I know that, buddy. Which is why there's no need to bring up the dampener subject, is there?

That's fine and dandy. I'm just trying to avoid you a headache over imaginary problems. Worry away if you must.

As you can see, it is not me who is making said mountain (or interested in doing so). I am, however, trying to help protect a brand that I happen to be a supporter of.

Having one (allegedly) faulty pulley (out of hundreds if not thousands of pulleys made by NST) potentially damage the reputation of a company that is backed by the tuning/performance scene in general but also these forums in particular doesn't seem like fair treatment to me, especially since we don't have enough facts about this particular case to reach any kind of conclusion either way.

Also, having someone post a potentially damaging post without consulting with the fabricator first doesn't seem fair to me either. But I guess that's just me.

If u can still see my past posts, i did post on this thread before asking about this pulley. I have post some doubts on the wear and even post a pic on it long ago.I have great confidence in the product. But it fail me after 50000km++ so its the end of NST road for me. This is a fact.

I think he's being perfectly fair about his statements over the pulley breaking on him. If I bought something somewhere, and it broke on me, I'd be damned sure to tell EVERYONE that I knew who might buy something there as well. That being said, I still fully endorse NST pulleys, as I've had mine for almost 2 years now, and I still love them. Just nobody can make something 100% perfect, there will be some problems somewhere, sometime.

60+ thousand miles on my full set and no problems. Perhaps the bolts were improperly torqued? Not bad seeing 1 problem out of thousands of users.

About NST (NonStopTuning) Pulleys, does anybody know if they work in a yaris sedan 1.5 a/t? I also ordered but not intalled OBX headers, K&N Typhon intake, Magnaflow muffler and the sprintbooster (electronic throtle accelerator).

I'll apreciate all your comments.

Thanks

For those who have the full lite pulley set, would anyone care to give their impressions? I'm interested in these.

The biggest bang comes from the crank pulley. The others in the set are mostly cosmetic.

^ hey aurora, i have a cottage there (ninth line area)

as for the pulley set its really amazing. there is such a huge difference with them on. only issue is getting them on :p crank pully wasnt too bad to put on but holding it while tightning the blot was a challange. i also have lite water pump pully which took some time too get on but was very happy with the results none the less.

^ why are the others in the set cosmetic? Is there anyone that started with just a crank pulley and added the other two pulleys later? I'm definitely going to get at least the crank pulley, but I'm on the fence on the other two.

Yes....however it was when they introduced the crank first. Then the others came out. I believe cheaper prices were in back then also.

i put just my crank on first and tested it out and i noticed a massive difference. put the water pump pully on and noticed nothing. the water pump pully i got was also grey so its not cosmetic at all..... i recommend only getting the crank and if i could do it all over again thats all i would get. the stock water pump pully is maybe only 1lbs difference then the lite one but the crank is almost a 20 lbs difference

hey, when you are talking about things that rotate every ounce counts. It might not be a ton, but the lighter those pulleys are, the less effort it takes to spin them, meaning more power for what really counts.
