mines going in soon im pumped!

Deltasix · 04-20-2009, 02:52 PM

Installed mine a few weeks ago, certainly can feel a bit more response on the lower end (went with the underdrive pulley). Noticed a bit better fuel mileage than before, not a drastic change or anything of the like, but anything is appreciated!

gmodder · 04-20-2009, 04:37 PM

Got my set installed Friday...Definetly a nice improvement...Iam also seeing better gas mileage. Engine is just as smooth as before if not better....

As far as the performance. Well my heavy ass 17" wheels are kind of killing that..LMAO..

i was just hoping it could be noted somewhere that a new belt is req'd if you don't have a/c

I'll note this for my store - Do you know the part number of the shorter belt that worked?

i just finished putting mine in its sweet thanks micro image again for being great

I ordered one from garm last week, its coming in a couple of hours. I killed some time by getting off the stock crank pulley manually with no impact wrench and well....I must be the strongest guy on YW cause that has got to be the easiest thing I've done on my car. I literally did it while lying on my back...ha! All the bolts were super easy for me to get off, that or my car didnt come out of the factory with the bolts torqued properly, lol. First time I've really been excited to see the weird UPS delivery guy. I'll post pix soon!

EDIT:

4 hours later ups arrives...then install! I havent gone to bed yet so I was too tire for pix, sorry. Anyways heres what happened when I first got in the car...

First thing I noticed was the idle was almost unoticeable. It felt as if my car wasnt even running. Definitely a lot quieter too, it was scary at first haha. Throttle is more responsive, the shifts are so clean and smooth in my auto. Power increase within the mid range, hrm...need to drive more tomorrow to see more...hehe.

Thanks NST, garm, and chinocharles' diy.

So did anyone see any HP gains with just the light crank pulley (not underdriven), and the OEM WP and Alt pulleys?

Thanks!

Really, the lite pulley frees up HP from the crank that would otherwise be wasted moving a considerably heavier pulley. Seriously, you could use the stock pulley as a boat anchor (albeit on a very small personal boat, but still you get the idea.) Also a plus on the automatic is it helps resolve "gear hunting" up hills.

I have JUST the light crank pulley and it made a world of a difference. I had the battery disconnected while I was working on the pulley and some electrical stuff so I guess it took the ECU a couple of day to 'learn' the new revs. Theres a definite increase in power all throughout the power range. I could only imagine the addition of the WP and ALT will increase power even more. Honestly just the difference you feel at idle and shifting is worth it, I just consider the HP a cool bonus.

The stock pulley is way heavier than the NST one. I was playing with the stock one earlier today and dropped it on my foot...OW..

I did notice on my auto sedan when going up a hill it didnt do that stupid gear hunting

Nice! I'm glad to hear this also helped resolve your "gear hunting".

d1nzfe · 05-11-2009, 06:47 AM

Hi NST pulley users, I would like to know if you guys have this sign of wear and tear on your WP-lite pulley?

suiller · 04-28-2009, 11:16 AM

sorry to bore here again... but I've not understood if this pulley will fit on new 09 yaris too (model 2009, 1.33 dual VVTi)

someone is able to give me a definitive response?? thx

regards,
davide

scape · 05-01-2009, 04:23 PM

i'm confused here, some are stating smoother idling, and someone in a thread even reported it being dead-quiet..but others are stating rough idles...my guess is the belt tension, but I'm just curious what's up

bikegerm · 05-09-2009, 03:43 PM

Well after putting them on a chain and wearing them like "bling" for a few weeks, my complete underdrive pulley set was installed today !! Now when I take off from a dead stop I have "Zing" !! There is definitely a difference with initial "launching" and in throttle response when I shift between gears.

Second, I can't believe the difference in pulley weights. When I put a factory pulley in one hand, and a NST "RED" in the other, the weight difference was so significant that you could "guess" that the NST pulley "felt" 40-50 percent lighter. Don't know exact specs, but I do know it's amazing how much lighter they are !!

SHOUT OUT TO MIKE NACARATO

Went to his house this morning and he had my complete set installed in 90 minutes. He's got all the tools, know how, and passion for what he's doin'. I got to ask questions and torque the water pump pulley while he loosened it! This is what Yarisworld should be about. Fellow members helping each other out for the common coolness of cars!! This just got me more excited for the Import Alliance gathering in July.
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS MIKE !!

mikenacarato · 05-09-2009, 06:15 PM

glad you like it randy and im happy to help. just hope nothing falls apart ;) jk lol

lammy29 · 05-09-2009, 07:19 PM

does the lite set work for the 1.3 2SZ-FE?

gwasabi · 05-11-2009, 06:53 AM

Sorry to have to be the first with a negative comment, but the I got the underdrive pulley and seriously.....it's not really like everyone says. It's not what it's all hyped up to be. It does however help when I'm on the freeway doing a downhill pull but the the pulley doesn't do much until 4-5k when your almost out of run to do it.

Underdrive pulley does have negative effect on AC. it's the only thing I noticed after installing it. Ac isn't as cold as it used to be but it's something I figured would happen. I'm pretty sure though this lightened pulley will open up horse power for later boost applications though.

Not trying to bash NST or anything btw. I have their SSK and it's frikken sweet! but I just don't think the pulleys are what everyone on the forums hype it up to be.

jmunchar · 05-12-2009, 12:30 PM

I just have something to ask all the guys that have installed the NST pulleys. I am currently driving a sedan auto. Will installing either underdrive pulley or the lite pulley effect the top speed of my car? I know that it will help in the early pick up but what about the top speed?
