NST Pulleys rock the chit and let me tell you why.
I have an NST 9.5 pulley. Its awesome. The build quality of its fantastic and it actually makes the full 9.5 pounds of boost (weather permitting). The car pulls so much harder with it versus the stock pulley. For the 95 dollars for it plus 28 for the belt (get it from napa), its the best per dollar horsepower gain for the supercharger you can get. They can even custom make you what ever size you want! Best bang for your buck, period. Even if safety is a concern the stock TRD fuel map is so rich that the car actually runs better with this pulley on it versus the stock one.
My Road Test. Dreadfully I had to take off my 9.5 pulley and put back on the stock one to try and get toyota to warranty my catalytic converters constantly blowing apart. Anyway the first thing I noticed after putting the stock pulley back on is how much it sucks to drive now. The power just isnt there to me anymore in the higher RPM's. There is no longer me being able to just punch it in 2nd and break free the tires. Gone also is the car knocking you back in the seat when it starts rapidly building boost after 5k rpm. Conclusion. Get the NST pulley, install it, and be merry!!! |
Nice...can't wait for mine to come in, thanks for the post....
|
Oh man... That group buy is looking better and better. I can't wait.
|
I'm putting mine on this weekend ... I can't wait!
I happened to get one of the older black ones with no writing on it from a member here. Looks a lot like the stock pulley to the untrained eye. |
Yeah, thats actually the same one that I have. Its over 2 years old and its working great still. I may get rid of it though to get a different color one. Maybe red or blue....

Thank you for the kind words everyone. By now it is pretty much the majority consensus that the NST pulley is the TRD SC's best friend :)
Enjoy the extra boost everyone :) :clap: |

Nice. Do you have to tune or adjust anything? Or is it just install and go?
|
Just install and go. Change the belt if you get a different size pulley.
|
Remove OEM belt, remove OEM pulley, install NST pulley, install new belt, ENJOY!

The effectiveness of this product is indeed undeniable and the quality is absolutely top notch. I have one myself and enjoyed it while I could. After "experimenting" with a few sc's, a couple motors and multiple cats runnnig 9.5 psi and using the Forge 007 BPV I have come to the conclusion that it is not entirely safe to run this setup on just the TRD tune nor is it fair to state that it is as a fact. It should come with fair warning. So...you've been warned. :lalala:

^Proof?

Yeah no joke.

I ran a 9.5 pulley for over a year with a full injen cai and had no problems at all. It was weird in the winter I was seeing around 10.5 psi at redline with a/f of 11:2 at the top. In the summer I was getting 10:8 - 10:0 at the top. Plenty of fuel even with a cai. NST 9.5 FTW :bow:
|
WOOT WOOT FTW FTW
|
jjos1 - I still have my Injen CAI and I'm tempted to cut it, at that point tho I'll probably go piggyback tho. ...I need this car to last. lol.
|
^ you should buy my Short Ram intake!
|
^ thought about it but I already have the injen.
At one point Speed Source was gonna make me a full metal intake and charge pipe but they kinda flaked and I lost intrest. ...interest is back tho. lol. |
