Can someone tell me all the belts and pulleys (kits) I should get?
My water pump blew while I'm in Raleigh and now I have to get my car towed back to Wilmington. *sigh*

So since my belts have been squeaking and I have no clue how many miles are on them (at least 25k) and one of my pulleys looks warped, I figured I'll splurg a good 600-700$ and buy a pulley set, and all the belts I can to replace them all, and the water pump.

I'm getting the machv power kevlar timing and balance shaft belts, and the machv 3 piece pulley kit. I want to know if it would be worth it to spend that extra 300$ to get the bushure pulley and dampener w/ belts. I know if I replaced the underdrive pulley I WILL need a dampener. Thanks guys

 

300.00 for A pulley?

I would just replace what is needed to oem and spend the 400-500 dollars you'll save and buy a wideband or cams . You will see much more gains w/cams vs pulleys.

 

k thnx for that bit of advice

 

This is definitely a guy to be taking advice from! Slow ass Talon.. Ha..ha..ha..








ha.

 

But a VERY SEXY talon :-D

 

$700 on pullies? it doesnt even cost me that to switch my supercharger and the other pullies to a complete Cog system

 

the only thing you need to replace on a DSM is the damn crank pulley. keep the other shit stock. you will have less troubles.


i crack up when people buy the kevlar belts. every one i have installed is identical to a stock belt, other then the color.


i have NEVER seen a belt break on an engine that was replaced when it was supposed to. 60k change it as insurance. its cheap. heads are not.


and get a NEW water pump, not a reman. the cost is about four dollars more, and it is much less likely to go out on you afterwards.

 

Why do you say that about the pulleys?

 

I think what he means is that the oem pulleys are more than enough. Sure they are lighter but I feel that they are a waste of money. Hell, pulling your balance shafts would probably add more power vs pulley's, and the bal. shaft eliminator kit is 42.00. Although it requires much more work than pulley's lol.

I was just using cams as an example to where your money could be spent. I don't think cams would benefit your setup to much right now, but fuel/fmic/or full exhaust would.

 

yea well why not especially when I gotta take that crap off anyways. hince i said above one of them is warped..
