I don't really know of many "risks" ... if you read through the first page of this thread, you'll get some more info on those supposed "risks." A non-issue IMO.

As for worth it... ya. For the feeling and potential power - they're a great bolt on that you can actually notice.

well, I read threads a few months ago about harmonic dampening and what not....and so thats been keeping me away from this for a while. I'm currently torn between getting a ETD, pulleys or an intake.....

You'll notice more from the pulleys, IMO (though I do not have an ETD).

Best post to read on the harmonic dampening...

Has anybody installed these 3 with the S/C already installed? I'm going to tackle it soon and I wanted to see if anybody had some advice for me lol....now the only problem I'm having is, finding a new belt that will work with the stock s/c pulley and the smaller alt pulley, any suggestions? thank you.

was gonna install my underdrive crank pulley today, but i had to run to advance for a serpentine belt tool. that tensioner is ____ing impossible to get to! there simply isn't enough space to fitch a ratchet and socket between the side of the engine and the metal framing the engine bay. now that i have the serpentine tool it's too dark to work. sheesh. ill try again tommorow and it should go real quick. ill post with my thoughts.

Thanks.... sorry I let some of the pics get out of sync on my hosting server... fixed now, but lost one pic... (it is a really old post though and I've moved away from Scions, but I'll keep the pics up as I think it's one of my better DIYs)

Just grab a sturdy socket wrench with the 19mm socket on it and put in on the bolt. Position the wrench so that the handle is in front of the lower control arm (to the right of it if you are looking at the pulley). This is what will keep the wrench from turning. After the wrench is set, put the keys in the ignition and turn the key so that the starter will try to turn the engine over. It only takes one click of the starter - be careful to not start your car. Since the crank pulley turns clockwise, it will break the bolt loose. I was absolutely amazed at how easy this was - and I couldn't beleive that I had not read this anywhere. Anyways, I love the pulleys - thumbs up for NST. Time to begin the turbo fund...

This tip how ever old it is, is absolutely priceless. I was struggling trying to hold the crank pulley in place and then decided to give it a whirl. THANK YOU! haha

Installed Crank, Alternator, and water pump pulley....LOVE IT! More torque and better throttle response.

Installation was easier with air tools, but overall, it wasn't bad. about 3 hours. I decided to remove the alternator entirely. Makes everything so much easier.

I drive an 05 Automatic with 128,000 miles. No problems so far! Thanks NST!
