do pulley kit really help? im thinking about getting one.. i no longer need the air pump

 

They do help a LITTLE bit...

but mostly they just look sweet!!! =)

depending on what you get, it can decrease the spinning of some of the accesories which might be a good thing. The lighter weight will also make it easier for the engine to turn everything and probably spare you up a small amount of HP...maybe 2 ish

I don;t know for sure...never done it.

 

Depends on the kit. Pettit sells the TKT POWER PULLEY KIT which doesn't eliminate the air pump and gives about 10hp gain. I would imagine some of the others would give back a little more HP, depending on the kit however the others are mostly for cars not using an Air Pump.

If you don't have a mid-pipe yet, and want to use the GReddy Pulley Kit, you'll need to do some more upgrades. Not only will you need a mid-pipe so you can eliminate your air pump, but you'll need an ECU and someway to control any boost creep that will come from the mid-pipe.

I have the TKT Power Pulley Kit on order. I'm expecting it any day now. If you like, I post some information about it when I receive it.

 

i just installed my hks ti exhaust and apex pfc so i have mid-pipe
but i still have my pre-cat...

 

If your gonna get a pulley kit you might want to get it chromed or polished before you put it on, it will look so sweet!

 

get rid of the precat, replace it with a down pipe. If you can afford the ti exhaust the down pipe shouldnt be a problem

 

the greddy kit already comes colored blue. it looks pretty hot. plus the air pump is bulky and heavy, even if it doesn't add much hp by getting rid of it, it w/o a doubt cleans up the engine compartment and takes away a little weight.
