i picked up these single 2" belt pulleys from a friend on the forum and for two days i've been working on getting the thick layers of paint off and polishing them till they were spotless. After many hours and MULTIPLE coats of paint stripper, these were the results:





without a doubt, the pulleys look 5x's better than the condition i got them in, and 20x's better looking and functional than the OEM pulleys. Not only are the new pulleys more eye catching, they are lighter as well. There is clearly a difference in engine feel/ torque; running a 2" width belt vs an OEM .5" width belt certainly works better. Unfortunately, I was too excited and forgot to take pictures of them installed, but will have them up tomorrow. Not 100% sure who makes these pulleys but from my knowledge, they may be an 'Atkins Pulley Kit'.

Feel free to share your thoughts, i'm interested to see what kind of feedback i'll get

 

gilmer setup?
looks good, looks very good

let me know what you think;D

 

i hope you have manual rack in there..

 

Definately look better, nice buy.

 

damn.. looks good

 

what pulleys are those they dont look like the gilmer set up ?

 

looks like the atkins kit

 

if only they made one so that you can keep the ps and a/c would be nice

 

They are not a gilmer drive set up.

 

does it sound any different??

 

thats what i figured . gilmer is more of a timing belt design .
how much the kit go for new?

 

the belt doesn't make a whine, but the engine response is definitely better

 

heres the link to atkins rotary to purchase them:

What about the timing marks on the Pully, and why do you only have 3 bolts on the main Pully?

$295! I'll stick with my double v-belts...

 

something i had in mind sooner or later. But im afraid i need to make something cuz 295 is to much for such a set. I mean way to much.

 

the timing marks are cnc'd on the pulley! the fourth bolt wouldnt go in, need to replace those bolts
