GROUP BUY - NST Crank Pulley

[riceboy]

That's right folks, time for another performance part GB!!! I've received requests from numerous yarisworld.com members so this time we have a lightened OEM size crank pulley available from NonStopTuning (NST). It's a single groove crank pulley which will fit both the liftback and the sedan. The price will be $115USD via PayPal or $130CAD via Email money transfer. Pricing includes shipping direct to your door US/Canada. Each pulley comes with a 1 year warranty.

We need a minimum order quantity of 12 pcs, and we'll leave the GB open until January 2, 2007. Payments can be made to my paypal account, after the GB closes I will transfer funds and we should receive the parts in 4-6 weeks.

Any additional import taxes, duties, and brokerage fees where applicable, are the responsibility of the buyer.

Attached picture is to give you an idea of what the product will look like, but is not an accurate representation of the final product.

The NonStopTuning Lite series is a designation used for pulleys that are light-weight versions of their OEM counterparts. All NST pulleys are built using High quality 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum and are easily 50% to 60% lighter than steel or cast iron OEM pulleys.

The NST Lite series is designed for owners looking to reduce weight and increase the throttle response of their engines. These OEM-diameter pulleys will neither underdrive nor overdrive the associated accessories but can still lead to great throttle response and improved horsepower numbers in many applications.

You're killin' me Riceboy! F&#^%@*^$

*chops up Visa*

[riceboy]

lol.... I was going to wait until after the new year, but what will people do with all their Christmas money???

[dngz]

how does it compare to the c-one pulley?

[paultyler_82]

the C-One is an underdrive pulley, I beleive.

[dngz]

so which is better?

[paultyler_82]

that depends on what you're looking for, just know that underdrive pulleys sometimes require smaller belts or can cause unwanted suprises with alternators, a/c compressors, and so forth, so these lightweight pulleys like the NST are the better if you don't want the headaches that can unexpectedly occur with some underdrive pulleys

[ism3t]

is this only for mt or at as well?

[riceboy]

Not sure how it compares to the c-one but this one won't require any different belts. I'll find out about the MT vs AT issue, but I'm pretty sure that you'll see gains either way.

[ChinoCharles]

What kind of gains? I'm too lazy to do the research but what have other people with subcompacts said after installing one of these?

[eco]

The C-one is not an under-drive pulley,but by the looks of it,I shoulda waited.The C-one is $270,so this is a great deal,wish I coulda got in riceboy,but its already on its way here,now I might think about selling it,Ill see how it goes when I do the install.

[Chris07LB]

Ah, I see you talked to them afterall... thats the best they can do?

[dngz]

does anybody know the weight ration between this pulley and the OEM pulley? and how much will it really add on to the power of the car?

[paultyler_82]

It doesn't actually add any power, it just frees up a bit of power that was there all along... takes more power to spin a pulley that is two times heavier than another. I wasn't really sure if the C-One was an underdrive pulley or not, basically the only difference is probably price, but for JDM junkies, the C-One is a good pulley for a decent price, if you MUST have JDM product. But this pulley is probably the better deal. Both pulleys should work for A/T or M/T, the crank pulley shouldn't be different between versions. Always remember, mods like this work better in conjunction with other bolt ons, allows you to squeeze out as much power as you can.

[ism3t]

well if it works for at, sign me up!

[dngz]

yea, i think im gonna join.. not sure yet. gotta save up a lil more money.. just spent a lot of money on my exhaust

[YarisGuy]

They have a pretty cool website, www.NonStopTuning.com

According to their site all their pulleys are about 60 to 70% lighter than stock. Some of the comparisons look very impressive.

[Galavoxx]

Im getting one.

[Chris07LB]

10 left then... maybe ill get in on this... ill see.

[punch]

curious is the shop manual it says the pully is dampened, but this one isn't what effects will this have on the car?

[ChinoCharles]

$100 and I'm in... maybe 20 people will jump and they'll come down. Who knows.

[riceboy]

Hey everyone,

Something's come up so this GB is on hold, until I can get a couple things cleared up. Thanks for everyone's interest, & I'll keep everyone updated if things change.

Did you guys go to the websites above and notice that the benifits for theyre pulleys and muffler are the same,that saays somthing about this company.

BENEFITS
Great weight reduction
- Average of 65% - 70% over OEM
Increased horsepower
- Average of 7 - 10 horsepower
Lower ET's & higher trap speeds
- Average of .20s & average of 2MPH

I took a look around their site and found stuff like:

Weight comparisons between OEM and NST pulleys

Honda Civic
OEM Crank 74oz NST 24oz
OEM Alternator 08oz NST 03oz
OEM Water Pump 22oz NST 08oz

Scion tC
OEM Crank 59oz NST 14oz
OEM Alternator 10oz NST 03oz
OEM Water Pump 14oz NST 06oz

Nissan 350Z
OEM Crank 100oz NST 23oz
OEM Alternator 08oz NST 03oz
OEM Water Pump 15oz NST 12oz


These numbers are all about 70% lighter than the OEM numbers.
Are you suggesting that these are false claims and that their pulley numbers are false fabrications?

[eco]

I also noticed that,and no thats not what Im saying,I was just saying that how could the benifits be the same,maybe they dont do any testing of theyre products,besides weight change.

[Chris07LB]

They seem to have a very good reputation with the Scion crowd...

[dngz]

any word yet albert?

[nick1983]

I'll be in once it is back in

[punch]

Notice albert hasn't been online since dec 17th, what's up with that?

[Ran Kizama]

I'm in.

[riceboy]

Sorry boys, still waiting on a couple of different things... and been busy w/ work... will update everyone once things are together.

[dngz]

want.. pulley... noooww...!!!!

[ChinoCharles]

I actually had the chance to talk to Mike from NST today for a bit about the part and what their pulleys do and are capable of. Pretty cool stuff... their products have worked wonders for Scion tC's, Acura TSX's, and they're even working on fitting a pulley kit into a Lotus Elise. Expected gains on the 1NZ-FE are mild, but the increased engine response you'll see from a pulley will help out a bit with that straight line speed issue. What is also nice is that if we can convince some companies to develop some other engine components, NST will likely continue to deliver the right pulley for the job. The tC community now has something like 11 pulley options from NST alone. Lets all hope we have a new supporting vendor soon!

Extremely cool link with some extremely encouraging numbers.
