The Underdrive Crank Pulley is definitely the way to go if you can only afford to pick up one pulley.

Let's put it this way...

Want the ABSOLUTE best gains from your n/a or turbo setup? Pick up the Underdrive Crank Pulley along with the Alternator and Water Pump Pulley Kit.

On a budget and want 65% to 70% of the performance you would get if you had the FULL setup? Then go with the Underdrive Crank Pulley alone and pick up the other pulleys in the future.

The majority of our customers pick up a crank pulley and then come back for the other two pulleys a few months later, once they experience the gains from the crank pulley.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

im not sure if i posted this or not but i picket up the complete set on ebay when you sold them there a few weeks ago. shipping was excellent and the items arrived in perfect shape! the install was easy (i have access to air tools though) and straightforward. the car revs a bit quicker and feels stronger through the whole powerband.

this is a perfect first mod!

It will work well if you have the 1.5liter 1NZ engine, with electric power steering!

Went to my mechanic today to get the underdrive pulley and shifter cable bushings installed.

First impressions of the underdrive pulley, it felt alot lighter then the stock crank pulley. Which was good. Installation was fairly quick about 30-40mins tops.

One problem my mechanic mentioned that he had the push the tension to the max setting which could require a shorter belt in the future if it started making start up noises/squeeks. But none the less he said it was good for now anyway.

Started the car up. No sound issues. Driving impressions were good, it felt abit smoother to get up to speed. The throttle response was abit more revvy, but i did not get to fully test it. So it did not seem like it was a huge difference, but there is definately abit more punch.

Onto the shifter cable bushings, my mechanic installed the fairly easy. Moving it around for the first time after the bushings were installed it felt very stiff, i almost could not move it. Haha, but after a few shifts while the car was sitting, the movement came back. I have the NST Engine Short Shifter and i must say that they work well together. It feels alot more firmer then it was, which makes it alot better to drive now.

Overall i'm pretty satisfied with these products, but i'll have to give the pulley abit more testing

could be the belt on the new pully........I had a pontiac that i put pullys on and it made a nasty noise the first 5 miles which took me an hour to drive as i pulled over to look for issues every 1000 feet too.......check the alignment of the pully and make sure it is not on to deep or shallow....that was what my first thought was on mine,but ended up being old belt no like the new pully.

Well, I'm quite certain I've found the problem, which brings both good and bad news. The good, the NST pulley in no way has caused the problem. The bad, the water pump has some dried antifreeze "crust" below it, indicating a failing water pump. I did some searching on Scionlife and found this.

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/view...ght=water+pump

Watch the video... Wow, a similar noise. Why mine decided to make the noise when it did and then go away is beyond me. Coincidence I guess. And according to the scionlife thread, it seems earily common to have a WP go out at about my mileage.

So, long story short, I'm not replacing it tomorrow as I have found zero fluid under the car after it has been parked and the noise has not returned. I'll get a genuine pump (and some belts I suppose) from Sparks Toyota and keep it ready for when the noise returns or a faster leak developes.

Oh and here are a couple pictures.
Heres the Pink "crust" under the WP-


And an installed pic of the NST pulley-

No NST etched logo.
