There's a small keyslot in the pulley and on the end of the shaft. This is the only thing turning the pulley essentially. It's tiny and easy to lose especially if you're not expecting it.

Ok thanks Fatty and others for clearing things up.
And do you mean a little "metal brick" type thing that slides in?
And I wont really need the key if im on a lift and drop it enough that the other drive wheel is on the ground and it wont move when im tightening the bolt?

Is the rubber ring to be saved or does a new pulley come with one?

As for the belts. I cant see myself replacing a new belt every year. Dont some new OEM ones last just as long as the timing belt changing intervals?

There's timing marks on the crankshaft pulley but the timing belt runs off an inner sprocket and the cam gears. Getting the pulley off is a pain if you don't have the right tools. But the timing belt job is 4-5 hours. The crank pulley install is 1 hour.

MilwaukeeDave

Yes the little metal "brick" you need it no matter how you do the job lol. It's used to turn the pulley as the engine runs. Without it just the shaft will spin and not the pulley. You don't need any rubber ring w this pulley, just bolt it on. As far as the belts that's your decision. I plan on replacing mine soon. When I took it off around 72,000 miles it still was in good condition so I left it be for now.

Does the supercharger need to be removed to replace the crank pulley? It has been so long that I can't even remember now.

This does NOT run your timing. It has NOTHING to do with timing. This and the timing belt sprocket are attached to the crankshaft, held in place by a keyway. Removing the crank pulley will not effect your timing.

fsttyms1

No.

Thanks for offering this Josh. Order placed.

Ordered mine!!! Such a good deal and its a limited production item. Heck Yes.

Thanks Guys

spydercatt

Anyone who has done this mod please tell me what the difference in "feel" is once you have installed the UD pulley? Better MPG? More pull off the line? Quicker throttle response?

The more specific the better.

Thx.

OK!
Just placed my order!
Going to inspect my belts first though to see if they need replacing as well.
And XLR8: do they come with a warranty? And when can I expect to get them, after the 11/15 sale end date correct?
Thanks.

Stephen00TL

Engine revs much easier and gets you to the upper rpms faster where the most power is made. It's the only thing other than the headers I could actually feel after changing. Anytime you can shave weight off rotational mass such as the crank it's definently worth it.

Excelerate

iTrader: (1)

You're welcome and thank you.

You're welcome and thank you.

Yes, the pulleys come with a 5 yr limited warranty. I've never warrantied a pulley to date though so I doubt there will be an issue.

The pulleys will ship in December.

Stephen00TL

^ that's good to know although I've had mine on for a few thousand miles with no problems

TheMightyQuinn

What's the status on the pulley order? I was going to replace by belts and auto tensioner but may wait until the pulley arrives. Any idea when they should ship? Thanks!

fsttyms1

He tells you in at the bottom of post 55

TheMightyQuinn

Thanks. Good to know he's still holding to the schedule laid out in October.

lol
I have been checking my mail recently for this, not yet
Anybody get theirs yet?

jsloden

Just called them. Said it would be another 2 weeks. So much for a Christmas gift. I know they're supposed to be a ligitiment business and that many people on here have dealt with them with great success but if we're sending them our money with the promise of a product by a certain then they need to honor it.

TheMightyQuinn

Thanks for the update. I've been hoping for an update directly from the horse's mouth ever since the "mid-December" ETA came and went, but I'll take what I can get!

MilwaukeeDave

iTrader: (3)

I'm glad I got mine last summer!!

Gabru678

iTrader: (1)

Yea man I was kinda hoping it would be soon.
I have classes after my break and wont be able to work on the car much.
And also probably going to leave the job at the Dealership so I cant do it my self.
*saddest sigh you ever heard

MilwaukeeDave

iTrader: (3)

Don't u dare pay someone to put that pulley on when its so easy!!! Do it halftime of a football game or something!

HairyMonkey019

iTrader: (7)

Lol, I wish I had the money for this deal when it was on. I wouldn't complain about when it would come cuz that is one hell of a deal

jsloden

Not complaining about the deal I got. Just saying that when they said they were going out mid December that this was the case instead of being a month late. If they had originally said mid January and that's when they actually shipped that would have been fine.

jsloden

Anyone got any updates?

iTrader: (3)

Atleast what they send you will be an awesome limited addition part . Would you rather them send you the version one ? No , you want the sweet new one . I ordered my headers from these guys , and they arrived on time , and gave me a killer deal on 2 day shipping. Nothing but good things to say about them. Why would they want to post in this negative thread...?

TheMightyQuinn

I completely agree and I think most others who ordered do too. The fact that we're so stoked to get this part is why people are asking for an update.

MilwaukeeDave

iTrader: (3)

It's not a limited/special edition of the pulley, it's just the most recent version. Still awesome but it's not any different than the most recent version. Hope you guys get it soon, it's a great upgrade.

TheMightyQuinn

I interpretted Excelerate's comments to mean this one will be even lighter than the most recent version sold:

and

Excelerate

iTrader: (1)

These are supposed to ship to me next week. So in about 1-2 weeks they will start shipping out from us.

Actually these are even lighter than the last version so they will be a bit different.

Stephen00TL

Saw this in the cl section posted today so figured I would add it here. As far as it being different from the one milwaukeedave or the one I have being different, the only way would be to take a picture of the new one when it comes in and compare it to the one we have.

MilwaukeeDave

iTrader: (3)

Damn even lighter?!? Dammit...

STGTLS

iTrader: (5)

Cant freaking wait!!!!!

HairyMonkey019

iTrader: (7)

to make up the difference, just lose some water weight

Stephen00TL

Don't worry about it the difference will be so small that it will never be felt or worth it. It's just a small benefit to those who are getting the new design. I still would like to see pictures of it when it comes in

TheMightyQuinn

Finally got my shipping notification. It's on its way!

TheMightyQuinn

I'm surprised no one has posted since receiving their crank pulley. To me it looks the same as the previous run: same number of holes and and doesn't look any thinner (although it may be). I don't have a scale to weigh it to see if it's any lighter than the last run. Either way, I'm happy to have one and at a cheaper than listed price to boot.
