Default UR pulleys: just crank pully or the whole set?

I know a whole set cost a little more but is it worthy extra money?

Any suggestion is appreciated?


Thanks

Crank pulley for ZING......set for BLING & ZING

Crank pulley does 95% of the gain....the rest of the set is mostly for looks

From http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0403tur_350z/

"The Unorthodox crank pulley is only 1 pound 5.2 ounces, compared to the stocker's 6 pounds 3.2 ounces. The Unorthodox alternator pulley is 3.0 ounces, while the stock measured 6.8 ounces. And the water pump pulley came in at 7.6 ounces vs. the stock of 14.0 ounces. That's a total weight savings of 5 pounds 8.2 ounces. On the dyno, the reduced weight, along with the pulley's 15 percent underdrive design, resulted in a gain of 6.1 peak hp as Peak output checked in at 244.9 hp. At 5500 rpm, we witnessed a gain of 9 hp"

I had the crank pulley installed the other day and am very happy. The rpm's dial up alot faster. Also anyone know that when you go FI do you need to replace that Ur crank pulley? Comments appreciated.

If you are going with a blower, you need to go back to the stock pulley or the the blower will be underdriven (lower boost) as well.

I got the 3 piece set and have yet to install the alternator pulley.....too lazy to remove the alternator and have the pulleys swapped out. Tell you what, you buy the crank pulley and I'll sell you the alternator pulley!!! I don't really expect any replies to that. Anyway, save your money and just buy the crank pulley. Also, do it yourself....a 30-45 min job tops and very easy.

What belts do you use with the UR Crank Pulley? Is there something special (brand, size, etc.)?

I remember reading about it in another post but DAMN THE SEARCH IS STILL NOT WORKING!

Thanks in advance
