Hey All

Wondering what people think about the 3 x Pulley Kits that are available?

Was searching the forum & people have mentioned they are good for a minimal outlay, but everyone seems to have manuals

Anyone used one on an auto as yet? Do you get the same advantages as the manuals?

Lastly, what brands are people using? I know GFB make the kit (Which is well priced & readily available) but has anyone had any experience with a Jap brand or (Dare I say) US brand?

Before anyone says it, I'm not expecting massive gains in power etc. But if it makes the car rev a little more freely & drive nicer overall, that's all I'm looking for.

Cheers
Matt

Not worth the money at all.

Made no noticeable difference

Intercooler upgrade + ECU tune would be a much better option.

Oh I'm doing all that too

Was just wondering if it's worth while in general on the auto. Like I said, I'm not expecting massive gains in performance. But if it does increase the drivability etc, then it may be worth while looking into.

The most info I've found (On the forum) has been when combined with a manual.

Matt, for an auto I'm incline to recommend the exhaust, DP, top mount, intake, and ECU first. Then if you're not satisfied, go with the pulleys. And if you do go the pulleys, stick with the one for the crank only.

It's not worth the money, seriously. And you can't even see them...

So do pulleys at the same time as you get the STi radiator cap.

did you all know that the top radiator cap is already 1.3 bar?

same spec as the STi and most aftermarket ones... but it just doesn't look as bling.

That's why I just stuck a $5 decal sticker on mine!

Looks like I'll be giving it a miss then.
