If you do not have the lightweight crank pulley yet you may feel a difference. It will not be a big one though. I just put those pulleys on mine 2 weeks ago and did not notice a difference at all. However I already had the crank pulley. Also set aside a minimum of 3 hours to do this. You will have to remove the supercharger to install the alternator pulley. The only way to get the alternator out is with the supercharger out of the way. I had another guy help me and I held my supercharger up out of the way while he removed the alternator. Good luck.

The only other way I saw to remove it without removing the supercharger was by removing the thermostat housing. My alternator kept getting caught on the housing. Either way I still don't think it is very easy with the supercharger installed.

You should probably feel a little bit of a difference. Your NST pulley should give you an extra .5 psi from your s/c and your other two pulleys will help you drop some weight. It won't be a night and day difference, but it will be there.

Let us know after you swap them, I would be interested in seeing a comparison.

Default NST Pulleys...

I have the TRD Supercharger w/ dealer reset of ECU. If i were to change to the NST Pulleys, would I have to do another TRD ECU reset?

With the crank pulley and supercharger, why is it that Dezod advertises their crank pulley for N/A or TC motors only??? Is there conflict with a lighterweight pulley and adding the supercharger? I am looking to switch over to a full NST pulley set from the ZPI before going S/C'd

if it's the underdrive crank pulley that dezod is saying that for then it is correct. a smaller crank pulley will have a negative effect on peformance of the s/c'd tc's. the underdrive pulley is best for n/a or turbo setups.

you'll be losing some weight with the NST pulleys vs. your stock ones right now. couple horses will be freed up but it may not be enough for you to feel it. if you get the CR-lite, you will feel the difference
