use this and a mallet to take off the bolt

id suggest having somebody help. i dont think its very easy to release the tension on the belt and take it off/put it on
plus its a good idea to have somebody keep the pulley in place while you are taking off the bolt/torquing it

My review, copied from my thread:

I ran the NST pulley in my xD and only noticed the hp increase, no real change in the drive itself. BUT on the tC2, I can shift smoother, rpms rise and fall smoother, the car feels much better. There is a noticeable increase in performance/speed at about 4,000rpm, all the way to redline. Which is much different from what I am used to in the pulley on the xD. The xD always felt like it gained a bunch of low end torque and died off in the upper range. The tC's upper range increase is much nicer. Also, Its only been a day of driving, but it seems as though I have gained some mpg too. I will update after a week or so of drivings. I am super happy with the pulley and NST.

I have experienced all of that.
I got mine installed by a local mechanic this morning and was charged $84, which I thought was reasonable. So for all of you guys that don't want to do it yourself, use that as a baseline for what you may want to pay.
I was in and out in around 30 mins.

Quick question...i think that our first gear is relatively short...for those who have it installed, have you noticed different mph of gear changer close to redline? Or that yer getting through the gears quicker. Mine is getting installed on Wednesday...just curious.
Thanks
Thanks
This is what happened when we tested speeds on the dyno. As you can see, the MPH does not change, BUT it does require less time to achieve the same MPH in each gear.
In layman's terms... the Scion tC accelerates more quickly with the NST crank pulley

So according to this graph our cars will go 0-60 in about 3sec with the pulley installed? Ummmm last time I checked the tc wasn't a supercar
haha! Pretty sure baseline on the 2011/12 tc is around 7sec...
can someone explain all this?

^^ If you actually look at the graph time starts at 0 but the speed starts at 50 mph on the x axis. So what the graph is saying is that roughly 3 seconds after you start accelerating from 50 mph you will hit 60 mph where as in our cars stock it would be closer to 4 seconds to accelerate the same amount.

We did this test in 4th gear, the closest to a 1 to 1 gear in the new tC.
We started at 50mph and went up to 120mph for each dyno run. What did the test show?
The tC required about 22 seconds to reach 120mph with the OEM pulley.
The tC required about 20 seconds to reach 120mph with the NST CR-Lite pulley.
That is a very noticeable increase in the car's ability to accelerate. If all other factors are kept constant, this will result in quicker 0-60 times, 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile times. Will it reduce your 0-60 time by TWO seconds? Absolutely not. Will it reduce your 0-60 times if you keep other factors constant? Absolutely yes.
Thanks again, best of luck with all your projects!

That's why he's asking. Why bother answering if you're just gonna say you don't know?
The answer is that no, it won't void your warranty unless Toyota can show that it was the cause of an issue.

Thanks. I ordered one today after doing some research. I am pretty easy on my new tC so I don't think I will have a problem. Just wanted a little more pep and the pulley seems like a nice mod for what I want.
