Pulleys good or bad? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

That's one hell of a power gain from a stock engine when they tested the pulleys. Not too bad for a gain overall with the 3 parts, going from 129 to into the 150's with only puleys, intake and an exhaust. So I'm definatly going with a pulley set, I dont give a shit about power loss from my alternator since I dont have a banger system in it anyway, all that shit does is attract broke people anyway. So out of the companies...which should I go for for a complete set of all 4?

Good research on the topic...

Along with the article, IMO the pulleys are worth it...I installed a UR "SS" pulley on my turbo altima and noticed a difference in the midrange...granted my 'ass dyno' isn't always the best method in terms of actual power output, what it is best for is creating a bigger grin on my face when I know my new bolt on made a difference

As for pulleys, you could always check out the Enjuku Racing pulleys that they sell on their site....about 100 less than the greddy set, and I believe lighter as well!!

Always remember, peak HP means nothing...it's all about the powerband gain!
