As far as using a new bolt on the crank pulley, I didn't need a new one. My mechanic installed it for me (he had the air tools and hoist) and I haven't had a single issue. As for the engine braking in the auto, I haven't really noticed a big difference. I have been trying to use DFCO as much as I can in town, but this was after I got the pulley installed. Can't really say it changed much at all. Also the local drag strip opened up and has a schedule now, I am going to get my Yaris (after CAI) and LeBaron turbo out there and have some numbers soon.

engine braking is still the same no change it actually was noticable just with the intake that add alot of engine braking but the difference is noticable on the auto but the engine braking is more back to stock i have all three pulleys. but love it going up hill is like butter now. exhaust and headers are next then ill work the suspension after

Yeah, I used the blue loctite... just in case it ever does have to come off.

That red is too strong in my opinion. I always use the blue medium strength and still think it's tough to get bolts undone somtimes.

Chino gave you a very good answer there, but I will take it one step further for you. The A/C pulley on most Toyotas is a "clutch-type" pulley. This clutch engages from time to time in order to start your compressor. Building a lightweight version of this type is very difficult and very expensive. And to be honest with you, the gains would not be worth the cost. Those building track cars would rather eliminate the A/C unit. Other Updates: We are currently working on a few things for you guys. Some of these are new alternator and water pump pulleys. Keep an eye on our site for a summer release. Last but not least... Contrary to popular belief, supply of aftermarket products relies much more on the DEMAND side rather than the supply side! And demand does not mean you guys posting on forums and saying "build stuff for us!" Demand means you guys supporting the aftermarket companies that are willing to cater to your needs, build and test quality products, and offering you a great value. The more you support these companies by actually USING their current products, the more they will be willing to build you other products in the future. Having said all of this, I want to thank all of you who have supported us thus far. I promise you that if you keep supporting us, I will keep working very hard to design, test, and bring new products to the market for you guys. |
