Unorthodox Racing under drive pully

[crazyoldcougar]

well i just installed it yesturday...

noting noticeable to note yet, however the papr work does say it will take a couple days for the computer to learn it..since i drive my car about once a week i should know better in a month or so...LOL

as for install it was a piece of cake...seriously easier then then even an intake install..

only problem was breaking the rust built on the factory crank pully...

factory pully weighs about 3-4 pounds...unorthodox pully about 13 oz...

install was simple like i said...i didi it twice actually cause the belt i bought was the wrong size so i had to revert back to factory to drive to the parts store for a new one..

second time i installed it i did it in the parking lot with the wheel on still, that how easy it was...only tools needed were:
10mm socket to remove the plastic shroud in the wheel well, and an 18 mm socket to crack the bolt on the crank...obvioulsy you need the ratchet too...for the smart a**es LOL....oh and a 8 mm socket to remove the lower timing cover...

you have to shave off the lip on the timing cover to make the belt fit properly...i took about 3/16 of and inch off and belt fits fine...the instructions gaurantee that doing this will not harm anything...i still dont know about this..

the UR pully has holes right through it, therefore allowing the elements into the timing area...i guess i will see if this creats any problems down the road...

anyway, once the timing cover is shaved and reinstalled the pully slides on like butter and bolt her back in...if you have a 5 spd you will need a helper though to put the car in 5th and hold the brakes on...

now for the belt...since my A/C no longer works i just decided to bypass it...with just the UR pully and by passing the A/c you will need a 75.5" belt or a 76"...i really wanted a gatorback but the local guys didnt carry that size so i had to settle for a generic belt.. UR says to use a 79.5 inch belt..i tried there was no way it was fitting around...there was obviously so much slack i didnt even consider driving/ starting the car...I went with a smaller belt, that was pretty tight going on...cause i am having a custom alt pully made...guy at the alt shop said i already had the smallest available pully on the alt so i figured i would just get a smaller one made..so hopefully when i put the smaller alt pully on it will slacken up the belt a bit..

any rate everything is good so far...

i wil be swaping out the exhaust soon and then hitting th dyno to see what my 1000+ dollars has bought me in the way of HP...

LOL i am not holding my breath though..

[diddy]

haha. yeah, that 1000 bucks might have gotten you like 20hp to the wheels. lol

[james99]

haha. yeah, that 1000 bucks might have gotten you like 20hp to the wheels. lol

hey it couldve been worse. i couldve put $1000 in mods into my auto zetec and got like 5hp to the wheels.:rofl: it still good to see someone actually doing something to the zetec no one around here really does anymore.

hey, im planning on doing as much as i can thats legal...(passing smog without having to change out everything every two years.) How much did the pulley cost you crazyoldcougar?

[diddy]

do you live in cali?

[skull_heaven]

yep he does poor sucker. i thank god that i live in wisconsin. and i too am doing stuff to my zetec too only i'm not too worried about alot of laws.

[diddy]

my parents are moving away from metro atlanta, so I won't have to worry about emissions when they move. w00t!

[crazyoldcougar]

i got it on Ebay 18 bucks...i love those last minute bids..

[Yofavcracka]

i got it on Ebay 18 bucks...i love those last minute bids..
dang!... thats nice man. Im probably gonna ge the zxtuners one. anybody know about that one?

[diddy]

dang!... thats nice man. Im probably gonna ge the zxtuners one. anybody know about that one?


it's pretty good

[Yofavcracka]

sweet, you have it? is the install pretty much the same as the unorthodox one? can you feel the difference?

[diddy]

no, unfortunately it doesn't fit on my tiburon:rofl: but it's made pretty well, and yeah, you feel a pretty decent difference from it. install is the same as the unorthadox pulley

[Yofavcracka]

alright, guess im picking one up... Zxtuner one for 60 bucks...then one of the belts for like 27 bucks, right on!

[crazyoldcougar]

yeah, i can really start to feel a big difference in pep...and there doesnt seem to nearly as much throttle lag anymore either...

thumbs up i am seriously impressed for my 18 bucks

[Yofavcracka]

sweet!...though mine doesnt have much throttle lag at all...i dunno? maybe my throttle cable is set really closely cuz i barley push on the gas at all and i get a decent take off ya know?

[Yofavcracka]

why?

[diddy]

to keep it from turning

[crazyoldcougar]

yup once you put that 18mm wrench on there you get a lot of torque...ps keep your hands away from the brakes dring this process...got my shirt pinched...could have easily been a nice piece of skin...

trust me our cars have throttle lag..unless you have some TB porting or something it is there...lol my car wa so bad you could look at the Tach and give it gas and count to atleast 1 or 2 before the needle moved..now she moves with the pedal..

[Yofavcracka]

yup once you put that 18mm wrench on there you get a lot of torque...

what do ya mean, when your installing it?

[diddy]

yes

[Yofavcracka]

does it like spin or something...wow i feel like a noob but i am one when it comes to pulleys...

[diddy]

the pulleys turn, so you put it in gear to keep anything from movin, then the breaks to keep the car from movin.

[Yofavcracka]

can u put the ebrake on instead of holding the brakes?

[crazyoldcougar]

since yo have done this i am sure you meant to say to keep the transmission from moving...as the car will jacked up with the ebrake on anyway to do this most likely..if you just put the car in fifth gear you can still turn the engine over with the wrench...appling the brakes keeps it from turning over, since the transmission and the wheels cant spin...

and yofavcracka, i am pretty sure the ebrake only locks the rear wheels, hence why it is super easy to do brake burns and fishtales...

[crazyoldcougar]

wow my bad...i guess if you only jack up one side of the car, then appling the brakes would keep the car from moving, obviously if the car is in gear and you turn the engine over with the wrench the car will roll...

yeah....I woulda typed all that out, but I didn't really feel like it:rofl:

Does anyone know the belt size for the UDP if you are running A/C? I have an Esslinger Pulley and need to get the belt size.
