I spoke w/ a Unorthodox R&D guy about a week ago and he said the pulleys wont be released for a few moths, but its gonna be a whole set, not just the crankshaft pulley. I might get to try out the prototype on my xB as long as things go well

 

Suhweeeet, Underdrive, or all lightened?

 

underdrive pulleys might not help us at all. We aren't really pushing a lot of HP. Maybe the guys that are pushing the turbo would benefit, but not the regular guys.

 

If you get the Perrin pulley, make sure its a version 2 pulley!

 

Version 2 is the only thing available from www.PrecisionMuffler.com and is also available for shipping. Easy to follow instructions and can be installed here at the Scion Central!! :D

 

what is the difference between the V1 and the V2 pullies and how can you tell which one you've got?

 

Version 1 didn't fit correctly , so Perrin redesigned it and I guess is now called V2. The Perrin pulley fits with no problems whatsoever. :D

 

ok, so if I have difficulty installing it then I probably have the V1?

 

The first pulley Perrin released had fitment issues, and the second go around is supposed to fit fine.

IIRC, Dave(dghotlava) or Munch discovered the problem, and then had to wait a few months for the updated version.

 

I've had the perrin pulley for a couple of months ... I havent had any major problems... But theres something wrong because my engine will just drop about to 500rpm when I'm at a complete stop ... It doesnt it intermittantly ...

 

yea...it was Munch...he wasnt too happy w/ them cause they kind of danced around the issue saying that it fit fine which we all knew wasnt the case

 

it looks like "ultra s" is part of the underdrive series, so those looking to run an S/C in the future should probably stick with perrin on this one.

 

any pictures that anyone have?? i wanna see what it looks like on the engine, and where it is located, this could be my next mod!

 

Its pretty much hard to see...you can only tell its on the motor cause of the color difference in the pulley. If you look at your block, it will be located on the left side, on the bottom.

 

if you dont know... what it looks like or what does it do ... Why change it out??? when you dont know, what your changing ??? Sounds( very sorry to say it )Like your riding a Ban Wagon ...

Come on bro... Knowledge is the most important part of modifying a car... I mean what you gonna do when people ask whats that or whats this ??? Research before doing anything to your car...

 

I think he is kinda in the process of researching, dude. how can people learn if others refuse to disseminate information? This could be this guy's first car, it could be the first car he's ever done modification to. I thought this forum was for sharing knowledge and opinions, and is a good place for people to learn waht they don't know yet.
sorry if I am wrong.

 

Yea to what he said^^^Wraith, its very obvious from reading a lot of your posts in the power hungry forum that you are a very knowledgable person when it comes to motors, especially w/ toyotas. Instead of using your knowledge to prove people wrong or shoot them in a direction on why they shouldnt do certain mods to their car, you should use it to help further their education and explain the benefits and features of these mods that might help them choose whats right and wrong for them. Remember, we all started where they are, and we all got here by asking questions and trial and error. Not in any way trying to start a war here but just try to be a lil more helpful in the future to people like this...it feels great when you know you made someones day by helping them out w/ something or just giving them good advice.

yeah, dude, just trying to figure out where the stock parts are so i know what it is and what it does. i've already learned so much from these forums, and this is my first car and the first car i've modified, i've put on my own intake and everything, soon to be some new headers, and trying to gain more power out of my engine, just wondering if anyone has any pics of the item and where it's located, geez. from the info you guys have, i could make a informed decision if this is the way to go with my box,

 

I should have some pictures of the install later this week. I'll link to them once I have them up.
