Thanks :)

Good questions.

1. We use a grade of aluminum which is what the aircraft industry and NASA (cold space adventures) use in building certain components. We then HARD anodize our pulleys for extra strength. No, the main purpose of anodizing is not to make your pulley look pretty. Companies that tell you bare aluminum pulleys are just as strong as anodized ones should not be dealt with.

2. There is a US act called the Moss Act. Basically it states that ANY aftermarket component can be used, and can not void warranty, unless said component can be proven beyond doubt to have caused specific failure related to that area of the car.

2b. I have found through personal experience that dealer service managers will take very good care of their customers when the customers are professional and mature with their attitudes and behavior. Individuals who go to dealerships and act like the dealer owes them the world will be refused for the smallest of issues, others will not.

Such a pulley would cost more than three times that of the crank pulley. The OEM a/c pulley has a clutch mechanism built into the pulley and unfortunately this design is very costly.

1. I would not feel comfortable asking you to fork over $350 for one single pulley which will not improve your performance.

2. I would not feel comfortable building 100 pieces when 97 of them would sit on the shelves for the next 3 years

I suggest spending your $350 on the pulleys we currently offer, and saving the other $350 for other goodies which will make your car much more enjoyable. Better yet, save it in your "what will NST build next" savings account.

As far as the warranty is concerned,they will typicaly restrict your warranty if they see parts. The whole warranty won't be voided but the pwertrain might be. And like NST said there is the act that puts the burden of proof on the dealer. Yet your warranty will be restricted before you ever get any of it sorted out. Then I assume you would have to go to court and get a court order making them reverse the restriction. Which is more than a pain for most people with daily lifes with jobs. The car companys have great lawyers too. So their are law on the books to defend us,its no cake walk though. If you modify your car,its better off to assume that your warrany will be voided. Chances are,I don't think they would notice the pulley,if you are concerned get the grey one,so it won't stand out like a a sore thumb.

Edit: If for instense you had an engine problem,I would put the stock pulley back on then they wouldn't ever know. Thats what the mustang crowd does,they get new motors and transmissions all the time by putting their car back to stock before taking it in. Even if you have to pay to have it put back to stock by a shop, its worth it to not eat the cost of a motor or trans.

Hi NST! i would like to know , i have the 1300cc yaris , it has the aircon unit running on the same belt as the crank pulley and obviously the alternator , thie crank pulley will still work and wont cause any adverse effects??I ask cause i have already ordered mine and only noticed that now , stupid me i know , but i dont see that it cant work , experts, what you recon???

The aircond also works on this pulley with the 1.5L engine, as long as the actual crank pullley is the same, there should be no problem

Unfortunately we have not been able to test the CR-Lite with the 1300cc Yaris, as we do not have any here in the USA. We have however, sold several of these pulleys to 1300 owners internationally and these customers have never reported any problems. My understanding is that the 1500 and 1300 both share the same crank pulley. You should have no problems.

That stock crank pulley is one heavy unit... NST FTW!

You could use the stock pulley as ballast on a hot air balloon
