ZPI spit in my face, so there. neener, neener.

As for race cars/street cars and A/C, my 443 whp track-prepared Scion tC still has the A/C. I'll remove it if (1) I stop driving on the street or (2) Global warming reverses and Southern California never tops 80 degrees.

3) you made promises of a dyno sheet...

instead of slamming zpi, focus your energy fulfilling your promises...

btw... your attempt at making an intake was an honorable one... and no one made the claim that you "spit in the face" of YW members...if they did, they were wrong...

dispite failures, zpi has not spit in anyone's face ... get off your high horse...

I don't think comparing any board member to a company that has been around for several years is correct. But since you did it, be it directly or indirectly, I will do a comparison of my own.

1) Last time I checked Charles did not take any member's money to build this intake. He tried it on his own dime.

2) ZPI is a company that "builds" products and was paid by members here who ordered a product that should have been tested extensively prior to being released. What did these members get? Products that did not fit, despite returns and adjustments.

3) ZPI does not have any dynos for their products either. And they have no solid record of doing anything productive for YW. Last we heard was that they were ignoring customer e-mails.

ChinoCharles has many posts and threads in which he has done 100X more for this community by spreading knowlege, giving others ideas and assistance. More than almost any company that has come to these forums.

CC has put up a DIY for the crank pulley, he has had at least some sort of hand in getting NST to build new pulleys. He even helped get the ball rolling on a new SSK.

Meanwhile, ZPI has been hiding away because of their bad reputation.

ZPI CRACKS FTL

No thanks, I won't be coming down my horse anytime soon.

I demand Lighweight A/C pully now!

Actually I dont see why not, it would just mean more $$ in the bank for NST!!
I would buy, but the point is not to use A/C while in High Performance use.

So if NST makes the A/C pulley, putting a whole pulley kit on a completely stock yaris will be a significant addition in performance and fuel economy. However there will always be trade off like increase in vibration, but this is minor and I am sure it is worth the trade off.

If one is so concerned about shaving weight the A/C compressor would be gone, the A/C pulley it's self does not weigh much it is the cluch that has all the weight. Even if there was a lightened AC pulley you would be adding the weight right back on by reinstalling the clutch so the AC will function properly, and has anyone else here changed a compressor clutch with out breakin open the system? it does not look fun on our car... A lightened AC pulley would be a useless mod, like color matched piston rods

Does anyone know how much the complete A/C system might weigh?

It's July! How's the news on the ALT and WP pulleys?

Generally, an A/C system weighs about 40-50lbs for EVERYTHING. The compressor itself is usually about 30lbs. Then you have the condensor, all the lines, coils, heat exchanger, dryer, etc.

X2!

YarisGuy · 07-05-2007, 03:47 PM

My guess is they'll release specs on the ALT and WP pulleys after they ship the new SSKs. Maybe we should start a YW betting pool?!

NonStopTuning · 07-23-2007, 02:25 AM

The NST CR-Lite is now back in stock and ready to replace your crappy OEM pulley! Anyone else in the mood to try one out?

Black Yaris · 07-23-2007, 02:27 AM

can we still get one shipped with our SSK if we get payment to ya on monday?

Absolutely! A few of your fellow board members have already done this

ChinoCharles · 07-23-2007, 02:42 AM

Just swinging in to say NST FTW! If you don't have this pulley yet, what are you waiting for?

Black Yaris · 07-23-2007, 02:50 AM

Jerkratt · 07-23-2007, 02:50 AM

They make that much difference, do they?

the crank pully has been the most noticeable mod, in terms of power gained. so, yes, it does make quite a difference!

eTiMaGo · 07-23-2007, 10:29 AM

It's hard to quantify the power gained if any, but the engine did increase in responsiveness, it revs up and down noticeably faster, my whole shift timing was too slow after changing it.
