Throttle Pulley for KA24DE - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Shift_Dr1ft · 07-28-2008, 08:20 PM

Hi all,
Well I came across this item called AGP Throttle Pulley the description says that it: Reduce throttle cable travel
Reduce cable travel distance mimic power increase and throttle response
I was wondering if anyone have one of these on their car and how to you like it? I would like to purchase one to have better throttle response and for $74 is not too bad. I just want some feedback for those who are running this item on their car.

I like how they don't lie, by using the word mimic, I guess it would tighten up the throttle and make it feel better, but I bet you get less mileage, by not having as much control of where you want the throttle position, I am purely speculating, but I don't think you would lose much if you do. And no I don't own one, just throwing in my .02

Well your opinion is appreciated so don't worry. Never thought about the idea of losing throttle control though.

$74? They sell those on Ebay for about $25 shipped. I know it originated in the Honda society but don't personally know if it works.

Shift_Dr1ft · 07-28-2008, 09:26 PM

O, I found it on Phase2's website if you were worried Ebay. On 240sxmotoring.com they sell it for 72.25, haha.

It's a smaller diameter then stock. Makes for a shorter pedal travel. Nice if you only have two pedal positions(closed and WOT). It can be harder to control at part throttle.

Shift_Dr1ft · 07-28-2008, 09:37 PM

True, that makes more sense now to me. I did some more research on it and it says that it reduces the factory throttle pulley by 20%

hustlervibes · 07-28-2008, 09:52 PM

And you lose cruise control if that matters to you.

Edit: I was wrong

murda-c · 07-28-2008, 09:58 PM

That long pedal travel is what i use as traction control.

burnsauto · 07-28-2008, 10:13 PM

yeah....i guess that mili-second it takes for you to floor it is just too much of a fuss to deal with

No, you don't. I have the pulley and cruise. They say you have to 'modify' it, but the throttle body goes back together just like it came apart. As for feel, the modulation is a hair different, doesn't add anything that I noticed, I just bought it because my OE pulley was bent a little.

Shift_Dr1ft · 07-28-2008, 10:26 PM

Thank you for all your opinion and advice. I am going to take projectRDM words and not buy it thanks for helping me save my money :]

I didn't know that, thanks for clarifying.
