Aaronsx · 04-16-2008, 02:38 PM

I've been a fan of UR and their products for quite a while now, and that didn't change when I started my first S-Chassis project. UR used to make a full Underdrive pulley set for the KA24DE, and I've been drooling over it ever since I read this article. I saw an unopened set sale for $300 recently on the forums, and I'm kicking myself for missing out on them. I'm tired of waiting on the parts to show up for sale, so I am working with UR now on the possibility of another production run. The minimum number of sets they will do a run for is 40. I'd keep a set for myself, and sell the rest here and on various other forums.

The full set (including crank pulley) yields 12whp.
Since the crank pulleys are widely available, I'd be getting only the accessory pulleys. Here is a pic of the full set submitted by Super240sx7185.

Pricing is looking okay on the individual level, but astronomical for me. I'm still working out all of the details, such as finish. Because of the enormous initial cost, there is utterly no way I can afford to do this like I had planned. If it happens, it'll have to be some form of a group buy.

NOTE: This is not a group buy thread, as I haven't decided how exactly to go forward with this. I will be contacting the Zilvia administration to make sure I have permission before I do any sort of group buy.

I can do this one pulley at a time, or sell the full sets. If I did it one at a time, it would be more expensive for all of us due to shipping and a huge pain in my butt. BUT it might be more feasible because of the lower initial cost.

Here's the PROJECTED pricing. This is not final, but should be close within $10 or so.

All three pulleys together: $230 Shipped

If I do them individually:

Alternator:$70
Power Steering: $90
Water Pump: $90

So what do you guys think? Who's still with me?
