High Rev Ecotec Pulley

[EcotecFiveSpeed]

Hey guys. I put the High Rev Aluminum pulley on this weekend so I thought I'd share. If you put one on you will need a 21mm socket to fit the crank bolt. The bolt is a regular lefty loosie, righty tighty type of bolt. I used a 1/2" breaker bar with the socket on it. Getting the belt on and off was a total pain. I couldn't loosen the tension pulley. It just didn't move for me. There must be some trick I don't know. Anyway, I haven't driven the car so I don't know how it feels yet. Next weekend I am putting on the Weapon-R secret intake. I'll take a picture when I do.

Well I drove the car to and from work today. About 50 miles total. The pulley doesn't make much of a difference. It makes the car feel a little bit better, but it's only worth a hosrepower or two. Still, a little more power here and there and it will add up. I'll have the air intake on this weekend and I'll probably try a weapon-r 4-2-1 header over Thanksgiving break.

Cool deal. I never have noticed a dramatic difference installing a pulley. Should rev noticable quicker though which could possibly help acceleration.

I put on the weapon-r secret intake. They left out one of the couplings. I wouldn't spend the money again. I'd just stick with the regular wai that cost less.

but if its not that noticable i wouldnt do it under drive/ over drive pullys are a bad idea all around your messing with the coolant system, power steering, alternater... just not a good idea
