I'm going to talk to a service guy I know down at our Toyota dealer and see what his take is on this mod.
I put red loctite on mine. I pity the fool who has to remove it. Probably end up being me...

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.

Sure, for car parts. Air tools won't work on Mt. Bike parts.

No. The old Yaris has a 2 belt pulley, from what I understand. You may be able to use a Scion pulley. Ask the Scion guys over on Scionlife.com.

No, because anyone that wants horsepower that badly can just remove that pulley and get a shorter belt.


No, honestly there are no plans as of yet, but as long as we keep supporting NST... NST will keep supporting us. Never know.

Very good question Doc!

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.

Thanks for the answer Mike (and Chino!) re: A/C pulley.

And with regards to demand driving the aftermarket support, now that its warm out I'm very much looking forward to installing my cherry red NST crank pulley. Just wanna get it on the dyno first for a stock run. AANNNDDD I can't wait for the other pulleys to be released this summer... I'll be in that group buy too!
