since I got my Scion in August of '05) but I have never heard about this pulley thing til now.....I have a couple questions........

1. Where are all of these pulleys that are being advertised located in the car?
2.Is the install difficult? Like do I really have to know what I am doing to do it right?
3. Could someone who is doing an install take pictures of the process for me so I can have an idea of what is going on? thanks!!

 

1. On the engine...passenger's side. Look at the picture above your post
2. No, but if you don't have an impact wrench, the crank pulley will be more difficult to get the bolt out.
3. Already done. Look at the tech section of the site.

 

Just to add to the above post and the tech article on installing the pulley, I could not get the stock pulley off without an impact set. Also, the pulley removal tool was not helpful at all. While my friend was trying to use it, I just grabbed a pair of vice grips and yanked off the stock pulley. Also, you need a small breaker bar to get at the tension bolt.

 

I have used a socket, 24" extension to the 1/2" drive wrench, a 4 foot long pipe on the wrench, and a 2x4 to support the extension. It popped the bolt loose without an impact wrench. A 4 foot pipe is a hell of a lot of leverage. :D

 

would these pulleys be carb legal in cali?

 

lol the pulleys wont affect carb.

 

They'd never notice them anyways...

 

you have to call your local CHP, then ask for the number for state referee

but if u dont want to do all that, my only suggestion is get black. less bling less attention

 

Pulleys do not affect carb legality

 

for an MT will a lightened pulley make the rpm drop faster in between shifts?
because less weight will carry less momentum...

 

Yes.

Very similar to a flywheel upgrade, just MUCH less cost, less of a weight reduction and a potential inherant risk.
