The best dual belt pulley?

So I'm looking for a dual belt alternator pulley as my air pump locked up and was removed long ago.

Having trouble finding one in the classifieds without the alternator.
I checked out the guy that sells them for $20, but his email is unresponsive as well as the phone number for their store. ( rotary innovation I think? )

Mazdatrix sells one for $50, some eurosports website sells them for $39.

I also saw a thread the other day where someone broke one of the 2 piece pulleys.

What are you running, what did you pay for it and has it worked out well?

Any other input would be appreciated as well.

Well I just pick up another pulley, It was me who snapped the pulley. I'm not sure who made it, but it's %30 bigger than stock. It works out well, but if you find a steel pulley i'd recommend that. But that's just because the aluminum one snapped on me.

It'll be once in a while you'll find it for $25 shipped, but spending $50 shipped isn't bad at all. Just make sure that it's solid. Also run the same belts, lol.

I'm running the known brand duel alternator, looks more beefy. Paided $25 from someone on here, and working out really well right now.

see that would be cool with me to get one from someone here in the classifieds, but folks are always selling them for more like $50 with the alternator which I don't need. Thanks for your input.

Yea, it looks pretty slick and the aluminum finish will work well in my engine bay, I figured as long as it holds up I'll go ahead and buy it. If its worked well for you for this long then it sounds like a good deal. Thanks.

^ better check again. Ordered one on the 20th from the same guy, didn't get it or hear from anyone by the 28th. Tried to email and all attempts failed, tried to call the number on that site and it's out of service.

I payed paypal and they never accepted the payment so no harm done, but no pulley either.

My guess is he just doesn't do it anymore but the site is still active.


Yea I looked at the rb one too, but its over $50. That rotor shaped one seems to work well for a lot of folks and it looks great so I'm gonna pick that one up.

It's working out damn well right now. I'm just going to fine tune the afc, so I can have 12.3/6 wot. Doesn't ping or knock what so ever, so i'm feeling safe. I haven't retarded the ignition yet either. I will once I put in a boost controller, Retarding it 3 degrees manually. So far 3 weeks and running strong. Took it up to 135mph easily yesterday.

I am just a tad bit faster than a s5 tii, just because of the .7 high compression and aggressive timing. (I'm hoping to pick up a stand alone soon)

I think the mazdatrix/racing beat pullys are under driven.

I didn't want an underdrive pulley, so I went with tweak it. Have to wait a while for it to arrive unless you pay super extra for the faster shipping.

Look on ebay. Theres some on there or get a yoohoo belt from pinapple so the water pump wont slip.

I'mrunning a dual aluminum pulley. I'm using a fd alternator since the stock s4 is a piece of crap putting out 70 amps or 80. Forget which one.

Oh I got mine from banzai toyota/racing when he was selling them on another forum. I'm pretty sure he is still selling block off plates and various pulleys on ebay.

I think an underdrive alternator pulley on a street driven car is a bad idea. I had one for a while and it couldn't make enough juice at idle.

I don't plan to underdrive. Just trying to avoid the slippage.

I'm using stock TII s5 lim/uim/tb set up, ported the lim for 6 port engine but went a little overboard on the port, so I should have more air. After market parts are, 3" down pipe, aem intake take that I cut up it's 2.5". Stock Tii parts, are intake manifolds, turbo/manifold, cosmo boost sensor, n370 afm.

Today, I topped off 4th gear at 143ish, and was in 5th gear for a bit, so I was at 150mph easily. My afr at 4th at 7,900 rpmish was 11.2. I think I might do a build thread, but it's stock everything.

Looks like he stopped selling them a while ago. There was another place selling them. I have to look through my emails.
