yah, make sure if you guys plan on buying the 7 rib belt, it's the belt that NST mentioned. I bought a 7 rib belt (cuz I can't stand thinking I'm missing a rib) that was the same size but for some reason I lost a bit of power steering and annoying clicks coming from my engine. I'm guessing the alternator not working properly. Just a heads up.

Hi guys.

I bought my pulleys 3 weeks ago and this weekend I try to fit in my car but... I have problems.
First, the belt that I bought from NST is too short, I don't know why, because I put it together with OEM and is a bit large.
My OEM belt was fit in a different way than the DIY post, impossible to fit the pulley kit in any way...

I need help please

I have a question, people were telling me that changing the crank pulley voids your warranty. If this is true, and you decide not to touch it, will the other 2 smaller pulleys be effective as to adding some power?

I'm sure this is a dumb question but will this make a difference if I put this on an A/T versus a M/T??

Nice, yeah im thinking bout buying a set..but where can I get the 707 belt that the OP talks about fitting 100%, cuz all i see on the NST site is the 607 for the R18.
And are they still doing good deals on the pulleys as well?

r18 AT with injen CAI and just crank pulley. Felt the difference.

I got the crank pulley only so it would underdrive all my accesories for max gains. didnt get the whole set.

What do you mean frees up horsepower and how much do you figure, i have put it a CAI if that affects it. I also read on the site that it helps with your sound system. I put in two mtx 10s and when the base hits my headlights dim, will this help this?

So the kit he got was the 230$ one right with the 15% Crank, 15% Alternator, WP-Lite Water Pump KIT?

nothing can void your warrenty unless they can prove it caused a problem

but...this part would be something that would cause much warrenty trouble if something happened to your car
