I don't understand, the pulley sits right in front of the blower. Anyone should be able to swap it out. A retune may be necessasy, but HKS Japan doesn't have to do that if you are using a pro tuner with the fcon or are using a different ems.

Thats what I thought but GTM wouldnt tell me how to swap it out & told me to leave it to the tuner. But my tuner is saying that HKS have told them that to replace the pulley it has to go back to Japan (which will cost me a fortune & means i'll be without a car for however long it takes) Surely though this is what GTM modify the blower for?

Stock pulley is making max boost at 6.8psi & boost is dropping off past 4.5K rpm. Hopefully Sam at GTM will chime in with some more info about it

It might be your MAF sensor, or vacuum leak

Are you talking about the belt that is pictured here on top of the trimmed part?

Can someone please verify this for me?

Just trim the Part where the red dash'es are. It will make getting the three bolts for idler pulley on much easier.

+1 on pics, especially interested in pez's install as he's installing a non-revup kit on his revup engine. The brackets do indeed look the same between the two kits, but his install should show whether the kits are indeed the same (minus the ems/injectors). Please keep us up to date on your install progress pez and whether you encounter any issues.

Yep will do. If all my parts arrive on time I will try and get it done in the next few weeks as i will away for about 2 months from June 1. Either way i will post my progress. This thread has been wealth of info. I may have to delete the passenger side (OZ ) water tank for the xenon washer so as to fit the traction oil cooler, i'm currently running a HKS oil cooler where the intercooler will be fitted.

Hi guys,

really need an answer on this asap.

The belt that i don't connect was the one referenced in the picture correct?

just to remind people, the belt i am referring to is so i can drive the car to the tuner once i install the kit.

The front belt you disconnect yes You will see when you install it that one belt fits around the oem pulleys & the other belt only goes around the idler pulley & the s.c pulley - this is the one you need to remove


Got my car back today, i'll get some graphs up a bit later on but basically

380 RWHP/ 420 Flywheel
350 Ft/Lb
7.5 PSI

Very happy with it
