anyone ever used one of these pulley kits?
Like the titlesays, has anyone ever used one of these pulley kits? apparantly the Greddy one is discontinued, or majorly backordered. i know ebay stuff is sometimes junk when it comes to turbos, etc, but anyone have any experience with these? thanks for the input.

I have that kit (not blue, but silver) and have installed another kit. They fit well, look good, and work well.
It's a shame that the best kit is the Ebay one
. The Greddy kit really isn't that great and is TERRIBLY overpriced.

Thanks for the input Dale! I do like that it is cheaper than the Greddy kit by a few bucks, and actually has more pulleys too, and it works out great, since the Greddy one is so backordered, or whatever.

Keep in kind, that pulley kit does not eliminate the smog pump, the main is underdrive, the rest are stock diameter. It will require an additional idler for installation without the smog pump.
That Greddy pulley kit is not discontinued or backordered, we have them in stock. These can be installed without and idler, but we still recommend it to help reduce bearing wear.

AFAIK for aftermarket idler pulleys Pineapple Racing is currently the only game in town.
For those who've deleted p/s and a/c, that main underdrive isn't ideal because it's one piece (vs the OEM two-piece design).

As previously mentioned, neither of the other two sources are currently producing them. And neither are authorized vendors here. It's a long shot, but you could google for a contact and see if they happen to have one left.

I'm sorry for bring this back from the grave, but was wondering if anyone knew what belt numbers to get for the Touge Factory pulley set. I have ordered a set, but I can't seem to find anything that mentions what belts to use. I'd like to avoid play the back and forth game to the auto parts store till I get the correct belts.

With the AP you can run stock belts. The main pulley is slightly undersized, so you may have to take up a little more slack, either at the AP adjustment or tensioner.
No. IMHO you should only remove the AP if you're on an aftermarket ECU. And IMO, only if properly removing all other emissions... i.e. block-off plates, unneeded solenoids, adding a hi-flow or delete the cat etc. Since there's no real performance gains and some risk of consequences, leave it otherwise.

Just as a heads up, my car won't pass smog at this point. I have a full turbo back on there eliminating both cats, I have a stock ECU for the moment, working on getting a PFC.

They were so old, I wasn't sure which would get me a response.
I understand creep, I dont intend to drive it until I get my pfc and have the car tuned. I am currently replacing lines and hoses, since it seems the car was not well maint. By one of the previous owners.
