For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    UR pulleys installed yesterday

    ok so i got my UR pulleys installed yesterday...took me over 2.5hrs. breaker bar, impact gun, nothing worked....so i took a torch and heated the bolts up. even the p/s and alternator pulleys were difficult to remove ugh. and the belt numbers that UR gave me were correct. no squealing, no abnormal noises, nothing wrong. in fact they run quieter than the stock ones!! the power....huge ass difference and i still have to really break the belts in, do a final belt adjustement and let the comp do sommore adjustments but it is by far the best upgrade(power gain wise) i have done yet. the weight difference was insane. the entire wieght of all three pulleys were little under 2lbs. the stock crank itself was over 5.5lbs lol. and it was nearly double the size of the UR crank pulley. now i have a pretty kicking system and i haven't had any issue with that or even lights dimming at low rpms. another satisfied customer of UR pulleys!!!!!!!!! if anyone was thinking of getting these pulleys.....do so!!!! parts including the belts were under 300...288.37 to be exact

    Yeah, U/R pullys rock!

    I have just the lightweight power steering pulley that I bought off of a guy from ebay. Works great! Had it on the car for a long time an it's still on there with no problems. Yes there is a difference in just the weight which should let the motor turn the crank easier to allow more power and torque to the wheels. Looking into getting the rest of the U/R set but I won't be paying that much just for the U/R pully set.

            ok so there was some squealing of the belts, tightened them and walla, problem solved....for anyone that did pulleys or are going to do pulleys, if the belts squeal, the tension is not right. even if u set the tension when u first put them on they will loosen quite a bit bc of normal belt break in. for me i have to adjust tension again in a week or so and that should be it. the proper precedure for belt tightening is as follows; tighten belts to specs at first install, run car for 5 min, turn off, tighten to specs, turn on car for 15min, turn off and tighten to specs, turn on car for 1hr, turn off and tighten to specs. now by no means do u need to just have ur car sitting there for the 1 hr part but 5min,15min and 1hr is the best and most accurate way to adjust the belts. if squealing persists make sure the belts are on right and the tension is still within specs, make sure the crank pulley isn't scraping against anything bc mine had clearance issues with a plastic part but that slowly is rubbing down no biggie. hope this helps anyone with/ or will have the UR pulleys..........still by far the best mod done yet!!!!
