i dont feel like reading the whole thread, but i put on my underdrive pulley yesterday and had to buy a new belt that was 355mm long vs the stock 360mm....

belt was too long otherwise...wouldnt get tension in it..

mine is a 3dr w/o air conditioning...

might be worth noting...

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.

i was just hoping it could be noted somewhere that a new belt is req'd if you don't have a/c

i realize it wont come up too often, but itll save a lot of running around for someone doing the next install

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.

tried to PM, but u gotta delete some first so...

hey, i was thinkin about underdriving but it's seriously not suggested for my camaro as a daily driver. i was wondering what you would say as a economical standpoint on the underdrive. i'm worried about longevity over power...i have a 500hp camaro for power...

any way, i'm going with the alt and wp pullies as well, but dont know about underdriving.

any way, PM or reply here pls.
