I did the crank with my 2ft breaker from the top without much trouble. It turns some but just keep at it. I also skipped the alternator since I didn't want to take it out.

Well, out of the people I hadn't met before that, I can only remember one face. I'm not sure if it was you. I was too cold to pay any real attention. Well, PM me if you want to lift.

fluidz, are you using both the pulley and nitrous without any problems? i've heard so much garbage about the pulley and nitrous that it made me 2nd think it.

my pulley is sitting under my bed waiting for the snow to melt.

No problems after 2500 miles, once I finally got the right size belts installed.

The only person who had problems with the combo was MaxHax. He then realized it wasn't the pullet at all, but that the installer had reversed the NO2 and fuel jets.

Well, I don't know if I can attribute them to the pulley, buy I have experienced:

The only thing that I can think of that would cause these issues is the pulley underdriving the water and power steering pumps. ....
Did he really type that?!?
I have yet to own a car that does not blow luke warm after sitting at a light. It's called idling

thanks for the info flybyz

switching n20 and fuel jets will for sure mess something up.

someone was having that same problem on another thread. seems like most of the people commenting on it are saying that the belt needs to be tentioned more.

we just purged fuel while stagin lol, it had nothing to do with the Pulley and squeezing it just fouled my plugs. Embarrassing actually. We never ran the car with the lines crossed it was immediately caught and repaired because it ruptured the line.

During my N20 faze I was doing too many things at once to determine what was causing false KR, we know part of it was the ZEX plugs being too short, I didn't stay with that setup long, in hindsite I wish I had. Live and learn. I got pretty close to perfect though at 12.7 before selling the kit.

About the pulley bussiness. The pulleys will not give you any problems if installed right. for the guy with the heater problem, not the pulleys water pump is driven off of the timing chain. and to remove the crank bolt remove upper radiator hose, cooling fans, has 2bolts up top and 2 connectors down below. use 3/8 impact gun that little ingnersol rand (not sure on spelling) with a short 19mm crack it loose. DONT GO TO FAR OR YOU WILL GET GUN STUCK IN THE RADIATOR. JUST BREAK IT LOOSE AND REMOVE WITH FINGERS. reinstall in reverse order DONT LOCTITE BOLT!!! problem with breaker bar your not getting enough impact to tighten the bolt cause the crank is moving. unless your using the chain pulley holder which will chew the hell out of your new pulley. just helpin out everyone has there own way. oh and most intake tubes will probaly have to be taken out of the way to get the fans out.

i've had no problems but it seemed to rev faster when i first put it on. i think the ecu corrected itself. oh well thats what TS is for. anyway all you need to do to install is put the car in gear and have a friend step on the brake so the engine won't turn over

The ECU can't correct for a crank pulley or flywheel or anything like that.
