Thanks again for the help guys.
Its similar to lightening the flywheel. More snappy and rev happy. It will drop rpms quicker on shifts though,and have more engine braking. Baisicly you sacrafice smoothness for responsiveness,how much I don't know...I don't have one...don't plan on it either,I want my engine bearings to last as long as possible,and I don' believe thei is a dampening with the lightweights ive seen. I will be snatching up unerdrive pulleys when they come out though

You'll never see an underdriven crank pulley for a Yaris. Crank case design doesn't allow for it.

My experience is this... I paid a little over $100 for my crank pulley, and I have the NST flavor. The only hard thing about the install is the crank bolt, but other than that it is easy. Just bring a really strong friend. The part is certainly worth it... you'll notice quicker throttle response and more power, as well as a more efficient engine. If you're interested in playing with your 1NZ, this is a really good place to start.

Of course, don't buy anything other than NST or the YW Mafia will come to your house and kill your babies. That and you don't want to waste your money on anything less than the best.

They can't make a smaller crank pulley? I was refering to underdrives on the accesories. I would put a crank pulley on if it was balanced and had a dampening ring.

"My friend and I were just walkin' by and we noticed you had ZIP pulley cranks on your car. It sure would be horrible if something ever happened to your car. So let me tell you somethin' my friend. If we come by here tomorrow and you don't have NST pulleys on there your baies are gonna be sleepin' with the fishes. See?"
