I've never heard of anyone losing power. Most that I've seen say, it's a noticeable increase. It stands to reason when you decrease the parasitic drag on the engine, it frees up power that would normally be used to drive your alternator, A/C compressor, and power steering pump.

Its not possible for The UR pulley system to make you lose power, unless someone seriously fdges something up on the install.
It is also impossible for the pulleys to make you gain power. All they do is free up the power by reducing parasitic loss.
I know the pulleys do not underdrive much if at all but they are significantly lighter than stock pulleys.
Less effort required from the engine to turn these pulleys = more power available to turn your wheels.
When you consider that the weight savings is only a few pounds it doesent sound possible, but consider that rotating weight, depending on the speed of rotation can be much heavier than the actual weight.
If you know allt he facts it doesnt sound even remotely likely that the UR system would lose power.

here is a good article about the UR pullies on the 350z. Yeas there is gain but your not going to feel 3rwhp.

I def noticed it on my car when we did it (done as a standalone mod). Not sure (nor did I much care) how much actual HP is gave me, but it was plain as day to see and feel that the engine reveed with much more ease than it did with the stock pulley

I just installed mine today. Not really noticeable difference in power, but you do get slightly better response out of the engine. On another note, I notice my front left speaker stop working after the install, only to kick back in 20 miles later. Anyone have any ideas? I'll bring it up to the dealer next time im there.

No it doesnt give you power. Didnt on my car I actuallly lost power. All you guys saying it should work, because its lighter, you right but it caused a power loss on my car. I have proof that it doesnt work, do you have proof that it does? Only post personal results if you do and dont even bring up the SCC article, or somebody elses dyno

Apparently you have no idea how an engine works. If you did you would know that Its impossible to lose power by installing these pullies. The pullies have no effect on the output of the engine, but make power by being of less weight and slightley different diameter than the stock pullies.
Why dont you try and explain the reason your car supposedly lost power with the UR system? Even if you come up with something logical there are hundreds of members on this forum who are very happy with their UR pullies.

It is not possible to lose power from the crank pulley. However, it is possible for the pulley to effect other things that cause you to lose power. There was one case of excessive pulley vibration/noise causing the knock sensor to detect knock and the ECU started pulling timing.
