I'm not quite sure what type of comment would be warranted here.
Unfortunately we have never tested with any Yaris that did not have a/c. And as far as I can tell, you are our first ever customer to use one of these pulleys on a Yaris that has no a/c. Based on past experiences with other cars I can see how you may need a slightly shorter belt with your setup and it sounds like you have found your solution. Buying a new belt is a small price to pay in exchange for picking up a few extra ponies Any other owners out there running around with no a/c, please feel free to comment. |

You're not alone. I'm planning on getting the pullies soon and I don't have AC. I'm glad I popped over to this thread first.

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!

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.

I love momentum.

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. |
