DIY ** NST Civic SI underdrive pulleys - Page 5

Actually you don't need a new belt with the UR pulley's since there isn't that much of a difference in crank pulley size.
But I will go with the NST once they are readily available. I want them in Red

If I remember correctly the sellers claim that you will not need a new belt, but the threads the users have posted here all say that they did have to buy a new belt to go with the UR kit.

Bump, dyno's?

Shark Tek · 05-21-2007, 12:41 PM

Guys I dont know if the dynos that you are asking are for the NST kit but if you do a search under my username I have a thread in where I show a pre/post install dyno for the NST kit. The runs were made the same night, same dyno.

how do you get the dang plastic things out of the wheel well, im scared to do it becaues ive already broken one :'(

***Sirbelch*** · 06-13-2007, 07:08 PM

I have the UR pully set sitting in my room for the last 2 months and the directions say that you don't need a new belt. We have a belt tensioner so i don't see why you would but i guess i can't dispute the real world data that comes from the people on this site. I'll put them in in a month when i get some extra time off from work.

What do you mean? The little clips? So what if you break them, just get a handfull from Autozone. The fenderwell cover will come right out. It's no big deal.

i have 11 days off in july, 5 days in vagas and 6 days to do nothing so i am waiting until then to do it. sorry.

Go to LIke Autozone or Oreilys. Get an interior clip tool. It has a handle like a screw driver the end is bent like a pry bar and the tip is forked. This will get those little clips out with no problems.

60103 · 06-20-2007, 08:44 PM

got mine today and installed them 30 min later. Great product, must have!!

EuphoricRhythm · 06-22-2007, 10:24 PM

how did you get the nut off the crank? should it be in a specific gear?

***Sirbelch*** · 06-23-2007, 12:14 AM

The instructions for the UR pully set say to put the car in 6th and press the brake really hard and it the nut with an impact gun.

EuphoricRhythm · 06-23-2007, 01:20 PM

well i got no instructions with it. we did end up getting it by putting it in 5th and cranking the motor with a breaker bar, although we broke the first breaker bar lol. got everything finished up and i can say i feel alittle difference in throttle response.

***Sirbelch*** · 06-23-2007, 06:19 PM

Over the next week or so, depending on how much you drive it, the ecu will adjust for the lighter rotating mass of the engine and the amount of power made will slowly increase until the ecu is happy.
