IT takes a bit of time for NST to tool up to machine the pulley. I would say at least 3 weeks for now.I really recommend getting the alt and idler.with the crank pulley you may experience an occasional dimming of light at low rpm.the alt pulley corrects this and makes for more stable charging.then the idler pulley keeps you from needing to get a different belt and looks really good up top.

Wouldn't it be beneficial for them to list a "KIT" price now even thou they don't have the Idler pulley in production yet. That way people could start ordering the kit with the forwarning that it will be about 3-4 weeks before they will receive the product. At least they would see how many people would be interested and base their production on that number.
They should have some idea what they will be charging for the kit?!

There is a group buy for the UR pulley kit under way which is $200 bucks but I would prefer the NST pulleys and I think they are worth the wait.

Same here, these are definantely worth the wait, however theres gotta be some ballpark figure. So were probably looking at least 2-3 months before there kits available? NST needs to buy another machine shop and start cranking these out like krispy kremes!

Yumm, Krispy Creme's

I agree.. why does it take soooo long to crank out a few hundred pullies?
They should contract somebody to get it done and done a little quicker.

My guess would be that the kit will run about $250-275. Anything higher and they will price themselves out of the market. UR sells their kits for around $200 shipped when there is a group buy. I would be willing to pay $250 for the NST kit.

ABM JDM · 03-31-2007, 10:15 PM

NST's R18 kit is $255... I'd be down for a group buy of anywhere between $200-$255. So how about it? Anyone check it out w/ Mike on AIM yet?

Look for Mike on AOL. He is the president of the company and can answer any question you can throw at him regarding pulleys.

NST FTW

Ok, I talked to Mike and he says that all 3 pulleys, crank alternator & idler, are going into production. They will all become in-stock items in about 5 or 6 weeks tops.

HE SAYS ANYONE WHO ORDERS THE CRANK AND ALTERNATOR PULLEY RIGHT NOW AS A PAIR WILL GET A FREE IDLER!

Go to the link bellow and order the following two pieces:
NST22015 & NST22022 $125 Crank & $88 Alternator

NST FTW

Tell me these guys don't care about our community

If you look on their website you will see that they have so many products listed. Over 100 pulleys in fact. They are constantly working on different pulleys and its not like they only build Civic stuff. Good things are worth the wait. And if they contracted the work out to someone else how would you know that the products would be built to proper specs and held in check?

And you don't have to pay $250 for their kit. $125 + $88 = $213. Buy them now and get a free idler. You can't beat that.

Civicn33b · 04-19-2007, 03:12 PM

Civicn33b · 04-19-2007, 03:13 PM

Dyno Numbers don't tell the whole story. The major gain with these are that they have less rotational mass and have a slight underdrive.
So you will see better overall performance and better pull mainly in the midrange where it counts. Top end performance will probably not see much of an increase but it will be an overall gain where you can feel it.

regaurdless thanks tom for the info and eugen for being a wannabe mod

<~~ not a flame!

Tom1222 · 04-20-2007, 11:41 PM

I think it is a worthwhile mod. Every little bit helps and it is just another piece of the puzzle. I will place my order as soon as I get my Credit Cards paid down a bit. I went Mod crazy for a while and have to recouperate from my spending spree
