PULLEYS

[Lupetto]

Ive been speaking to a few of the guys in NST in the states regarding a light weight pulley kit for the Scion TC or 2AZ-FE engine.

Seeying as not much changes in the way for performance parts with the TC or Camry (as long as its a 2AZ-FE) most of the parts from the states are actually

compatible. (im pretty sure ive read some where thought that the TC run a diff ECU? not 100% sure though on that one)

There website is

the pulleys are

NST02020 @$141 aust

and

NST02025K @$205. aust

all in all around tottal of $350 (not inc postige, wich i gather that since its not that heavy shouldnt be more then $50 -60)

Question i have though is this

is there a place in Australia that actually make something simmilar for the 2AZ? Since its not really a poppular engine platform i wouldnt think so

a 20% Underdrive Crank Pulley i can understand will cause a rise in performance + Acc responce but will a 20% Alternator &

WP-Lite Water Pump KIT actually benifit performance at all? I wouldnt think so > rather it will help out Elec Components I.E Amps/CD Player etc etc

Any one worked on something simmilar?

well in theory heavier pulleys on the power steering and water pumps, and on the alternator, would cause more restriction then lightweight pulleys, even with a lightweight crank pulley. so i guess every little bit helps towards more ponies at the wheels

[Lupetto]

you would hope so with the weight differences being

Crank Pulley

OEM 59oz

NST 14oz

-Alternator Pulley

OEM 10oz

NST 03oz

-Water Pump Pulley

OEM 14oz

NST 06oz

its not really the ponnies im after > its the Responce.

having sayd that as it is i have noticed the revs are very lazy and not as responcive as they could be.

because youre obviously being more perfomance focussed on your car, it's probably all psychological and your just expecting more perfomance from it now. but the pulleys would make a massive difference in how freely the engine wants to rev

i've been looking into this for my car, but i'm having a hard time finding anything really. every performance part i come across is for the 2az-fe.

The OEM Toyota part # for the tC and Camry 2AZ crank pulley is the same, lol. Couple guy's here int he States have used the tC crank pulley on thier Camry's.

Oh unless i go and put bigger cams / or FI the 2AZ

most of the performance will all be psichological > but there will be noticable gains.

So far ive got it all planned out right :)

So once its done ill post it up with what whent in and what i got out from what i put in:)
