Default Pulley Install

Well finally got my pulley installed lastnight. Took alot longer than what i thought. Had to remove the fans to put a crank puller on. Just could not get that damn thing off until we put this on. Then it came right off. I must say everything else during the install was a piece of cake.

Driving impression

Car does rev alot faster, keep in mind i have the lightweight flywheel and an entirely new exhaust, plenum and CAI. But i still could feel the difference in the car with the install of the pulley. I did not think i would be able to feel any difference but i was surprised. Pulls alot harder through first second and third. Great mod for the money.

Be safe

Some believe this, Most do not.





Sorry Jaki, did not take any pics.

I must say with the flywheel and the pulley the car revs like crazy. I LOVE IT

ANyway Do you feel a Vibration when idling? Because seems i do. So i guess that's what the Factory Pulley Damping is covering on.

Yun,

I guess the biggest thing i need to fix is the traction on my car. Other than that i love the way the car pulls once it gets moving. But a limited slip would be wonderful if you know what i mean.

Kinda sucks because i had a enthu model on order and they ordered in a auto insted of a 6spd, so i went to another dealer and got the base model insted. Oh well, going to change it out in the spring, think im going with the nismo lsd.

Going to try and get the ecu flash before winter gets here though.
