Crank Pulley
stock 50 oz --- nst 13oz

-Alternator Pulley
stock 10 oz --- nst 2 oz


-Water Pump Pulley

What about the 10% underdrive crank pulley?
How much does it weight ?

I see installing the underdrive pulley means you need to re-tension the belt... how do I do that? and how do I know what the tension is supposed to be?

The alternator is used as the main source of tension for the belt.
When in doubt... more tension is better than more slop.

There was a DIY posted that included a method which I also used. Prior to loosening the alt., mark it with a line using a felt tip at the point where the bolt goes thru the bracket. This way you have a line on the alt. and the bracket. Without smearing the marks in the process, do your replacement and then realign the marks and secure. If you are also putting on the 10% underdrive crank your bolt position will move approx. 1/2 to 3/4 in. As far as tool used to achieve the tension, I used a wrapped prybar placed carefully.

Don't forget to allow for stretch if you are doing a belt change. Your marks will not align and to much tension to get them too will or may cause damage to other parts.

Hope that helps.

Carefull!!! Too much tension will damage the waterpump!

Now this is my question.... is there any of those pulleys available for the 1st generation Yaris or Echo (whatever makes you happy)? we have a small crew down in Panama city, Panama very interested on that but we are not sure if we get them, are they going to fit or to work in our engines? 1.3L 2nz-fe

Yes, these same pulleys fit the 1.3L. Many international Yaris owners are using these pulleys.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects down there

I'd think anodized aluminum would handle it better.

You might wanna check on something else if you are getting salt that far up into your engine compartment though :D

Hold your horses guys!!!

The 1.5L and the 1.3L pulleys are the same as long as they are the same generation Yaris.

For the first generation Yaris (echo) either the 1.5 or the 1.3 you need to look for the Scion xB (first gen) pulleys.

Your cars have a double belt design crank pulley that is not a match with the Yaris pulleys offered by NST.


However, don't feel bad... NST has pulleys for the first gen xB that should fit your cars!

WOW!

It's hard to believe one little upgrade could make such a difference... It revs better, accelerates faster, even sounds nicer, I think. One thing I know, the shift points have moved. With the stock pulley, shifting into 2nd happened at 30mph and shifting into 3rd at 60mph. It's changed to 33-34mph and 63-64mph respectively. And getting to those shift points is much quicker. In stock form hitting 85mph was like an event. (that's my video btw) Now I find myself pulling it back from 80 all the time... I down shift to pass someone, and suddenly I'm on my way towards 90... To tell the truth, with stock suspension I think it's almost a little scary! I took my coworkers to lunch yesterday, and thought it was kinda funny to watch their heads snap backwards. I think I'm going to take another 0-85 video when I get a chance and post it here...(maybe after my springs are installed) In closing I must say

NST FTW!

Glad you are enjoying your pulley!!!
