Unorthodox pulley kit question
Hey guys I have a question for the guys that used or still have the complete Unorthodox pulley kit installed in there seven or for the guys that just know something about it? With this kit can you remove the air pump or would you still have to buy the Greddy pulley kit for that? Thanks

I have the kit posted. It is the new version that does not require removing the eccentric shaft bolt. All pully diameter sizes are the same. The water pump tension pulley is black becuase it's hard anodized something. The rest are polished. I don't beleive they offer any colors any more. You could eliminate the air pump with a true 28" belt.

Main pulley question?
When removing the crank pulley is there any special way of removing it and also when installing? The question popped out because of this

Does any one know if this is true or if anyone done this, what special steps if any did you take to remove the main pulley?

It is true. The pics on the Mazdatrix FAQ are from my engine. The damage happened after I installed a new front pulley that required the removal of the hub and center bolt.

1) If the engine is in the car (this DOES NOT APPLY for 93-95's) do something to wedge the clutch pedal down -- meaning a 2x4 or something like it, holding the pedal down and wedged against steering wheel or front of the seat.
I don’t see why step 1 wouldn’t work on the 93-95 rx7. Can any body explain why it wouldn’t work I really like this step better than step 2?
3) For 93-95's you need to do something to wedge the flywheel forward - easiest we have done is a small piece of wood up through the inspection plate on the bottom of the bell housing. With the wood between the pressure plate and the bell housing. Do something to hold it there, because if you rotate the engine while trying to get the bolt loose, the wood will fall out.
Also do I need to follow the step only if aim removing or loosening the main pulley eccentric shaft bolt? Because my pulley looks like I don’t have to remove the eccentric shaft bolt it looks like I only have to remove the four smaller bolts and install it would I still have to follow the step when only removing the four smaller bolts around the stock pulley? This pulley looks like it installs just like the Pettit main pulley.

Thanks a lot guys! I have pics of the pulley but aim haveing trouble posting them it says they are to big for some reason I always posted pictures this size but know its giving me some BS since I rebooted my Pc. If any one knows what can be done to fix this let me know so I can post the pics? Thanks
Ok aim trying to install the main pulley but when I removed the stock main pulley I noticed that the stock pulley also has a black circular like spacer with a bunch of square like holes on it. Know my question is was my Unorthodox main pulley suppose to come with on or do you just mount it with out one and thats how it suppose to mount with out one or what? Help me out guys aim in the middle of it right know? Thanks
O and by the way this pulley looks like it mounts like the stock or like the Pettit pulley but this one has no spacer to it.

Can you reword you question?
Old UR pulley requires you to remove the eccentric shaft bolt.
New UR pulley mounts exactly like stock (only replaces the front pulley).

If your old pulley is the stock pulley, and you own the new UR pulley you do not need to remove the crankshaft bolt to replace it. That plate you are referring to is the locking plate for the crankshaft bolt that can be used on the stock or newer UR pulley. It is there to prevent the crankshaft bolt from coming undone completely just in case it wasn't torque on properly. Entirely, up to you if you want to install it with the new UR pulley.
NM, i think I know what you're talking about. In the rear is a timing wheel, "square like holes". Thats required.

Did you also have an oil leak that coudn't be traced? My eccentric shaft bolt was loose when I picked up my engine. They supposedly used a front cover from another block when they tested my engine.
